Ammunition for a broadside

has been provided Senator B. K
Wheeler in a letter written by
James w. Johnson, chairman of the
board of Montana Oil & Gas Produc-

of facts pointing to the justice and
necessity of an increase in the price
of crude. This information was fur

CARELESS of parity level
Since October /, 1914, it is a well
recognized fact that all operating
costs in connection with the produc-
ton, refining and marketing of
petroleum have risen as much as
40so throughout the industry. In adj
dition, individual and corporation
local, state and federal taxes have
been increased from 500 IN the case
of individuals TO as high as 1900 in
the case of excess profits taxes on
corporations with normal increase
on corporations amounting to 500.
It can be very simply stated that
either oil prices were much too high
as of October l, 1871, in relationship
to other commodities and produc-
ton and operating costs or else
these same prices are ''pegged"
much too low now in the same rela-
