ASSOCIATION WANTS
OIL FIELD S OPENED TO
AROUSE COM ETTTION

National OIL Marketers Association
has issued a bulletin from it's Wash
ington. d. G. office, entitled "Con-
servatIon For Whom9"
with this good start the pubaica-
ton omfts the subject matter and
attacks the Connolly ''hot oil'' bill
and the interstate compact, ending
up by proposing enactment of an a
mendment to the Interstate Com
merce Act divorcing pipe lines and
tankers from the fntergrated oil
companies.
Regarding the ''hot OH" law and
the interstate compact It says:
Competition is the antdthesis of
monopoly-lbOth cannot survive.
Competition. meaning an open mar
ket in the oil industry, is well nigh
fmnossible so long as these two
statutes and the Issuance of fore
rasts OF market demand continue.
In fairness to the public and the
oil marketer they should
be promptly repealed.

MOTORISTS
WON'T LIKE
ALKY BLEND

A meeting of the executive com
mittee OF the Petroleum Industries
Committee of Montana, held Thurs
da in Hotel Rainbow in Great Falls
was attended not only by the COM
mitteemen but by % other produc-
ers, refiners and marketers and re-
solved itself into a formidable dis
cussion OF legislative problems Of
the industry, local and national.
The producers expressed them
selves in favor of reducing the
3-Sths of one cent per barrel
tax, imposed for the support OF the
Oil Conservation Board, to one
fourth cent per barrel and to make
remittances quarterly instead of
monthly. The committee will sup
port such a measure in the legisla-
ture.

that the proposed 10 per cent adul-
duration would mean curtailment
of 600,0O0 barrels of crude per day,
meaning a return OF chaos TO the
oil industry which is Just getting
on Its feet following the disastrous
depression years.
High Costs
Mr.. Lentz pointed out that with,
corn at SO cents a bushel the pro-
posed blend would increase the
price OF gasoline cents per gall
Ion. Dollar per bushel corn would
increase the price of gasoline 4
cents per gallon, which means an
era of discomfort among motorists
OF the nation. He also stated that

such a blend results In stratifica-

HARMONY IS
RESTORED IN
OIL CIRCLES

Announcement of the with
drawal of the proposed
measure to create a new oil
conservation board in the
State of Montana was made
to the Montana Oil & Mining
journal Wednesday after
noon by Senator Dan Drum
heller of Glacier county.
The bill drew vigorous
fire from members of the in
dustry who objected chiefly
to the proposed tax of 3-4ths
of a cent per barrel to fl
nance the activities of
greatly enlarged oil commits
sion.
''It Is not my intention to poke
anything down the threats of mem
bers of the oil industry" said Sena-
tor DrumheIler. 81 presented the
bill in good faith, believing that it
was desired by the industry. 1t
followed conversations and confer
ences last fall in which operators
expressed a desire for a measure of
this kind. Some of the people
whom / thought wanted such a bill
have announced that they have
changed their minds and while there
are many strong supporters for it,,
I think it is foolish to stir up a
CONTROVERSY in the industry. We
have trouble enough without Great
ing more trouble. I have nothing
20 gain by such a measure, so there
is no reason why 1t should not be
withdrawn"
Senator DrumheIller Immediately
gave notice of withdrawal Of the
measure and vacated hearing for
merly set for Monday next.
Meantime, operators meeting in
Great Falls with the Petroleum In
dustries committee voted in favor
of a plan TO amend the present oil
board measure to re-
duce the tax from 3-8ths of a cent
per barrel to one-fourth cent per
barrel, inasmuch as the revenue is
more than sufficient to carry on
the functions of the board.
The Falls meeting also voted to
ask the legislature to change the
method of paying the tax from
to quarterly and also to
30 word the law that royalty owners
will have to bear their just share
Of this tax, likewise, paying one
fourth cent per barrel on their
oil. Under the old present law
the tax was directed only at the
operator.
