TOM OWEN IN RACE

TON OWEN in a telegram to the Ardmoreite an
nounces that he positively will run for governor
subject to the action of the democratic primary.
Ovens telegram follows:
81 wish to emphatcaly and positively deny the
Statement recently appearing in Tulsa World that
will withdraw as candidate for governor The
final draft OF my platform will be ready for pubca-
ton and circulation within few days"
The Ardmoree has made the statement before
that Tom Owen ii nominated for governor will make
an acceptable candidate He is a former chief JUS
tice of the supreme court and has long been zeal
Gus servant OF the people.
Mr. Ovens announcement will be hailed with
delight by his followers in Carter county. There
can be no question but that he will roll up formid-
able support.
1t is to be regretted that reports have been circu-
lated that Mr. Owen would withdraw from the race.
We are disposed however TO take up the cudgel for
the Tulsa World and other papers that have printed
this report SO lar as know the Tulsa World
is the only paper that has stated positively that
Owen would withdraw
Mr. Owen has no one to blame but his friends
for this statement If the statment had come from
other it would have been promptly discred-
tied. If the present announcement of Mr.. Owen
came from man less sincere we should hazard a
guess that the report OF withdrawal circulated
purposely to draw out sentiment for his candidacy
As the matter now stands the gubernatoria situ-
alton is even complex. Senator j. Elmer Thorn
as has denied that he will run for governor. Bot
Wilson has denied that he will for governor
Bob Wilson is still in the race with both feet Jack

U. S. Will Appeal
Rule Admitting
Chinese Seamer,
Steamship Companies Gain
in First Round; Get Right
TO Send Asiatics Ashore
Without Filing Bonds

The United States will appeal from
the decision of Judge Julius NJ. Mayer
in the Federal District Court holding
that Chinese seamen are entitled to
shore leave without the filing of bonds
by the steamship companies for their
safe return, according to Morris Streu-
sand, special assistant district attorney.
The ship lines won the first round
when they obtained the ruling from
Judge Mayer that the Secretary of
Labor had no power to make Rule 10
of Section so of the immigration act
of 1917 This held that Asiatics, ex-
cept Japanese who are admitted under
the gentlemen agreement" cannot
leave their ships without bond The
question was argued last week before
Judge Mayer.
AS the situation stands at present,
bona-fde Chinese seamen can go
ashore provided a writ is obtained
from the court for each seaman or
group of seamen, which may be
secured by the steamship company.
The matter will shortly be taken to
the Circuit Court of Appeals, where
government officials hope to get a
reversal.
The decision Of Judge Mayer was
rendered in a suit involving the case
of Ho Chung. employed on the steamer
Mount Clinton of the United Ameri-
can Lines. 1t was admitted that he
was bona-fde seaman.
1t is estimated that ordinarily there
are about 2,100 to 2,400 Chinese on
board vessels in the port of New York.
Most Of these at present are not per-
mitted to land.

Sea Captain Urges Bonus Plan
AS Aid to Efficiency ON Ships

Better seamen, who are interested in
their work, are one of the greatest
needs of the American merchant ma
rine. The drift of the ablest men
away from the ships should be stopped.
Efficient workers will overcome any
handicaps due to higher wages. One
of the most effective metho DDS of bring
ing about this desirable state of af-
fairs is to establish the bonus system,
whereby members of the crew partici-
pate in the success of the vessel. These
propositions are put forward in the
September issue of "The Neptune Log"
the organ of the Neptune Association
of Masters and Mates, by we'll known
sea writer, Captain Gershon Bradford.
He says:
at is idle to argue that Yankee
genius and enterprise can make up the
differential between our wages and
those abroad But it could make a
good stab at it. 1t competes success
fully with foreigners in many lines,
but they are highly systematized and
employ the ablest men. With shipping
there are altogether too many of the
best men leaving the sea.
Now when a great railroad job is
won by an American contractor he car
ries picked corps of executives, even
down to timekeeper, paying them
splendidly as measured by the Ameri-
can standard, even though it be in
China, and he competes with the world.
81 hold the opinion that the best
men in positions of responsibility at
good wages would pay better dividends
in an uninsured ship than other men
in such positions at low wages. We
see strong evidence that the ship own
ers do not take this view. This is not
wholly surprising, but you would
rather expect to see the underwriters
to, considering the amount of property
at stake. In order to make the good
wage proposition an advantage to all
concerned substantial percentage Of
these wages should be in the form of a
bonus dependent on voyage free from
delays and claims. Seagoing is a
gamble at best, and this would add q
further stake. But who enjovss taking
chance better than sailorman
"All comparisons of wages should, al
though they never are, be made with
those of American service similar in
character ashore, and not with for
eign shipping scale. A mates family
does not live in Norway.
And it cannot be said that the wages
are the only source of inefficiency
aboard ship. There is in many ships d
lack of discipline, a general lack of
tone. Men naturally like snappy
ship, even if it involves more work and
more restrictions. The toughest clip
pers reputed to have the hardest men
aft seldom fail to ship men readily;
they always enjoyed telling thereafter

Cloud or the Herald Of the Morning.

Canadian Merchant
Marine Proves Bic
Loss 10 Dominion
Chamberlain Points Out Diff
ficulties Faced by Gov
ernment; Company Report
Urges Sale of the Ships

Operation Of the Canadian merchant
marine has proved to be heavy loss
to the Dominion, with the result that
the company's annual report urges
sale of the vessels at the best terms to
private owners, according to an analy-
sis of the situation made by Eugene T.
Chamberlain, OF the transportation d.
vision of the Department of Commerce
of the United States
The company showed an operating
profit of $l,056. 600 in 1919, sizes, 900
in 1920, but loss of s2,210,o0o in 1921
The total loss in 1921, including depre-
citation, reserves and interest,
amounted to S9,1l6,000 after deduction
of insurance for the lost ship Canadian
Exporter.
The Dominion government organized
its feet as corporation the Canadian
Government Merchant Marine (Ltd. -
with q capital stock of S1,000,000 in
10000 shares of 500 each (4,909
issued), reduced by the loss of one
ship to $480,90o. The Canadian gov
ernment was authorized in 1918 to loan
money to the corporation for the con-
struction of ships, secured by first
mortgage on the ships and by the com
pany's notes to the government draw
ing interest at "a per cent The first
of its feet was delivered in February
1919, the last on January 20, 1929. The
feet on December 81, 1921, comprised
sixty-five steamers of 3S0,097 dead
weight tons, which cost $73,571,S42,
plus S5,096,s26 interest accrued and
unpaid--in all, $78,66s,66S; it is carried
on the books of the company at $780,
233,577, which is conceded to be far
above its value. The company's report
for 1921, issued in June, 1922, states
that the average cost of the feet was
S1,911 per deadweight ton, and that the
present cost in Canada and Great
Britain of building similar types of
ships is from S63 to S110 per dead
weight ton, so that the fair replace
ment value is $75.
The company's report recommends
that all of the companys ships under
1000 deadweight tons and five some.
what larger--in all, 81 out of 65--be
disposed of because, while no doubt
exists as to the material value to the
governments railways of cooperative
merchant marine service, the most
helpful routes can be maintained with
the fleet reduced, and, as the larger
vessels (261,0 lightweight tons) have
better operating ratio, losses during
present conditions would be less, and
under improving conditions net profits
would earlier be obtained" The re-
| port also recommends that for Ave
years the interest due the government
| shall be payable only il earned, after
allowing for, depreciation.
