The Winning Of the War Largely Depends Upon
the Energetic Prosecution OF the Oil Business

Our government and its allies are almost entirely
dependent the American supply of crude oil. Okla
homa produces the greatest supply of the grade of
crude oil most desired by the government Most of the
battleships and cruisers of government and
our allies use oil for fuel The same is true of the
great fleet of dcstroyers which effective against
the German submarine. The mosquito fleet which so
yea ously guards shores depends almost entirely
upon our supply of gasoline for fuel THEREFORE
OIL IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FAC
TORS IN PREVENTING THE GERMANS FROM
CARRYING THE WAR INTO AMERICA In France
the allied troops moved to and from the battlefieds
in motors demanding large supplies Of gasoline. The
huge tanks Of our allies, the British, gasoline
Everyone knows that the supremacy of the allies in the
air is almost entirely due to the superior grade OF
gasoline which America is able to furnish large
and constant supply of lubricants is indispensable to
the factories making guns and munitions, and to the
factories making machines and tools for the manuac
of guns and munitions. The winning OF the great
and therefore the perpeuation of liberties in
America depends primarily on four things. First man
power second, food; third, munitions; and fourth,
fuel the latter including oil Of its indis

How Oklahoma Discriminates Against
the Oil Business

When oil sells for $2.25 barrel the oil producer
pays tax all OF his production at that valuation.
No other kind OF property the state is assessed for
taxation at its full value On the contrary other prop
crty is assessed from 50 to 90 percent-rarely more
than Is percent Of its value The average out
side Of cities and in Oklahoma for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1917, was 1767 mills Oil pro-
ducers pay 30 mill tax their production. The
average rate of taxaton railroad property in Okla
homa during the last three years has been about "a
per cent. Oil producers pay percent The owners
Of coal, zinc, lead and jack mines pay mill tax. Oil
producers pay so mill tax which is six times greater

Oklahoma Should Not Interfere With
the Duty of the Oil Producers of
the State to the Federal Government

Burdencd as the oil business is by the general con
ditions referred above from which there can be
relief as we MUST win the war. it is manifest that
there must be LAST STRAW which will actually
prevent our doing our full duty to the government
That last straw" is unwise and burdensome legisla
ton by the state of Oklahoma which legislation not
only hampers the oil business but is of real benefit

THE REMEDY

Was there ever time when we should be mora
careful in the selection of our state officers? Right
now every voter in this should be burning with
patriotism. Imbued with that spirit he should stand
for honesty and fair dealing in every respect He
should satisfy himself that his ideas are properly reps
resented in the state legislature. The way to bring
about such condition make careful inquiry into
the standing character and intelligence of the candi4
dates for the state legislature Vote for the fair and
honest man, and turn deaf the professional
politician

The Effect of This Discrimination

Tn dollars and cents this discrimination actually
prevents the drilling of wild cat wells. Not only this.
but the feeling the part of the oil producers of the
state that their business being Disseminated against
is in itself a discourapement
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1918-06-20
why the Oil Business Demands En-
couragement at This Time

The oil districts in Oklahoma represent very large
part of the wealth of this That being true the
oil producers have made large investments in govern
ment bonds, have contributed generously to the Red
Cross and other charities and pay large proper
ton of the war taxes Congress is the point of
making large increase in the war taxes. THE OIL
COUNTRY WILL MEET ALL THESE BURDENS
PROUDLY 1t so happens that the costs of labor and
material in the oil fields practically twice what they
were several years ago Notwithstanding this exten-
sive diversion of capital which would otherwise 20
into wild cat development, the oil throughout the
country have made such patriotic response to the de-
mandS of the government for supply of oil that it
is the only of the vital needs of the government
which is not under direct government control THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Is SATISFIED WITH
OUR EFFORTS TO AID IT AND ITS ALLIES
But greater supply of crude oil is needed The
drilling of known fields will barely maintain the
eating must be resorted to fully the needs of
the government.

CYNTHIANA'S NEW HOSPITAL.

The goal has finally been reached
after years work, in raising $10,-
900 for the reorganization of the
Harrison County Hospital. About q
year ago the Rev. c. w. Elsey was
made chairman of the soliciting
committee with Is assistants and the
amount of $10,039.32 has been sub
scribed. The last $1,000 was raised
by ten ladies, who agreed to solicit
500 each. 1t was the purpose iii
raising the money, to pay off the in
debtedness of the building, make
some needed improvements and start
anew without debt.
The property is now owned and
run by private incorporators who
agreed to turn over to the new con
Germ their interest, if the money could
be raised to pay the mortgage of
about $4,000. Donators of the $40,
900 will compose a body to elect di-
rectors to carry on the affairs of the
institution, which will be of an
eleemOsynary character.

Towns That Grow.

&c, every county and in every State
can be found towns that are continu-
ally forging ahead, while others re-
main practically at a stand still and
accomplish nothing in the way of ad-
va1cement. In every case the fault
can be found to rest, not with the
town. but with the people them-
selves.
The reason why some towns grow
is because they have men in them
with push and energy who are not
afraid to spend their time, energy
and money in anything that will
boom and benefit the town. They have
confidence enough in their town to
erect substantial and modern build
ings and residences and work for
public improvements in the same
order.
They organize companies and es-
tabiish factories, induce industrial
enterprises to locate and use every
means to further the best interests
of the town. Their work is never
considered finished and the accom-
plishment of one thing is only an in
centive of another
On the other hand the town that
does not get ahead will be found to
be dominated by either set of men
who are perfectly satisfied with their
surroundings and who are afraid
somebody else will be benefited in
the event something is started; con-
sequently no effort of any kind az
made by this class for these two rea-
sons.
de5p0r to start something they are
met by opposition and discourage
ment and it is uphill work all the
way and very often failure.
Every town, however, has certain
progressive element which hopes for
a turn of the tide when the town will
go forward by leaps and bounds and
occupy position of Importance and
obtain numerous advantages which
go to make a good town in every
sense.
But this stage cannot be accom-.
tidts 1t can only come from har-
m5ny in purpose and action and the
eternal vigilance of its citizens.
The town with these things will
continue to grow and improve, but
the town without them can be ex-
pected to remain in a state of leth
argy indefinitely without affording
its residents anything but mere eX-
istence.
1t is all true.

The activities of the Federal Food Administration for Arizona are now being eentered on the conservation ot wheat. The vital necessity for every householder, every consumer and sF- cry keeper of public eating place to save more wheat than ever before ia emphasized in the following state ment issued by Timothy A. Riordan. federal food administrator for Ari- Eona:
 We have saved some food during the last few months, the months since there has been Food Administration We have made a good beginning. But 1t is only beginning. We must save more. not simply more in total, but more each month.
 We have already sent overseas for our army in France and the soldiers and civilians of our associates in this war all of our surplus wheat and meat and fats. But they need much more. We can keep on sending them what they need in only one way, and

 Do not hoard food, for the Govern ment will keep in this country enough of every essential kind of foodstuff to supply all Of the people.
