On August 29, Governor McMaster, of Soum“%akom, issued the following statement:— @ ; 5

“Ata meeting with Colonel SteWax:E' Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and other Standard Oil Officials, held in Pierre this m_ormnF, Mr. Stewart exgressed un%' ifiedly the willingness of tandard Oil to compth with the wishes of the consumers of the State of South ¥ Dakota in so far as those wishes could be expressed and -‘intfeglpreted, by the’ governor of this state. These Standard officials, although they contend that the present prices do not properly reflect the costs of production, refining and distribution, plus a reasonable profit, were L willing, at my request, to do one of two things—raise the price of gsaosoline immediately in the State of South Dakota where it would represent a six and sixtenths cent reduction over former prices, or maintain, for the time being, sixteen cent gasoline in the State of South Dakota, using Mitchell as a base. =

. ‘After due consideration, the Standard 01l officials were asked by the tgovemor; to maintain the present price of 16 cents for the time being. I wish,to:acc?t full responsibility for this situation and state that Standard Oil, by deed and act, is working in fullest co-operation with the governor of this state and therefore can | In no respect be blamed for 16 cents gasoline from this date. o '

“I realize that the independents who have viciously assailed and attacked me will raise bitter complaint against this condition. ~However, after due conmde;?gor} and investigation, I wish to say that if the former gasoline prices of this state were excessive, the independents of this state were just as responsible for that condition and were just as §ullty of taking excess profits as was standard O#. -~ . -

- “At no time during the period which former gasoline tl;lulrices prevailed did any independent of this state raise one obée‘ction or bring one com‘golamt to this office In an effort to bring about any reduction in price but they were perfectly willing to profit to the fullest, extent. v

- “I realize that all sorts of charges will be made against me because of this action, but in view of the fact that gasoline can be purchased at various refineries today for g}r]qﬁrommately seven cents a gallon, it will not work injury to the üblic cause if the Independents are ?orcepdffo_r the time being to do business on a small margin of profit. Th‘g::sno particu}llar ufgason wl;y tktxe ?htate Government should guarantee to the Independent Qil Dealers of this state, at least for the time being fixed profits,especially in view of the fact that they were perfectly willing and were atg‘artyeto take ex- . cessive profits from the people.” =

_This clearly defines the position which the Standard Qil Comﬁy (Indiana) has maintained throughout this CODTOVeTsy.: o Do add, e Standard Oil Company BRVTRRRNL ... o A
