Luther Harrison editorial writ
er for the Oklahoman states that
politics and business as going
on as usual while the boys are
dying on the battle fields. He
states that $800000000 had
been spent to construct canton
ments for 1500000 men while
191710 cantonments for 4000-
000 men cost $210000000. He
added if labor would deny itself
the right to strike and cease de-
manding exhorbitant union initi-
ation fees on war projects it
could write its own ticket in the
nations war effort.
Alfalfa Bill Murray an-
nounces he is a candidate for
senator in the coming races
this summer. Bill states that
he will make a speaking tour of
Oklahoma in a cheese and
crackers hitch hiking campaign
if he can get enough donations
to pay his campaign expenses
and will make two or three
speeches a day as he did in 1930
Bill is now 72 years of age and
has had a life filled with activity
He claims he is as good as ever
but is he?
The administration has asked
the boards and bureaus at Wash-
ington to do what they can in
regard to saving paper. These
boards and bureaus are sending

waste of paper that could wel
be used otherwise. Some of
these bureaus clutter up the
waste baskets of the newspapers
with duplicate material several
of them on the same subject
have been ordered to go light on
paper using both sides of the
paper if necessary. This is in a
way a paper but it does not
solve the problem of cutting
these excess bureaus off the list.
The silver shirts under the di-
rection of Wm. Pelley has been
rounded up by the government
officials on a charge of seditious
activities under the espionage
act of 1917. These organiza-
tions are like the KKK of un-
savory memory in Oklahoma
some years ago and try to pull
their activities by unAmerican
actions. He was bound over in
the sum of $15000 at Indianap-
olis Ind. after his arrest. This
is tone a number of such organ-
izations under fire for the past
few years under the name of the
"Black Shirts the Purple Shirts
the Silver Shirts and various
other Shirt organizations and
all claimed to be un-American
There is no place in America for
these organizations. The KKK
charged their organization $10
for a night shirt and a hood but
were compelled to take their
hoods off after a wrestle with
the legislative body.

Senator Murray of Montana
last week introduced a bill de-
claring that "this nation can no
more survive without rubber
than it can without food and wa-
ter. His bill would appropri
ate $109000000 capital stock to
start the authoritys operations.
He is of the opinion that plants
should be constructed at decen-
tralized locations adjacent to the
raw materials. Many of the
western states are ideal locations
for this purpose. Representa-
tive Beiter of New York intro-
duced a similar bill in the house.
Taxpayers and congressmen
are not the only mortals who
have their troubles. There are
the G4 Oklahoma legislators who
voted against an anti-strike law
just a year ago. And some of
them want to be re-elected oh
so badly. If that record of the
recorded vote could only be hid
den as a military secret! But
what is written is written. Ok
lahoman.
It has been estimated by Ser
ator Reed of Kansas that pei
haps as much as $30000000 ha
been taken from the pockets c
the workers by the collectio
racketeers and $2500000 fror
Oklahoma workers alone. N
one but the collectors knot
what becomes of the money a
they do not have to account fo
it to any heads except to thei
own selves. How the name o

common sense any one or a
junch of men can get such a
strangle hold on the workers in
the defense plants as this is not
realized as yet. However the
workers in a large number of
cases are not satisfied as where
they have paid their money
and they have no assurance they
will hold the job. The money is
gone while the collector looks
'or other joiners and he is as-
sured that some one else will pay
and thus keep up the vicious cir-
)le which is paid for by all of
the taxpayers but only enjoyed
sy a few racketeers.
Some folks are drawing bigger
salaries than ever before during
their lives in the war industries
while others are being forced
into bankruptcy because of
government priorities. Then
there are quite a few others who
are working for $21 per month
in the most hazardous occupation
in the world. You dont hear
much complaining except from
certain labor leaders and poli-
ticians who fear that they may
have their rackets interfered
with. El Reno American.
There should not be any bon-
uses paid defense workers not
to mention bonuses up to $30000
mentioned recently by General
Robert C. Richardson of Califor-
nia. The American taxpayers
have too much of a load already
and such money comes in the fi-
nal from the pockets of taxpay-
ers. It is high time that Con-
gress and Washington officials
be awakened before the unity of
the nation starts to crumble.
The American people will make
all sacrifices necessary to win
this war but they have a belly-
full of this waste and extrava-
gance right now! Grove Sun.

the eminent loss of the Burmese
