Sir. Am submitting this TO be published
with your approval. Night before last the
United States marshals closed gambling and
booze joints at this place. Merchants
should be paid more prompt and business
should be better. The town should be boosted
and I am no knocker. Notwithstanding this
fact there is one thing l must mention which
I think should be adjusted. The banks at
this place charge 10 cents to cash any out Of
town pay check, this charge being made re-
gardless OF deposit Every laboring man In
this field works hard enough for his money
and wants full value OF same. Considering
high prices OF everything in the field 1t Is
nothing but right that they should have 1t;
The time for adding interest to principal
and putting total as face OF note many not
be over even with our banking laws. but the
time for banks to rob the laboring men
should be past The banks claim this charge
is due to high cost of getting currency in
"a very poor excuse) and the oil companies
who make their money in this field not keep
ing enough deposits in these banks to
justify them In cashng checks without

Tulsa World Dear Sir: There Is a condl.
tion that exists right under the nose Of your
self as well as the writer. and which strikes
treme and that is the Fourth street street
car"
I would suggest that you start q public
subscription in your columns, heraldins II to
the residents that reside upon and near TO
Fourth street.-the proceeds Of which we
would give 10 the poor car company to buy
new wheel for the lonesome car.
In city that makes pretentions Of having
metropolitan ideas this old iunky street car
that makes that thoroughfare Ia q disgrace.
understand that the car company cannot
afford 70 buy any new supplies but the
put them on easy street. They weakly pull
the oar to the top of the hill, (Fourth and
Main) put the operator's foot behind 1t and
give II boost and the old flat wheeled boat
let's everyone along the street know that 1t
bell.
A feature that should be taken seriously Is
the !itneys. They should be required TO show
that they are responsible before they are
permitted TO operate. In the case Of an
dccident l do not think there is one Of
them that the injured person could recover
city dads are being more or less careless by
permitting such a condition to exist. They
have assumed the phase Of public carrier
and they should not be shown any more con
sideration than the street car company which
is compelled to show responsibility before
a franchise Is granted
l address these letters to you as / believe
you are public spirited enough TO give them
their proper consideration. I do not seek
publ"ity but / have moved to Tulsa TO make
II my home and | naturally want TO see 1t
become a real city-a man and not child
In long paHts. II your paper would adopt
what is becoming more the custom in the
large cities, sort of column for public
expression IL would create civic interest
that has not >as yet shown itself in Tulsa.
Thanking you for your time consumed

COLUMBIA SIX WILL
Be THE LATEST MODEL
DETROIT CONCERN ABSORBS
ARGO VEHICLE COMPANY;
TO MAKE NEW CAR.

With the acquisition of the corpora
ton Of the Argo Electric Vehicle Com
pany Of Saginaw. Mich, by the Column
bia Motors Company of Detroit, it is
made known that the Columbia Motors
is to begin at once the production of a
new six-cylinder car to retail at ap-
proximately 81, 200. The Columbia Mo-
tors is capitalized at $5OO,00O.
The Columbia Motors was started
through the merger of two companies
in process of formation, in which such
prominent motor car men as j. G.
Bayerline, president, William E. Metz
ger, v~ice-president, and A. 7. O'Con-
nor secretary and treasurer of the new
company, were interested. With the
Argo merger, everything is in readi-
ness for the manufacture of the Col
umbla car.
The company will Immediately take
possession Of a factory in Detroit. The
first years production is to be limited
to $500 cars, the output going forth
January l.
Columbia Motors takes rank, it is
announced, as the first new producing
company to have membership in the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. This membership gives the
company's product participation on a
N. A. G. c. membership basis in the
National Automobile shows in New
York and Chicago this winter.
The first Columbia six was produced
early in the summer, but production
has been held up pending the Argo
absorption.

100000 CARS MADE
IN FIRST y MONTHS
ASTONISHING GROWTH OF
AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS
OF DODGE BROTHERS.

Dodge Brothers recently turned out
a No. 10000, and the event was
celebrated at the big plant in Detroit
by taking motion pictures of the final
assembly of the car.
Dodge Brothers have been %reticent
in making public production figures,
and with the exception Of those in
the trade, who are close to the sltua-
ton, hardly anyone realized that this
concern had had such an astonishing
growth. Dodge Brothers produced
their first car on a commercial basis
on December 4, 1914, and by reaching
100000 now in less than two years
they establish an entirely new RECORD
iA the motor car industry.
The concern is now producing on
large scale and 60 odd acres OF floor
space of the plant are being added t6
bv the construction of new buildings
The evidence of the great growth OF
the company is further emphasized
bv the fact that when the drawings
for position in the automobile shows o
1916 at New York and Chicago were
made recently, Dodge Brothers were
found in fourth place in the industry
in volume of business. This was ar
advance in one year from eighth place
to fourth place.
Car No. 100000 is going to have
quite an eventful. time. 1t was
shipped to the Henshaw Motor com
pany of Boston, which had appliee
for the car months ago. There vii
be a public reception at which many
officials will welcome the car, and i
will be escorted about the city bv thu
first Dodge Brothers "a received IL

sold average $3.50 as the selling price,

words, in round plumbers, Montana
will spend 1000, 900 for automobiles
during 1917.

ports Of heavy sales in the farming
