Phoenix Tribune

PHOENIX VOL. III. No. 14 NEW UNION STATION WILL BE LOCATED IN EAST PHOENIX NEW UNION STATION WILL BE LOCATED IN EAST PHOENIX Phoenix soon will have a new union station. Plans for the new building have been submitted to the State Corporation Commission and work of surveying the grounds upon which the station will be built is now in progress. To residents and property owners of East Phoenix it will be gratifying to know that this magnificent structure will be located in the vicinity of the Arizona Eastern shops, somewhere between Eleventh and Fourteenth streets. Nothing that has been done in recent years will add more to the value of property in the east end, and we predict a gradual shifting of the business district towards the new union station. A $50,000 office building is soon to be erected on East Washington street and a number of capitalists are negotiating for the purchase of the City Ice plant, situated in the east end, where they plan to build a five-story hotel. What with the coming of the new union station and the erection of modern office and business structures could mean so much to the progress of Phoenix? Although the census figures show that we have a population of only 29,053, we confidently believe that with the coming of the new union station and, eventually, a main line, these figures will fade into insignificance within the next decade. Altogether, now, for a greater, more prosperous Phoenix. Let us discard our prejudices, if we have any, and work for the common good of all. No city anywhere between Los Angeles and Denver has anything like the opportunity for advancement that Phoenix now has. No one can retard the progress of this city unless it be an individual among us, who, for selfish motives, would attempt to throttle the wheels of industry by advising capitalists to invest their money elsewhere. Co-operation is necessary to make Phoenix the Queen City of the West. Therefore, let us work together wholeheartedly for a bigger, better, more progressive city.

Thompson, 527 East Jefferson street, left this week for Oklahoma where she will spend several months visiting her daughter. OLD ORDER OF THINGS KLU KLUX KLAN TRYING GIVING WAY TO NEW, TO STOP EMIGRATION OF SAYS COLLEGE HEAD BLACKS FROM ALABAMA (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 30.—In his baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of Howard University, the Rev. J.

(By Associated Negro Press) Denver, Colo., June 30.—A decision that has just been handed down by the Supreme Court of this state accords equal rights to Negroes in shoeshining establishments.

Whopee! "It's niggers, niggers! with the Republics of the South." L. A. Examiner Pleads For Justice For Black Americans Editor of the Los Angeles Examiner defends our group in a strong editorial. The article follows: "Race problems are bad enough without exaggerating them. A quarrel between whites and Negroes in Chicago, two killed, many wounded, showed Negroes burning an American flag." The public should remember that the flag was produced and burned by a rascally WHITE man seeking to mislead the Negroes. The policeman who dashed in to save the flag from the flames and who was shot was a NEGRO policeman. "Negroes as a rule are and mean to be law-abiding. They make mistakes; so do the whites. They are called upon to bear severe provocation patiently. "White men should remember that Negroes are here by no act or wish of their own. They were brought here as slaves by white criminals that kid-naped them from Africa. They are entitled to kindness and justice, JUSTICE first of all."

FLURIBUS UNUM COLORED VOTERS THREATEN TO BOLT REPUBLICAN PARTY COLORED VOTERS THREATEN TO BOLT REPUBLICAN PARTY (By Associated Negro Press) Newark, N J., June 30.—Rumors are flying thick and fast that the Negroes of the state are about to begin a fight for substantial recognition at the hands of the Republicans. A considerable number of these men are threatening to transfer their allegiance to the Democrats if they are not given the recognition they say is their right. There is another branch of the colored men who aver that the proper way to get the matter is to organize a state convention at which the people may be given the chance to pick out the leaders they desire to make the fight for recognition. These men say that the "old bunch" are merely seeking to exploit the rank and file so as to suit their own selfish ends. FORT HUACHUGA Recent legislation by congress increased the pay of soldiers 20 per cent on their initial or base pay and to certain grades of non-commissioned officers an additional commuted ration, is added to their present ration. Special payrolls were made to cover the increase from January 1st, 1920 to May 31st as the law made the increase retroactive. Some soldiers receive the maximum for a soldier $142.50. In addition the same legislation that gave the soldiers the increase, a bonus for re-enlisting has been granted, which is to be paid them on the June payrolls in addition to their regular pay. Not all of the soldiers receive this bonus, for various reasons, but considerable of them do.

Jonas, one of the principals in the "Abyssinian Princes" fracas of last Sunday is the sponsor for the "boom" for the mayor.

F. OF L. WILL MEAN MUCH TO COLORED WORKERS (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 30.—The report that the American Federation of Labor in its annual convention in Montreal wiped out the color line has been received with much favor among workers here, who, however, admit that they desire to await developments. Industrially, if carried out, this will mean much to Negro workers, who it was declared must be given full and equal membership with white men. It is said that this action came at the end of a stormy session which nearly ended in a "race war" between delegates from the Southern states and the Negroes and their sympathizers. Blacks Entering Detroit At Alarming Rate of One Thousand a Week (By Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich., June 30.—One thousand Negroes are coming into Detroit every week. This is the estimate of Forrester B. Washington, who is making a comprehensive survey of the social and industrial conditions among the large number of these people who now are lodged in this city. Washington's survey also reveals that the living conditions in which these emigrants are forced to abide are wretched, in the greater instances, and constitute a health menace that should be remedied at once. He advocates the erection of workmen's homes in large numbers as one of the means of solution.

The call of the "Forty-eight" is attracting among these dissatisfied and a movement is said to be on foot looking to the issuance of a "call to Negroes who would be free" which will include the "third party call." Negroes Preparing To Demand Justice Says Noted Educator (By Associated Negro Press) ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 1—Robert T. Kerlin, professor in the Virginia Military Academy has contributed a very illuminating article to the June issue of Reddy's Mirror, one of the more important monthly magazines, published in the middle west, entitled "The Negro Fourth Estate." Among other things Professor Kerlin has this to say concerning the Negro press: "Activity of the colored press of the country in these troublous times, the spirit, the boldness, and the influence of it, may well excite alarm, as it has done, even in the seats of the mighty. There are nearly four hundred Negro newspapers published in this country, and they are prosperous as never before. Their circulation during the war period vastly increased, and new papers—all the more outspoken and abler type—have subsequently sprung into existence. The colored people are fully informed of this, their papers make it a matter of rejoicing and pride. It is, indeed, a sign of the times. We are informed by this press that a new era has come, brought to birth by the world war; that with the new era has appeared the new Negro; a man who stands erect and looks the white man in the face; a man who does not cringe or tawn "licking the hand that smites," but demands his rights under the constitution—equal opportunities in the common affairs of life, equal conditions, equal comforts, equal recognition for character and worth; in a word, "Justice." "Every paper has correspondents in all of its territory and in states beyond that might be supposed to be its territory. There are also news agencies. The most important of these is by far the Associated Negro Press. Through special correspondence in every city of the country it gathers the racial news and sends this out regularly to its large membership. About seventy-five papers receive these communications directly, but all get it sooner or later. Nothing racial escapes the argus-eyed colored press." (By Alphonso Robinson) (By Alphonso Robinson) Members of Mt. Calvary Baptist church are putting forth every effort to raise the necessary funds to complete their new church home. On July, 2nd and 3rd, there will be a Leap Year feast in the Wilderness entertainment given at the Baptist church and on Sunday, July 4th, a grand dinner will be served.

The man who loses heart and becomes suspicious of his own ability is shorn of the very power necessary to realize his dreams, because no one can do a bigger thing than he thinks he can—Selected. All eyes are on the democratic convention now in session in San Francisco. Many of our group are wondering what the democrats will do for us and our cause. Without going into details, we believe that what they will do for us can be summed up in one word of seven letters. If they do more than this, they will have excelled "Our Friends" of the opposite party. Sad though it may appear to some, but we expect little consideration from either democrats or republicans. None of them have any special love for the Negro. The one may be less considerate than the other, but both are strong on "illy whiteism." It is interesting to note that our local peace officers are about as good detectives as New York affords. A recent comparison of the Erhardi and Ewell murders showed that the former was by far the more baffling, and while our murder mystery has been solved the great detectives of Manhattan are still working on their case. Those eastern detectives need to come west and get a little training in the art of solving murder mysteries. If there is one thing more than any other the colored people of Phoenix need, it is a drug store where cold drinks and other refreshments are served. Why some one does not make a start in this direction is a ground mystery to us. We have six months of warm weather in Phoenix and the colored population is increasing daily. That they have no first class place, centrally located, where they may go and enjoy cooling refreshments is to be regretted. Their position is similar to that of the rich man who lay tormented in flames and asked that one Lazrus be permitted to bridge a great gulf, come to him and relieve his suffering. Let us hope that the cry of the colored people of Phoenix for relief, will not fall on leaf ears as did the cry of the rich man to whom we referred. That the Negroes of New York plan to place a colored man in the race for president is of more than passing importance. It does not mean that a colored man will be elected to this high office, but it shows that the thinking members of the race are becoming dissatisfied with both the republican and democratic parties. Why this is so, it would require volumes to relate, but we know that a third party in the field, with a safe andane platform, will cause a great split in the colored vote. Whether this would be for the best interest of the race, is a matter of conjecture, however, it would prove a great lesson to some. We do not advise the colored people to bolt the party of their choice, nor do we advocate a split, but in some way pressure should be brought to bear on the powers that be. We take an optimistic view of the future and see nothing but good times ahead. It is you who regulate production; you who, in the last analysis, regulate employment. If you buy, the seller sells, the worker works, and the wheels of production continue to go round. Don't stop buying, but buy wisely, judiciously, carefully, intelligently. Buy those things you need. Our destiny is in our own hands and we can have either a panic or good times. The whole matter rests with the great mass of common people—the individuals who toil.

UNIVERSITY AND STATE SCHOOL LAND OIL RICHES OPEN TO RICH AND POOR, BUT CERTAIN NOT TO LAST LONG UNDER EASY TERMS NOW OFFERED THROUGH ABNER DAVIS Now or Never for 40 Acre Texas Oil Rights QUICK ADVANCE-AND BIG PROFIT-40 ACRES-640 ACRES-As soon as these State oil rights are disposed of to small stockholders and the people of the U. S. wake up to the values they missed, prices will go skyward because the developments under way and planned are extensive, and there is, in my opinion, the greatest American oil fields to be opened up in the trans-Pecos Rio Grande Valley country. LOCAL SYNDICATE OPPORTUNITY-If you want to get in the oil business in a big way so you can hold leases for enhanced values, sell a part for profit and hold the balance for a real fortune. Why not form a little syndicate of your own and secure a quarter section or a full 640-acre tract divided among your friends. I can co-operate with you in drilling, producing and refining, and the establishment of branch refineries, and filling stations, and distribution of refined products. We are now refining and shipping in tank car lots Gasoline, Kerosene, Fuel Oil and Distillate at wholesale and retailing at our plants. PAGE FOUR --- Last Mad Rush for State Wealth In Texas Oil 100 WELLS DRILLING I am absolutely certain that a choice 40-acre lease will net the lucky owner from 40 to 400 times the present cost within a few weeks or few months, according to when gushers come in. More than 100 wells drilling to enhance values in the trans-Pecos Rio Grande district where most university and school land is situated. STRANGE BUT TRUE When the American Indian was pushed back by the white man, Uncle Sam allowed him to rest on the then worthless plains and jungles for his hunting ground, that the Red Man's white brother might till the fertile soil. Most of the rich oil fields of Oklahoma were on the worthless scrub hills of the Indian nation. The Texas ranch owner and farmer left the sagebrush plains and arid hills untouched. The State gave the refuse to the university and school system. And again nature lavishes her wealth where least expected, and the oil, gas and mineral resources of these school lands are building fortunes for those who come and take them for development, and now the State, the University and Public Schools are reaping the fabulous riches the early settlers pushed aside. This is one of the strange things whereby nature takes care of her own and it is all very well because it gives the chance now we could never have gotten otherwise. LAST CHANCE FOR BIG OIL LEASE HOLDINGS FROM THE STATE The Indian wards of the Government have become fabulously rich from their oil lands in Oklahoma. The State of Texas, university and State school system is reaping millions from oil royalties. ABNER DAVIS SYSTEM KEROSENE THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING REFINERIES—FORT WORTH, PECOS, WICHITA FALLS Abner Davis System Developers, Producers, Refiners, Pyramid Petroleum Products FORT WORTH, TEXAS TEXAS' LAST GREAT GIFT TO MAN Her Vast Oil Wealth for School Fortunes Await Developers, and Minions for Early Speculators. Abner Davis, Texas Oil Developer, Refiner and Founder of the famous Abner Davis System of Profit-Sharing Man to Man, is now distributing to his backers 400,000 acres of university and school land oil lease-permits from the State of Texas. This is, without doubt, the largest co-operative profit-sharing plan for individuals in the history of all efforts at constructive individual co-operation. WHY PAY MORE? If you want a dollar to do more for you than a thousand times that amount could do after one of the hundred big wells now drilling comes in a gusher, further extending and proving the trans-Pecos Rio Grande oil trend, you will have to get your application in my hands for oil lease-permit allotment on Texas school land. By co-operating with me you get the largest holdings for the least expense—Why pay more? Forty acres, at $1.25 per acre, can be secured through Abner Davis. Trustee. 400,000 acres Texas university and school land oil and gas leasepermits, titles perfect easy terms—State protection, blocked up covering trans-Pecos - Rio Grande trend where geologists and State surveys give unanimous approval for oil development. HELP PRODUCE GASOLINE My extensive operations in all leases, drilling wells, producing, refining and direct distribution of Pyramid Brand gasoline and other petroleum products, gives you the chance to share with me and thousands of others in holding these vast Texas university and State school lands for oil development. SHARE ON GROUND FLOOR I could charge you $10 per acre now, or could hold for 30 days and charge $20 to $50 per acre, but that is not my way of doing business, man to man-I want these vast holdings to come into the hands of my friends who will co-operate with me for future developments at nominal expense with profits direct to the individual from their acreage and then from co-operation and development under our system. I am not selling leases but I am building a great organization for profit-sharing. WOULD YOU WIN BACK YOUR LOSSES IF YOU COULD? You may have tried to win in oil and lost, but I can promise you these school land oil and gas lease-permits now to be had practically free, will give you the biggest chance to win big with the least chance for loss of any oil investment on earth. WOULD YOU SAVE $10 A MONTH FOR A MILLION IN A LUMP? You are here given the real chance to win quickly and in a substantial way because big holdings can be had with only a few dollars' cash and a few dollars for annual rentals and extension. WHAT FORTY ACRES OF OIL LAND CAN DO Forty-Acre Tract Produced $7,000,000 in Oil. By International News Service. RANGER, June 11.—The 40-acre tract adjoining Merriman church property, 4 miles south of Ranger, is the World's richest oil acreage. It has produced in less than two years nearly 2,500,000 barrels of oil worth over $7,000,000 at present prices. DO YOU WANT YOURS? 40 Acres Oil, Gas and Mineral Lease-Permits on University and School Lands in Texas. The very last chance you will ever have. There is no more TELEGRAPH ME YOUR RESERVATION Every man, woman and child that has ever invested a dollar through me, who is an American citizen, can secure an allotment of 40 acres of oil and gas lease-permits on Texas school land by agreeing to pay $1.25 per acre cash. This offer is made direct to those who have furnished me money in the past which enabled me to secure the vast university and school lease-permits I now have at my disposal. Please reserve for me...acres of the University or State School land lease-permits. Enclosed find $...to apply to same. It is distinctly understood that your plan contemplates complying with the laws of the State of Texas, governing the payment of rental and the grouping and development of said land for oil and gas. You may remit any amount convenient from $10 up, the balance to follow when you receive full details. All applications and all money will be returned when the allotment is exhausted. The allotment will be made in the manner in which application is received. land being created. There is no more oil being deposited. But Texas has a bountiful supply for all who have the nerve to try. I am determined that my friends and backers shall have the greatest chance for real wealth that ever came to so many people through the efforts of one man. There is no other way on earth by which this opportunity to distribute 400,000 acres of Texas oil and gas lease-permits on school lands could have ever come into my hands except because my friends have enabled me to climb to a strong position as an oil developer and refiner. This confidence is due to the tangible results of my efforts along constructive development lines in a few short years. So if I can turn 40 acres of Texas oil and mineral rights over to each of 10,000 people, I will have given to my friends the very thing their backing brought me. I do not believe there is another opportunity like this, or that there ever will be again. I do not believe there is another man in Texas who could get control of this magnificent combination of State and University holdings at this time, on such easy terms. BENEFITS OF CO OPERATION The development carried on by the drilling branch of the trusteeship makes wealth for the ARNER DAVIS SYSTEM FUEL OIL SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1920 --- ABNER DAVIS SYSTEM GASOLINE ONG UNDER EASY TERMS Oil Rights ONG UNDER EASY TERMS Oil Rights participating members direct. This same development enhances the values of all individuals without expense to them and without expense or injustice to the developing department. If I go out and buy 80 acres or a section of 640 acres for development, I use the funds of the drilling branch of the trusteeship and thereby create great values for outsiders who own the adjoining and surrounding eighties or sections. If I do this development upon an 80 or section purchased from our own individual members, I do them the good turn and give the profit to those who have co-operated with me. Then I am doing all others a further good turn, because incidentally I am developing and creating further values for all other individuals who have adjoining or surrounding property. TITLE PERFECT WITH STATE PROTECTION An oil and gas permit on university or State school lands in Texas is the ideal form of speculation in a large way with a very little money under the plans outlined whereby people everywhere may become interested in the vast petroleum deposits on Texas State lands, regardless of where they live.
