BULLETIN NO. 50 (Continued from Pase One) Our next question arises:— Why should the price of gasoline be higher in Montana than else where? This last question will remain unanswered until the people of Mon tana realise that we must patronize home industry;—that we moat con sume our owm products, and this in cludes crude oil produced in Men tana.The answer to the last ques tion will -be made only when we as a consuming people otf Montana de mand and consume our own pro ducts to such an extent that it will require a greater volume of crude producta to supply a greater volume of processed crude oil, and to supply such « demand will increase the re fining capacity of our refineries and other plants, all of which will lead to greater volume of production of our own crude oil. Briefly, the greater the output and consumption, the less overhead expense in production. The result is, a lower price to be paid for gasoline. Other economic features may have a bearing on the price structure such as distance, freight rates, wages.—but it is a fair and logical conclusion to make that the sooner the people of Montana get to using all otf their gasoline made from Montana crude oil the sooner we will separate ourselves from the present "Tulsa Plus" price struc ture. Let us revert to our original idea mentioned in the first few para graphs. t> VALUE OF RESOURCES i We have an abundant supply ot crude oil within our borders. It Is absolutely worthless to our every day economic activities unless It is placed on the market. Let us create that market by patronizing the producers, the refiners, the dealer—in our own commodity. By so doing will keep thousands of men, our own workers, employed The taxes derived from our petrol eum and products processed ~ there from will maintain our schools and colleges to & great extent, and will also aid in the support of other of our State Institutions. Why buy gasoline shipped in from other States when our own Montana product ia Just as good or better? The old slogan, "Patronize Home In dustry, most people think. has greater merit than If Montana is a good place to live in. if our schools and churches ore on par with thooe of other States; if our ' farm and garden products are good for consumption; and If we are de veloplng better conditions here for ourselves and our families to In, then why not buy and use our own crude oil and gasoline derived therefrom ! Sui rising,—we find the fol lowing situation;— Demand gasoline made from Mon tana crude oil ; Create a market for this gaso line by using it exclusively; And keep in mind that we of the present generation in Montana are la doty bound to develop its na tural resources and assets, and present to the coming generation a better and greater Montana.

This committee has made a thor ough study of the procedure otf the { commission and has canvassed all I mining companies which have ap plied to the SBC for registration of their securities. Each mining registrant was sent a questionable asking for information concerning the forms used, the expenses ln volved in registering, and other facts as to his experience. In view of the widespread criticism of the elaborate information forms and the delays and expense in registering mining securities, and the great difficulties encountered in financing new operations and developments, the program, committee felt that ample time should be given the delegates to discuss fully the re commendations made by the Ameri can Congress committee and to de jvelop further suggestions looking to ward amendment of the registration procedure. Included on this session's pro O^ram. in addition to the committee's report, will be a presentation otf the viewpoint of the Securities and Ex change Commission.
