boundary dispute between Texas and

of the United States supreme court
in appointing receiver for the lands
and property thereon, it was indicated
hero today.
1t has been the desire OF Texas
claimants to have the federal su.
preme court TO decide the issues,
rather than indulge in interminable
controversy through action Of feder-
al courts in the two states, which
already have named n receiver from
each state.
Texas rangers were sent to the
disputed area to maintain order and
also to protect the interests OF Texas
claimants until such time as the
federal supreme court could definite

fecting contested oil lands in the

states from removing any Of the
machinery now used in taking gas
or oil from the land. and ordered
the appointment of Jacob NJ.

er TO take possession OF the lands
and property.
The injunction was granted at
the motion of the government,
which asked to be made q party

tory OF war under President Taft
was ordered TO take possession OF
the oil property within IS days and
after complete investigation, re-
port to the supreme court relative
to the development Of the contest
cd lands. He also was authorized
to operate or close any OF the
wells if advisable. His bond was
fixed at 100000.
The boundary controversy arose
after the discovery OF valuable
oil and gas deposits in the Red
River region and recently became
so heated that armed conflict be-
tween the states was threatened.
Under the provision OF the iniunc
tion Texas, or its Representatives

OPERATION OF PLU RAJ
MEMBERSHIP PLAN IN
THE NEW CIVIC BODY

References have been made in con.
nection with the plans for the expan.
sion Of the Ardmore Chamber OF
Commerce TO the so-called plural
membership plan. Further explana.
ton of this plan was given today at
the campaign headquarters, in order
have been in the minds of prospective
have been i nthe minds Of prospective
subscribers. The questions which
have been asked have concerned the
degree Of dominance which the plural
pledges may involve and the opera.
ton of the plan.
In explaining the plural pledge idea,
the campaign director placed empha,
sis on the fact that no matter how
large number of memberships a
concern may subscribe for, there is
not the slightest danger that 1t
will undertake to control the cham.
Der, nor is there any way in which
1t could do this il it sought to.
In the first place, the plural sub.
scriber has only one. vote. the same
as the individual Plural memberships
acquire the voting power only when
then have been assigned outright TO
individuals. In the second place. the
plural memberships in the new cham.
Der will always be in the minority
and since each individual has as
much voting power as the largest
corporation, the individuals can al
ways control the organization by force
Of members.
In brief, the plural membership
plan is that which provides q method
by which those having the greatest
responsibility toward the community
may share in the promotion Of its
welfare in proportion to the measure
Of their responsibility. Under the plan,
every membership has an equal valu
alton and equal rights. IT permits OF
no pooling of votes, or proxies.
Those whose investment in the com.
munity is large are asked TO sub
scribe to number OF memberships
ranging from two upward, on the
theory that they should DO more
than the individual of smaller means
and less investment The plan enables
men, firms corporations, banks
churches, societies, clubs and labor
unions to express their interest In
the community and give 1t the service
of qualified men whose talents are
especially desired, but who are moi
in a position TO enroll as member.

Not the least Of the values Of thi.
