SACRAMENTO, Sept. IT. W.P)-
William Gibbs McAdoo, senior
senator from California scathingly
denounced the Republican party
today as being controlled by an
economic obligarchy of industrial
and financial interests, which would
repeal all laws that have brought
relief to distressed people.
McAdoo was principal speaker at
a Democratic state meeting here.
1--WE meet today" he said, not as
the representatives of a narrow
and partisan Democratic party,
witr a registration $4,000 greater
than that of our Republican op-
uonents. We meet as union of
Democrats with that great body of
progressives and first voters, who,
with clear vision and understanding
have cast their lot with Roosevelt
president Roosevelt has adhered
strictly to the ancient Democratic
faith, namely, that government is
instituted for the benefit of all Of
the governed, and not as the tool
of any class or part of the govern
ed. :"

whether the income and excess pro-

the decline in flow or by the gov

Gas TAX LAW Is
NOT INITIATED DUE
To Few SlGHERS

Montana gas producers sighed
with relief as the initiative petit

election, omitting the proposed law
increasing the tax on natural gas
to two cents per thousand cubic
feet.
Imagine a producer who is get
ting 3 cents per thousand for his
gas paying a tax Of cents per
thousand?
The proposed bill was drawn by
some dumb-head who thought he
was going to tax the big gas COM
panies. He did not know that the
pan as worded would hit the land
owner and the 'little" operator
who is tied up under longtime
contracts for the sale OF his gas.
The gas industry though absent
treatment was the best method
and gave no publicity to the petit
tions as they were being circulated.
They failed To get sufficient signers.

SHOW OF OIL
CUT BANK SAND,
PENDROY TEST

A showing Of oil in q 30-foot
Cut Bank sand is reported from
the Tarrant- Wa1lenstine test on
P0nderay structure, west Of Pom
dera oil field.
The sand was found from
2285 feet to 2315 and the slush
was reported covered with oil
Friday morning. The amount of
oil was not commercial, hww-
ever, and drilling cntinues to
the objective sands in the base
Of the Ellis. The presence Of any
oil in this horizon is surprising
for this sand usually carries
salt water in Pendory district
Drilling with 10-inch hole,
Tarrant is ready to care for any
water flow that may be found,

has prevented completion of
commercial wells in previous
tests. Location is NV NV

employment and thereby put some
extra money in circulation in the
Treasure State.
In his proclamation Governor Holt
emphasizes that Montana people
need all the employment that can
possibly be afforded. He points out
that Montana oil wells are standing
idle, state revenue which should be
accommodating are cut off and the
regular business channels of the
state suffer as imported brands OF
gasoline continue to dominate the
Montana market. During the year
1885 there was more imported gaso-
line used than the Montana-made
variety, inasmuch as Montana refin-
ers exported over six million gallons
to Canada. Had this gasoline been
sold in the Montana market, the use
of Monatna-made gasoline would
have for the first time exceeded use
of imported brands
There are 80 refinertes in the
state, nine of which are shut down.
The active refineries have capacity
of 26,SS0 barrels per day
Against this refinery capacity Is q
daily average production OF 1900
barrels per day--1learly 10000 Dar-I
rels per day less than refinery ca
Dacity
Montana has 1 oil fields in which
are 412 producing oil farms and
a total of LASS producing oil
wells. The landowners share OF the
oil is divided among 2,S0O royalty
owners, who received about three
quarters Of a million dollars.
There are nearly 10000 men,
women and children in Montana de-
pendent upon the oil industry Tor
their livihood. This includes oil
field employees and their families,
refinery employees and their families
and filing station owners and en-
ployes and their families. There
are 2,313 filling stations in Montana
bulk plants.
The production Of crude oil
brought $6,00O,000 Of new money
into the business channels Of Mon
tana in 1935-a figure which could
easily be doubled, we're Montana re-
finers to use enough Montana crude

LEASING Law
SUBJECT Of
CONFERENCE

From the widespread interest
evinced in the public lands situation,
large delegations of citizens from
every public land state are expected
for the meeting on the O'Mahoney-
Greever Act to be held in Casper.
July 90.
Time OF the meeting is 10 o'clock,
Monday morning, and place Is the
Masonic Hall The purpose OF the
meeting is to formulate plans for
bringing about a modification OF
the Department of Interior rules
and regulations governing the
leasing of federal oil lands in the
public lands states.
Rocky Mountain oil and gas op-
orators feel tibet the government roy
atty scale is excessive, and western
ers in general feel that the regula-
tions are so stringent as TO hold
back the development OF natural
resources
THE meeting Is non-p0litical as
far as party affiliation," said
Robert Taylor. Wyoming oil op-
orator, named temporary chairman
OF the meeting. ''It IS called for
purpose of forming a strong organi-
zation OF westerners interested in
public lands. We plan to assemble
facts and ammunition for Western
In presenting our
problems to Congress toward Sc
curing more equitable laws gov
erning the leasing of federal oil
lands, so that citizens living in
the west may enjoy the benefits OF
the development OF western oil lands
and may share in the control and
OF those lands"
