a hundred, winch would give Il
from Cut Bank to Spokane.
In attendance at the hearing as
witness was II. d. Moyle, vice
president and director of the Idaho
Refining Co, and also an official
of the Inland Refining company OF
Spokane. together with Woods Cross
of the same organization. Repre-
senting the compliments was Hal
Prickett. traffic counsel of Salt
Lake City.
Moyle and other witnesses testi-
fled that Idaho Refining Co. was
built with the expectation of oper-
ating on Cut Bank crude but that
rail rates established on crude gave
Lance Greek crude a six-cent adYan-
tage per hundredweight. The rail
distance from Cut Bank to Pocatello
is approximately the same as the
distance from Lance Creek to Poca-
tello. AS a result, Moyle testified,
the company is buying its major
crude requirements from Lance
Greek and has recently been taking
only 600 barrels per day from Cut
Bank. The Idaho plant uses from
1900 to 1000 barrels per day in
capacity operation.
Cut Bank producers appearing in
cluded Lon Crumley. Hugo Aronson,
K. d. Pardee, c. P. Castle, A.
wilkinson and DR.. Peter Potter.
They testified that they have been
through the loss of the |
market which they developed by (
accepting a very low initial price I
for their crude, thus contributing /
to the building of the plant and the /
of a permanent mar
ket for themselves. They asked
that the rates from Cut Bank to
Pocatello be placed on basis com
cent rate from Cut Bank to Spo-
kane, which was recently cut from
&c cents. The Pocatello cut from
81 cents to % cents would give a
rate.
Since a barrel OF oil weighs
BIOS pounds. the difference in the
Spokane and Pocatello rates
amounts to 40 cents per barrel.
A. G. Bruce. chief of transporta-
ton for the Idaho Utilities COM
appeared as an intervenor
in behalf of the plaintiffs, repre-
senting the Idaho Grange, with a
of 1900. The grange
desires lower rates on all petroleum
products from Montana TO Idaho to
costs of power farming

fence shows that in any service where
there are no means OF retiring super
animated or disabled employees, the
tendency is to keep the old employees
on in service even though they cam
not earn their full salaries, rather
than turn them away without means
of support. No organization likes TO
face the unfavorable public opinion
that follows the dismissal OF an ola
employe or an old teacher alter
,:ars of service, simply because his
usefulness has declined. On the
other hand, when superannuated or
physically incapacitated employees are
carried on the active payroll, hid
den pension roll of unearned salaries
gradually develops so that the cost
of retirement system is not saved
by not operating a system. Also.
when there is no retirement plan, the
avenues of promotion are cloggeo ana
it becomes difficult to hold ambitious
employees in the service.
Present state employees could elect
within six months whether or not
they would participate in the propCs-
ed plan, but all new employees would
come under it automatically. Off
Gals in offices established by the
state constitution would be eNclud-
ed. Any person leaving state en-
ploy before becoming eligible for any
benefits would be refunded all con-
tributions made personally, plus in

Wouazug Of Thomas A. Banks
Said To Indicate Little
Patronage For Wake County

There is really much significance
in The Banks appointment. and not
the least Of ii is the fact that only
Il few choice plums will be dropped
in Broughton's home county.
Banks appointment was not eX
actly hailed on Capitol Hill, where
he is we'll known but where also he
has never found time 10 play up 10
the inner circle Of previous admins
tratiorS
In the Broughton inner circle
however. the choice Of Tommy IS
being called real 'natural'.
Banks is probably closer to the
tGovernor-el than anyone else and
! il is extremely doubtful if Brougn-
ton is closer to any man than he IS
/ TO Tommy.
| Years ago. 50 the story is told by
| Broughton intimaleS. the new sec
rotary attracted the goyernor-e!ects
attention when Doth We're identified
with Wakes schools. Having been
to Harvard, Broughton touted the
Cambridge college II Banks. Tommy
went.
First political hookup Of Brought
tOl and Banks came in 1894. When
the rcvercd Congressman Edward
Nv. Pou died. Broughton directed tn:
successful campaign Of Harold D.
Cooley and brought into it a Wake
county triumvrate which had there
tofore been politically unknown in
the district. II was composed Of
Banks. Phil Whitley, now Wake
county chairman. and VIII Fl. Var
borough, Jr.. who surprised the old
timers of Raleigh by carrying on
this past year as Broughton's mama
ger in Wake.
Young Marlborough, who has been
the Broughton law associate, is no"
going to carry on the Broughton
practice with Colonel William I
Joyner, who is general counsel ir
North Carolina for the Southern
Railway.
1t is pretty freely predicted, never
theless, that the Marlborough activi-
ties will not be restricted to the law
and he is looked on as likely to play
an important back-stage role in the
Broughton sctup-especially in view
OF the fact that the Broughton-
Banks Whitley-Yarborough group is

Nv HENRY ANERILI.

Raleigh, Dec. AT first pluSh II
NAV not seem logical. but fact Is
that appointment Of Wake county
man to a nice political JOB by Gov
ernor-elect ]. Melville Broughton IS
the first definite sign that wake
rarely fright" in primary contests
is not to have ring side seat dur
ing the four years its native son oc-
cupies the executive mansion.
The naming Of Thomas A. Banks
as the incoming governors private
secretary means that Wake, when
Broughton sometimes facetiouSly call
ed an amateurish shire in stream
lined politics, is likely TO be only a
minor subdivision in the Nortn
Carolina political world during the
next four years.
This. of course, doesn't mean thai
Wake will forego the right to p!d
for the front pages or that Raleigh
the capital city, will not continue TO
get some umsavory publicity in con-
.nection with administration CT lis
government.

THAT sAWMILL STRIKE

Editor, The Times: Is there
something sinister behind these
continued sswmill strikes? Why
WAS such short ultimatum
given the Tacoma operators be-
fore a strike was pulled? Why
weren't the men permitted to
return to work with a temporary
increase with further negotia-
lions for a final settlement?
Why did the local leaders force
the local men on strike. with
implied threats of retaliation. to
leave their homes at midnight
Monday night and join caravan
to Everett 10 force 1870 men
mt of work there by mass picket
lines
Why did the local leaders hull
doze the local union at Snoqual-
mic Falls into a strike after they
had accepted an increase offered
by the company?
What connection, If any, is
there to the crying need for
lumber for environments and de-
tense projects, and this deter
mined effort on the part of
certain local leaders to tie up
the entire lumber industry with
strikes?
