WHY IMPORT GASOLINE?
Harry G. Let's

11ol1 ~. ASesS
Since the start of this campaign
to Buy Gasoline Made in Montana
of Montana Crude has been under
way. several taxpayers have asked
the writer where he obtains his
information. The answer is simple.
The information is obtained from
public sources, where any person
interested may do the same, l.e.,
The Montana Oil Journal, The
Petroleum Engineer The Petrol
cum Association Monthly, bullet
ms issued by the Shelby Lions
Club Committee on Buy Gasoline
Made from Montana Crude; the
reports of the Oil Conservation
Board. the Board of Equalization,
and the U. S. Bureau of Mines,
etc.
We shall endeavor to show you
Just how the oil industry effects
YOU and yours other than your
p~ocketbook.
In 1885 the biggest source of in
come for the state of Montana
was the spring wheat crop, which
amounted to SIC, 000, 100000 and
during the same year, Montanans
spent inround numbers, S13,000,-
10000 for gasoline made from
crude oil produced in other states,
depriving the state of Montana,
not only of payroll. property and
production taxes, but indirectly
helped to increase your taxes. To
give you an idea, you will find
listed below the amount of taxes
the oil industry paid to the state
of Montana for the year ending
June 80, 1887.
For the state Gov
eminent ........... S lS,7o5.Oo
For the Greater
University .......... 47,Oo4.OO
For the Counties . -. 2~65,125.OO
For Schools ...... 80. 25,92O.OO
TOTAL .......... 1888 ,916.OO
You will notice items 8 and 4
and you will see just how this
great industry becomes a part OF
you and your home, assisting you
to give to your child and every
child in the state of Montana, an
education.
In addition to the above am
cunt, we find a report of the
Montana Taxpayers association,
that the state of Montana has COL
lected in rentals and royalties on
the state leases up to June 80,
1887, the sum of S 2 1852 ,642.32 This
we understand goes entirely to
the support of the Montana school
systems. MI. Benton. secretary of
that association, points out that,
this money invested in permanent
securities at the rate of 4 per
cent per annum, adds approx
mately 500, 100000 additional in
come for the support of our school
systems.
Now stop and think what this
means to every taxpayer in the
state of Montana to have our oil
wells shut in for the lack of a
market-thus depriying the state
of Montana of this tremendous
tax income. When we consider the
fact that about one-half of the
gasoline used by the people Of our
state is imported from Wyoming,
California and Oklahoma. while
1000 barrels of daily production
in our own fields are shut in for
the lack of a market, is it any
wonder that we keep urging all
Montana to Buy Gasoline Made
from Montana Crude" AS we
have stated and again state
people of Montana are aiding in
the reduction of their own tax

TO CLEAN UP" ROADS

Montana highway patrolmen
have inaugurated their annual
spring cleanup o highways of the
state, Lou B%oedecker, patrol sup
erviSor warns.
The cleaning has nothing to do
with soap and brooms, but patrol
men will clean up on luckless mo-
florists without new licenses. with
improper head and tail lights and
other violations. The idea of spring
cleaning on the highways is to
cut down accident toll, Boedecker
explains.

Administration leaders on Cap
itol Hill frankly admitted they
were flabbergasted by the last
minute deluge of Geographic and
mailed protests against passage of
the Reorganization Bill to give
the President vast powers to re-
organize the executive branch of
the government. They admit that
if the protests had started a mat
ter of hours sooner the bill would
never have passed the Senate and
will have slim chances in the
House if the country now goes to
work in earnest against the bill
in that chamber.

RAMBLING FACTS
o AGRICULTURE
BY Montana Extension Service

For dairymen who plan to start
irrigated pastures this year, the
following mixture has given good
results in many parts of Montana,
says ]. o. T%retsven, extension dairy
specialist at Montana State college.
The mixture contains the follow
ing grasses and %clovers: Bronze
grass, 3 to 4 pounds per acre; Ken
lucky blue grass, 4 to 6 pounds;
orchard grass,4 to 6 pounds; mea-
dow fescue, 3 to 4 pounds; white
clover, l to 2 pounds, and alsike
clover, l to 2 pounds. This makes
a total of from 16 to "a pounds of
seed per acre More detailed in
formation about irrigated pastures
may be obtained from county *
tension agents, Tretsven added.
1t is not always necessary to
buy new machines for carrying out
soil conservation practices. Many
ordinary farm machines may be
adjusted or remodeled to do eff
fective work of this kind.
That experimental work carried
on with livestock at the Montana
Agricultural Experiment station
at Bozeman is attracting attention
outside the United States, is re-
vealed in a request received from
Corporation Argentine de Product
ores de Carnes (Argentine Meat
Producers corporation) for two re-
ports from the Montana station
covering investigations with live
stock and dairy cattle, according
to Clyde Mckee, experiment sta
ton director.

A faint ray of sunshine shone
momentarily through the darH
haze of National debt in washing
ton when word went out from the
Treasury that MI. and Mrs. John
Citizen had surprised Uncle sam
with more income tax money than
had been anticipated; that collec-
tons we're running Is per cent
ahead of last year and that at
last borrowing might be ended and
the federal deficit halted in its
rapid climb.
But. 10, it was all a mistake so
now the Treasury is out to Dor
row other millions to meet eNpen-
ses.
The mistake is blamed on an
old Treasury custom-kicking and
prodding mail bags TO estimate
the Nations revenues. Officials
explained the 10 per cent increase
was estimated after collectors had
counted and prodded the unop-
ened mail bags containing tax re-
turns. But after a more careful
accounting, the Treasury ruefully
announced the increase was only
81 per cent.
There will be no more kicking
of mail bags, says the Treasury.
No mention was made of the poor

way of inventions, medicine. sur
gerry, transportation and so on, and
at the same time lived in an age
which meant much to future genera
tions, of which you and I are part.
Clearing the fields, building homes,

On, but above all, building nation,
one of which people of other lands
look to with honor, one which you
and / may justly feel proud to be a
part. AS we have met on this oc-
casion in Homecoming, we are not
only meeting and greeting friends,
but we are honoring the men ana
women who sacrificed. organized and
carried on the Pleasant Grove
church. Methinks many folks nave
the idea churches and schools grew
like trees, never thinking OF the
sacrifice made by our foreparents.
AS we write we do not have the
church register. We wonder II the
records made by the pioneers OF thls
church have been preserved. AS we
have searched for history, we nave
found the records of many Of these
churches have not been kept. IN
MANY cases those who builded We're
not seeking honor of men-and did
not write of their deeds. In some
cases the records were written, ana
lost, or destroyed by careless OIL /
cials. While we want to see the rec
ords, if possible, at this time we are
glad we do not have them. In our
limited capacity as a writer we
would much rather write cur feeble
thoughts, than copy someone else's
writing. AS we look back through
the years that we have known of
these who have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb, we think of the Sing
rees. Tennents, Sammons, Rileys,
Barnes, Porters, Smiths, F'rys, ana
that brings us to the part our fam

land for the church and cemetery.
Samuel and Jane Fry owned the
land now owned by Chas. Spratt. l..
r. Barnes informs US his grandfath-
er. Abram Barnes, gave some more
land. after he purchased the farm.
To write or speak on an occasion OF
this kind is hard for the fact we
know our time must be limited, and
material is like the wide oren spaces.
We are glad we can look back ana
see our forefathers as grand, good
folk. We are equally glad we can
see you, my friends, as grand good
folks. We have won reputation as
Meigs correspondent, of which some
times we are not sure whether 10
laugh or cry, and it is all because we
are different. It isn't hard for me
to be queer So here goes: Ii the
old fashioned Jesus Christ religion
is carried to future generations-it
will be through the little old church
es in the country. May Pleasant
Grove be spared to house the men
and women of God as they tell the
old, old, story.
