Because the republic has tried to

prejudicial to the vast majority of the
country. Because it has wanted to

Because it has thought it It's task,

idea is quite in line with the cele-
brated fight of Governor Cameron
Morrison in his latter official years,
when he sought to bring freight rates
down by the establishment of several
State terminals. The project involved
an expenditure of about $1000OO0O in
bonds. The governor got it through
his legislature and the regular cleo
ton of 1924 passed upon it. It was de-
feated. But there is no such grandiose
dream proposed by Representative
Oscar G. Barker, of Durham, who
heads the commission and fathered
the bill.
The State purchases more than 49,
100000 gallons of gasoline annually
for it's own use, tut a State-owned
terminal would help in general re-
duction, it is argued. The first hear
ing of the commission is to be an
nounced after an appointment Friday
August %, with his excellency who re-
turns tonight from Boston.
The governor has had three con-
siderable public tits with the oil com
panies on the subject of gasoline
rates, but has not had the success for
which he hoped. He is highly SYM
pathetic with the inquiry which Mr.
Barker is going to conduct.
