Smith has signed a contract with the McNaught Syndicate and will write a series of articles on unemployment, highway construction, transportation problems, lame duck congresses, water power development and ethers of vital importance. The people of this country will read with interest these opinions front c.ne of our greatest citizens.

President Hoover seems determin- , ed to put through the ratification of th world court and says so in a ■ special message. He will urge its J adoption to that point where the ' senate can be called in special 'sessi n after March 4th and work 'out any details. Whether its J adoption will help or not is doubti d by many high authoiities but it probably cant hurt any thing. Probably would have been much better for us all if it had been adopted ten years ago. Efforts will be made in the coming legislature to change the tax- ' ing laws so that the burdens will 1 be more fairly distributed. Those in charge of this realize the importance of their assignment and have been working diligently. They will be wise indeed to follow Ilan Simms. Evans Woollen and John S. McFadden, for they are not only excellent lawyers, but 1 business men of the highest type 1 and they have at heart the best interests of all the people of the state. ■' ——f .. .

If congress ccnlinuys to make unemployment, the drouth and ether matters of vital importance p partisan issue, you can bet your last thin dime they won t get far. ilf they propose to put up some measures .just for the purpose of crowing in the next campaign, ■'look what we did." they will be ! opposed by both democrats and . progressives. Perhaps thats what several of them want, to have the credit for trying and then defeated. Either way they won't feol the public.

LURE OF RICHES GREAT AID TO OIL PROMOTERS Oklahoma City Gushers Cause Influx of Stock Manipulators Oklahoma City, Dec. S—(UP) j The "gel rich quick'’ lure of oil proI liming areas Is irresistible.. Within two years after the discovery of the Oklahoma City pool, scores of promoters, and confidence i men have edged into the ranks of I legitimate operators to reap huge I profits. Elaborate offices opened shortly after news of the farmers wild Mary Sudik and Morgan-Stout gushers was announced. Each new promoter had new | schemes for the gullible public. Many of these operators have been under the surveillance of postal authorities for a year. More recently the Better Business Bureau! here has opened an investigation of I alleged fraudulent promotion. First Blow The government struck its first ’ blow last summer by arresting S.; E. J. Cox. Cox a debonair businessman, served a 33-month sentence in Leavenworth with Dr. Frederick Cook, arctic explorer, in a Fort Worth oil fraud scheme. Operation of Cox's Universal oili and gas company, now in receivership, is typical of many operations ] here. Roy St. Louis, United States l distiict attorney, said. “Loop holes in state blue sky laws makes mail fraud our only recourse for prosecution, ' Lewis said. H. G. Mitchell, head of the Okla-1 ai nia City Petter Business Bureau, told the United Press the mulcting j of the public is a detriment to raising capital for oil development. Already, retail merchants complain of i a shortage in purchasing power by wage earners who have invested money in unit shares. The real hitch to the share holder is proration. For conserva’ion and market puryeses. Oklahoma producers co-oper-iting with the state corporation •cmmi-slon. limit the production of oil on a proration basis. In the Oklahoma City field, the current order requires all wells
