OIL GUSHER AT
MExIA CHANGES
TOWN INTO CITY
Prices Soar rs Boom Strikes VII
laee-Hard Bed on Floor
Cost s3-Opcn Gambling.

Mexia, Texas, Jan 19.-(By The
ASSOCIATED Press. Overnight a
tented city arose. From an appar-
emily sleepy little tow nof 3 900 pop
ulation in October, 1921, where
old settlers farmed for a living and
eked out a bare existence from
their lands; where they rode COW
horses to town" and hitched them
TO hitching post and where even
the town hall bell had not tolled for
years because of the cobb webs
and bird nests-to a bustling city
of 10000 people, and all in a few
months, this is the recent record of
Mexia, an old time Texas town,
which is feeling the effects of the
numerous oil developments in the
southwest.
The population now consists of
an assortment foil field followers
and thousands OF men and women
seeking employment, leaving an
old field for the new, coming on
trains~from all parts of the United
States, or in wagons, trucks or
horseback" some bringing their
assortment of household goods and
camping outfits and finding from
ten to a hundred men for every
job, and no place available for
spending the night.
Prices Soar.
Consequently because of the ex-
horbitapt prices charged for a
room, if one were lucky en0ugh to
secure one, hundreds of men, fav-
ored by the long-continued mild
winter are sleeping on the grass
along railroad tracks, public park
ing places and, in fact, anywhere
they could. Overnight a bed in a
tent marked "a place to flop"
; SCARED from so cents a night to So.
"A night in crude plank structure

fellow or the hundreds of others in
the single room cost S.. Prices
charged the few who were lucky
enough to get in one of the few pri-
waite dwellings vary, but all were
high enough to satisfy the most
fastidious millionaire. But men
are glad to get a bed at any price
and many could not find shelter ex-
cept that provided by nature.
Rail traffic jumped hundreds of
per cent. There are two trunk
lines, the Houston & Texas Central
and the Trinity and Brazos Valley
leading through here and passen-
ger traffic is very heavy while
freight trains are frequently seen
running three abreast, so heavy is
the demand for oil machinery. One
road is said to have spent $780,
600 in enlarging its facilities.
Costly Water.
The water situation is not alto
gether what could be desired. The
water was procured from a spring
a short distance from town, and
although good water, it was nearly
as high in price as gasoline. Some
oil man, however, came along and
drilled an oil well right side by
side with the spring, tapping" the
water supply so badly that lately
it has been entirely stopped. Water
wagons have been reQuisitioned
and although they are busy all day

ITO the extent that private enter
prs is thus hampered in obtain
ing <1e necessary capital there is
a tet$A>cy for more and more en-
terprises to be driven into public
ownership in order to obtain a SINH
lar advantage. The extension OF
the principal to any new line of
business eliminates private COM
petition, and tends to create govern
ment monopoly.

of the small investor and forces
him into less sound and more spec

prices which go to make up our
present high cost of living"

PLATE PRINTERS SEE
COUNTERFEIT FLOOD
Attack Bill to Replace Bureau
Hand Presses as Danger
GUS Legislation.

Characterizing the item in the
Treasury appropriation bill which
provides for replacing hand plate
presses with power presses at the
Bureau Of Engraving as danger
Gus legislation" representatives Of
the plate printers union will urge
that the item be stricken from the
bill and considered as separate
legislation.
The plate printers claim that
efforts to have the item slipped
through as rider to the appro-
priation bill is unfair to the public
and to plate printers at the bureau.
Chairman Madden of the Appro-
priations Committee, 1t is pointed
out, introduced a bill for replacing
the hand plate presses with power
presses some time ago, but the bill
was never reported out from COM
mittee. 1t is now believed by the
printers that he Is trying to slip
his bill through by the rider on the
appropriation bill.
To support their claim that the
rider on the appropriations bill is
dangerous legislation" the plate
printers declare that there will be
a flood Of counterfeit notes II
power presses are installed. The
counterfeit situation in the coun.
try, they say, Is so serious that
legislation of the character that is
to be considered should be given
a thorough hearing.
