RAILROADS OBJECT TO
HIGHER TAN RENDITION

Since the government and the
courts have brought about and ais-
tanned the S-hour day for railroad
men, thus increasing the expense Of
operation, the roads have succeeded
In getting the Interstate Commerce
commission to grant an increase in
freight rates. over In Oklahoma, the
State Tax board felt that since the
people and not the railroads are TO
bear the cost OF the wage Increase
the roads ought to be willing to in
crease their rendition for taxation
from $4,000 a mile to $4,000 and
have cited the roads TO come before
the tax board on May 10 to say why
not. The railroad people say they
will oppose the proposition.

The demand for bread and meat
will continue strong II matters not
whether the big war in Europe con
tlnues or ends In the near future
The vast armies cannot be demobiliz
ed In time for the men TO take part
In industry in 1917. In the mean time
the millions Of soldiers and the more
millions now engaged In the manu-
facture Of war supplies are consul
mws Of bread and meat produced
otherwise
should the United states enter the
war, It thereby becomes another inn
] portant customer for bread and
meat This will very materially boz
/ crease the already strong demand
from abroad Hence there is every
indication that the prices for the
necessities Of life win continue high
for the next year
Northwest Texas is admirably we'll
suited TO take advantage OF this
strong demand for bread and meat
It grows wheat and other small
grain most successfully Il grows the
sorghum grains like kahr and milo.
It grows forage crops like sorghum
and sudan. There are vast areas Of
new fertile land that may be planted
to these crops in 1917. In other words
northwest Texas may Increase its
crop area to take advantage Of the
demand FOR what It grows most sue
cessfully.
Not a hoof needs leave northwest
Texas for feed lots otherwheres. II
is itself able to produce everything
necessary to fatten every hoof at
home and thereby get the fun value
OF the steer. the lamb. the hog. The
grains and folders grown In north
west Texas produce the finest beef,
mutton and pork as cheaply as it can
be done IN the corn belt
But It will take the cooperation
OF the banker. the business man, the
farmer. and the stockman to make
material Increase Ia production Of
bread and meat In 1917 The banker
must look after the financing and the
business man must give attention to
better marketing. while the farmer,
the live stock grover. and the feeder
give their undivided attention to In
creased production.
The crop season OF 1917 is al hand
and plans for extension o. production
must be made quickly Shall north
west Texas show marked Increase IN
1917?
Talk II over with the banker and
the business man.

SUGGESTIONS BY
 FIRE UNDERWRITERS
Recommendations for Helping to
 Reduce Fire Hazards

Extracts taken from the report of the National Board of Fire Under writers published last evening were read with much interest. Reporting on the city in general, the engineers said that the gross fire loss for a period of five years was only $221,107, and the average number of fires was 147, and the average loss was $30O-- a low figure. Based on an average population of 51,400, the average number of fires per 1000 population was 2.9-a very low figure-and the average annual loss per capita was S6 cents-a very low figure" The fore going statement reflects the excellent work of the fire-fighters, and it is also tho more commendable since the un- derwr1tcrs declare the department is undermnnned
 The experts figured the per capita expense of the maintenance of the de- rartment in 1916 was SIPS.
 Under the heading of Explosives and Inflammables" the following state ment is found At one hardware store in the principal mercantile dis trict. 50 to 100 pounds of dynamite, iE original wooden boxes, is kept on tho first floor or rear addition; a magazine in an outlying district is maintained. A sporting goods store carries a 25-pound can of gun pow der on the ground floor, near the front door. in a convenient place for quick removal from the building. Motion picture booths are generally well installed with proper containers for extra films. Paint and hardware stores carry small to moderate amounts of oils, turpentine and alco- hol on tap, without special precaution against leakage. Garages in the busi- Hess district are all in joisted build iags with concrete floors and have underground gasoline tanks; oily waste in several garages is not prop crly disposed of.
 Cntidy Easements and Attics.
 The general conditions found in easements and attics of buildings in Nr mercantile district were very un- 'tly: many accumulations of papers, excelsior and other infammable sub stances were noted piled under stairs and other out-of-the-way places. In r:.rtmable rubbish of all descriptions was indiScriminately burned in rears Of buildings in nearly every block often in metal burners, and were strewn about the ground: small chill
  through the rubbish in these burners and frequently were seen to set fire 10 the papers, both in the burners and On the ground, not only endangering themselves, but possibly, with the proper combination of circumstances, making the start of a conf1agration. One instance was noted where a burner was located on the roof of one-story addition to a building. with papers overflowing it and piled around the roof. This hazard was brought to the attention of the city officials, who seemed impressed with the gray ity of the situation and proposed es- ta blishing an ordinance prohibiting | tho burning of rubbish, except in con- | tainers approved by the fire chief" This has been done.
 Electric Wiring.
