VIII You Vote For The Road Tax!

We call the attention of the voters
OF wards ,, 8, 8, and 10, 10 the procla.
nations issued by the police Jury,
calling for elections to be held March
18th, for voting upon the proposition
of levying a mill road tax for five
years upon all taxable property in
these wards. This is subject that
should have the careful consideration
Of every property owner in the wards
affected. The voting of this tax I'M
doubleday means an added burden to
people already taxed far in excess
of any benefits received from the taxes
which they pay. In the light of past
experience, can tax payers hope to re-
ceive any material benefit from mon
les so voted? What assurance has the
tax payer that his money will be put
upon the roads, where it will benefit
him, rather than frittered away as has
been the case in the past. Does the
fact that the police jury through cour-
tesy has granted to the people of each
district the privilege Of nominating
their supervisor, insure that this same
courtesy will be extended to them dur.
ing the life of this tax? These and
similar questions should be carefully
considered before voting to increase
the burden of taxation. The question
is not whether it will pay to have
good roads. There is not ten pei

ward who would object to the tax i

OIL FIELD NOTES.
Rio Bravo Refinery Running bay and
Nfght.-Sun People will Begin
Drilling Saturday. - Michigan
Company Began Pumping
New Well Thursday.

After laying idle for sevral months,
the Rio Bravo refinery at this place
is again running at full blast, work
ing night and day. They recently
purchased Il, 600 barrels of crude oil
from the Michigan Company. This
added to the output of the Home
Company's we'll, which was purchased
about year ago, and what their own
wells furnish, gives them sufficient oil
to warrant them in pushing the work
of the refinery to its limit.
Col. ]. M. Jones of Houston, Texas,
general superintendent of the Rio
Bravo company, was out inspecting
the refining plant Thursday. 1t is in
timated as a result of this visit that
considerable improvements will be
made at the refinery. Field Superin-
tendent, A. F. Roach, of Houston,
and his wife, recently, of California,
are making their home out at the re-
finerv for the present.
The Sun people have their derrick
up and expect to commence drilling
Saturday.
Ben Taber has his lumber on the
ground for his derrick which will be
erected within few days.
The Texas Company baled theii
deep we'll Sunday and got gusher OF
salt water, but they are hopeful thai
since they have the salt water practic'
ally shut off, they will be able te
bring in good we'll.
The Central City Company begaI
pumping their we'll Thursday after
noon, but are unable to tell yet JUS
what 1t will make.
The Hill Top people will ship one o.
two cars of oil this week to their re

yerted into the finest axle grease an,

trial association opened here with
about 80 of the expected 200 delegates
present President c. w. Post, of this
city. made an address strongly oppos-
ing unions and the closed shop. He
said:
1T is manifestly a much greater re-
straint of trade, annoyance and loss to
the people for the labor trust leaders
to tie up the railway and prevent travel
and shipments than it is for the oil
trust to obtain from the railway re-
bates not enjoyed by its competitors,
for the last is simply a peaceful scrap
between business men.
I'VE have laws to punish these men
who bring disaster, loss and suffering
upon an entire community and we must
demand action by our public prosecut-
ing officials in such cases."
Mr. Post advocated the reorganiza-
ton of citizens associations with an
arbitration committee to settle indus
trial troubles
