JUDGE WOLF GIVES CITY AT-
TORNEY SOME PRIMARY
LESSONS IN WHAT CON-
STITUTES THE ART OF
VACCINATION.
The Democrat-Topic says that the , , . ,
u ,, •, n „,i (eated nearly all the schools ol Kan
city attorney cites the law. Keacl
what he says.
First, he says: "One would think
from reading Allan's articles in the _
Independent relative to the disposal £es*e a^ |,N 1 sfor( (> l"

who have been vaccinated and failed . J ® s L TT ,
: 'to take."'
i Now what questions has he raised?
I First: The question of surplus funds
' So far as we know Allan nor any one
j else has written an article on the tlis-
| posal of surplus funds in the city
treasury recently, the surplus funds
has not agitated the minds of the
people, for there has been 110 sur-
puls funds in the city treasury, quite
the reverse, the burning question that
has, and now is agitating the minds
of the people is the deficit,
city treasury not the surplus, ;.nd
how to raise money sufficient to pay
jthe current expense of running the
'city government, and pay the out-
standing indebtedness.
j Second question: Not those who
.have been vaccinated and failed "to
take." Now what he means by that
is hard to understand, unless he
means to boast that he was success-
fully vaccinated, and therefore was
able to vaccinate the city the last
term of the district court by getting
;i judgment raised from $000 to
550 and cost of suit taxed at $0,00(1.
If that is the kind of vaccination he
has for God's sake don't give the
city any more of it.
What further does he say? That
a very early decision rendered by thejLawton in tin
supreme court of Vermont held that tion there by
surplus funds may be treated asjno fear <

DAY.
The Friends University base ball
team of Wichita, Kansas, that de-
last year, proved an easy prey
for the Sooners fast team who won
the iirst of a series of two games
first 011 a two base hit by Horner. I11
the third, Fleming who is perhaps
the best man in the Sooner team
with the willow got a three base hit
against .1 strong wind with all the
bases full. Hendrix and Walker scor-
ed in the fifth 011 a sacrifice by
Moore. Walker as usual played a
perfect game behind the bat making
several brilliant plays, and Hollis
pitched rather better than usual.
The teams play again today when

business
A few bills against funds not over-
drawn were allowed and all other
claims laid over. The ordinance com-
mittee was instructed to prepare an
occupation tax ordinance to be pre-
sented at the next meeting. In regard
to such an ordinance we would sug-
gest that the council take the people
into their confidence before enacting
such an ordinance. It may he neces-
sary to enact such an ordinance in
order to provide for sufficient rev-
enues to meet the lctigimate expen-
ses for the ensuing ypar but show
the people that such an ordinance is
necessary and the people, instead of
censuring the council and resisting
ordinance, will commend and cheer-
fully acquiesce. An occupation tax is
not a proper one and has proved
more or less of a failure wherccver
attempted to be enforced. The pres-
ent city council can but carry out pro-
visions made by former city council
until the end of the fiscal year, and
if the former council has forced to
provide ways and means for raising
sufficient revenues for the present fis-
cal year, the new council cannot and
will not be held responsible. What
the present city council wants to do
is to provide for revenue for the next j church,
fiscal year beginning in July and if R
vfiey will show the people the amount
of revenue that the city will need
and also show the people that same
cannot be raised by levy, then we be-
lieve that the citizens might be will
ing to submit to the imposing of an
occupation tax sufficient to cover the
deficiency. We do not believe that a
member of the present city council
is justified in giving himself unnec-
esasry worry over the mistakes of
the old council; but rather employ
themselves in guarding against the
making of mistakes on their part. If
the present council has not been pro-
the duty of the mayor and council
to instruct the city attorney to take
the necessary steps to restore the
same and to take such steps, they are
bound by the oath of office they have
taken to faithfully discharge their
duties as officers of the city, and sub-
ject to impeachment should they fail.
The oath of office is not a mere form.
It means something.
The only thing of real importance
in the meeting transacted was to or-
der the purchasing committee to or-
der at once about $8,000 worth of
4 inch water pipe to put in to give
service to the people situated be-
tween the water mains and the plea
of justice to the property owners be-
tween Santa Fe and Muskogee Ave.
that we made was heeded and plans
changed so as to do justice.
vided with funds to pay street and
bridge contingent and salary, expen-
just say so and let every one
know, and they will understand.
Check the responsibility of this state
affairs up to parties responsible
for its existence, even though the
same should not reflect credit suffi-
cent to justify, the past administra
tion being characterized in its official
organ, as the "best business adminis-
tration the city ever had." This paper
shall certainly insist that the present
council "hew to the line and let the
chips fall where they may." The pres-
ent city council shall be held respon-
sible for its own acts and not the
acts of a former council. If this
council finds out that city funds have
been illegally transferred, consolidat-
ed or expended contrary to law it is
statement? It is hard to understand.
He tells us that was the law in Ver-
mont one hundred years ago. lie
don't tell us that it is even the law
there now, and I don't see how it
makes much difference to us in Ok-
lahoma. The live question is this;
What is the law in the state of Okla-
homa at this time? He knows if he
knows any thing, and if his boasted
vaccination has "taken the desired
effect on him," that is not the law j forney
in Oklahoma at this time. The con- shepard
stitution of the state of Oklahoma
says:
"Section 16, Article 10 of the con-
stitution reads as follows 'All law-
authorizing the borrowing of money
by and 011 behalf of the state, coun-
ty, or other political subdivision of
the state, shall specify the purpose
for which the money is to be used,
and the money so borrowed shall be
used for 110 other purpose.' And sec-
tion 19: 'Every act enacted by the
cles for the reason that H
