St. Louis District Has Over
Half Of Quota.
1915, 600, 900 DAILY
MUST BE RAISED
Final Spurt win BE Necessary To
Put The Current Loan
Over Top"

Washington, April 30.-The Victory
Liberty loan campaign was one half
over tonight with only one quarter
OF the total officially reported sub
scrlbed. Reports to the treasury up
to tonight showed subscriptions of
$1,130,697 900.
If the Victory Loan is to be float
ed successfully subscriptions of $685.
100000 much be gathered daily until
the campaign ends May 10th. At the
close of the 9th day of the Fourth
Liberty loan campaign, the time cor
responding to the present in the Vic
tory drive, the nation had subscribed
1851 ,556,000, or $461 100000 more
than has been subscribed so far to
the Victory loan. The percentage of
the $6,000,000, total of the Fourth
loan subscribed at the time CORES
ponding to the present was 1852 per-
cent as compared with 25.12 percent
0 fthe current loan.
Ship Slowed Down.
Because of tagging subscriptions,
the U. S. S. Crane, the "Victory
ship" which is making the San Diego
Panama leg Of the "victory journey"
from San Francisco to New York,
has been running slowly down the
Pacific coast. Rear-Admiral Cowie,
today directed the victory ship to
speed up her engines, however.
Only the St. Louis district has gath
cred in more than half of it's sub
scription quota. In the last "a hours,
the Minneapolis district jumped
from fifth to third place, pushing Bos-
ton one rung down the ladder. The
Atlanta district advanced seven
percentage points.

RATE INCREASE ON
BUSINESS PHONES
IS ANNOUNCED
One Party Business Phone
Will Cost SIS Per month
Beginning Today.

An increase of one dollar per
month in the business telephone rate
effective May LIST, was announced to-
day by Manager w. L. Jones of the
Southwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany. There will be no increase in
the residence rate. On the contrary,
a new rate Of $500 for party line
service will be quoted in the future
which is lower than the present rate.
"This increase in the business rate"
said Manager Jones, "is a natural re-
suit of the enormous advance in the
cost of furnishing telephone service.
I'm the early part of 1918 we went
before the city council and asked for
relief, because our rates then were
clearly inadequate to meet the bare
cost of furnishing service. We were
operating our exchange at the start of
last year at net loss without one
cent for interest or dividends on the
investment. We continued to oper-
ate at loss throughout the year af-
ter our properties were taken over
by the government we put before the
postmaster general such conclusive
proofs that he authorized on January
Isl VI IHc current year Sucn raCeS as
we asked for almost year previous.
Increase insufficient.
"This increase we now know, was
not sufficient to meet the perman-
emily increasing cost Of furnishing
service.
"The telephone company has faced
the same unprecedented increases in
the costs of labor and commodities
that have made increased selling
prices necessary in all business or
CARNATIONS.
eve operated the local exchange at
net loss of $820.84 in 1917. Our
loss increased to $10,811 in 1918. The
new rate, plus the increase as OF
January LIST, will enable the local ex-
change to earn slightly less than :
percent on the money invested
"This company is operating it's
telephone property under the direct.
ion of the postmaster general for the
! United States government and must
secure sufficient revenue to cover
The cost of rendering the service
Mr.. Jones said.

Speaking before the limited States
Chamber of Commerce, Secretary
Redfield foresaw the development of
new spirit of cooperation in bust
hess which will eliminate the abuses
bf unrestrained competition and close
combination.
1t is an ethical evolution, encour-
aged somewhat by antitrust laws
which he said, business had now out
grown.
He said the old trust" system had
had its day, that the bitter contests
over competition with resultant dam
|gers to communities are passing, and
THAT cooperation is the middle path
Of prosperity for business.
Applaud Hurley.
The convention applauded his re-
marks and later renewed the ap-
plause when Edward N. Hurley, chair
man, of the United States Shipping
Board, expressed conviction that
America can compete with foreign
countries in ship building costs and
I'm operation Of the bottoms as well.
He referred to the cost of build
f,ng materials in Great Britain, which
ne said, was approximately the same
as IN America and said that while
wages are higher here, that would be
offset largely by higher developed
system of production. Use of large
shlps and greater speed in loading
ana unloading cargoes, thus avoiding
port delays, he said, would reduce
cost OF operation. He quoted figures

could now turn out vessels at figures

war When the system of production

efficiency.

Hope Difficulties Can Be
Cleared Away.
ROME MAY ACCEPT
PARIS OVERTURES
Believe Italians Can Resume Kela-
tons Without Sacrifice
OF Dignity.
(By The Assocjated Press)

Paris, April 30.--There is a slight
rift in the Italian cloud which gives
hope OF the clearing of the difficult
ties that have arisen in the peace
conference over the Adriatic prob
lem Overtures for the resumption
or relations have not come thus far
from either direction, but there are
limitations from Rome, that over
lures from Paris would not be unac-
ceptable, and would receive every at
tention.
The prevailing sentiment among
the delegates, including several of
the American delegation, is against
resentatives, and it was at first be-
lieved that President Wilson shared
this view. Those nearest the presi-
dent, however, asserted that il Italy
is disposed to relinquish Fiume and
accept the compromise the pres dent
suggested, he could doubtless, in the
interest of harmony, make such
friendly suggestions as would permit
the resumption of relations by the
Italians, without any sacrifice of dig
nifty or self-esteem.
These personal susceptibilities are
1elt to be more OF an obstacle at
present than the territorial merits of
the case. While popular sentiment
in Italy still insists on holding Fiume,
the recent official attitude has been
less insistent and apparently tends
! toward acceptance of one OF the vari-
GUS plans proposed by the council Of
three, whereby Fiume would be in
ternatiOnaliZed and some Dalmation
outposts given to Italy.
1t is the declared purpose of the
council, as well as President Wilson,
not to yield on Fiume, even if the
peace treaty is signed without Italy's
participation. But, should the recent
official tendencies at Rome take the
definite form Of acceptance, of a
compromise, the presidents friends
say. they are sure that no feeling OF
pride will restrain him from taking
steps which will fully restore the
Italian delegation to it's former agree
able status in the conference

SUBSCRIBING ROAD FUND.

The Carter County Good Roads As
sociation is raising a fund Of $500 to
be devoted exclusively TO the promo
ton OF roads in and through Carter
county. Several communities in the
county are contributing TO this fund
along with Ardmore.
There are five great highways inter.
secting at Ardmore that will receive
the benefit of this fund. The annual
convention of the D.CD highway will
be- entertained in Ardmorc June 10 and
IL. A delegation will represent the
county at the National Good Roads
convention April II to l9 at Mineral
Wells, Texas. Carter county will
share in the expense of improving the
sand road approach to the new Red
river bridge near Gainesville, along
with Marietta and Gainesville. A
strenuous campaign for the adoption
Of the fifty million dollar road bond is
sue win be put on in the county and
funds will also be contributed to the
state organization for this purpose.
The theory Of the Chamber Of Com.
mercc is that roads are fundamental
and that the building of a CITY depends
more upon the development of a great
roads system than upon any other one
item of activity during the present
year

CARTER COUNTY GOOD ROADS ASSN.
SUPPORTING ROAD BOND PROPOSAL

Some of the outstanding basic argu-
mcnts in favor Of the proposed fifty
million dollar road bond issue are
these.
The state cannot advance, develop
and prosper without good roads. Roads
to be effective must serve the entire
state and must be built ON a system
designed to serve every portion Of the
state trunk lines-not merely a
patchwork of county and township
roads without coordination.
Vast economy will be achieved in
the construction of such a system by
having all the work done under one
management. This will also secure
great assistance from the federal gov
ernment which during the next ten
years VIII spend billions OF dollars in
cooperation with the states in building
hard surfaced roads throughout the
nation
The roads will be built at the expense
of those who travel them most and for
long distances-not at the expense Of
the farmers along the way. The farm
owners will have only a small mainte-
nance tax TO pay for their use of the
roads
The plan does not lessen the ability
Of the counties and townships to build
laterals leading into the state trunk
lines-rather it gives them more avail
able funds to do this.
The main burden Of construction
rests upon automobile owners, They
will save more money by use Of the
roads-in repair bills and gasoline
than the roads win cost This is possi.

roads to pay for them by using them

ing rent.
Building roads now win employ a
vast amount of labor particularly re-.
turning soldiers just when labor most
needs the employment. Labor should
be solid for the plan because it tulfius

Farmers will he enabled TO market
their surplus perishible products in
stead Of letting the surplus rot and
waste. This automatically cheapens
food prices yet adding to the profits
of the producer instead of taking from
the profits
Roads make for democracy and pros
perity at the same time. They make
higher education possible for those re-
moved from the civic centers. They
are vital to the development of a great
citizenship.
That the plan proposed is the best
humanity possible to devise at this time
is suggested by the fact that after de-
voting the major part of the time of
the last legislature to the project only
four members of the lawmaking body
voted against it-one member Of the
house and three senator's.
Another good argument for the
measure is that it is the most thorough.

plishnd by an Oklahoma legislature
