COLONEL WATSON COMING
Will Speak on the Streets Thursday
Night at Eight O'clock.

Col. A. p. Watson phoned The Ard
moreite this afternoon from Sulphur,
requesting that we announce that he
will arrive in Ardmore tomorrow
night at o'clock. At what point the
speaking will be is not known but
in his other campaign the Colonel
spoke at the corner of Main and
Washington. He was elected at that
time, and he will probably go back to
the same point to speak tomorrow
night. In fact, Colonel Watson has
never made a race when he did not
win, and he is out after votes this
time to put him back on the state
corporation commission.

Ardmore and Carter county good
roads meeting on Friday promises to
be one of the bigges. and most enthu-
siastic ever held in the city. Farmers
from all over the county are expected
to attend, as they have been notified
that the meeting has been gotten up
for their benefit and that they will
be expected to have speakers at the
meeting to express themselves fully
The committee of business men arc
still at work and will have a com
plete report to make as to the status
of affairs in the county. The commit
tee will recommend a bond issue, but
the amount will not be large at this
time, as they believe that the entire
county will be willing to vote bonds
of about one hundred thousand dol
lars, so that some roads can be built
which will settle the question of all
future road improvement.
1t is being pointed out that the
property owners of the city of Ard
more will have to pay three -fifths of
the taxes to retire the bonds, but that
will not be necessary, as the oil tax
will get nearly seventy-five thousand
dollars every year on the present rate
of production, and the law provides
that this money can be used to re
fund the bonds. AS the bonds will be
twenty-five years bonds, it means that
less than ten thousand dollars per
year will be necessary to take care of
the bonds, and that the balance of
the oil money can be used each year
to extend the permanent roads and to
maintain others.
Altogether the outlook for real
roads in Carter county is at last very
good, and Fridays meeting will tell
the tale.

multi-mifNonaires and banks own the
bulk Of all American railroad stocks!
If you are shedding tears for the
poor American investor in railroad
stocks, prepare to dry them.
Railroad stocks are owned for the
most part by wealthy individuals and
banks who can well afford to grant
the men an eight-hour day without
any increase in freight rates.
Examination of the list showing
the 20 largest stockholders Of each
of the railroads shows that of the
stock held by individuals Sc per cent
more than four-fifths-is held by
people who live in New York.
Of the stock held by banks and
brokers SO per cent - more than
nine-tenths is in the hands Of
New York banks and brokerage
firms.
A tremendous educational cam
paign is being conducted by the rail-
roads to convince the American peo-
pie that railroad stocks are held by
thousands of small investors. o.
The purpose of the campaign is
to make the great middle class be-
lieve the prosperity of their commu-
mites will be injured if railroad earn
ings are reduced.
There was never a more complete
misrepresentation Of facts. -.
+ The truth is the great stream of
railroad earnings flows to New York
and only little trickling rivulets of
railroad dividends and interest run
to other parts of the country.
Whatever the railroad employees
get in the form of increased wage
does flow back all over the country
and helps increase local prosperity.
If the railroads should have to re-
duce dividends S1O0,OO0,OOO to pay
for the eight-hour day for all classes
of employees it would be a fine thing |
for the country as a whole. |

gans, to every city>and village, in the

Ever since capital became concen-
trated in America the people of the
north, south, east and west have
been called on to pull New York's
chestnuts out of the fire. Every time
the people have had their fingers
burned.
Isn't it time for the people to let
the New York capitalists take care of
their own chestnuts?
Isn't it time for the great middle
class to realize that their real inter
'ests are tied up with the workers
who produce the wealth and not with
the plutocrats who consume the
fruits Of others toll, but produce
nothing themselves?
