MILLER TAKES ISSUE WITH GOVERNOR ON GAS PRICES CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 26.—Leslie A Miller, secretary of the Kinney Ol! company, sharply takes issue with Governor Carey regarding the impend- ing entry—anounced by the governor —of the Continental Oil company into the gasoline filling station business in the principal towns of Wyoming. “— was amazed,” said Miller, ‘‘to learn that no less a person than the governor of the state was interesting himself in the business of inducing a large foreign\corporation to enter the retail business in Wyoming in such a way as will take=frca\ the state probably hundreds of theusance ot! dollars every year. I refer to the work of the governor in inducing the Con-| tinental Ol company to establish«fill ing stations tn the principal cities of ‘Wyoming. S “It appears that the governor be came concerned over the price Wyo: ming people were having to pay for gasoline and took-the matter up with the officials of the Cont’ne:,tal Oil company. ‘This company, nor had investigated within the state a@ ttle he would have found many iustances where the business of re- tailing gasoline at a margin of four and five cents show net losses on the books. The Oil News of Cleveland, O., is authority for a statement that a re- cent survey of a-number of filling stations in Oklahoma resulted in a finding that the average cost of oper- ation was 4 1-3 cents per gallon. If such is the case in Oklahoma, where corapetition between selling agencies is the keenest kind, then why, without due investigation, should it be made to appear by the governor and the Conti- nental Of] company that Wyoming re- tailers are rank profiteers? “As I have outlined, the entry of the Continental in to the retail busi- ness in many of the cities of Wyoming will not et Seatoe extent Ay lars line to app) lo ent 1 policy of retailing at a margin of 2 conts above the tank wagon price, and in some places, like Cheyenne, Casper ard Sheridan the consumers will be beurytiet not one red dime. True, hawever, the Continental erects at- tractive’ filling stations, they sell a un- iform grade of gasoline and their em- ployes are prompt and courteous, for which reasons it is only fair to assume they will attras good share of the retail trade. The main point for Wyo ming people and officials to cpnsider, then, is that all the profits of the Con- ered irregular ‘Tobacco and Granby Consolidated were the only prominent atocks to show re- actionary tendencies, Silver.
