That is true. But another very in-
teresting question is raised. If high
rents disappear only because of a de-
creased demand for houses, then the
harm has already been done the com
tnunlty. What the World seeks to
avoid is a vancant houses. What it
has Insisted from the first lshere ad-
mitted: That high rents do drive peo-
ple from the city. The residences of
Tulsa are filled at the present mo-
ment. Business is good. Labor is
employed, tn a general sense it may
be stated that Tulsa has not as ye
suffered greatly from this cause.
But do the people generally under-
stand that like causes always bring
results? Then they must understand
that the drouth general throughout
the entire Southwest, will bring a
season of reduced earning power to
labor and capital. Labor must live

What is true of Tulsa is true of
every other city in the state that has
been in a growing and prosperous con
dition for the past few years. That
rents ia Altus are exhorbitant,
pecially in the business district, has
beee a matter of comment for more
than a year, but no move has been
made to reduce them.
There are business men here who
are paying from $75 to $100 a month
for store rooms that ought to rent
for $♦«> to $60. Office rents loo,
wh«e there are no accommodations
or aonveniences whatever, have been
as high in most instances as that of
the cities where there is every con
venience.
Residence rent has also been in
flated to the degree where it was all
but impossible for the day laborer,
the clerk or the office man to secure
a decent place for his family and
provide for them with the necessities
of life. This condition however has
chaaged very materially in the past
two months, until it is now possible
to rent a decent residence at a reas-
onable price.

offices should get together at once
