V THE KANSAS .LEGISLATURE having under ' con sideration bills to establish . state refineries of J: crude petroleum, of which that state' produces great quantity, ,the Standard Qil. company retaliates by reducing" the price paid for Kansas crude oil to such, a point that it can, be produced only at, a loss, and other: wise serves "warningort the lawmaker of the Sunflower state thaUhey must in no wise entet into competition at interfere with th octopus, or attempt to refine oil, or do anything whatever with or about, petroleum, "except to produce, such quantities as the octopus wishes to pur chase, at its own price, '...-''.'' 'V. XX- Kansas is a great producer of. crude oil. Its wells can produce far more - than ..the . ..Standard : Oil company chooses to take at times, at price that repay the cost of production, (or it must limit ths supply of refined oil and keep it entirely within It nwrr control, so a to be able to fix the. price of both th raw and the refined product Jo suit itself. Hence this great industry-in Kansas lan guishes. ..Owners of "oil wells, cannot sell their product elsewhere, and can sell it only to the Standard Oil trust at a loss, and the well must continue to flow. ' So the people conceived theea-of refining--what oil they use themselves. . The oil flows from their own RtPJaatL.Jt is a necessity among thenuf They have the labor to employ -partly convict labor, perhaps.

It was evidently a deliberate, calculated murder, and in its main features is almost a repetition, though less ag gravated, of another murder of a young Italian girl by saloon - keeper, Frank Guglielmo,. about seven months ago, so long now that the public has al most forgotten the crime and the murderer. He was convicted promptly enough but on trivial and nonsensical technicalities his case was carried to the supreme court where it has been held up for, months, "to the exaspera tion of all "law-respecting citizens when they think of it, and to the encouragement of similar crimes. " - . Very likely Fiorebello thought that as Guglielmo had" not been hanged he never would be, but would get clear, and that it would be safe for himself to commit a like deed, and revenge himself upon the woman who re jected him.
