the Consensus of Opinion of the
$ Being Built in All Sections; Why

what of the futureY Every visi-
tor to Tulsa asks that question.
\ well-known banker, who is not
an inflequent visitor to Tulsa,
WHIT a guest in the city a few
days ago, said: "You certainly
have a Lot town here, and | have
been convinced that it is more
tLan boom conditions in the oil
market that is making Tulsa the
wonder town of the whole cQun-
try. l. is the spirit of men that
is building here this great city.
and with such spirit, backed by
an endowment of natural re-
sources rarely, if ever before, en-
joyed b. ANY city, there is moth
ing to cause apprehension over
Tulsa s future"
, Financiers are natural pessim-
lists, always looking for the hole
in the doughnut, and if there
were doubt as to the future of
Tulsa, there would not be the
ready sale for the securities of
this municipality. Just few
days ago we saw where the
highest price ever paid for Okla
homa municipal bonds was bid
for an issue of Tulsa sewer bonds
in the amount of 100000. This
bid was made by men knowing
the confidence the financia
world feels in Tulsa.
Permanent Growth.
To all growing cities there is
ever the bugaboO of the town
that failed. We are constantly
reminded of the fatal boom col.
lapse at Wichita, at Oklahoma
City, at Denison, and at Dallas
but have you ever taken a real
comprehensive view of the situa.
ton at Tulsa as regards the
boom conditions that prevailed in
these other citiesY Do you see
travelling real estate agents in
every section of the country
seeking the dollar of the investor
in lots in additions to TulsaY No
The activity in Tulsa real estate
comes from investors here on the
ground, who see in Tulsa the
great city that is building. Go
into any part of Tulsa and you
will find more building activity
than you ever saw in any city of
it's size, but you will not find
mile after mile of plated ground
with vacant lots, and only graded
streets and cement sidewalks to
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-04-19

remind you that it is part Of
the city. Take any street and go
from the river north to the city
limits. or from Kendall west to
the limits, and you will find
block after block with "A house
ON every lot, and this house will
be occupied. Here you will find
no overexpansion, but the city
has spread out to the beautiful
residential districts only as the
home building has forced the ex-
pansion. 1t is often the remark
of visitors to the city that they
have never seen new city as
compactly built as is Tulsa.
Therefore, we repeat the boom
conditions that have resulted in
disaster and delayed the upbuild-
ing of other towns. which have
since recovered, do not obtain
here.
Many Resources.
OF course we all recognize the
fact that the oil industry is
Tulsa greatest resource, and
there is nothing to indicate that
there is anything to fear in the
future of the oil business in the
Mid Continent field. There is
permanency reasonably assured
from this source. The agricul-
tural conditions, the backbone of
the prosperity of all cities, are as
fine in the Arkansas and Verdi
girls valleys as may be found in
any part of the west. Tulsa S
bread and butter permanency is
certain. With the river and an
abundance of coal underlying
every part of the territory ad-
jacent to Tulsa, the heat and
power question is solved beyond
any doubt. The railroads, the
great arteries of trade, reach out
from Tulsa to all section of the
southwest, giving ready service,
make Tulsa a logical distributing
point for all commodities, which
with the ideal manufacturing
conditions in Tulsa, make only
for permanency in Tulsa's pros
perity.

The business men of De-
troit. Michigan. have made
official acknowledgement OF
their reliance upon war or
ders for their present pros
perity. The state tax COM
mission has increased the
assessment of Detroit and
Wayne County to two billion
dollars, basing the estimate
upon present indicated val
ues. The business men have
protested, alleging that pres
ent values are but temporary
and abnormal, and will fall
off as soon as the war in Eu-
rope is over. Secretary of
Commerce Redfield and the
Democratic National Com
mittee will not give much
publicity to this protest, but
1t is a pretty strong indiea-
tion of the real facts. |

This court made law upset long en-
tabllshed custom. but II does not pre-.
vent the end sought from being reach.
ed by other means. Producers who
wish 10 have no discrimination shown
to favored individuals can insure uni
form prices for their goods by estab-
fishing branch establishments or by
appointing agents. This IL the method
followed by manufacturers OF autom0-
biles. Bakers who sell their products
within restricted area can also regu-
late their prices by making grocers
their ngents and thereby retaining title
to their bread and rolls until they
reach the consumer
Producers OF other articles, goods
sod In small quantities and which
must depend on established merchants
fo- their distribution. are denied the
right that men In other lines have.
The SteDhens-Ashurst bill Is designed
to restore to these producers protec.
tion they had before Il was taken
away from them by the supreme court.
Cut rate department stores, 80 called
"chain" drug and grocery stores fin the
large cities. and mail order houses use
cut prices on standard, well known
articles to draw trade AWAY from
small stores and small towns The
loss they may suffer on these standard
articles is moro than made up by the
high profits on anonymous goods or
goods put up under their own brands.
In this way the producer Is injured
because the reputation OF his product
Is ruined; the retail merchant is dam
aged because he cannot afford to ad-
vertise widely special bargain bait"
to attract customers to whom other
roods may be sold at profit; the con-
sumcr is damaged because producers
are not encouraged to maintain quality
and because inferior articles are sub

compulsory. To take advantage of its
provisions the producer must register
bis trademark or special brand with
the bureau of corporations I'm Wash
ngtOn and must pay fee Of $40. He
must not have a monopoly OF articles
belonging 10 the same general class Of
and he must not agree |
With any competitor to control prices.
The producer must also file a scbed- |
lie giving the prices at which bis listed
