D Rishel secretary sec see of the association said yesterday esterday that they would attempt to have the case heard in June or Ju July The Utah State Automobile association believes It Is right in the matter malter said Mr Ir Rishel lUshel and Is firm Cinn In its belief bellet that the commission will grant relief when tho the case oso is placed before them thorn in Its entirety Cause e of Di Difference One of or the tho strongest strong points In the digest of or Mr r. r E Eddy Edy according to Mr Rishel is that no gasoline I is entering Salt Lake from out outside ide points In covering coy cov ering this phase of or the question Mr Edd Eddy says The volume of or movement mo of oC crude oil and refined oils from rom the several fields felds under the rates stated shows more clearly than an any other facts of ot record that to remove the cause of or we must look look beyond the freight ht rates on gasoline and the spread in rates between crude and re refined refined re- re fined nned oils Crude Oil on Shipment Referring to this summing up of oC the evidence e Mr Rishel declares Mr E Eddy is not looking at It from the proper standpoint These records says Mr Ir Rishel show crude oil Is ship shipped d Into Salt Lake and that gasoline is not shipped Into Salt Sail Lake Vh Why For lor the simple reason that the spread between the crude and gasoline asoline rates Is so so large that it il is impossible to ship gasoline Into Salt Lake and compete with gasoline gasoline gasoline gaso gaso- line made from rom crude oil shipped here at a much lower freight rate The spread Is so great between the two products that it acts as a protective tariff to tho the home refinery and it would be suicide for any independent to attempt to sell gasoline purchased outside of ot Salt J Lake ake This spread or I. I protective tariff absolutely prevents competition 1 |
