ABOLISHES OFflGE
OF STATE PRINTER
COUNT IS 32 TO 7: WORK TRANS-
FERRED TO BOARD OF AF-
FAIRS.
>
) GOVERNOR'S VETO IS NOT EXPECTED
If the Bill Becomes a Law, the State
Printing Department, as Now
Constituted, Will Be Wiped
From "Pie Counter.'
Oklahoma City. Okla.—By a vote of
32 to 7 the senate passed the house
bill by Pruett, abolishing the office
of the state printer and transferring
the work now conducted by that de-
partment to the state board of public I
affairs. With the signature and ap-i
I'roval of Governor Cruce the bill be- j
comes a law and the state printing de-i
partinent, as now constituted, will be|
wiped out. The governor s approval j
of the bill is confidently expected in
view of the fact that the abolition of
ihe office was recommended by him in J
his message to the legislature
The bill was opposed by Senator
barren and others, who declared that
conditions were different now than
they were at the time the governor
""•/•ecommened the abolition of the
printing department; that the incum-
bent of the office at that time had
been found guilty of certain irregular-
ities and the alleged corrupt condition
had been remedied by Farris' im-
peachment and that the present state
printer is competent, capable and
would conduct the department, eco-
nomically and to the best Interests of
the state.
liefore this hill was passed finally
ihe senate took up the house bill to
abolish the state board of affairs and
after considerable discussion it decid-
ed to strike out all of the house bill
after the enactment clause and substi-
tute therefore the bill by Senator Van-
deventer. This is taken to indicate
that the senate will not abolish the
board of affairs and re-create in its
place a state purchasing agent, as pro-
vided by the house bill. The Vande-
venter bill contemplates a continua-
tion of the board of affairs, to consist
of three members, but completely
changes the methods of handling the
state's business in that department.
It was indicated by some that inas-
much as the office of state printer
lias been abolished and the work of
iliat department turned over to the
board of affairs an effort will be made
to amend the Vandeventer bill so as
to provide that one of the three mem-
bers of the board shall be an experi-
enced printer, with all of the qualifi-
cations necessary to be state printer
tinder the former law.
House
The house fish and game measure
was further amended in the senate
and passed by a bare constitutional
majority. It supplants the present
game warden system with a state
game commission of three members,
one of whom is to receive $1,800 a
year, but abolished the office of
twelve deputy game wardens, leaving
enforcement of the law in the hands
of local officers.
The house general investigation com-
mittee will bo continued to investigate
the state officers after the regular ses-
sion adjourns, the house having pass-
ed the resolution extending its life.
Members get $0 per day and expenses.
The house was unable to override
the executive veto on the rairoad hos-
^)':.tal bill. The measure originated in
the senate and came to the house with
a two-thirds vote from that bodv
-which passed it over the governor's
veto. Representative Hill of Pittsburg,
one of the authors of the measure,
made a strong plea to the house for
the passage of the bill over the exec-
utive disapproval.
The house voted unanimously to
purge G. T. Bryan, president of the
state board of agriculture of the
«harge of contempt after he had
pleaded guilty of assault upon Repre-
sentative R. R. Halsell, of Bryan
county, and apologized to the house
for his action.
By a tie vote of 44 to 44, the house
of representatives rejected a report by
the conference committee on congres-
sional redistricting which sought to
adjust the difference between the two
houses. Another conference commit-1
1ee now is necessary.
I The house committee which InveaM
I gated the office of secretary of stato
made a report to the house which cou.
I tains only mild criticism of that of-
; fleer. The committee criticises the
| officer for permitting an employe to
spend three months at state expense
in compiling and readirg proof on the
Oklahoma red book while at tile same
time the secretary was employing ex-
tra help to do the regular work of the
office, according to the allegations of
the report The report calls attention
to a warrant for $-.140 which is al-
leged to have been drawn in favor of
the secretary of state with the nota-
tion "For distributing copies of the
red book.' Secretary Harrison explain-
ed this withdrawal, according to the
report, by testifying that $1,500 of
this amount was withdrawn because it
would have reverted to the state trea
ury in a few days, where it would not
have been available and that he has
since spent the money on legitimate,
office expenses The remainder of
the money was used, acocrding to the
secretary's testimony, in bearing ex-
penses of distributing the red book.
The report states that the secretary of
state and his employes are very effi-
cient and that the office is being run
with as few employes as Is possible,
although two in addition to the num-
ber created by law are being employed
to dispose of some extra work of re-
cording and indexing.
The house passed the senate hills
creating a new Judicial district com-
posed of Pushmataha, Choctaw and
McCurtain counties; prohibiting ex-
penditure of state funds for or against
the passage of any initiated measure;
giving county commissioners in coun-
ties partly above and partly below a
quarantine line authority to levy
funds for tick eradication
Senate
Taking a firm stand for the consti-
tution of the state and being unwilling
to change its provisions regarding the
2-cent passenger transportation late,
Governor Cruce vetoed the Vandeven-
ter bill making the rate -V* cents a
mile. In his message explaining his at-
titude the governor declares that the
state already has inaugurated a fight
in the courts for the 2-cent rate and
that as a decision in this matter is
now pending in the supreme court, it
would be an admission thai the rate
is unreasonable and the contentions
of the state groundless to now com-
promise with a higher rate.
The house bill to abolish the office
of state fish and game warden was
taken up by the senate and several
aniendenints were adopted, the most
important being one by Senator J. El-
mer Thomas of lawton, which doe3
away with the provision to pay the
chairman of the fish and game com-
mission a salary of $3,000 a year and
provides that all three members ol
l^ie eommisison shall serve free. An
allowance of $'-'Oo a year is made tor
actual traveling expenses.
The senate finally passed the house
bill which places the proceeds of sec-
tion 33 of the school lands to the
credit of the union graded or consoli-
dated schools. The senate bill which
extends the supreme court commis-
sion until 191.1 was passed finally. The
senate bill which places a lien on
grain to secure payment for threshing
was passed.
The senate passed finally the house
bill submitting to a vote of the peo-
ple next August the question of voting
upon article 9 of section 9 of the con-
stitution w hich prohibits an interstate
railroad buying or leasing a railroad
operating entirely within the state.
The senate passed finally the senate
bill appropriating $50,000 for the pur-
pose of erecting two cottages, laun-
dry building, kitchen and bakery, hos-
pital and dormitory, to be used in con-
nection with the Institute for Feeble
Minded at Enid.
The senate passed a number of Im-
portant house bills, including one by
Childers, providing for electrocution
instead of hanging as at present; by
Williams, prescribing a nine hour
working day for women in certain em-
ployments, exempting however, towns
of less than 10,000 population; by
Wyand and Smith, giving the corpora-
tion commission control over light, gas.
heat and power companies, except
those municipally owned; by Childers
allowing citizens of a county to organ-
ize mutual insurance companies, and
by Reece, enacting the Misosurl bad
check law.
The hill requiring railroads operat-
ing within the state to manitain hos-
iptal facilities, was passed by the sen-
ate over the governor's veto by a vote
of 31 to 10. The bill providing for
two and one-fourth cent passenger
fare failed to secure the required ma-
jority, as did the bill abolishing the
office of state enforcement officer and
the bill which would strip the gover-
nor of the power to appoint and dis-
charge the warden of the penitentiary.
The house passed finally the bill by
Senators Russell, McClintic and Bar-
rett, to recall $23,000, the unspent re-
mainder of the original $15,000 appro-
priated by the third legislature to drill
lest deep water wells in the Panhandle
«ountry; also Senator Memrainger's
hill making the diversion of public
lunds a felony; also the senate bill by
Senator McAlister and Representa-
tives Hunter, Ashby and Taylor, creat-
ing a new Judicial district out of
Pushmataha, McCurtain and Choctaw
counties.
J Four appropriation bills for the
j maintenance of as many state educa-
lional institutions were passed finally
j by the senate. Three of these were
lor district agricultural schools and
| the fourth for the state preparatory
school located at Claremore. The
Murray Agricultural school at Tisho-
mingo. the Haskell Agricultural school
at Broken Arrow and the Helena Agri-
cultural school, each received an ap-
propriation of $14,060 a year and the

COUNTY COOPERATION
THE PLAN OF COMMISSION
Leg Torn Off; Hurled Many Feet.
Ada, Okla.—A lever breaking on a
stump puller on R. .1. Ross's farm,
four miles south of Ada. was the
cause of the death of Ross himself and
the serious injury of a young son. Mr.
Ross and the injured boy, at the time
of the accident, were pushing on the
lever in order to help the horses,
while another son was driving the
horses. When ihe lever suddenly gave
way, the broken piece hit Mr. Ross
and the boy on the legs, breaking one
of the elder man's legs and tearing
the other off and hurling it a distance
of 150 feet. The legs of the boy were
broken also It was thought for a
while that the ma nwould recover, but
he died two hours after the accident
occurred The boy is doing very well.

•'New Commercial Clubs" With All
Towns In Each County as Mem-
bers Are Being Organized to
Develop Oklahoma's Agri-
cultural Resources.
Oklahoma City, Okla —"County co-
operation in building up Oklahoma's
meal ticket" is the slogan of the Ok-
lahoma Development commission In
the campaign being carried on to or-
ganize "new commercial clubs" in
every town and city in the state. The
Oklahoma Development commission is
working in co-operation with the East-
ern Oklahoma Agricultural association,
which was organized in Muskogee, the
Farmers' co-operative demonstration
work of the I'nited Slates department
of agriculture and all similar organiza-
tions, to spread the gospel of greater
agricultural production
The Oklahoma Development commis-
sion, a state wide organization, has
worked out a definite plan for organ-
ising new commercial clubs in the
trade centers of each county. Each
trade center, village, town and city In
the county, working in harmony with
the others, is asked to organize a
"new commercial club," with a sim-
plified form of government and spe-
cial agricultural committees and. with
the aid of a county demonstration
agent, build up the agricultural re-
sources of the county.
Each trade center, the place where
the farmers of that community sells
his produce, buys his groceries and
does his banking business, can form a
commercial club or progress commit-
tee depending on ihe size of the town,
which will act as a unit in the county
co-operation plan. Each trade center
can be given tile opportunity to bear
Its share in (he expense of employing
a county demonstration agent under
the supervision of the fanners' co-op-
erative work of Ihe I'nited States de-
aprtment of agriculture.
As planned by the development com-
mission the largest city in the county
will take the Initiative, call a meeting
with one representative from each
trade center present and with the co-
operation of the commission organize
for county development. At this meet-
ing the share of expense of the county
agent to be borne by each community
can be decided. A permanent organ-
ization can then be formed and known
as the "Board of Co-operation of Blank
County."
This board in co-operation with the
county agent can hold public meet-
ings and aid in disseminating infor-
mation concerning the latest agricul-
tural development. "Farmers' days"
and "autumn harvest shows" are plan-
ned to be held in each trade commun-
ity and relieve the isolation of which
the farmer has complained. The mer-
chants. bankers and farmers will be
brought into closer relationship and
can better recognize Ihe mutuality of
their interests.
According lo Ihe plans of the Okla-
homa Development commission, each
commercial club will have committees
such as a seed committee to locate
sources of pure, reliable seed: the
agricultural resources committee to
get information of the crops best
adapted to that locality and the best
methods of raising them. The mar-
keting committee can keep in touch
wilh the market demands and insure
the sale of the products from that
community at profitable prices.
These plans of the Oklahoma Devel-
opment commission are calculated to
arouse interest in each trade center,
large or small, and, by ihe county
board of co-operation, link up the trade
centers in the county co-operation
scheme. The east side of the state,
since the Muskogee meeting, is carry-
ing on plans that will co-operate with
those of Ihe Oklahoma Development
commission. It is planned by the Ok-
lahoma Development commission, in
co-operation with the Eastern Okla-
homa Agricultural conference,
Freedmen Fight Land Tax.
Ardmore, Okla.—Attorneys of Okla-
homa City filed here suit enjoining the
county treasurer from collecting taxes
on the lands of freedmen of the Chick-
asaw and Choctaw nations. The re-
sult of the suit affects all the counties
of the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations.
The freedmen contend that their lands
are exempt from taxation under the
same law that exempts Indian lands
from taxation.
Home Life Sues for $150,000.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—As the lat-
est development in the contest for con-
trol of the Home Life Insurance Com-
pany of Oklahoma City, suit for $150,-
000 damages has been filed by that
company against the Amalgamated In-
surance corporations of Indianapolis.

Oklahoma Cattle Prospects Good.
Bartlesville. Okla With grass
started, streams and ponds already
filled, it is predicted the largest num-
ber of cattle ever grazed in this sec-
tion will be brought here this spring.
Several shipments of cuttle have ar-
rived from Texas and are being graz-
ed oil lands along the Osage county
several miles west of Bartlesville. Sev-
eral cattlemen just returned trom
Texas say feeders are high and pre-
dict a good market when the grazing
season is over. Fully 10,000 head of
cattle will be brought into Washing-
ton and Osage counties to graze this
spring,
Robbed Bank; Escape in Skiff.

Cushing—Work to Be Rushed.
Cushing, Okla —Makers of history
and progress have b* en busy again in
Cushing. By practically unanimous
consent, there being but one vote re-
corded against the proposition, a fran-
chise was granted to the Cushing Elec-
tric Traction and interurban Hallway
company for the construction of car
lines in Cushing and to the surround-
ing oil fields.
The incorporators of the company
are C R. Strong, Clinton; Rufus Car-

sued by the Oklahoma geological com-
mission puts Mayes county strictly
within the coal belt. For several years
coal has been mined in various parts
of tile county, supplying a large per
cent of the local demand l| is claim
ed by some of the old lime citizens
that some years ago coal was loaded
and shipped by rail to outside points
and was greatly in demand, but owing
to the distance of Ihe mines from a
railroad point and tho high freight
rale existing al tile time, the industry
proved unprofitable. Practically all
the coal mined in Mayes county up
to this time has been on the slopes or
drift plan. The quality of the coal Is
excellent and it is used by many In-
habitants in preference lo much of the
coal shipped in from outside mines.

Afflicted Relatives, in the First Throei
of Distress, Induced to Assume
Pecuniary Burdens That Lat-
er Are Severely Felt.
One cannot go among the poor very-
much w ithout hearing more or less cir-
cumstantial stories of how the un-
scrupulous undertaker fleeces them,
writes Arthur H. Reeves in Harper's
Weekly. In fact, nothing less than
ghoulish are some of the stories that
sre related to show how pressure is
brought to bear on distracted peoplo
to cause them excessive expense in
burying their dead. A dying husband
begged his wife that she give him
only a plain funeral. She promised,
but when the undertaker came the
relatives were present. As soon as
she said she wanted only a mooeBt
funeral the undertaker sneered "la
that all you thought of your husband
to bury him like that?" She was
shamed into spending not only more
than she had promised, but more than
the insurance he had asked her to
ave
"This is the last thing yon can do
for your wife," one undertaker urged
a poor porter, "and you don't want to
be haunted by the thought that you
were mean." Then the crafty trades-
man In death pointed to tho children
and cruelly wrung the man's heart by
adding; if you don't do the right
thing by their mother they will curse
you to your dying day." It Is hardly
necessary to say t'tfat this distracted
man demonstrated his love for the
dead wife and mother by having a fu-
neral which condemned the children
to actual hunger and want.
Another undertaker refused to go to
Iiellevue for the body of a child until
the mother gave him a golden cruci-
fix. an heirloom, as security. Such
cases could be multiplied if it were
of any use, for cases of this kind are
so common among tho very poor as to
be almost proverbial. That Is not to
say lhat all undertakers, or even a
majority of them, are rogues. They
are precisely like every other body of
men—some honest, some unscrupu-
lous. charging "all that the traffic will
bear."
Once having been accepted, the vul-
ture undertaker has the family at his
inercy. For instanc, in one case a
chattel mortgage on all the household
furniture was demanded. The family
refused indignantly. Hut when they
approached a second undertaker they
found he would not take the case be-
cause the code of ethics forbade him.
They either had to take the original
undertaker on his own terms or sub-
mit to having a pauper burial.
Bite of a Centipede.
Jeff Fitch has had about the closest
call of his life the last few days.
About one week ago. while sleeping in
his bachelor quarters, he felt some
thing bite him and after applying
some turpentine he thought no more
of It.
A day or two later the wound be-
gan to swell and In a short time Fitch
was a very sick man. He was remov-
ed to the home of Chris Powell, where
for a time it was feared he would not
recover. A search of the room where
Fitch had been sleeping revealed a
dead centipede upon the floor back ol
the bed, where it had fallen when the
half-awakened man had crushed his
tormentor. Fitch is now said to be
out of danger, although far from re
covered.—Arizona Republican.
T. R. Says Emma Must Marry.
At a recent dinner given to the
writers who donated their services to

women: Kdna Ferber, Inez Haines Gil-
more and Jessie C. Smith. All of
them had to speak. It is reported that
earlier In the year Miss Ferber had
a conversation with the chief Bull

as follows: "Miss Ferber, Emma Mc-
Chesney MUST marry; she is a young
woman still, not more than thirty-six
or bo, is Bhe? Marry her off; she
ought to have two children; that
young son of hers don't amount to

Paint to Indicate Heat in Bearings.
A paint that is a bright red in coloi

then resumes its red color when cool

This paint is especially suitable, for

Promises.
One of the Incomprehensible things
to a child is the fashion some grown-
up people have of promising and for
getting. There is no surer way to
lose a child's confidence and love.
They do not understand excuses or
the pressure of circumstances; they
only know "She said she would and
