TRIBES PROFIT BY TREATIES
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians Will
Get Money from Government
MUSKOGEE: By making better
treaties with the government than
the other nations of the five civilized
tribes the Choctaw and Chickasaw In
(jlans are getting big payments made
to them as the money comes In from
the sale of their properties while the
Cherbkees Creeks and Semlnoles will
have to wait for a final accounting of
all their property before their money
will be distributed to them About
a year ago a per capita payment of
a million dollars was made to the
Choctaws and Chlckasaws Another
has been ordered and will begin in
May -when a halt million dollars will
be distributed at $20 per papita All
this money comes out of tbe funds ac-
cumulated from the sale ot town lots
Still another payment of $300000 was
ordered made some time ego to the
Choctaws and Chlckasaws to pay -for
improvements that were on the segre-
gated coal lands when the government
withdrew them from allotment There
will be but 400 Indians participate in
this payment however and they will
get on an average of $750 each This
payment has been temporarily with-
held but it is likely to be 'ordered
made most any -day
These payments are of greatest im-
portance to the development of these
nations at this time The ' Indians
have been confined to their allotments
and have been made to fell the neces-
sity of cultivating land While they
have plenty of land in most Instances
they had nothing to cultivate it with
and no way to get farming imple-
ments They are land poor These
payments go a long -way towards help-
ing them -buy teams wagons plows
and food which is a serious problem
mow that game laws prohibit kill-
ing game except in -certain seasons
SPECIAL SESSION PROBABLE
Missouri’s Primary Law May Call Leg-
islature Together
JEFFERSON CITY: Should the
friendly-test of the validity of the
state primary law in the supreme
court proposed by Jeptha D Howe
and others in St Louis result in Its
being declared unconstitutional Gov-
ernor Folk will at once call an extra
session of the legislature to -pass a
primary law framed to stand the test
of the courts
It is generally’ believed -by lawyers
and laymen alike that the law as
drawn and passed by the last session
is full of “blow holes” that unfor-
tunately it was not made to conform
in some respects to some of the gen-
eral election law notably in the regis-
tration provisions applicable to SL
Lquis and that it fails to provide the
methods by which nominations shall
be mads for certain offices
It is the universal 'belief among
those who have read tne law carefully
that "it will hardly survive the test
of the court ’ Generally it is conceded
that only on the grounds of “public
policy” and even that is a very violent
presumption could it be sustained
“In God We Trust” on Coins '
WASHINGTON: Under the suspen-
sion of the rules the house passed
the bill providing for the restora-
tion of the motto “In God We Trust”
on gold and silver coins of the Unit-
ed States' The bill was passed by

the-subject excited the- liveliest in-
terest of members Mr Carlin Vir-
ginia' said that in the Issuance ot
his order abolishing the motto Pres-
ident Roosevelt had acted unwisely
and in violation of the spirit of the
law Mr Ollie James Kentucky de-
clared that in the Judgment of the
Christian people of the United States
the president had made a -great mis-
take Teachers’ Examinations In April
GUTHRIE: After making rules gov-
erning the Issuing of teachers certi-
ficates' and life diplomas compiling
the questions for the April examina-
tion and prescMbing regulations for
Instructors in summer normal schools
the state board of examiners which
has been in session here has adjourn-
ed The examination for certificates

OUR CORRESPONDENT’S VIEWS—

Importance of Geological Survey Bill
Is Far-Reaching — Wealth of Okla-
homa's Minerals Is Great and Little
is Known Regarding It - '
Several bills have been Introduced
In the state legislature creating a
state board of geological survey The
Stafford-Sorrels ’bill seems to be
making some headway toward pas-
sage On this subject the people of
the state have little knowledge ana
many persons scarcely any interest
Yet it is one ot the most Important
and far-reaching in the future pros-
perity of the state that could pos-
sibly be considered by the legislature
Ntjw much money should be appro-
priated for such a - department Is
something on which they may be fair
differences of opinion but that the de-
partment should be established is
beyond question in the opinion of
those who have given the matter con-
sideration Professor C N Gonld
geologist of the state university who
knows more about the mineral re-
sources of Oklahoma than any other
man has given the committees the
benefit of his information Professor
Gould cays that Oklahoma has more
different kinds of valuable minerals
and In greater quantities than any
other state In the union The nine
most important are coal oil gas as-
phalt salt gypsum building stone
clay and glass sand There are rich
deposits ot zinc and lead now being
brofltably mined and probably valua-
ble Iron deposits Up -to this time
Oklahoma has been almost entirely
an agricultural state manufactories
and mining having been neglected
Because of this condition the people
of Oklahoma are sending annually to
outside states millions of dollars for
articles of consumption that could
be produced in the state distributing
the Income among- the people and
largely Increasing the taxable valua-
tion of the state The purpose of the
proposed geological survey is to lo-
cate the state’s mineral deposits and
encourage capital to develop them
Professor Gould believes than an ap-
propriation for this work would cre-
ate more wealth in Oklahoma in ten
years than any ’ appropriation that
could be made for any other purpose
Several members of the legislature
who came to Oklahoma from south-
ern states are especially friendly to
the establishment of this department
W M Lindsay chairman of the Com-
mittee on geologic and economic sur-
vey lived formerly in Alabama From
boyhood he knew of land In his neigh-
borhood that was regarded "as' worth-
less and could have been bought in
any quantity at not riiore than 25
cents an acre - The state 'established
a geological survey The survey ex-
plored this land and discovered it to
be a storehouse of -jron ore' This
same land is now selling at $300 an
acre and mining has given to’’ Ala-
bama an Industrial development-that
has enriched thousands of citizens
The Rev E C Dinwiddle said" this
week that should he find it necessary
to Initiate a 'bill at the next general
election for the enforcement of pro-
hibition because of the failure of the
legislature to -enact a good law i he
would not detach it from a proposal
for a dispensary system as he’ re-
garded (he latter as essentiaj for the
propfer enforcement of state-wide pro-
hibition as he does the enforcement
feature Itself -He believes that If
prohibition were submitted to the
people now It would carry by a ma-
jority of 40000 as against the 18000
It received at the last election If
prohibition enforcement and a - dis-
pensary system are submitted togeth-
er a determined attempt will be
made to defeat both In order that
later an opportunity may be found
to vote on the question of local op-
tlon and high license which many
persons prefer to the prohibition in
its present form
Between April 25 and M$y 5 It Is
expected that most of the insane per-
sons’ at Norman will be taken to the
Fort Supply asylum They will ’ be
transported on a special train Upon
reaching the town of Tangier they
will be carried in wagons across the
country 12 miles to Fort Supply Citi-
zens of the tbwri of Supply have made
a contract with the state to bear the
expense of this overland transporta-
tion There are more than 600 pa-
tients at Norman and room at Fort
Supply' for only about i00 It comfort
is considered The remaining 100
may be left temporarily at Norman
The state at present Is In an -embar-assed
situation In providing care and
maintenance for the additional hun-
dreds of insane persons for whom
there is not room at Fort Supply On
the Indian' Territory side of the state
the insane are being held in jails and
private houses at the expend ’of the
respective counties On June 1 the
contract with the federal government
for (he care of about 200 Insane per-
sons most of them at St! Louls wilt
expire and the patients will be turned
over to the state Tlo state Is be-
lieved to have a total of about 1200
Insane persons that should be cared
for

ThenewcounfleT or Oklahoma that
began-their existence without funds
dre being placed bn a cash basis by
loans from the permanent’ school
fund of five million dollars’ 'Under
an act of the : state legislature the
board of commissioners of a county
are permitted to issue bonds at the
rate of $2 per capita for its popula-
tion as given in tbe last federal cen-
sus tbe bond Issue to be approved
by the governor The bonds bear in-
terest at the rate of 4 per cent until
paid which Is equivalent to 4 per
cent Interest for the school fund loan
The state school land commission has
authority to sell these bonds which
replenishes the fund to the amount
of the bonds sold and makes ' the
amount derived available for further
loans fo the state or counties In
this way the school land commission
engages In a' brokerage business for
the benefit of the counties and the
state Only a few of the counties
have Issued warrants for their In-
debtedness These warrants will be
retired by tho bond Issue Most of the
counties to which loans have been
made have been running on credit
The state through a loan from the
permanent school fund of five mil-
lion dollars Is preparing to retire by
a bond Issue the sum of $138592254
in warrants with interest accrued to
April 7 1908 There are outstand
ing warrants amounting to $1228-
22254 that came to -the state from
the territorial government and state
warrants based on appropriations by
the state legislature for these sums:
For expenses of the legislature

cers $25000 for salaries and' ex-
penses of the state supreme court'

the permanent school fund in the na-
tional treasury at Washington two
million has been brought to Oklahoma
The oil producers ‘ of Oklahoma
which necessarily includes' some rep-
resentation of the Standard Oil com-
pany are engaged zealously In try-
ing to convince the state legislature
that the -only fair basis for taxatibn
is a valuation of their physical prop-
erties This would embrace der-
ricks pipe lines tanks buildings etc
and wholly ignore any of the oil pro-
duced Opposing members of the leg-
islature contend that not only the
physical properties should be taxed
but that the amount of oil now in
storage in the state and the annual
output ot each well should be taxed
This makes the oil men wince Be-
cause of the lack of pipe line -and
tank 'car facilities oil producers Ini
Oklahoma have' been unable to put
their product on the market as fast
as it came from the wells and have
stored hundreds of thousands of bar-
rels in tanks and dirt basins until the
’oil’ can be carried to market' This
kind of property has escaped taxa-
tion in Indian Territory where there
was no organized territorial govern-
ment and unless taxed by the sta'te
this oil will escape free to the mar-
kets -’'The accumulation of this stor-
age oil Is accidental' and would not
again be subject to taxation if tho
i proposal that hereafter tho annual
i output of oil should be taxed Mem-
bers of tho legislature who disagree
with the oil producers say that not
to tax the annual output of the wells
would be as unreasonable as to tax
only the barns and let the horses and
cattle in -them ’escape taxation '
Control of the 'lobby ’Is’ the most
difficult task encountered by a legis-
lature The present state! legislature
following In the footsteps of the con-
stitutional convention adopted ’ rules
regulating lobbyists that If enforced
would reduce lobbying to a minimum
Politics personal friendship and the
wiles of the craft itself tend constant-
ly to bring about a relaxation in the
enforcement ot anti-lobby rules This
is proving true at Guthrie Lobbyists
are on the ground as they were in the
old territorial days and show scarce-
ly less hesitancy In button-holing
members of the legislature and sug-
gesting the “best thing to do for the
good of the country” The more Im-
portant measures In which the lobby

Notwithstanding the fact that the
republican state convention at Okla-
homa City recommended the election

election is not a certainty though
wholly probable- The national com-

trols only its four delegates at large

six delegates instructed for him - He
must have not less 'than eight votes
a majority of fourteen to win There’
are two pr three-republicans in the
