Low Advertising Rates and
High Costs Are Ruin.
WASHINGTON. July 14 TL
'enormous increase in cost or opera
tlon, together with the impossibility
of Increasing subscription md ad
verttslng rates proportionately Us
brought about a crisis in the C, -i
man newspaper world, states 1 "in
mercial Attache Herring in a report
to the Department of Commerce
There is now an organized efiort to
induce the governor it to reduce tax-
ation affecting newspaper costs and.
according to a resolution recentlj
adopted by the Verein Deutsche! Zei
tungs Verleger, "to take strictest
measures to relieve a situation
vhereby the press is suffering from
the system of monopoly and profit, i
ring prevalent In Germany st the
present time in the wood, coal, and
other industries essential to the pro
duction of paper.' It has also been
suggested that the government *ul<
sidlze the press through the Mlnistr>
of Education, or some other ngenc >
as the loss of an active and efficient
press service would have a very det-
rimental effect upon the nation.
Ask Subsidy.
The position of the German yress
is illustrative of the situation or all
businesses and Individuals In Ger
many that are unable to pass the
enormous Increase In cost along to
the ultimate consumer. Printers'
wages, the largest item of ependlture
in the newspaper budget, have In
creased about 2100 prcent or more
over pre-war wages, and under pres-
ent conditions must be further in
creased.
Newsprint paper, which in July.
1014. cost 0.20 marks per kilogram,
is now quoted at 9 marks or more. It
is estimated that the cost of printing
machinery, printers' ing, etr.. has In-
creased about 40 times over pre-war.
Furthermore, the great Increase in
the postal, telephone and telegraph
■rvice has severely affected the pub-
lishers.
Can't Boost Ad Ants.
On the other hand, the subscrip-
tion price of • German newspapers
had had an average increase of about
1900 percent; nor has It been pos-
sible to increase advertising rates to
compensate for present operating
coats without affecting the volume
of business The Frankfurter Zel-
tung. probably tho best-known Ger-
man newspaper outside of Berlin,
now costs 36 marks monthly, for In-
stance. as against 3 marks in 1914
The economic attrition of the press
is shown by the fact that during the
month of April. 177 newspapers were
said to have closed down their shops
permanently.
It 1b. of course, difficult for Ger-
man newspapers to maintain an ade-
quate foreign staff, particularly in
high exchange countries. Unless
conditions improve the German peo-
ple may eventually become largely
dependent upon the foreign news
services of the Entente and other
foreign countries for their interna-
tional news.

PLUMB RECOVERS;
WORKERS REJOICE
CLEVELAND, July 14. ' Railroad
workers should rejoice," says an ed-
itorial In the Locomotive Engineers'
.Journal for July, "that Oleen
Plumb, the author of the Plumb Plan
and the sterling friend of labor, is
on the road to recovery froth au ill-
ness that brought his perilously near
death's door.
"He cast behind him the possibil-
ity of fame and fortune as a brilliant
corporation lawyer in order to ally
himself with the cause of railway la-
bor. He worked out a plan for the
control of the country's transporta-
tion system which stands today aa
the fairest and most practicable so-
lution of that vexed problem. In
every channel of human endeavor his
voice and his pen have continuously
voiced the cause of Industrial de-
mocracy."

PRESS REPORTS
Soviets Will Not Sell Princi-
ples For Recognition.
BERLIN, July 14. —George Chicb-
erln, commissar for foreign affairs
of the Russian soviet republic, is in
Berlin, undergoing medical treatment
after his labors at Genoa. He does
not want to be interviewed and de-
clares he is out of touch with affairs
In Moscow for the time being.
Nevertheless ho suspended his role
of a private citlfiten long enough to
pay his respects to the "word's
greatest newspaper," and to de-
nounce Its Berlin correspondent.
"The Chicago Tribune." said ths
foreign minister, "declares *1 have
said that, so long as Russia has not
been recognized by the powers, wo
will not withdraw our memorandum
of May 11, the withdrawal of which
Is demanded by America and France
as a condition of these two coun-
tries for participating In The Hague
conference on Russian affairs. The
inference is that. In case we are rec-
ognised, we may Withdraw this
memorandum.
"Never have I said that the govern-
ment of the sovlets would agree to
renounce Its principles for the sake
of concessions to be made in return
for recognition.;*
The memorandum of May 11 is the
negative reply of Russia to the de-1
mands of the
ments assembled
The news of the million dollar cor*
poration formed by the Amalgamated

tablish nine clothij/j factories in

HOWARD FAKED
STORY,CHARGE
Prosecutor Believes Man Tied
Self To Bed.
HUGO, Okla.. July 14. Charge,
that R. A. Howard, farmer, living
near here, faked the story which he
told of being attacked by three men.!
why tied him to his bed and set the i
house on fire, were made today by
J. O. McCleary, county attorney of
Choctaw county.
McCleary said that the man evl-
dently sought to fasten the blamb
upon Tom Wadlington and Arthur
Terry, against whom he was said to |
have a grudge. The men were held
in Jail, along with Mrs. Artie How-
ard. wife of the man.
Howard was grilled by officers,
but without results They declared
that his story varied each time he
told it. The men accused were able
to prove conclusively their where-
abouts, as was his wife.
The theory of McCleary Is that the
inan deliberately set the house on
fire and tied himself, trusting that
the fire would soon be discovered. It
was pointed out that one of his handR
was tied loosely.

TO THU DEMOCRATIC VOTEI<N
In announcing my candidacy for the office of corporation com-
missioner. I deem it proper and necessary to briefly mention some
things which appear to m • to be* of Interest to the taxpayers of the
state of Oklahoma.
I am convinced that my record as state auditor is sufficiently'
well knoyrn to the average voter to enable a fair estimate to be
made of what I conceive to be the duty of a public official, and
therefore shall only call attention to a few things which have marked
my incumbency of that office. I believe that a public servant should
be inost concerned about the public welfare.
Saved State #0,000,000.
During my inc umbency of the auditor's office I collected for
the state mire than $3,000,000 in back taxes tgross production and
income), and saved (In connection .w ith Fred Parkinson) $2,500,900
by protesting the 1V6 mill state tax levy of 1920, the supreme court
having recently sustained our contention that such levy was illegal.
In addition there was $732,000 of lapsed appropriations of the
l!Ufl legislative session which reverted back to the treasury, $500,000
of this amount reverting because ol my closely scrutinizing claims
>vhlch came to my office, that amount being refused because I thought
they were either illegal or at least were not caused to be made for any
reason that could be of value to the state of Oklahoma
I'niiistiiliinif ( are Mxei'cised.
I believe that 1 fully comprehend tho duties of a corporation
commissioner, and I know the matters and things which come before
the commission are of tremendous Importance to the whole body
politic. If elected corporation commissioner, I shall exercise the
same caution, painstaking care and deference to the statutes that
I exercised as state auditor. I shall to the utmost of my ability and
energy strive to act without bias. I will endeavor to be s fair unci
just public servant and not the representative of any particular
class of society.
In submitting my candidacy for corporation commissioner to the
Oklahoma democracy. I feel that I can ask Indorsement from every
voter who believes in faithful and fair performance of duties imposed
by the constitution and the statutes of this state, if my conduct of
the auditor's office has met with public approval. 1 am indeed \^oll
repaid for the services rendered. If that conduct be approved by
tli«' voters, I ask them by their ballots to give me an opportunity to
render further public service as a member of the corporation com-
mission.
Pledge Kiitiro Time and Knergj.
In submitting my candidacy to the democratic voters of Okla-
homa I make no appeal to class, but to the entire party. Promises
are easily made and as easily broken. I pledge my entire time, ail
of my energy and such ability as I posses!1* to'lair and honest public-
service, and believe my record as made warrants mo having faith
that the people believe that in making such pledge that it is done
in all sincerity.
Very respectfully.
