No road to competence is brnoothci

purchase of well chosen real estate
No man of ordinary income should
neglect to inresl a portion of his
earnings in land.
The young man who makes n
payment on a piece of property and
assumes further payments will not
throw away his money foolishly. A
liability of that kind teaches a man
to save, gives him a standing in the
community, awakens civic pride in
his bosom, and makes him a better
citizen.
More than sixty years ago the re-
latives of John Hunt of New York
tried to have him declared insane
because he had paid $2,400 for a bit
of New York real estate. The other
day the same piece of property sold
for $1,S25,000.
Real estate in the right location
is an ideal investment. It cannot be
destroyed, burned, lost or stolen,
and it will increase .uore rapidly
than money in almost any other
form
The young man who puts his
money into lots instead of squan-
dering every cent on that charaeter-
istically American deligh: known as
"having a good time," which is the
real cause of extravagance, is lay-
ing a foundation for success. He in
the kind of young man who wl'«l
command the respect of others earl}
in life, and whom the right sort of
girl will be proud to call her Jms

The fire tax !n the United Suites
amounts to about $3, per eapita of
the population. This statement as
made by Prank H. Wentworth. sec-
retary oj the National Fire Preveu
tion Association, in an address in
Louisville Wednesday night, lu this
connection he is .luoted as follows:
"Kvery year $250,000,000 lu pro-
perty that represents human toll is
destroyed by fire in the United
Ftates. and every man, woman and
child in Louisville pays a year as
a tax because of this waste. The
lax is merged in the cost of every-
day needs, through the ffcet that
these necessaries bear heavy insur-
ance against fire, which insurance Is
6 by-product of inefficient and in-
sufficient fire prevention. Louisville
Is still paying for the ^rcat fires of
Baltimore, San Franeiseo and Chel- 1
sea, because it Is a business of avtr
ages and the whole country is affect- ,
f><5. The fire insurance companies pu* i

BILL TO BREAK
IIP MONOPOLY
IN NATURAL GAS
worm MAKI IIUMI I.IM>
t OHMON I'l IK IIISKKS 4 M>
COMMON ( WtKIKKN.
Special to News-Herald.
Oklahoma City. Feb. 20.—A bill!
has been Introduced in the senate
and house that has for its object j
the making of all public service
natural cas lines in the state com-
mon purchasers and common car- j
riers of natural gas. At the legis-1
1 .tive session of 1908-09 a law was
passed making all oil lines com-
mon purchasers and common car-
riers and the bill now before the
legislature is practically the same, |
except that it applies to gas lines.
The bill of 19i 8 was very remedial
in its effect against, the Standard
Oil company and the present bill
should be a great protection against
the gas trusts of the state.
But little, if any opposition to the
Lill should be expected as it ap-
pears on its fact* to be an act of
justice to the pus consuming public
as well as to the small gas pro-
ducer. If the state desire the great-
est conservation of gas, they can
best serve their purpose by provid-
ing a market for such gas con- j
served, thus making it of value,
whereas now because of the failure
Of the large natural gas companies
to treat the gas producer fairly, gas
is practically a drug in the mark- ;
at the wells. The common carrier
>ature will prohibit, natural gas
concerns from charging excessive
Kites to consumers,
L'nder the present conditions the
t,as producer eanuot derive any ben-
efit from his gas, and in conse-
quence the land owner can derive
no revenue from the gas except |
v. hen the large pipe line see fit to
tuy the product The 'arge gas in-
terests have been refusing to tak
gas because it has been possible
for them to get the gas through
their hole drilled on the neighbor-
ing property. This is practically
stealing the property of the land
owner as well as the gas operator.
Gas is a commodity that will not
keep, awaiting an opportune time
to market, if others in the same
field are taking out the gas. This
measure js designed to protect the
armor's interests as well as that
of the gas producer and will make
gas worth something to the farmer
and producer as well as to the
larger gas interests. The passing
of this bill will stimulate drilling
for gas and should greatly add to
the natural wealth of the stete.
Any legislation helpful to gas
production will mean the building
up of the industries of Oklahoma
because of the cheap fuel created
thereby.
The bill places the larger gas in-
terests of the state under the juris-
diction ot the corporation commis-
sion. Lines not public utilities will
be made exempt from the legisla
tlon hereinto referred.
This bill re-establishes competi-
tion and destroys monopoly in nat-
ural gas.

extension n eastern Washington, in-
i« ted a ; erir* of figurative bomb-
sh >11- into « meeting of the Congre-
gational Ministerial alliance.
Why is it," asked Mr. Wilson,
"that the ministry Is not attracting
young men from our high schols,
colleges and universities? 1 have
asked some young men why and
their answer has been, 'We hav?
seen too much of your underhand
work and your lack of consistency
and sincerity and coneideration in
church management.'
"In. this Congregationalism does
not stand alone. Other denomina-
tions have their ecclesiastical ma-
chines. than which the po'itical ma-
chine is not more domineering."
Mr. Wilson secured favorable ac-
tion of the alliance cp a resolu* on
supfosiing that the Eastern Wash-
ington Congregational association
give the credentials committee au-
thority to investigate the fitness and
character of ministers or candidates.
After declaring that the church
needs leaders and not bosses, Mr
Wilson dwelt with the things thai
enter into a minister's success, say-
ing:
"There is nothing to Hinder an
individual from giving damaging in-
formation, which may be true or
may be false, as to a ministers
standing, ability, fitness or faithful-
ness. The year book is too often
taken ap a standard, but 1 had .ts
