Prices Are
Low
Tlowan
HE fact that gasoline prices are
constitutes the achievement
•of ideal on the part of the
Standard Oil Company. There
several contributing factors.
The ingenuity of the automobile en-,
gineers in producing cars at moderate
prices and the efficiency of the
Standard Oil Company in producing
gasoline in sufficient quantities to
supply the demand have placed both
in the light of staples.
The demand for gasoline is steady—the supply
is steady thus enabling the Company to
utilize its equipment to a maximum capacity
which in turn keeps down the costs and there
fore selling prices.
The Standard Oil Company through long
years of experience is able to rescue and utilize
all of those fractions which go to make gaso
line, and to utilize all by-products for com
modities of universal use.
This plays an important part in keeping down
manufacturing costs on the basic product—
gasoline.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) further
more steadfastly adheres to a fixed policy of
supplying first, the patrons of the eleven
states it serves.
Thus at all times is there an ample supply for
every five gallon buyer and every five thousand
gallon buyer with no embarrassing demands
from outside to drain the supply and force
an increase in price.
It is by this husbandry that the Company is
able to keep down the price of gasoline that
you may run your car for the enjoyment of
your family or the furtherance of your busi-~
ness without great expense for fuel.
You may not know that gasoline sells in this
market for about one-half or one-third the
price charged in Europe even under normal
pre-war conditions.

(Continued from page 5)
amendments here assailed, all hav
ing for their object the correction
of the existing system of mar
keting the state's products. Year by
year the conviction has deepened, in
steadily increasing majorities, that
public ownership of terminal eleva
tors, mills and packing houses is the
only effective remedy to correct the
evils from which they believe them
selves to be suffering. Their decision
is not a popular whim but a deliberate
conviction arrived at as a result of
full discussion and repeated presenta
tions of the subject at the polls. The
acts which the court is asked to re
strain are not those of public officials,
who are pursuing enterprises of their
own devising. Those acts express not
simply the judgment of the state leg
islature. To authorize their enact
ment the people of the state have re
drawn their constitution. That is the
highest and most deliberate act of
a free people. These constitutional
amendments authorize and direct the
state to do what the defendants are
threatening to do. Their acts are
simply the carrying out of the man
date of those constitutional amend
ments.
MUST COMBINE OR FIGHT
COMBINATIONS ALONE
"It is hopeless to expect a pop
ulation consisting of farmers
scattered over a vast territory, as
the people of this state are, to cre
ate any private business system
that will change the system now
existing. The only means through
which the people of the state have
had any experience in joint action
is their state government. If they
may not use that as the common
agency through which to combine
their capital and carry on such
basic industries as elevators, mills
and packing houses and so fit
their products for market and
market the same they must con
tinue to deal as individuals with
the vast combinations of those
terminal cities and suffer the in
justices that always exist where
economic units so different in
power have to deal the one with
the other.
"The foregoing is what a majority
of the people of the state have been
persuaded to believe by those whose
leadership they trust. Whether their
grievances are real or fancied, wheth
er their remedies are wise or foolish,
are subjects about which the court is
not concerned. The only object in
trying to set them forth has been to
place the constitutional amendments
and laws here assailed in their true
relationship to the life and thoughtr
of the people by whom they were
adopted.
"The sole question then for the
court is: Do these acts of the state
constitute a violation of the fourteenth
amendment of the federal Constitu
tion as that amendment has been con
strued by the supreme court I think
it is clear that they do not. Even if
I were in doubt it would be my duty to
sustain the action of the state, for it
is only when legislation is plainly and
palpably unconstitutional that a court
is justified in nullifying it.
"The motion of the defendants will,
therefore, be granted and a decree
entered dismissing the bill with costs.
"CHARLES F. AMIDON, Judged
"Dated June 14th, 1919."
You can not possibly have a broader
basis for any government than that
which includes all the people, with
all their rights in their hands and
with an equal power to maintain their
rights. WILLIAM LLOYD GAR
RISON.
