CoRgreumu Morgan Introduce*
Bill Requiring Indian Funds to
Be .Loaned to Fanners Who
Should Have First Chance.
Congressman Dick T, M organ lias
Introduced a bill requiring the sec
retary of tli# interior to loan to bo
na fide farmers of Oklahoms a large
part of the funds Id the custody of
the United States belonging ° lhe
Indians of Oklahoma. These funds
now amount to over $27,000,000.
About 0 ultlllous are due on back
payments for lands sold. The sale
of the surface of the 500,000 acres of
coal lands, already ordered sold by
congress, will add probably 110,000,
000 more. The sale of the coal un
der these lands will add probably
S15.000.000. Kor more than a quar
ter of a century the government will
continuously have In charge large
sum* belonging to Indians. Under
the Act of March 3„ 1910, certain
fund* from sale of surplus and un
allotted lands, at the discretion of
the secretary of the Interior, may
be deposited in the banks of Oklaho
ma. Over $4,000,000 are uow in Ok
lahoma banks under this law, But
In addition to these funds the gov
erumeiit is paying ont annually
over $700,000 In Interest to the In
dians of Oklahoma, on trust funds
which caunot now be deposited In
banks or loaned to farmers. All
this interest Is dead loaa to the gov
eminent.
troduced a bill requiring all these
funds to be deposited In the banks
of Oklahoma. Representative Mor
gall takes the position that the bulk
of these funds should be loaned to
bona fide farmers of the utate at a
low rate of Interest. His bill pro
vides for loans to run from one to
Ave years, at Ave per cent, and re
quires the loans to be distributed to
the counties according to the num
ber of farmers in each county.
Congress man Morgan referring to
this bill says: . -'There is certainly
nothing impractical iu niv proposi
lion. The farmers should have the
first chance at this money, though
under my bill thore will be several
millions available to deposit In our
banks. Our highest duty i* to aid
our farmers, because the extension
of our agricultural Interests, and
the prosperity of our fanners means
prosperity to our banks, and to the
people iu every other occupation.
Without anv loss or risk to the gov
eminent and without the least iu
convenience or detriment to the Iu
diaus, but to the advantage and
profit of both-the millions of dol
Urs now In the treasury, and here
after to be plaoed lit the treasury,
to the oredit of our Indians, should
he made a basis for our future farm
credit association!,•' ~~~

According to statistics in the of-
fice of the Oklahoma Geological
Survey at Norman, the value of oil
now being produced in Oklahoma
is valued at more than a million dol
lars a week. According to D. W.
Ohern, director of the survey, the
best reports available show that
about 180,000 barrels of oil are being
produced daily in the state. With
the price of oil at 93 cents this
meaus an annual value of $61,000,-
000 a year or $167,000 per day.
According to Ohern, there is no
sign of any diminution of the rate
of output although it now appears

Which end of Oklahoma can grow
the better crops—east or west?
Which is the better agricultural
country—old Indian 'territory ot
old Oklahoma?
TiieBe questions discussed for
years between rival countries and
never settled, will he determined
once and for all when east meets
west In Oklahomaat the lnternation
al Dry Farming Congiess and ex-
position in Tulsa next October.
In paBt years all of western Okln
homa has exhibited at the state fair
at Oklahoma City, while the crops
from the eastern side of the state
have been shown at Muskogee. But
the two sections didn't come fullv
Into competition. This year, for
the first time, all of Oklahoma will
meet at Tulsa, where big prizes will
be offered for county exhibits open
to the world and other prizes will
be given for the best in Oklahoma
only, When the Tulsa show is over
there will be one county in Oklaho
ma whose people can back up their
statements with proof that they live
In the best crop growing section of
the state.
Every district is entering into the
contest with energy and enthusi-
asm. Already the committees in
thirty Oklahoma counties have of
ficially applied for space at the big
Tulsa show, and the officers of tlitt
congress have unofficial knowledge
that at least twenty-five more are
actually at work on the collection
of exhibits, From Adair and Ottawa
on the east to Ellis, Beckham and
Texas on the west the counties of
Oklahoma hnve their eyes on Tulsa
and are eagerly working and plan
ning to capture the big stute prize.
Asi Je from the counties mention
ed Blaine, Carter, Cherokee, Creek,
Comanche, Caddo. Cleveland, Cot.
ton, Jackson, Johnson, Latimer,
Logan, Lincoln, McClain, Noble
Ottawa, Osage, Pawnee, l'ottawat
to ill i e, Pittsburg, Rogers, Stephens,
Tulsa, Texas and Woodward have
already asked, through their local
organizations or through special
committees, for space in the big
state building which is to house all
exhibits from Oklahoma. This
building will be 84 by 225 feet ill sizo
aud will contain 19,000 feet of floor
space, more than half of which lias
already beeu asked for.
One D^otli nine by fifteen feet has
been reserved for every county in
Oklahoma. K.xhibits are actually
expected from sixty counties, and
the extra booths will probably be
divided among tljosiecouuties which
are preparing the largest and most
attractive exhibits. The congress
officials say that not a foot of space
