NO tfcuSeN tOf ickns. leglS-

practically prohibits the clrcuses.
This law requires the payment or a
license fee OF $500 for every circus
performance As this means an out
lay OF $1,000 per day for each ex-
hibit, there has quite naturally been
no "clrcus" in Amarillo this year and
there is no Likelihood OF such n per-
formance in the town while such a
freak law remains on the statute
books. But" queries the innocent

not circuses, they seem TO me like
pretty good limitations" That's Just
1t. They are the best limitations that
the law allows. In the show adj
vertising used IN Texas, the word
Circus is carefully avoided, In adj
dition TO that distinction, however,
the tented shows are obliged to cut
out all equestrian work, bareback
riding, chariot racing and hippo
drome exhibitions, Both the big
tented shows that have made Amar-
lilo this year have some exception
ally strong equestrian and hippo
1romo acts, but in Texas they are
obliged TO leave these off the pro-
gram and substitute other acts. US
ually the substitutes are not so good
as the originals and the result of
the law is that the people pay the
regular price but do not witness a.
distinctiyely circus performance.

OLOFIELD HAS BIG SALARY
Former Salt Lake Bike Rider Says
He Expects $4,000
Year by Fall.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. S.-From a bare
living salary CT $500 per year to figures
which compare with the salary of the
pl esident of the United States. Barney
Oldfeld has certainly made a great
jump in financial earnings.
The intrepid chauffeur admits that he
was making only $500 a year i'm 1901. Al
that time he was doing odd jobs and
there were times when he was short the
necessary cash for meals.
There We're times when / was near
ly starved" said Oldfield. and there
were times when a dime looked as big
as a barn to me-" This was in 1901.
Since then Oldfeld has become an
adept at the auto game. Getting a
start here with Tom Cooper and Henry
Ford. Oldfeld, year after year, has in
creased his earning capacity. II was
i'm 1901 that Oidfeld was working for
Cooper at mere living expenses. To-
day Cooper is working for Oldfeld
watching the chauffeur's interests in
the theatrical line. Barney Oldfield
draws his royalties from the Wander
bilt Cup Race" which proved such a
big success down east.
For this year, and the season is a lit
tie more than half over. Oldfeld has
made over $4,000. He expects to see
his earnings reach the $4,000 mark be
fore the snow flies.
Barney has been saving some of this.
He owns a big farm near Toledo and
several houses. At the same time he
squanders his money freely and is a
lavish entertainer. With the money
coming as easily as il does, Barney has
no intention of quitting the sport which
requires him to face death-almost-a
