Oklahoma has pnfartunately
been the aceae of an unusual
number of stock promotion
schemes of more or less ques-
tionable character Vfboee plaus-
ible propositions hare won the
confidence of prospective invest
ors to their eventual financial
detriment The postal author!-

to time for misuse of
but there are others

who have
been clever enough to raise false
rapes in the minis of their vie-
action
It is bad enough
prweeatio Jot tteir
that the peo- sn 1 navy
pie of Oklahim themselves Government licenses hereafter
should be the victims of such will be required for nil shore
sharpers but it is eou worse statious and for steamers having
for the reputation of the state J Am jrican ports Those licenses
when people elsewhere buy lots are being prepared based on in-
in more or le-s mythical town- jspaction by government experts
sites in Oklahoma or stock In There are several hundred shore
Oklahoma corporations which stations along the Atlantic and
were laver intended to do any-
thing but enrich their promoters
through the proceeds from stock
titles
A shrewd busines man often
will say that-a man who invests
in any proposition of that sort
deserves to be bitten but it
must be remembered that these
iuvestors are too often the vic-
tims of their friends A "lead-
ing citizen” of - the ' community

new enterprise His friends

have in the cominuuity Such
transactions as that would come
within the purview of the propos (

The banking law fortunately
gives the banking department
ample supervision over the es-
tablishment of new banks and it
is extending Its supervision in
far as the law will allow to pro-
motion schemes ia connection

Unfortunately however - the In-
surance department does not
have a corresponding supervis-

TF5 government inspectors
are required to visit the shore
I tations and ships and to report
upon the equipment and effici-
ency of instruments These re-
ports are to be made the basis of
licenses Issued by the govern-
ment No station or ship will be
permitted to operate a wireless
plant without such license
Wireless operators also must be
licensed
Under the new system some
of the navaletatlons on the south

Alaska where there are no com-
mercial stations will be open for

placed upon our shoulders a re-
sponsldiUty that we shouMnot

By our Votes on Nov & we ad-
mitted (at least partil) failure
in the conduct of the Agricul-
ture Department of our State
Government —a department tha
handle more than a half million
dsilare annually of funds contrib-
uted by all classes of our citizen-
ship The good citisens of every pro-
fession joined us in saying that
conditions In that department
were unsatisfactory but in the
Bill adopted they concede to us
the right to control this depart-
ment and in order to protect us
from the domination of the ioo
room lo-vfor and tim ward ' poll

upon the purt of Utu farmers it
is simply a question of activity
or indifference ‘
