PRODUCER TELLS WHY PIERCE

RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
(By a Producer)

The Ardmore Oil Producers Associa-
ton has been working overtime for
the past two weeks preparing evi-
dence for the oil hearing which Is to
be held here tomorrow.
They have secured the services of
several attorneys, among them Attor-
ney General West who will look after
the interests of the state and future
generations, and attorney w. II. Gray
of Houston, Texas. Mr. Gray is the
gentleman who secured the evidence
that put the Magnolia into the hands
of "A receiver and they paid a fine to
the State of Texas of several hundred
thousand dollars. The Association had
Mr.. Gray come to Ardmore once
before, but did not employ him at the
solicitation of Mr.. Greer, who made
good promises as to what the Mag
nolia would do. We have since found
out that any contracts or promises
made by Mr.. Greer amount really to
nothing so far as his boss is concern
ed. Mr.. Greer is forced to do these
things in order to hold his job.
The Pierce Fordyce contract with
the Magnolia will be presented to the
court and then our citizens Will know

that these contracts be not made pub

We are on to this foXie friend and we
do not believe he will ever fool us
again, as we know we are dealing
with an employee who has nothing to
do with the policy of the Standard

the same time forcing the Healdton

SIZE AND POWER OF
GERMAN GUNS STARTLING

The one big surprise for military
experts thus far developed in the
European war is the effectiveness of
the heavy guns of the German 1ield
artillery, says the November Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. in an IL
lustrated article Never before have
such terrible engines of humiliation
been carried by an invading army as
those used in the assaults upon the
forts at Llege.
1t had long been realized that more
powerful guns would be needed in the
field If modern inland Notifications
were to be made to fall before an
enemy, but there was apparent Sc
curty in the fact that guns large
enough for such a purpose would be
large enough for such a purpose
too large to be transported
from point to point. Even were mo-
tive power available the enormous
weight of the guns would make all
but the hardest of paved highways
impossible for them. But the de-
velopment of the internal combustion
tractor solved the transportation
problem while that of hauling heavy
weights over soft ground was solved
by the invention of a detachable tread
for the rims of guns carriage wheels.
With these for use on bad roads it
has been possible for the Germans to
rush to the front their enormous IL
inch howitzers, which are nearly as
great as the American 12-inch coast
defense guns. and weigh 90 tons.
The ingenuity of the Krupp en-
gineers did not stop here. They sue
ceeded in building gun able to
hurl proiectles through steel and
concrete walls such as those at Liege
almost as easily as if the works were
OF lath and plaster. The story OF
carnage and destruction wrought by
a single shell from this masterpiece
burdens the imagination. Profound
secrecy has clothed the details of
the construction of the machine,
which was invented some eight years
ago, tested, and for obvious reasons
subsequently pronounced a failure, 1t
fires 165-inch projectile, and when
used in Liege against Fort Loncin was
mounted on a base of concrete hav-
ing a 100-foot radius. a tunnel lead
ing to a subterranean chamber was
excavated some distance at the rear
from which the gun was fired by cleo
tricity.

adjusted by the federal authorities,
as the interest of the whole country
may seem to require"
The international law committee al
so approved the proposed internation-
al conference for the unification of
laws relating to bills of exchange; and
the proposed international agreement
in respect to deck cargoes exported
from the United States in the winter
time.
The committee on commercial law
reports in favor of the continuance of
the national Bankruptcy act, and op-
poses all legislation to repeal the
act.
Simplicity and clearness of laws, so
as TO be understood by the average
citizen, is strongly urged by the
special committee on legislative draft
ing. 1t refers in this connection to
the Growing monstrosity of the in
come tax act" with its involved
phraseology and no attempt whatever
at orderly arrangement" The formal
defects of the act are pointed out un-
der nine heads, one of them showing
certain sentences so worded as to
make no sense if literally interpret
ed" The committee adds
Though we claim to be a demo-
cratic government, our statutes are
addressed to lawyers and not to the
people: a layman can hardly be ex-
pected to understand their phraseolo-
gy. The principal German statutes,
| particularly the civil code, are pub
lished in cheap, popular and handy edi-
tions, and are found in hundreds of
thousands of homes. The eXtraordin-
ary sense of legality of the German
| people is not entirely inconnected
with the intelligibility of their laws. "
The committee on taxation also sub
mitted a report on the involved and
confused form of the Income tax law,
and recommended its revision as fol-
| lows:
Apart from the specific defects the
structure and language of the act as
whole is open to the gravest objec-
tions. \ revision of the law should
therefore extend to its form as wen
as to its substance. The entire act
should be reconstructed, and there
should be placed upon the statute book
an income tax law so arranged and
expressed as TO be convenient for
reference, consistent in all its parts
and capable of being understood by a
citizen OF average intelligence"

SAVES TO OKLAHOMA
TEN MILLIONS A YEAR

Since the announcement was made
that the war tax measure carried tax
on gasoline, that portion of the bill has
been bitterly objected to in Oklahoma,
and Senator Gore has been active in
his fight to save the people that tax.
Gasoline enters every home, and the
consumer must pay the tax by means
of a higher price being paid for the
product. In the conference held on
the bill today, the gasoline provision
was stricken out. The following tele-
gram from Senator Gore explains the
matter:
Washington, d. c., Oct. u. 1914.
THE Ardmoreite,
"Ardmore, Oklahoma.
1--WE have won gasoline fight in con-
ference. There will be no tax on gas
oline. This saves Oklahoma s10,000,00
year.

THRIFT 7 TALK
SAVE MONEY!
BUY A HOME
IN THE OWNED HOME THE IDEAL
FAMILY LIFE is FOUND. CHILL
DREN GROW UP IN WHOLESOME
SURROUNDINGS.
1--WE regard thrift as close to
the basis of domestic felicity
Judge Arthur j. Lacy, Detroit.

One of the objects for which many
thousands in this country are saving
is the ownership of their homes. This
is a purpose which bankers are al
ways glad to encourage because the
home-owner is an especially desirable
citizen and he usually calls upon the
bank to aid him in attaining his pur-
pose.
In the owned home the ideal family
life is found. Children are brought up
in the most wholesome surroundings.
The man who owns his home has
increased his assets of self-respect and
independence. He has high ideals and
a deep sense of the responsibilities OF
life. He is generally optimistic and
bears the troubles that come during
a lifetime more easily than the man
who is living for the moment.
He studies civic problems; he wants
to know who's who" in municipal af-
fairs, as he pays taxes directly out of
his pocket, and thus the matter is
brought closer to him than in the in
direct way of paying rent.
He takes comfort in the fact-and
his wife sleeps better for it-that if
he is taken away, his wife and chill
dren will have roof over their heads.
The family is kept intact through the
ownership of the home. The widow
keeps the children in school and gives
them better start in life. Many cases
of this kind are known.
So, if you are reasonably sure of be-
ing located permanently in one place
of business, it will pay you to save
money and buy your home.
