SERVING MILLIONS Not the least of the industrial achievements of the United States is the bringing to the homes of our people modern transportation, electricity, gas, oil and coal, whose benefits are not counted in comfort alone. , - These advantages are enjoyed by the public because capital saw a profit in them for itself. With its usual vision it saw that the people wanted these conveniences and facilities, although they had not generally had the initiative to provide them for themselves from public funds. Here is an essential industry which serves 125,000,000 people and provides employment for several millions of workers. Neither is its ownership limited to a small group of wealthy men, one electric, gas and water system alone , having 45,000 stockholders, including 70 per cent of its own employes. The various utilities distribute their profits over a wide area. ' While there may have been abuses in the way of high : rate and faulty service, it has been proven that private ownership is usually satisfactory, so much so that public ownership has never taken deep root in the United States. And it is unlikely that expansion would have been as i;api'd as it lias been had the capital all come from public treasuries. Under the circumstances it would seem to be wisdom on the part of state and federal governments to regulate only where regulation is necessary, and to avoid making so vital an industry the pawfi of politics. "ALFALFA BILL" Oklahoma is a picturesque and spectacular state. Her .peoplo are picturesque and spectacle-loving. Her oil fields and gushers are more so. Even her governors are pictures que. No other state so consistently peoples its executive mansion with "characters" as does Oklahoma. , The country has not forgotten "Cowboy Jack" Walton and his celebrated barbeque inaugural. And Governor Walton was but one of a string of eight "characters" to fill the office 'of governor of Oklahoma, the lately inaugurated "Alfalfa Bill" -Murray being 'the eighth. "Professional hillbilly" and "self-appointed backwoods Moses promising to lead the Oklahoma farmers back to prosperity" are the highly descriptive phrases applied to "Alfalfa Bill.". That nickname ho does not resent; on the . contrary he encourages it. His inauguration was planned so as to paint him as a simple farmer, riding to the capital on borrowed money, moving into the executive mansion tho' big house with no other possessions than the clothes on his back and his famous wagonload of books. It is a character he has played for years. As a matter of fact, Governor Murray is a student ami; n very shrewd politician. He has been cotton-picker, cowboy, " farmer, school teacher, lawyer, and politician. He drafted the laws of the Chickasaw Indian Nation and was president -of the convention which drafted Oklahoma's constitution; authorship of its dozens of freak provisions being ascribed to him. Some years ago ho lost all of his money in an ill fated American expedition to colonize a land grant in Bolivia. Men who are actually worth more than they are getting usually hustle out and get it. 150 MILES OF HIGHWAY WILL BE IMPROVED (Continued r.in rago One) ' n lulling approximately 13.300 ruble yards of broken stone In stock pile.

STACKLAND Income Tax Facts NO. 0 In the making of an Income-tax re turn for the year 1930, taxpayers of every class, business and professional men, wage, earners, and farmers, should present to themselves lor con sideration the following questions: Did you lecelve any Interest on bank deposits? Did you have any property from which you receive rent? Did you receive any Income In the form of dividends or interest from stocks or bonds? Did ycu receive any bonuses during the year? Did you act as broker In any trans actions from which you received com c'siona? Arc you Interested In any partner ship or firm from which you receive any income? Have you any Income from royalties or parents? Have you minor children who are working? "Have you control of the earnings of such children. If so, the amounts must bo included In your return of income. Did you receive any directors' fees or trustees' fees in the course of the year? Answers to all of these questions are necessary to determine whether a person has a net income sufficiently large to require that he or she file a return. If single, or married and not living with wife or husband, and the net Income for 1030 was $1,600 or mere, or the gross Income $5,000 or more, a return is required, regardless of whether -the net Income is non taxable by reason of the personal ex emptions and credit for dependents. A person who was single during the taxable year and whose net Income was less than $1,500 and whose gross Income was less than $5,000 Is not required to file a return. Neither are returns required of married couples living together whose aggregate net lnccmo was less than $3,500 and whose aggregate gross income was less than $5,000. In Washington By Herbert Pluminer WASHINGTON This voteless city of almost httlf-a-mllllon persons has a novel way of letting its voice be heard when laws are being prepared under which It must live. And the method is unlike that of any Owher municipality in the United States. Congress and the federal com mission 1 which governs Washington are alike ready to heed the voice of the "citizen's association." There are about 60 of these asso ciations scattered over the approxi mate 70 square miles of the District of Columbia. They are, composed of white men and women. The negroes, also oganlzed, are grouped in what are known as civic societies. , They are nothing more than neigh borhood gatherings, banded primarily for the benefit of a small area, but they nevertheless are effective. NOT "FINNY" An ex-chnlrman of the district commissioners those- three men appointed by the- president to- govern Washington Is authority for this j statement: j "I used to think these llttlecltl- ; zen's associations were funny. I won- j I dered if they thought they were real- i Ily doing anything. . . . Soon I found I myself looking around for the little citizen's associations to find out what I I they had to say on particular things. ! . . . And during my term as commis- ; , sh.uer, I think that what the cltt- I i en'3 associations had to say was the controlling factor in the decision. Thoy are both rural and urban. And there are distinctive groups. Take, for Instance, the Dupont j Clrclo association, located in the j heart of the diplomatic section of j the capital. It emphasizes the nation- ! al view of Washington, its goal is to promote a worthy and beautiful na tional capital. Suffrage has no place in Its program, and It has steadfastly refused to folloxv the other associa tions in their fight for the ballot. The Georgetown group is another. It refuses membership to women. But the women got together and or ganized one of their own. Now both wene in harmony, and are the only two associations to cover the same territory. AM WHOLE CITY It was but natural as these asso ciations grew that they would inter est themselves in questions affecting tne wnoie cuy. t Thus, some 20 years ago, there was organized a Federation of Citizen's associations, composed of two dele gates frcm each of the smaller groups. This federation meets every two : weeks than congress is In session, ' and .once a month at other times. At these meetings recommendations from ! tho member associations on lAlls and j appropriation measures before con- j gress, or on measures they would like to rce considered, are threshed out. Officers and all others serve with- 1 out pay. ' ; Ir. is generally agreed that these ' little associations show the power of t the voice in government, divorced en tinny from the vote and from remu- ! utrutlve office and activity. !
