oil was forced to find another mar
Ike.
Spokane is the largest city in
close proximity to these fields and
therefore is the logical refining and
distributing center for this produc-
tion. This great, assured supply OF
oil obviously is not only sufficient
to supply the two refineries now
building in Spokane, but is ample
to justify a pipeline from the fields
to Spokane; which would mean
more and larger refineries and
would make Of Spokane a great
refinery center.
Big Firms Involved

LOOKING THE FUTURE
SQUARELY IN THE FACE

we could make a fortune" is a
common excuse for delay among in
vestors. They know that they should
BUY when prices are low and SELL
when prices are high. but they do not
trust their own judgment as to the
time element.
There are many more who do not
consider the time element. The only
time they buy is when prices are soaring
and others are taking a profit Looking
around them they recognize that their
neighbors are making a lot Of money.
Immediately they decide to plunge in
and do likewise They have yet to
learn that the money is made as a re-
suit of investments made BEFORE the
prices scared
1t takes a brave investor to go into
an idle market and pick 10 stocks,
leases or royalties. But it is a fact
that the fortunes are made by those who
invest WHEN THEY HAVE THE MAR
KET TO THEMSELVES One year ago
the market outlook in the oil fields of
northern Montana did not look very
promising 1t took a lot of nerve to
step in and buy royalties with no i'm
mediate prospect of drilling and a limit
ed market for present production. Today
we find that conditions have not greatly
changed, but the outlook has been en-
tirely revolutionized.
Whereas Montana oil producers had
lost their market at this time last year,
they are today wondering how they are
going to care for all the market Certain
it is that there must be some additional
drilling to meet the demand If the re-
fineries now seemingly assured are in
operation next year.
Present refinery demand is around
$4,000 barrels per day. The june
sales averaged IA $50 barrels This
compares with maximum runs of
around $4,000 barrels per day i'm
the state.
We look back TO 1895 as the
peak" year since the development
of Cut Bank oil field. During that
year the total average daily nAarket
was 1890 barrels per day. That
included 5000 barrels per day en-
ported TO Canada, averaging for
the entire year.

ducers were facing the necessity of
creating their own markets.
In May of this year the average
daily runs were 1S,6S0 barrels.
Then came the construction of some
topping plants at Shelby, OiImOnt,
Havre and KalispeH and increased
runs I'm Montana refineries as the
demand for Montana gasoline grew,
and by June we find a daily market
for 1880 barrels per day.
Contrast the June market with the
average Of 1900 barrels per day
in 1885 and we see a difference of
only 1000 barrels per day. IL is
true that the POTENTIAL of Mon
tana oil fields is greatly in excess of
the 1885 sales. Experts say that
Montana oil fields have a potential
of 10000 barrels per day, against an
average market this year of around
$4,000 barrels per day. That gives
an excess of only 5000 barrels a day

In addition, Montana refineries are
stepping up their capacity. The Cut
Bank refinery belonging TO Kenneth
Davis and r. C. Tarrant is adding a

understood that one of the largest re-

MUsSoLINI. THE WAR ADVOCATE

Premier Mussolini last week took the
world into his confidence and boosted that
Italy possessed the worlds largest sub
marine fleet, that the nations air force was
among the best and that 100000 men
wait to march under his command.
OF course, II Duce was full of peace:
he wanted to assure general peace" and
above all "our peace" He advised that
the best defense is offense" and that
which has always counted and still counts
among peoples is their war-making
ability"
Significantly, Mussolini advised the
Italian people to organize their existence
in small towns and villages, warning them
that once mobilization began there would
be no facilities for mass movements of
populations to avoid the horrors Of civilian
bombardments
American citizens. who read such
statements. find il hard TO believe that
the responsible head of large nation be-
lieves it necessary to make such deelara-
tons. Some of them blandly pass it up
with the thought that MuSSolini is talking
for home consumption and to boost Italian
morale A few are convinced that Mus
solri intends TO use his submarines. his
:ir force and his army i'm an effort to carve
!; F.aee in the sun for italy and a place in
history for himself along with the Caesars.

A DUTY AND A PRIVILEGE

One of the fundamental and con-
stitutional rights in this country is the
right of franchise. We can go to the polls
and vote for the men we feel are best fit
ted to run our local, state and national af-
fairs. In several European countries the
right to vote as a man sees fit is almost i'm
possible The citizens of those countries
mttstvote the way their leaders, the dicta-
tors, Indicate: They have the right of
frahchisee,qin theory only, with the result
that democracy, as we know it. has, been
killed. ... .nli,i j, d57l 81 ~ q - ''
The right to vote carries With it a
plain duty. Every man and every woman
should vote. Since that right is price
less privilege denied the citizens of many
countries it should be protected against the
onslaughts of power-hungry individuals.
We do not want a dictatorship in the
United States. The best way to prevent
that kind of government is to give express
sion to our views at the polls
There is only ore way that you may
vote-by registering your intention to vote.
The Monroe county registration books are
open. 1t is the duty, Of every citizen of
the county to register This is generally
regarded as an eff year and some do not
bother to register and vote in such years.
That is mistake. 1t is important to have
honest, courageous and patriotic public
servants handling our local problems, sit
ting in the state house of representatives
the state senate and in the halls of Con-
gress There is only one way to put such
men in office-by voting for them
The Citizen has little sympathy for
the taxpayer who yells to the high heavens
when a dishonest man is elected to office
and we find he did not take the trouble
to register and vote. If honest citizens do
not vote, dishonest public officials slip in
to office. Now is the time to act.

A FRANK STATEMENT

At the beginning of every political
campaign multitude of candidates throw
their hats in the ring with the time-worn
wheeze to the effect that they do so lat
the urgent request of host of friends" or
words to that effect.
A refreshing reception to such tactics
is seen in the statement of Jim DAILY of
Walker county, Alabama, as reported by
the Jasper Mountain Eagle, which says:
Jim DAILY explains why he didn't en-
ter the race for sheriff this year. Several
candidates, Jim says, lay the blame on
their friends for getting them into the
races, they entered the races at the solicit
tation of their friends. jim says he asked
his friends about running for sheriff and
they advised him not to run.
Jim says he appreciates the advice
of his friends He will not realize his
ambition to serve the people of Walker as
their sheriff, but, he says, if store is rob-
bed, house burned or member of some
ones family is murdered they will send
for Jim Daily as usual
Jim says all he regrets is that he has
spent so much time kissing babies, think
ing he was going forum
