Difficulties
Of Oil Men

Many people believe that the oil
companies at all times encounter
smooth sailing and have few troubles
OF their own outside Of the work of
getting their stockholders to report
to draw dividends. That this is not
true is the experience Of all oil pro.
ducers.
With all the interest and the large
inducement offered by high prices
for crude oil, there is many a hind
rance for the development of an oil
field One of these is the difficulty
of obtaining casing Wells contract

of the inability Of the operators to
obtain it. 1t costs something like
$4,000 to put down a 1900 foot well.

the authorities.

CROP WORKERS WILL BE AMONG
 LAST CALLED TO JOIN ARMY

The Provost Marshal General has made the following ruling:
 Under Presidential Regulations. section 45 providing that certificates of discharge on ground of industrial necessity may be temporary only, at tention is called to the needlessness of using such certificates (Form 162) for men whose services are required in gathering the fall crops. Such ne- cessity may be imperative, but is only temporary.
 Its termination will vary in the var ious regions and for the different crops, but can hardly continue beyond the third or fourth week of Septem- Der, even in the most northerly lati- tudes.
 Under supplementary regulations soon to be issued covering the pro- cedure of mobilization into canton ments and carrying out the announce ment of Presidential Regulations, sec tion AS, last paragraph, the notice to persons accepted for service will not specify fixed date for individuals to report for duty, but will leave this date to be later fixed The adjutant general will notify each local board to summon, say, 20 per cent of its quota for certain date. another per centage for a laer date, and so on. Each local board VII select the indi- viduals who shall form the successive contingents thus to be called.
 The local board will have received from the district board (see below) list of the men who have presented claims for temporary discharge on the ground of necessity to gather crops. Certificates of discharge will not have been issued in such case; but the local board, on examining the papers con- cerning such claims, will be enabled, If 1t deems fit, to class those indi- viduals in the contingent to be sum moned at one of the later dates fixed by the adjutant general.
 Thus the temporary need of leaving those men at the crop work will be satisfied without complicating or di- mlnishing the quota accounts by car fylng those men as discharged tenn porarily.
 For this reason it is recommended that certificates of temporary dis charge be not given on the ground of crop work, unless in exceptional cases.
 District boards, however, are in structed to list the persons claiming temporary discharge on the above ground, and to certify them to the re- spective local boards with a note show ing the above claim to have been made and disallowed, so that the local board will thus be supplied with the infor- nation needed by them in postponinq such men to later calls in the manner above described.

To the Voters of Salem: In my two
former letters have attempted to
show on clean-cut grounds the dangers
in the amendments to be voted on at
the election next Monday. You will re-
call that l INDUCED in no personalities
whatever, and 1 did not expect to write
any further. By this time, however,
most of you have seen the scurrilious
pamphlet circulated by the Committee
in charge of the amendments. You all
know that it is cheap trick, con
temptible trick, a trick played by men
of low morals and small conscience, to
wait until the last business day of
city campaign, when it is too late 10
make proper answer to them, to circu-
late among you paper which has for
its foundation a cowardly, sneaking
eleventh hour personal attack on those
who in good faith oppose their amend
ments.
Now do not propose to take up
valuable time and space with an
answer similar to their attack, because
do mot believe the people would care
to read it. As to their attack on me-
they have misstated the amount of the
lien on the property I own, and they
have also told deliberate untruth in
saying sold my property, for 1 sold
off one lot, only I simply state this
to show how little credit can be given
to their statements. I do think, how
ever, that the nature of the attack is
made, and the time they chose to make
it, shows very clearly that they con
slider their cause a lost one; in fact,
several cf their hackers have frankly
admitted to me that the amendments
are losing ground daily, and will be
overwhelmingly defeated. don't
matter, but personally L would consider
it direct insult to my intelligence to
have any one appeal to me to get my
vote for the proposed amendments on
such grounds of personal prejudice and
hatred as contained in their CAMPAIGN
matter.
Those in favor of the amendments
argue that the council and officers of
Salem can be relied upon to enforce
the City's laws with discretion. The
,nly way to judge of that is by their
past record, which proves the contrary /
% be true. As I pointed out. in the
18th street case there was on file a
which the city engineer
eported to the council contained more
han two-thirds of the area facing on
he street, so that the council would
ave no authority to make the inn
'rovement; there was also on file q
etter from Mr.. Albert calling their
ttention to this fact. But did the
ouncil pay any attention to these mat

Of Salem, of whom am one, can draft
a fair measure with the cooperation
of the reople, and any unfair measure
submitted at the same time can be
voted down, as these present amend
ments surely will be. Those back Of
the present measures are virtually say
ing: "Here, voters of Salem, take
this dose of poison now or in the Fail
you will have to take worse dose

They couch their arguments in moro
pleasing terms, but that is the effect
of their proposals. Let's look at the
square in the face. My

week ago, and there has
been no answer to it. The only re-
sponse has been volley of personal
abuse, mass of mud, and it takes a
dirty man to throw mud. Let's elm
mate all personal considerations, all
questions of spite and revenge, and de-
eide the issue on the questions as pre-
sented. for the best interests of the
city which is our home and which we
love. Respectfully submitted,
