HIGH PRICE AWHSOM.TTJON has been introduced in congress to probe the increased cost of gasoline. At the same time the federal trades commission is conducting an in vestigation of the same subject. Despite the increased consumption, due to the popu larizing of the automobile, it does not keep pace with the increased production. New oil fields are constantly being discovered and opened up, the number and capacity of re fineries being amazingly increased, while the cost of pro duction by late processes has been cheapened. As a means of lowering the cost of petroleum prod ucts to the people, the prosecution of the Standard Oil trust, conducted so long and triumphantly by the govern ment under the Sherman anti-trust law, has resulted in failure. In 1J)11 the United Slates supreme court declared the Standard Oil a combination in restraint of trade. .It was ordered dissolved and was dissolved under direction of the circuit court and the attorney general. Each stock cer tificate was split into tlHrty-four stock certificates, under the same ownership. Fowv veal's ago these stock certificates had a market value of .$(7G,000,000. Their present market value is $2,025,000,000, or three times as much and gasoline is now higher than it ever was before. It is evident from this that all the evil features of conspiracy in restraint of trade have been preserved, through permitting common owner ship of stock and interlocking directorates. The monopoly exists under a new form. Through the beneficence of our government, the Stand ard Oil litis been able to secure a monopoly of a natural resource a resource that belongs to the people. Jf they are to retain it, it should be under government supervision, permitting a fair return for the investment, but prohibit ing extortion. Natural resources, like public utilities, should be regulated. WORK FOR FOLLOWING its effort to secure employment for the jobless, by making all postofficcs employment bur eaus, the department of labor has offered a new solution for the problem of the unemployed. It suggests that the government's unused laud be open to the use of the men wiinour woric. "With the limited means at its disposal, the department, through its federal employment offices, found work last year for 111, 000 workers out of 88,000 applications, but there were left 57,000 to whom no employment could be offered. To remedy (his condition, the suggestion is made that the idle government land be thrown open to the use of the unemployed, under government regulation, the land htill lo be retained by the government. The annual report of the secretary of agriculture states that approximately of the one billion acres under govern ment ownership, -100,000,000 acres of arable lands are un used. The laud tenure should bo so regulated, says the depart ment, as to insure the occupant the entire product of his labor; inflation of land values must bo prevented. For "wherever inflation of land values might enter in, the pro posed method of promoting labor distribution would be obstructed." The suggestion is a worthy one and if its adoption can bo secured will do much to alleviate the distress caused by unemployment. Tho homestead law is good, as far as ft goes, but does not meet the immediate needs of the man out of a job. The department points to the rapid concentration of land ownership and the increase of tenantry to show that the nresont methods of land disposal are radically wrong -which permit large tracts of land privately owned to remain idle. Eventually we may progress far enough to confiscate idle land by taxation or other means to provide eniplov ineiit and homes forjhc uneiuploye'd. RE SALISBURY f, LOSI ON LINER PERSIA LONDON, Jan. 5.

Tlie court finds that tho law does not require an estimato tor each hlghwny, each street and each bridge, bk clnlmed by tho plalnlirr. Ah n whole, the court finds that tli nro was a substantial compliance with tho law nnd It points out that no suggestion Is alleged to have been mndo to tho county court for a more specific estimato, "In tho matter under consideration the estimates prepared for publlca. lion Indlcato that tho county court was willing to fully comply with tho law, nnd thoro appears to be no ro fusal to adhere to nny reasonable de mand, If one had been made," says tho court.

Ho left today on his return to Snlt Lake and expressed the belief that he could complete his business there in time to return lo this city a week hence. Mr. Nibley requested .Mr. Storey to advise the farmer who had sub scribed iicrcnico for beet culture this year to do their plowing as curly an possible and get everything in shnpo for business. Nothing was said in the letter about the final location of the fnclory, but itn establishment some where in the valley is assured. "If tho fanuerH had their ground plowed now lo gel the advantage' of these little freezes," said Mr. Storey, "it would do it much good. In addi tion to that, the plowed ground will bo a better 'sponge' to hold the mois ture that may fall hereafter during the winter than the hard ground could be. "I ntltise Ihe fanner-," continued Mr. Sloiey, "Itt subsoil us much as possible, especially where a 'plow Mile' lias been created by eoiilinu oih plowing at one depth for many jeaiH.
