“AND SAY TOW Editor, Tribune; , M The. charge ‘hag . repeatedly been made that Attorney General William Langer: “threw” case to. the detriment of the state of! North Dakota. This charge is abso- lutely, false, and is known to be false by William,Lemke and George K. Fos- ter, and other “Nonpartisan Leaguers for Revenue only” who were involved in that case. No, litigation in North Dakota was ever fought harder on behalf of the{ defendants. (the state) than was this cage. The issuance of a temporary in- junction was ‘ successfully resisted which ordinarily would have issued without question, and the tying up of the tax was prevented and the) Standard Oil Company was forced to; compromise and pay into the state! treasury more than $300,000.00.

NLEY MAN FAILED Fourth district. _He failed. after spe- citic assignment by Attorney Géneral Langer. to appear and resist a motion the Standarrd Oil} made before Judge Charles F. Ami- don, at Fargo, on October 17th, 1919. Otherwise every move on the part of. the attorneys for the Standard Oil company was met and successfully re- sisted even in that instance, through the courtesy of the opposing attor- neys and thte fairness of Judge Ami- don, continuance was had until the case could be properly presented, up- on motion of Assistant Attorney Gen- eral Albert E. Sheets, Jr., who hap- pened to be in Fargo upon other le- gal matters. George K. Foster. who’ failed his chief in this matter, was the first man appointed assistant attorney general by Langer upon accession to office. Langer felt under deep personal obli- gation to him, since the relation of teacher and pupil had previonsly ex- isted between them. So great is his feeling of gratitude to Foster for guidance and instruction that all these months he has remained silent and taken the “gaff” in this Standard Oil matter to protect Foster. We are un- der no such obligation to Foster and in all fairness’ feel that the truth ought to be told. Directions Not Followed. F. E. Packard argued the Standard Oil case at St. Paul upon the appli- cation for the injunction. When the application was made for :modifica- tion of the St. Paul order, other legal matters were absorbing ‘Mr, Pack- ard’s attention. and upon. his request, on September 26, 1919, Attorney Gen- fice and directed him to take charge of the case, and also wrote him to this effect. a A few days later he again reminded | fice. by the special session. He was Foster that a motion would be made October 7 for modification of the St. at Fargo. On two or three different, occasions afterwards Mr. Packard re- was thoroughly understood ‘that he would be present to resist it. It was not until 9:30 on the morning of. Octo- ber 7, thirty minutes before court was to convene at Fargo, that it was -dis- covered that Mr. Foster was in his of- fice and had not gone to Fargo.

One can’t im- agine the legal department of either Great Britain or France allowing oil lands. to slip out of the control of the government. In former times nations competed with each other to get gold. Today they compete for fuel oil. It is more valuable than gold. You may have most of the gold of the world and yet not be able to do better than have ships of commerce and war in which coal is the fuel. , And ships in which oil is the fuel can beat the-coal ships all hollow. Prices Alarm, Not long ago the Brittish govern- ment became alarmed about the prices that were being charged for gasoline here. Accordingly a governmental committee investigated the matter. Among other things it reported that motor fuel is rapjdly becoming of vi- ,;tal importance to practically every industry, not excluding agriculture, in Then it said: ;. “The concentration of control, over “I had stomach trouble for nearly | ; It is a sim- | | tthe price and disposition of motor fuel, {' iin,the hands of two enormously power- ful capitalistic combines, practically :world-wide in their scope, constitutes so dangerous a power, if it happens. to be improperly used, that it,is impera- itive that the -governments of the world should give some attention to it” A member of the United States Ship- ping board in Washington once showed me a map displaying all the places in the world were ships touch for commerce and, more important, for coal. The bulk of these coaling sta- tions were under British. ownership or control. a “That,” he said, “is why Britain is supreme in the world’s copimerce.” : Getting. It. But now oil is coming is as the ship fuel par excellence. For instance, the great Cunard line has just finished the second of 20 great new ocean liners which. are to be oil. burners. And both at Glasgow and Liverpool.I re- cently saw other liners being con- verted into oil burners. The same is true of the newer ships of war. And do you know what these wide- awake British are doing? They have just formed a company which designs to have oil fuel stations all over the world, where ships touch. More than that: while America is allowing private concerns to exploit her oil resources and ship the mater- ial all over the world, thus in some in- stances depriving the navy of its: re- serves, -wide-awake .Britain is search- ing the world for new oil fields that | it can bring under the British flag.

The two paving jobs will be included in the Present paving contract with the Hag- gart Construction company. The commission took under consid- eration a resolution for the paving of two blocks on Main street, from Washington avenue to Broadway. Def- |inite action will not be taken until Steinmetz, living on Second street, be-; | plans are approved for the new paved road to the new bridge. Act on Fire Question. Representatgves. of Mrs. Henry! tween Main and Broadway, appeared before the commission, stating that the fire chicf had ordered work dis- continued on repairs on a frame house which had been damaged by fire. The commission decided that the house had not been damaged enough to come un der the prohibitory section of the city ordinances. A leak in a water main was report- ed opposite 520 Highth street and the city, anditor was directed to see that prompt repairs were made by the wa- ter company. . Money on Fines. The report of Police Magistrate E. H. Howell was received and approved with satisfaction by the commission, as the report showed that $200.70 were received in fines and costs during the months of April and May and the fees amounted to but $75.55, leaving the! city a balance of $125.15.
