GASOLINE PRICE YVAR BRINGS LOWER PRICES Gas Now Being Sold For 17 Cents a Gallon in Concord—Two Cuts Made l'esterday. .

This means that gasoline is being sold by alt Cfimpafiies Wtp for IT a g?f!- lon. Companies in competition with the Standard had their “18 Cents a Gal lon” signs prepared early yesterday morn ing but before the day was over the 18 had been replaced by 17 to meet the Standard cut.

Unreasonable Profits. Mr. David charged that the aluminum, with which he said, Mr. Mellon had identified himself in his recent statement, “is profiting largely and unreasonably through legislative favors extended un der the Fordney-MeCumber tariff.” The Democratic presidential nominee said that no explanation ”lias ever been given, none can be given, for the great iweasft. wt duties ..on aJmpinwn and its products. “ “Even Mr. Mellon in his carefully pre pared statement,” Mr. Davis said, “does not attempt it. He confines himself to apology and not defense.” Mr. Davis, also charged the treasury with with issuing “wholly varying and ir reccnciliable estimates of probable sur pluses and deficits,” at the time when the soldiers’ bonus and Mellon tax plans were before Congress . He de clared that the result was “a loss of public confidence in the information giv en,” and added that if Mr. Mellon de sired “to regain the confidence of the country he should be more cautious in defending legislative tfavors enjoyed by his company.” Assailing the administration Mr. Davis said that no one could deny that its “chief characteristic” was silence.

If the league of nations or foreign powers invite us into conference on questions of world wide importance, again the answer is— silence. If race and religious prejudice threaten our domestic harmony, the an swer is—silence. If a wandering sec retary of the navy plans a speaking trip into the west, as soon ns the fact is discovered he is brought back to YY’ash ington and reduced to —silence. “If a congressional committee wishes to investigate the treasury the answer is—silence. „ Ilis Two Commandment*.
