RED TAPE THAT HAS SURVIVED.
The land office has another peculiar
situation to meet. 1'he treasury depart-
ment, under an old and time honored
rule originating In legislation forty to
fifty years ago. when the facilities for
hnndling money were much more limited
than they are today, refuses to accept
anything but actual money from a re-
celv at a local land office in payment for
a homestead entry. The entry fee Is
usually about $16. The treasury will not
accept Uncle Sam's own postoffice mon-
ey order; hence a multitude of express
packages must be set* in. at a coat of
ninny times that of a money order.
ITnti| recently there won another prac-
tice at the general hind office which
seemed ridiculous. The commissioner was
the only person who could sign a cer-
tified copy of a land patent. There are

In the fall of 19"2 some fmart lawyer
conceived the Idea that fhe ownership

It out of the jurisdiction of the
Creek authorities, whereupon an injunc-
tion was obtained to restrain the tribal
authorities from collecting the tax in

MR. JOKES DISCUSSES STATEHOOD.
C. G. Jones, In speaking of the state-
hood convention at Oklahoma City July
12, said that he believed it would be the
largest gathering of territorial people ever
assembled in Oklahoma. Large reprs-
sentatlons are expected from both terri-
tories and they expect great result* A

ence in the action to be taken at the
next session of congress. Mr. Jones said
the rest of the country. Many fear that
the Incident may influence the prospects
of statehood and will bo glad to have it
forgotten as soon as possible.
The amount of the tax is trivial. The

territory, which is credited with a busi-
ness of $1,300, estimating that they al-

per cent on their sales. The tax Is only
$T, per $1,000 upon the wholesale cost of
goods.
said, now Includes 14.53 per cent of all
those eligible for membership in the
states In which it is organised. The re-
port of Head Clerk C. W. Hawes con-
tained the following:
The Insurance in force at the close of
the biennial aggregated $1,136,678,500. The
society paid 7.061 death claims, amount-
ing to $12,663,608, as against 5.860 claims
amounting to $10,736,435 during the term
preceding.
The. receipts of the. benefit fund totaled
$12,667.70.1 as against $7,670,988 during
the preceding biennial. The balance at
the close of the term was $807,587. The
receipts of tho general fund were $1,674,-
299 as against $1,603,011 during the pre-
ceding term, tho balance being $28^,994,
The lapsed (beneficial) membership dur-
ing the two years was 117,415 and the
lapsed Insurance $176,462,500. The aver-
ag per capita payment to the benefit
fund was $1.^6 1-2, as against 80 cents
during the term preceding. The increase
was due to the new rates becoming ef-
fective January 1, 1904. when the rate*
of the members were Increased from 25
per cent to 76 per cent at tne various
ages. There were 2.991 deaths from acci-
dent JWid 804 deaths from suicide. Of'
the latter 1M8 were farmers—30.86 pel- '
cent of the total number. The farmers

a better business basis. The president In
his statement appointing the commit- |
tee, referred to useless letter writing
when the business In hand could be at-
tended to more promptly through person-
al Interviews. The letter writing habit,
he said, was growing at a rapid rate and
I should be checked. As an Instance, It
j was stated at the land office that when
i Governor Richards, the present commls-
I sloner. came Into office It was the cus-
tom o£ tho department to acknowledge
j the receip* of every letter by a printed
postal card. This was a simple acknowl-
edgement of the receipt of the letter
which would be answered in the course
of time.
UNCLE SAMS ENDLES CHAIN.
Four clerks were employed mailing
these postul cards, nnd often letters
would be received acknowledging receipt
of the postal card ami asking why the
department had not answered the orig-
inal. In response to these letters of In-
quiry another postal card would be sent,
and thus there was an endless chain of
cards mall««1 from one year's end to
another. Now the letter Is answered di-
rect, and, whenever possible, a federal
letter addressed to a grojp of persons
Is prepared and many manifold copies Is
made and sent out. As an example, the
venlence that congress was asked a cou-
ple of years ngo to remedy the evil. The
law was amended so that the commis-
sioner. the acting commissioner, or the
recorder could sign the copy. Under the
old law the recorder signed the original
deed, but could not sign the certified
copy.
These are a few of the changes that
have been Inaugurated and many others
have been contemplated, but It Is a slow
process. Introducing an Innovation In
a government department.

St. Petersburg, June 20 (2:20 p. m.)—«
Tho only hopo for an armistice pending
the meeting of the peaoe plenipotentiaries
seems to rest with President Roosevelt
and even that Is considered slander. So
fur um known the presklent has not taken
a positive step in this direction. The Im-
pression here continues strong that Japan
only with great reluctance could b« in-
duced to forgoe the advantages of her
strategic position, which despite the tone
of the official advices from the front, la
regarded as being altogether favorable f,,r
Field Marshal Oyama. and agree to a sus-
pension of hostilities for at If-ast six
weeks during the time thousands ..f re-
inforcements would reach General Line-
vitch and Vladivostok, would be strength-
ened with mum Hons a ixl supplies to with-
stand a siege. Indeed, it is suggested
that Japan deliberately planned to post-
pone the meeting long enough to give
Oyama a chance to administer to the
Russians a fresh defeat on land In order
to rob the war party in Russia of their
last curd and facilitate acquiescence to
her terms. Considering the situation,
therefore. President Roosevelt's triumph
will be all the greater if he could now
succeed In crowning his work by an
agreement whlt^h would at least prevent
another bloody battle pending the show
of hands at Washington.

subject.
