Coming Village Election.

The coming village election will
occur the fourth Tuesday in April,
or April "a. Tickets must be filed
ten days before election. Already
considerable interest is being mani
fest, and prospective candidates are
being looked over. There seems to
be much dissatisfaction with the way
the town has been run, and nobody is
more determined to vote for a change
than the village fire department, the
members claiming they have been put
Off at every effort to get equipment
for the protection of the town against
fire. There is also dissatisfaction
over the council paying Robt. Swa-
dener what some believe to be an ex-
cessive price to do the surveying for
paving, in the face of the fact that
competent engineer has tried to get
an opportunity to do the engineering,
and would have saved the taxpayers
considerable money. So far as the
Republican can discover the council
has refused to consider any propo-
sition from County Surveyor Edwards,
accepting Mr.. Swadner's terms with
out investigation, the people paying
for this extravaganza. Another cause
of dissatisfaction, and one that has
added to the cost of paving, is the
matter of printing of ordinances.
The council closed the doors to COM
petition, refused to consider any prop
osition from the Republican, and
gave the work to the Orofino Tribune
at ten cents line, a price that is
out of all reason, and which must be
paid by the people.
Another cause of dissatisfaction,
and one for which the council is not
wholly to blame, is the matter of
village attorney. Orofino citizens
are reasonably decent, and do not
relish an avowed anarchist for legal
advisor. They prefer something bet
ter than rabid enemy of law, order
and organized government, and will
vote for change. 1t is not pleasant
to feel that the village attorney is an
|. w. w., an apostle Of sabotage and
other violence, and many other things

Would Orofino be entitled to 65 pc
cent of the road and bridge revenu

would you think of an Elk River far

monopoly on two thirds of the tota

Our New Show House.

Mr.. Miller of the Rex calls our
attention to the fact that the new
Rex Theatre will have a seating
capacity of over three hundred, and
that he is putting in 2O-inch opera
chairs. The house is to have fine cur

afford ample room to take care of the
needs of Orofno for some time to

rOIOWlng artlcle:
''In a recent issue Of the Clearwater
Republican Mr.. Svoboda has taken an
exception to personal mention ap-
pearing in the Orofino Tribune about
VIM. Eby and e. A. Wilmot favoring
the completion Of the new Ford creek
grade as already laid out. Mr.. Svo-
boda is again on the warpath and has
circulated petition, getting every
body to sign it he possibly could,
even residents of Canada. to abandon
a few thousand of dollars worth of
work, which has been already put on
this grade and to swing the road
through his place.
1.-The completion of this grade only
means the work of between seventeen
and 1850 it,, and the most expensive
work has been done, according to a
statement of our road boss, Mr..
Frank White.
''This is in comparison to Mr.. Svo-
boda's proposed road which is nearly
IL miles in length, and on a grade.
which to people who are familiar
with the lay of the land is one hugh
joke. Especially when he talks
about making a grade Of from to
per cent and making a statement
when he went around with the petition
that the most Of this work could be
done with a grader.
81 have been informed by one of
the retired commissioners, that last
year, in making a survey of the Svo
boda proposed road, that the best
grade they could get part of the way
from the Perkins farm was on 10
per cent, while the upper grade as it
is already laid out is at its very
steepest only per cent.
Now in regard to not having Sc
cured the right of way thru Okey
Jordan's and Frank Pavel's farms.
The grade is already completed
through Mr.. Jordan's land and about
half mile beyond, and the right of
way has been bought of H. E. Eller
for which was paid around 1926 90,
and it will pass through a corner of
waste land on Mr.. Psvel's place.
'Mr. Svoboda's s proposed road will
take thousands of dollars 10 construct
and it will mean also several years
before it is completed, as our road
appropriations are not sufficient to
complete it in one season. During
this time the Fraser, Weippe and
Pierce sections will be without q
decent road to their county seat. and
even if granted, would not be on as
good grade as the road already laiC
out. Before a railroad builds new
road. it first finds out the prospective
tonnage and travel that there will be
hauled over it. We believe this same
policy should be used on wagon roads
Mr.. Svaboda is practically the only
farmer in the canyon who will have
any tonnage to haul to market ovel
his proposed road. while the road as il
is now laid out will be direct benef
to number of farmers who have j,
large tonnage to haul to market
Yes we do hope with Mr.. Svobod'

that the commissioners in considering
the different routes will surely take
the cost Of construction, maintenance
and grade into consideration.
Personally we have never said a
word against Mr.. Svoboda having a
good road to his place, but we do
protest against throwing away thous-
ands of dollars already spent on fine
grade in order to crafty personal
whim.

TULSA, Okla, March Sit was
Christmas eve, some fifteen years ago.
The man was forty and poor-in fact,
painfully poor-for as he wandered
aimlessly along the brightly lighted
streets of Detroit eart-hungry for
the money To make Christmas real
for the kiddies at home, who would
scoff if the threadbare coat sleeve
brushed away n tear.
But the man was rich in spite of
this-rich in brains, courage, vision
rich in the priceless knowledge of hu-
man nature, and the pulse of the
great American people.
In the brief span of two years we
see this dreamer ascended to the pin
nacle of Americas greatest business
success; head and chief owner of
business which makes for him and his
stockholders a cold million dollars
every week; disciple of higher wages,
better working conditions and good
economies for his employees, and the
owner of the best-known name in
America. All this because Henry
Ford dreamed and worked with en-
thusiasm and zeal, upon a thing he
knew would succeed.
His success has been built upon his
theory that "any man can make a
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-04-01

fortune if he can produce something
the people want in quantities and
keep expenses down" And he has
built this tremendous success at the
expense of no other man or business.
He has contributed a great work to
the world without injuring the success
of rivals or competitors.
Detroit has nearly doubled in pop
ulation since the advent of the auto
mobile industry. A dozen or more
factories, building cars of every size,
type and price, and employing thou
sands and thousands of highly paid
workers, are silhouetted against the
skyline of Lake Erie's coastal pros
porous with the hum of industry,
working night and day and still un-
able to fill the worlds demand. Such
is the third largest industry i'm Amer
lea today, and yet only small per
cent of the people of the United states
own cars. The others are hungry for
cars. Thousands of those who own
the cheapest cars will buy better ones
in the next five years. Conservative
authorities estimate that there will be
millions of autos sold in the United
States within the next ten years.
The automobile pleasure and gaso-
line driven truck is rapidly replacing

wagon on the farm. Ten years ago
the automobile. the hated arstocrat
of the road. was in the hands of the
city man. Today the farmer rides in
his own car or hauls his cream and
produce to town in "A truck.
The past glories Of the automobile
industry, amazing though they be, will
be insignificant compared with what
we shall see in the next ten years.
Last year Oklahoma alone spent
twenty million dollars for automo-
biles. Kansas spent twenty-five mil
lions. Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico.
Colorado, Missouri and other rich
southwest states spent similar sums.
