MATHEWS URGES THAT STATE
SHOULD HAVE SYSTEMATIC
METHOD TO BOOST '
STATE FARMS
By Maws' 8pacUI Barvlea
OKLAHOMA CITY Aug a—
From an economical as well as hu-
mane standpoint a city and county
municipal (arm for the employment
of Inmates- of the city and - county
Jails would be the most beneficent
investment these municipalities
could make in the opinion of W
D Matthews state commissioner of
corrections and charities Mr
Matthews has investigated a ma-
jority of the city and county jails
of the state He has come to this
conclusion as a result of his knowl-
edge of conditions of these places as
well as of the condition of the in-
mates Commissioner Matthews’ idea is
to provide a place to - take care of
the old people committed to these
places and In addition take the
city and county prisoners there and
put them to work on the farm pro-
ducing something Take the women
as well as the men There Is some-
thing all can do he says A farm
of sufficient size managed right
could yield enough produce of all
kinds to keep all busy and make
the institution self-sustaining In
this way the younger ones could
furnish the care and keep for the
old people unable to work says the
commissioner
Many other states are doing this
says -Mr Matthews and it is a suc-
cess It is likely that he will have
something of the kind to recom-
mend to the legislature at its next
session
The same plan is being used in
the management of the state peni-
tentiary at McAlester and it is a
success

Congress For Drastic
- Law to Curtail H Cof L
Br News 8pmU1 Service
WASHINGTON August 9 — Ad-
dressing congress today and propos-
ing remedies o rhitk the high rost
of living Presilon: Wlls-m declared
that existing laws were Inadequate
and that high prices were not Justi-
fied by shortage of supply present
or prospective but were crested In
msny bases ’artificslly sad deliber-
ately” by ‘vicious practices”
The president recommended that
the food control set be extended
to peace time operation and that
congress exclude from lnerstate as
well as intrastate shipment goods
which did not comply with its pro-
visions The president also recommended
that the food law be provided with
a substantial penalty for profiteer-
ing and that a cold storage law
be enacted modeled after ' the law
in New Jersey by which a time
limit be placed on cold storage
He also recommended that all
goods released from cold storage be
marked with the price prevailing
when they went into storage He
further recommended that goods in
interstate comerce be marked with
the prices at which they left tbe
producerlt would serve as a useful
example the president sugested If
congress enact legislation to control
the situation in the District of Co-
lumbia where it has unlimited au-
thority Further the president recommen-
ded a federal licensing system for
commerce which would embody
regulations to Insure competitive
selling and “prevent unconscionable
profits in the method of market-
ing’’ He also urged prompt passage
of the law pending to control se-
curity prices
Making an appeal for ratificat-
ion of the peace treaty to turn the
country from a war basis the presi-
dent said:
"There can be no peace prices
so long as our whole financial
and economic system is on a war
basis”
"A process has set In” the presi-
dent told congress ‘which is likely
unless something is done to push
prices and rents and the whole cost
of living higher and yet higher In
a vicious cycle to which there Is
no logical o( natural end
“Some of the methods by which
these prices are produced are al-
ready Illegal Borne of them crimin-
al and those who employ them will
be proceeded against but others
have not yet been brought under
the law and should be dealt with
at once by legislation”
Demands for increases of wages
accompanying the rising costs of
living the president said were
Justified ‘‘if there be no other
means of enabling men to live"
“While there is any possibility
that the peace terms may be
changed” said the president re-
ferring -to his plea for the early
ratification of the treaty so that
the country may be turned back

ciated against Germany lt Is idle
to look for permanent relief”
Surplus seocks of food and cloth-
ing in the handa of the govern-
ment the president said would bo
sold and hoarda of food in private
hands would he forced out under
the existing provisions of the food
control law
Dealers eager to reap a harvest
of raising prices who had accum-
ulated hoards the president said
would now see the disadvantage as
well as the danger of holding oft
from the new processes of distribu-
tion The normal operation of the
laws of supply and demand the
president said had been set at
naught In the cases of many neces-
sary commodities He cited the fig-
ures of the federal trade commis-
sion showing rising prices In the
face of greater stocks of food than
were on hand in the country a year
ago
CONDUCTORS WILL NOT
STRIKE LEADERS SAY
By News’ Special Service
OKLAHOMA CITY Aug 8— There
is no immediate prospect of a strike
of railroad conductors in Oklahoma
it was declared this morning by E
W Vance state representative of
the Order of Railway Conductors
and a leader in railroad circles
A statement given out yesterday
by George B Johnson secretary of
the state federation of labor to the
effect that a strike of the conduc
tors was about to bo called is erron-
eous according to Vance
“Johnson was either misquoted or
else he is badly misinformed” said
Vance
“A move for a strike of conduc-
tors would have to originate in the
local organizations Then the mat-
ter would bo referred to national
headquarters and tho referendum to
determine what action should be
taken This would require from 60
to 70 days No such alction has
been taken” Vance declared

Young Man:
Are You Running on
a i(Flat Tire ”?
Have you gone on these years and saved nothing?
Have you seen the harvest of gold produced by your
brain and brawn slip through your fingers like the
sands run through the hour glass? Have the years been
productive of nothing for you except toil disappoint-
ment and discouragement?
The Trouble
Running on a
Every man who has suffered the disappointments
of financial distress needs to pump his tires full of
the wind of progress Say to yourself: “I will establish
a bank account if it makes the hair slip I will build
a credit or break a leg in the effort I will get away
from the “flat-tire” way of living if it takes my very
life in the effort”
A few copper-bound resolutions of this kind firmly
ground into your system and presto! — the battle is
nine-tenths won
