BY that means he sends his get-rich-
quick propaganda into nearly every
community of the country and is
drawing money from all quarters OF
the United States. One of them
sent out $75 worth of kilograms one
day and got $4,000 in response"
Mr.. Barnes discusses the scheme
of "the discredited Arctic explorer,
Petroleum Producers Association"
representing a merger Of more than
200 oil companies most Of which were
defunct and in which the public had
already invested without hope of gain
about $1O0,000OO0."
DIR. Cooks method was to merge
these companies and on the theory
that "once a sucker always q suck
err" it would be easy to induce in
vestors to send good money after bad
by converting their worthless stock
that guaranteed at least ten gushers
year. 1t is not claimed that all the
promotion in FL Dorado and Smack
over is fraudulent, for it is well
known that there is much of a legiti-
mate nature in the development of
those wonderful oil fields. It is the
financial gangster, however, whom
the writer in the magazine has pillor-
led numerically. The public is warn
ed against the methods pursued by
those who have been deceiving the
public with worthless guarantees of
immense fortunes in a short time.
"The promotion papers all come
from Texas" says Mr.. Barnes, "be-
cause Arkansas has Blue Sky Law
that will not permit famboyant ad-
vertising Of these promoters in that
state"
lie adds, ut would be worth while
for prospective buyers of Smackover
promotion stocks to inquire of the Ar
kansas Banking Department wheth-
er these stocks can be sold in that
state"
Political bees have begun to buzz
and the 1924 primary gives promise
of being even more spirited than
that of 1922. One feature of the long
list Of possibilities is that most Of the

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, April 9-The World
Work for April contains an article,
"Dr. Cooks Discovery of OIL" which
is of peculiar interest to many people
in Arkansas. The story, by John X.
Barnes, discusses new methods en-
ployed by stock promoters in a new
oil field and relates how the discred-
tied "discoverer" OF the North Pole,
recently discovered" oil.
Additional interest attaches to the
article because of the recent arrest
of DR.. Cook on an indictment charg-
ing him with fraud in connection
with the sale of oil stock. DIR. Cook
has been involved more or less in pro-
motion schemes in the FL Dorado and
smackOyer field as well as in Texas
and some of his agents were operat-
ing in Little Rock a few months ago,
in an effort TO convert the stock of
certain companies into new COM
pany, by the payment of bonus.
These agents were apparently doing
very wen for themselves until the
Bank Commissioner got on their trail
when they speedily left the state for
greener pastures.
Worlds Work gives the Bank Com
mission credit for protecting the peo-
pie in Arkansas from the schemes OF
money grabbing promoters. 1t is an
interesting fact that an average OF
only one company in a hundred paid
dividends. The fever OF oil specula
ti0n subsidized more than year age
except as our citizens have been in.
terested in the development of the
new Arkansas fields. In discussing
the situation in this state Mr.. Barnes
says:
Down in Arkansas there Is not
as much wealth as in California and
the roads are not as good, and fur
thermore Arkansas has Blue Sky
law to reckon with, 50 the promoter
there makes use Of the mails and the
telegraphs, with Fort Worth. Texas

men mentioned ass candidates OF
probable candidates for Governor re-
side in Little Rock. Virgil c. Petite
president of the Arkansas Power Cor
poration, is receiving much encour-
agement. Mr.. Petite is former res
dent of JonesbOro and is the secre-
tary of the State Democratic Central
Committee. To all he gives the same
reply when asked if he will be n can
didate, He states that the Office
should seek the man and not the man
seek the Office. Another name promi-
nently mentioned is that OF former
Congressman II. NJ. Jacoway, who is
now connected with a Little Rock
banking institution Mr.. Jacoway,
until recently was a resident of Oar
danelle. T. NJ. Mehaffey, promi.
nent attorney Of Little Rock, presi-
dent of the last Constitutional Con-
vention and a former resident Of Sa-
line county, is often mentioned as a
candidate. Congressman W. A. Old
field of Batesvillle is said to be in
receptive mood. Congressman Old
field has not been in Little Rock for
some time and the information con
cerning him as a gubernatorial posi-
bility comes from outside sources.
Jacob r. Wilson of FL Dorado, pres
ident of the 1923 Senate is also CON
sidering making the race. Senator
Wilson is prominent in labor circles
and would have the solid support of
Union labor should he become a can
didate. In addition TO these the
list Of possible candidates includes
the names of Joe Ferguson, state
treasurer, and Jim G. Ferguson, com
missioner of Mines, Manufacture and
Agriculture Herbert II. Wilson, com
missioner of State Lands, Highways
and improvements; Lee Cazort of
Clarkesville, former Speaker of the
House; Clarence p. Newton, private
secretary to Governor T. G. McRae;

of the First Chancery District; Tom

John NJ. Quarles, of Phillips county;

received from the United States for
all purposes in connection with the
Guard is approximately $250,000.
The state ON the other hand has ap-
propriated for the ensuing two years
only 100000. which covers the ex-
pense of armories and state officers

the National Guard organizations of
