From the Asheville Citizen
Times: If we did not have the
poor with US, we'd have to manu-
facture them for the good of So
ciety, because helping the needy
provides a means of spiritual edu-
cation.
Well, all right, if that's the
way you feel about it.
Mr.. Henry Baker, President
General of the National Society of
the Sons Of the American Revolu-
tin: I am fearful that many peo-
pie think the teachers oath solves
the question. Do not put your
faith in this oath. The only Solu-
tion is to select teachers who have
the proper background. Our at
tention should be concentrated up
on those who select the teachers.
We must influence them to ap-
point only those who are 100 per
cent in their beliefs and practices.
Why not Just close the
schools and let's all join the
Boy Scouts?

EXPECTS OIL
On Low Side
OF Big Fault

While r. c. Tarrant is expected
to drill another we'll on the high"
side Of the Pendroy fault. west OF
Pondera oil field. E. b. Emrick,
petroleum geologist. is urging a
test on the down-throw side OF the
fault which constitutes one OF the
most pronounced structural feat
ures in the central Sweetgrass
Arch.
GeolOgist Emrick this week re-
veals that the fault against which
the recent Tarrant we'll was drilled
has a displacement OF 400 feet.
This probably throws the Koote-
mai in contact with the Madison
lime he says. This doubtless means
a definite seal to halt the mfgra-
tion OF oil, which we know accumu-
lates from the northwest and west
The north side OF the fault, how
ever, Is the "iow" side. Prospecting
on the south side OF the fault has

but not in commercial quantities.
am convinced that a well on the
north side OF this fault will find a
pool of trapped oil. II NAV not be
very large but IL is possible that
the wells will be large"
Mr.. Emrick cites a recent in
stance Of the development OF
oil on the low side of a SINH
lar fault in Oklahoma. Although the
pool was small some of the lar
gest wells In Oklahoma were COM
pleted along this fault
I'VE know that we have 500
feet OF enclosure. from the log Of
the Gypsy well to the northwest,
Emrick states. THAT Is sufficient to
insure ms OF accumulation against
so large barrier. as a 400-foOt
fault displacement. There Is esce-
lon faulting away from the main
fault and II was near one OF these
faults that the Continental Devel-
Opment company well found it's oil.
While I favor another wei on the

location I am equally
anxious to see a test on the low

MONTANA MADE
GASOLINE LEADS
IMPORTED SALES

HELENA. Aug 2O-The gasoline
refining industry In Montana Is
growing larger and for the first
time gasoline taxes collected from
gasoline refined in Montana lately
has exceeded the amount collected
on imported gasoline
In May and June more taxes
were collected on the local product
than on that brought in from other
states In May the total collected
from Montana refined gasoline was
$271,78702 and from the imported
product, $264,97S17. net gain Of
$6,S08S5.
In June total taxes collected on
Montana gasoline reached S298,157,-
2S as compared with $243,703,57
collected on the imported product.
a net gain OF $54 ,053.71.
Since 1927. when the present
gasoline act was passed, this is the
first time gasoline taxes on the
Montana product have exceeded
those collected from outside gaso-
line.
These figures were taken from
report made by the gasoline tax
division OF the state board OF equal
ization.
Gasoline taxes collected in 1885
exceeded $4.000,0O0 and Il is esti-
mated by the board that the in
crease in gasoline consumption IN
the state this year will lift the
taxes to more than 100000.

the Big West refinery at Kelvin

w. E. Rice properties have been

Under the plan outlined, the po-
tential for each lease must be es-
tablished by test OF 20 days or
more. Bill Mcknight suggested a
60 or 80 day test, to give the true
status of each property, Theweaf-

In Kevin-Sunburs field there are
approximately ESQ producing wells
and a market for approximately
5000 barrels per day, based on
June-July runs Were the allow
able fixed at barrels, all wells
producing five barrels or less
would be allowed to operate at ca

barrels per day. then the remain

be equitably prorated among wells
making more than five barrels per
day. The use of five barrels is
arbitrary 1t might be 10 barrels.
Lon Crumley suggested three bar

The Human Side of the News

You simply had to have the price
of admission to cross these State
boundaries.
One can fully understand and
sympathize with the problems Of
these States in facing tides Of in
digent migration. The point here
is that in many States exigent
situations have caused a total dis
regard Of the Constitution and
rights Of individual citizens.
A similar no mans land OF the
law has arisen in the conflict Of
States over liquor carrying over
State boundaries. Pennsylvania
constabulary guarded It's borders
against bootleg gasoline. During
the depression years there have
been more and more frequent in
stances of judges exceeding their
authority and imposing fantastic
sentences with no ground in law.
The trend, to a degree, is appar-
emily a reaction against the over
whelming drive toward federaliza-
ton and Capitalization at Wash
ington.
The Supreme Court has checked
this in some instances and no
doubt will be a bulwark against
unwarranted liberalization in the
future. But the rebound, in which
the status of even a non-gentleman
drunk is at issue before the law,
is quite as important, in the ira
ditional framework of our Govern
ment-and possibly more so, for
historically. the most brutal as
saults of stupid officialdom have
been against the safeguards Of the
person, and there is a zone OF dan
ger there.

Government expenditures shot
across the 5000 million-dollar
mark yesterday for the first time
this fiscal year, the Treasury an
nounced last night.
Miscellaneous internal revenue
collections, meantime, topped the
1000 million figure for the first
time, or 153 millions above the
$S78, 1877 ,508 that came into the
till in the same period a year ago.
Outlays of $3,027 ,016,560 thus
far this year showed the Govern
ment was spending more slowly
than last year when expenditures
aggregated $3,2S1, ,957,139.
With expenditures less by about
$50 millions and revenues 180 mil
lions above a year ago, Treasury
officials said indications were
that the Government would be
able to present an improved IL
nancial picture at the end OF the
fiscal year next June 30.
Revenues thus far aggregate
$1,731 ,323,151, ompared with
$1,549, ,544,654. The greatest gain
has been in miscellaneous rev.
enues totaling $1,025, ,159, ,476
against 1878, ,167, 500 last year
Increased consumption Of liquor
and tobacco was cited for the
growth Of miscellaneous tax col

Meanwhile the deficit stood at
