At the meeting held in the auditor-
lum of the high school building l&at
night, Supt. W. W. Clement gave a
review of the situation with refer-
ence to the needs of the schools In
view of the fact that they now have
$3,000 per year less money than they
had six years ago though the money
Is not worth more than half as much
as it was then in paying for anything
that must be bought.
"Fof all those years there hasn't
been a time when the school board
has wanted to do anything that they
could do as they wished owing to
shortness nf funds. You wouldn't
think that they have to study whether
or not they can buy the right kind
of chalk they need in the schools be-
cause the other kind can be had for
less money. —
"You don't know what it means
to go over to Central Grammar school
on a cold winter day and see the
principal send the children home be-
cause of a leak in the roof. Patrons
of Vandlver school complain of board
walks.
"If the money asked for In the elec-
tion is granted by the voters then
something will be done to remove the
danger of the heating plant which la
located In the basement of the Cen-
tral Grammar school building, walks
will be repaired and. put In where
necessary, and details of repair will
be attended to, the plans having al-
ready been worked out. There can
be no hope of conducting the school
with any success at all without the
use of this new money. With a third
of a million dollar plant. Temple
schools have no money to spend tot
upkeep.
"The teaching problems are many.
Universities are not turning out
teachers to take up the profession.
Not a male teacher Tias made applica-
tion for positions qpen in the Tem-
ple schools this year and three hlgSs
school teachers afre still needed. It
will be Impossible to go but and fill
these places as they should be filled
if the school is not given money to
guarantee the payment of their sal-
aries."
The foregoing statements were
brought out In the course of the dis-
cussion b/ the superintendent and
others who took spirited Interest in
the proposition. W. B. Hall of the
school board said the board can not
pay what they have already contract-
ed to pay for the next school If this
tax money is not provided for the
coming year.
returnmTbm'dieks to
vote in tax election
The question was propounded to
City Attorney W. 8. Lemly yesterday
as to whether returned soldiers, now
discharged from the service, who had
no opportunity to secure n poll tax
receipt for 1918, wou'd he eligible
to vote In today's school tax eeotlon.
In conveisation, Mr. Lemley gavo it
as his opinion that any soldier whose
home has been In Temple for tho
length of time required by law should
bo allowed to vote In this election
upon presenting his discharge from
the service. He based this opinion
upon tho practice followed In the
election amendments to the state con-
stitution held on May 24.
This opinion was later confirmed
by Senator A. C. Buchanan, who has
* copy of tho law passed by the spe-
c'al session (of the legislature to al-
low discharged soldiers to vote in all
elections held In the state during thla
year and ne;cr. The law. he states,
Is very explicit on thig point.

operation and partnership based up-
on a real community of Interest and
participation in control, of which
President Wilson has apoken to con-
greaa, haa been Ignored both by la-
bor and by tha private owners of the
railroads.
"What wage increases have been
received during the past few years re-
sulted only in immediately being fol-
lowed by more than proportionate
increases In the cost of living. Each
rise in wagea haa turned out to mean
only temporary relief for the affect-
ed workera. When the Increases have
gone around the circle labor, aa pro-
ducer, loses the advantage of the new
wages through the additional cost It
pays aa consumer. Moreover, through
compound proflta taken on these wage
increases each cycle becomca an up-
ward spiral of costs which the con-
suming publlo vainly reaehsg to con-
trol.

ing public labor is entitled to rep-
resentation on the directorate cf tha

public railroads, as a producer of
capital it la entitled to representa-
tion on the directorate of the rail-
roads. To capital which la the fruit
of yeaterday'a labor we now propose
to discharge every just obligation. We
demand the owners of capital, who
represent only financial interest as
distinguished from operating brains
and energy be retired from manage-
ment, receiving government bonds
with a fixed intercut return for uv«rv
honest dollar invested in the railway
Industry. We ask that the railways
of the United States be vested in tho
public; that thou* especially engaged
in conducting that Industry, not from
Wall street, but from the railroad
offices and yards and out of the rail-
road lines, shall take charge of th.s
service for tha publlo.
These represent all the brairia, skill
and energy that la in tha business.
They are entitled to that measuro of
control which la equal to their ability
and their responsibilities for operat-
ing the transportation properties.
Then, and then only, will the service
be primarily for the public, not pri-
marily for profit* to speculators and
inflation of capital. Aa a means for
accomplishing this end, we ask that a
lease be granted to a corporation
created not for profit, but for public
service. We ask that this corporation
be controlled in its management by
an equal representation of the threa
fundamental interests upon which in-
lustry Is based. The public, operat-
ing managers and wage earners will
to
\khiCh induces it, by Investing
enter the publlo service.
"The public as consumers and the
operating managers and wage earners
aa producers, having joined in that
guarantee, will then share equally all
earnings in excess of the amounts re
quired to meet the guarantee.
"This Is provided by granting to the
wage earners and management one-
half of the savings which they,
through their perfected organizations,
can make and by securing to the pub-
lic the other half to <>« enjoined by
the consumers, either by charges or
by reducing the cost of the service
which the machinery then in exist-
ence can render. Thus the cost of
transportation Is automatically re-
duced exactly In proportion as bene-
fits accrue to the producers of trans-
portation. Increase In earning power
of producers under this system can-
not be reflected in increased costs. It
must be balanced by decreased costs.
"The railroads are the key industry
of the nation. They affect at once
'he Increased price of all commodities,
So a reduction In those costs must be
reflected by reduced prices.
"We say this because of labor's Iti-
tetest as consumer, as part of nn ovr
lurdened public. This fundamental
plutement of principle we respectfully
submit to the American people."

Chance to Lose Oil Co.
do you want a chance to make 50 to 1 ?
JAS. E. FERGUSON,
Ex-Governor of Texas.
Texas oil Is better than Klondike gold. Both are uncertain. The
man who tells you otherwise is a liar or a fool. Most likely he Is both.
I am organizing the Chance to Lose Oil Company with $200,000
stock, as an association for the purpose of drilling two or more test
wells on 2000 acres which will be leased to the Company for the usual
one-eighth royalty and $75,000 stock. Shares $25.00 each.
This land is 25 miles east of Houston, Texas.
While this land is untested. It is only 6 MILES NORTHWEST OF
BARBERS HILL WHERE A 500-BARREL WELL HAS BEEN RE-
CENTLY DISCOVERED.. .The tomous Humble field that has produced
a hundred million dollars In oil Is just 17 miles to the northwest. The
rich Goose Creek field Is just 18 miles south.
The Dayton field Is Just'7 miles north. The Hull and Batson fields
are about 25 miles east. The big gushers of the West Columbia field
are 35 miles to the southwest. It will be seen that this land is sur-
rounded by proven fields.
If I knew for sure that there was oil on this land I would keep it
all and you would not be reading this advertisement. Therefore do not
invest any more in this or any other oil deal than you can afford to
lose.
IF WE STRIKE GOOD OIL ON THIS LARGE ACREAGE THE
PROPERTY WILL BE WORTH 10 MILLION DOLLARS AND A HUN-
DRED DOLLAR INVESTMENT WILL BE WORTH $5000 OR 50 TO 1.
Every stockholder will have an Interest in every well drilled.
Actual drilling will begin In about 60 days and when $100,000 la
subscribed and paid.
Mr. Ed Hussion, Col. E. H. Coombs and Capt. W. R. Dulaney. busi-
ness men with oil experience, of Houston, and Mr. George S. Nalle. a
prominent business man of Austin, Texas, with myself, will be the trus-
tees of the company and manage the business.
Judge S. H. Bt*ashear, formerly district judge and mayor of Hous-
ton, is counsel for the company.
There will be no commissions paid to stock salesmen or anybody
else, and all moneys received will be used in actual drilling operations
except the actual cost of advertising and legal expenses of forming the
company.
Remember thla is no sure thing, but just a chance to make 50 to 1.
Liberty Bonds taken at face value. Reference, any bank in Texas
that will tell the truth. Write me at Temple, Texas.
