Carter Oil Says Commissions
Gasoline Report Is Misleading

In a telegram received recent.
ly from j. NJ. Sprague OF Billings,
Vice.President of the Carter Oil
Company, he sums UP the pre-.
liminary report of the Montana
Trade Commission relative to its
inquiry into the price of Case.
line, as "Misleading".
1.-THE reports statement that
lack of competition causes high
gasoline prices in Montana shows
an absence of knowledge of Pc
trOleum marketing and the basic
principles of economics, or a
complete disregard of such know.
ledge" Sprague said.
"Proof of competition in Mon.
tana in sale of gasoline was
made very clearly in testimony
before the Commission at a hear.
ing IN Helena last May" he con.
tinues. Extensive data based
on public. federal and state sta.
tistics. disclosed very clearly to
the Commission that the cost of
refining. distribution and mar.
kcting of gasoline in Montana is
substantially higher than the av.
eragc cost throughout the U. S."
II was further shown. he points
out. that a greater state tax and
larger dealer margins account
for nearly one half of the higher
Montana gasoline prices. Testi.
mOny under oaths pointed out
that the remaining increased
costs are due to higher expenses
Of manufacturing. transporting
and selling"
In connection with the Com.
missions mention of Carter's
$50. SOC. 900 net investment III
Montana refining and marketing
facilities. Sprague claims that
the company's average refining
marketing profits from 1851
through 1855 were less than six
per cent before income taxes.
IN 1855 our refining market.
ing earnings were less than two
per cent. and il VIC had reduced
the price of gasoline one half
cent a gallon. We would have
made no return on our $50. 5OO..
900 investment in Montana.
Spraguc comments.
Spraguc observed that the
company Is not making a big
profit on It's refining and market.
ing operation in the state. and
added that the company has not
violated the laws of Montana.
but has c0ncientiously complied
with them.

Interior Department Rescinds Order
Calling For Tribal Amendment Election

CONSTITUTION 10 provide mat
members of the Tribal Business
Council may be recalled from Of
flee by an election called purSu-
ant to petition signed by at
least 10 per cent of the clcgiblc
voters of the tribe. IN discus
siOns held with the tribal attor.
ncy, in which representatives of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs
participated, the attorney pointed
out that some limitation should
be specified in the proposed Sec
ton 3 to regulate the number of
recall elections which may be
held within any one calendar
year. and to regulate the number
of recall elections to which AN
elected councilman may be sub
jcctcd during his term of office.
1t was mutually agreed that some
regulatory feature is desirable
in this proposed provision
The second petition amend
ment" concerned an amendment
TO Article TX fcrend u M
which proposed to reserve the
tribal members to the right to
propose by petition signed by
al least 10 per cent of the tribal
membership any measure, 0rdi-
nance. or resolution. AS in the
case of the recall elections. it
was agreed that the 10 per cent
figure in this proposed provision
should be increased.
The tribal attorney was also
concerned that the amendments
as presented on the ballot form
were too complex for the tribal
voters and that certain changes
being proposed should he voted
upon as separate measures.
In order to provide ample time
for rcstudy of the proposed
amendments presented with the
election order of July ID. 1856,
l am hereby withdrawing that
order and an election on newly
proposed amendments to the
Blackfeet Tribal Constitution
and Bylaws and the Corporate
Charter will be issued after the
study is completed. In the mean.
time invite the Blackfect Tribal
Business Council in consultation
with the tribal attorney. as we'll
as individual members of the
tribe. to suggest whatever i'm.
provcments they believe are de.
sirable in the proposed amend.
mcnts discussed in the election
order of July ID. and to offer any
additional amendments they be.
lieve should be presented to the
tribal voters for consideration.
Any suggested improvements or
any new additional amendments
should. of course. be submitted
in accordance with Article Y of
the Tribal Constitution. which
prescribes the procedure for
amending the Tribal Constitution
and Bylaws. The Tribal Business
Council and the individual mem.

This is in reference to the De.

AS you know. in addition to the
amendments which were pro.

Business Council. this Depart
ment offered two additional
amendments which had been pro.
posed in 1855 by petition Of one.
third Of the tribal members and
which were voted upon in an
election held on August I. 1855
You will recall that while the
votes cast in the 1855 election
were overwhelmingly in favor of
the amendments. they could not
be considered as having been
adopted because. based on a So.
licitor's Opinion CAl.36l4D rend.

bcrs Of the tribe were not per.
mittcd to vote by absentee ballot
in the election. This ruling re.
suited in the failure to obtain
participation in the election of
80 per cent of the tribal voters
which is required to cffcctuate
amendments to the constitution
The Solicitor has modified the
Opinion of 1852 and has ruled
that since absentee balloting was
permitted in the election for the
adoption or rejection of the orr.
ginal constitution and bylaws.
absentee balloting should like.
wise be observed in elections to
amend the original document.
In view Of this modification. 1t
was felt that the tribal members
should again have an opportunity
TO vote on the amendments pro.
posed by petition: therefore.
those amendments were submit.

amendments proposed by the
