ZANEIS WANTS
FEDERAL AND INTER-
STATE CONFERENCES
HELD IN THIS CITY

Pointing out that the benefits to be
obtained by having the Federal and
Interstate Conference on Rural Edu-
cation and Country Life held in ard
more would be infinitely greater than
the cost in financing the same, Mrs.
Kate Gait Zanies, county school su-
perintendent announced today that
she would put forth an effort to in
tereft the city and county officials
and the leading citizens of Ardmore
in this proposition.
The cost in bringing it here prob
ably would not exceed 81 900, she
said
The benefits TO be realized would be
in the thorough understanding on the
part of the rural folk and the city
and county officials in regard 10
rural life and education, Some of
tho leading educators and savants of
the country would address the as
sembly on these topics.
Mrs. Zanies returned Tuesday from
the conference which was held at
Durant, and where, she declared, mat
ters pertaining to rural life and edu
cation were expounded exhaustively
Everyone who attended the confer
ence gained a world Of knowledge
from it, she said. Most Of those
who attended were teachers.
The trouble is that the teachers
can not bring back the good word
of the conference and instill it into
the minds Of the community at large,
she explained. 1T would be toe
great a task
Mrs. Zanies explained that the con
ference ought to be held here Sc
that the people can 60 to hear the
educators talk and learn first hand
Just what the problems OF rural ed
ucation are and how to cope witt
them. The fact is that rural chill
dren are not educated as they should
be, she asserted
In the event that the conference is
held at Ardmore, the counties nearby
could send their officials and lead
ing business men as well as teachers
to get the full benefit Of it,

pany in the Healdton and Fox fields
Runs which have not been transferred
were not taken by the Sinclair people
on account Of the inaccessibility Of the
Sinclair lines to the properties. The
Empire curtailed its runs from Heald-
ton some time ago Prior to the trans
fer TO the Sinclair interests, its
daily runs in the Healdton and Fox
fields averaged about 1000 barrels.
The Sinclair company is coming
strong in the southern Oklahoma fields.
In the south Duncan district, its runs
average 6000 barrels daily. including
production from the Empire leases on
the Surber, Storey, and Cantrell farms
and also the Amerada 40 acre lease
which is regarded as one of the best
producing in the field, The lines of
the company also run in the north
Duncan field Duncan crude is run
through an S-inch line TO Hastings
where it connects with the trunk line,
A recent announcement made by the
Sinclair officers at Tulsa stated that
the company had purchased fifty $1,000
barrel steel storage tanks to be erect
ed in the Cushing Okla, and Florence
and Humboldt, Kansas, fields. An
official of the company who was
present in Ardmore recently stated
that very few large tanks would be
erected in the local fields on account
Of the fact that all the Sinclair lines
run north, and for that reason it
would be of greater benefit to the
company to have its crude stored
in fields further north. He pointed out
that crude from the local fields could
be run into storage at Cushing, where
as the manner in which the Sinclair
pipe lines operate would not permit
the running Of crude from northern
fields into storage in tanks located
further south. Also, he stated, the Sin
clair refines its crude at points north
Of the Texas and southern Oklahoma
production
The Sinclair people are not run
ming any of their Texas production al
the present time but are placing i
into storage in tanks at the pools. The
same conditions exist at Duncan, etate(
the official and a large amount o
the crude purchased in the local field'
is being run into storage in tanks al
ready erected.

LOWER STANDARD
OF LIVING NOW In
VOGUE IN THE i. s.

Milwaukee Wis, June 2s.-The "peo.
pie Of America are accepting a lower
standard Of living" said John Ihlder.
manager of the civic development de-
partment Of the chamber Of commerce
of the United States, in an address
before the national conference Of So
cial workers.
According to our pre-war standard
of living We are probably million
and quarter houses short"
Mr.. Ihlder explained that apparently
existing accommodations have been
sub-divided each family accepting less
than in pre-war days. He pointed out
that while last year saw less con-
struction than in many years, the de-
mand for bath tubs was as high as It
has ever gone, reasoning that thous-
ands Of single family dwellings were
converted into muti-family dwellings.
The change in living standards, he
asserted has hit the so-called middle
classes harder than either the rich or
| the poor. The poor Mr.. 1hlder said,
were accustomed to the crowded condi-
tions, although, during the war, with
high wages even the poor had bettered
themselves. The steps being taken TO
remedy conditions in pre-war days
were not being continued, he said.
! Building prices will not go down
to pre-war levels, Mr.. Ihlder said.
But that is not essential" he con-
tinued What is essential is that
they become stabilized SO that a
house erected today will not have TO
compete with as good house erected
at smaller cost five or ten years
hence To this new price level we
shall adjust ourselves"

Argument Is Begun in
Invested Capital Case
y. s. May Have to Return Mil
lions in Taxes on Increased
Stock Values

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.--Arguments
were begun to-day in the Supreme
Court in the Invested capital case"
characterized by Solicitor General
Frierson as "the most important legal
suit from the standpoint Of govern
mcnt finances in decade" Whe ther
the government will be forced to re-
turn hundreds Of millions Of dollars
paid as income taxes depends on The
U.tcome.
The immediate cause at issue before
the court is the appeal of the La Belle
Iron Works from ruling of the Bu-
reau Of Internal Revenue, refusing to
allow it to treat as invested capital the
value Of ore lands which it had pur-
chased In 1904 for 100000 and which
by 1917 had increased to $40 100000.
The government agents maintained
that the Increase in realty was profit
and should be taxed as such. The com
pany added the increase to it's capital
invested and claimed the normal de-
duction OF I per cent, paying under
protest the additional tax Of $l,0S1 900.
The question Of whether a stock divi-
dend is taxable arose in a new form
In. tho present case, the increased
value of the ore lands having been
repre- sented on the books Of the cor
poration, according to tho govern
ment's brief, since 1912 by "stock is
sued a. stock dividend"

N. Y..Chicago Air Mail
Slower Than by Train
Cost of $5 a Ton Mile Against
( Gents Over Land Routes
Also Explained by Madden

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The speed
lest method of transporting mail be-
tween New York and Chicago is by
train, not by air, Chairman Madden,
of the Appropriations subcommittee,
declared in the House to-day in ex-
planning provisions of the postofflce
appropriation bill, carrying total Of
$573,964,721.
Cost of airplane mail is ct the rate
Of IS ton mile, compared with rail
rate Of seven cents a ton mile, Mr..
Madden said, and if all mail were car
ried by air the cost would be 100000
around $3.50 100000. Aside from the
folk might think so, there was no time
saving by air in the New York Chicago
service.
"a letter for this service must be
placed in the postotfice at Chicago not
later than 3:45 p. m.," he said. Some
time between that hour and midnight
it goes to the dying field, eleven miles
distant, leaves the next morning at 7
o'clock and by good luck reaches New
York at p. NJ. It goes out on de-
livery the following morning. So about
forty eight hours elapse between post
ing and delivery. The time limit on
fast mail train delivery is twenty-four
hours, just one half.
"There is no advantage in air-mail
service to justify the present expendi-
turc by the government. unless it be
the experience acquired by airmen for
military service"
