ARDMORE'S MAYOR IN
FAVOR Of HOSPITAL
FOR DRUG ADD|CTS

Mayor Freeman had a number of
dope addicts in police court this morn
ing and what to do with them was a
problem too heavy for the judge to de
eide on the spur Of the moment. Hence
he assessed a heavy fine against each
and suspended sentence in order that
they might be given chance to go
either to work or leave town.
In commenting on the cases in hand
Judge Freeman stated that he was of
the opinion that the county should do
something Immediately to help stamp
out the drug evil in Carter county, and
could best do that by approprating
funds for the erection and maintenance
Of a hospital
Judge Freeman cited Garvin as an
example of the counties already having
taken such action, and said he hoped
that the board of county commissioners
might find some way to do the same
thing here.
Practically every physician in Carter
county, it has been said, would gladly
contribute free treatment to patients in
such hospital were it located here, and
the boon TO drug addcts would be great.
The mayor stated, in this connection,
that he is going to consult county off
cials, and business men generally, with
the idea of establishing such a hospital
here and said that he believed that such
plan would work out successfully.

IS NOT as popular today for the multitude
Ito condemn banks as it was few years ago.
The people have found out durin% the war that
the great system Of banks in the United States,
in cooperation with the people, made it pos

We could no more in this day and age
transact the business of our country without the
banks than we could harvest our crops of
grain and hay by the old method of the scythe
and the cradle.
Our banking facilities must expand in adj

RAW AND CRUDE

| \ QUESTION is now at issue on the Pacific
coast which affects the civil rights Of
every individual and industry in the United
States. The navy department has comman-
deered fuel oil worth Sl.60 a BARREL for SO
cents, and threatens to seize plants Of market
ing companies which includes about 7700 pro-
ducing wells, refneries, pipe lines and tank
steamers
Investment in the California oil industry
exceeds $1,000000 900, and 50 dependent is
local industry on maintenance of the business,
that its seizure, with consequent interruption
Of deliveries would seriously cripple business
on the Pacific coast
When oil sold at $l.30 barrel, the navy
Communicated at S1.08 When the price ad-
vanced to $160, due to increased cost of pro-
duction, and a 25-cents-a-barrel increase to pro-
ducers was urged by the fuel administration to
meet growing demands the navy increased its
sentative" price to $l.47,
Marketing companies were assured they
would be paid fair price" Inquiries as to
price were made by the fuel administration and
the federal trade commission and their recon-
mendatOns were receiVed-and rejected by
the navy.
In the meantime the Indebtedness of the
navy to oil companies piles up. It continues
to obtain its requirements without paying a
Just price. It's bills are being paid to unwill-
ing sellers by promises of adjustment now
more than two years old.
To cap the climax, in the face of advanced
costs and universally higher prices, the navy re-
duces its arbitrary figure of 81 AT to 86 cents
a barrel for fuel oil, when thousands of pro-
ducers are being paid the standard price of
$l,23 barrel for their crude oil at the WELL
1t is fair, is it Just. or is it honest for a
branch Of this great nation, such as the navy
department, completely to ignore and trample
on the rights of citizens in this autocratic
manner? The navy refuses to heed acts of
congress or the policy of the administration anv
more now than it did during the war. In the
past every commodity seized for the needs of
the government has been paid for at lust and
reasonable price, and the law provides a mode
of procedure for seller who feels he has not
been given a satisfactory price. The navy has
completely ignored these provisions.
1t is a serious matter in free country
when a great agency of the government en-
barks on policy of confscaton of private
property. 1t is a blow at civil rights which
must not go unchallenged.
The oil producers and marketing companies
of the Pacific coast raise a most solemn pro-
test protest of nationwide interest. the
grounds of which are of vital import to every
citizen Of the United States
If the navy can do this, the army can take
lumber, grain, cattle, horses automobiles or
anything else at any price it sees fit and delay
payment to suit itself, thus working great hard
ship If not ruin upon thousands of people.
