Government Practice
dart-more. Okla. May 17. Its-solution
adopted by the Oklahoma State
I'rtfss association in annual session
here Saturday memorializes congress
to enact a law prohibiting unwar-
ranted and ruinous competition with
the printers of the land" by the gov-
ernment's "supplying to the consum-
ing public stamped envelopes printed
at less cost than the expense to the
printer of an envelope of equal grade."
The resolutions also urged the legis
lature and state officials to assist in
bringing about a reform in the con-
duet of public printing and reiterated
an established opposition to a state
pr.in.tery.
Enid was selected as the next place
of meeting and the association ad
journed after electing officers as fol
lows: President U. S. Russell of
Shawnee; first vice president J. P.
Renfrew of Alva; second vice presi-
dent Mrs. A. L. Kates of Claremore;
third vice president Horace W. Shep-
part of Altus; secretary B. P. Bron-
son of Thomas; national committee-
man Sidney Suggs of Ardmore.
Following are the resolutions in full
adopted by the association:
"Vherean for many years the gov-
ernment through the postofiiee de-
partment has been engaged in un-
warranted and ruinous competition
with the printers of the land by sup-
plying to the consuming public
stamped envelopes printed at less cost
than the expense to the printer of an
envelope of equal grade; and
"Whereas no other business trade
or profession Is thus brought into ac-
tual competition with the government;
therefore
"Be it resolved that we the mem-
bers of the Oklahoma State Press as-
of such envelopes is wholly confined
to government ottices banks business
and professional men of the first ranks
who would in every instance have
their printing done elsewhere if this
unfair competition of the postoffice
department were removed.
'Believing that the most good can
be accomplished by concentrated ac
tion we respectfully request the Ok
lahoma representatives in congress to
support the bills now pending having
for their purpose the discontinuance
of this very practice to-wit: The
Xelson bill in the senate and the
Touvelle bill in the house.
"Be it further resolved that the
members of the association supple-
ment this memorial to our representa
tives by personal letters appealing to
their spirit of fair play to the end
that the bills above mentioned may
receive their cordial and hearty sup-
port. We commend the action of the
Western Publisher the Publishers'
Auxiliary and all kindred publications
and agencies which have joined in
leading this battle for the right; we
appeal to all loyal Oklahomans state
and county officials bankers profes-
sional and business men to show their
disapproval of this practice by dis-
continuing entirely the use of gov-
ernment printed envelopes having in-
stead the work done by Oklahoma
newspaper men who are banded to-
gether as no other one agency in
lifting of this the best state in our
effective and .oving labor for the tip-
union. "We the members of the State
Press association express our ap-
proval of the effort made in the last
legislature to secure the enactment of
a law whereby all county state and
sociation do hereby most earnestly . township printing shall be done in
request our honorable representatives the county and township where said
in the United States senate and house work originates whenever possible
to join in the movement to put an end j Believing that the upbuilding of Ok-
to this unrighteous competition of the lahoma demands a loyalty to home
government with one of its most loyal institutions we earnestly urge our
and active agencies the country press.
We submit this memorial in the earn
est conviction that any and all ar
gument favoring the present policy of
the postoffice department can be eas
ily overcome if the facts at issue are
only considered. The principal affir
mative argument advanced by the
postoffice department in support of
the present practice is that the sale
of printed stamped envelopes mini
mizes the return of undelivered let
ters to the dead letter office while
it in a well known fact that the use
legislature and state officials to as-
sist us in bringing about a reform in
the conduct of public printing. We
reiterate our opposition to the es-
tablishment of a state printery public
printing in Oklahoma to be divided
among the local printers.
"We respectfully request of the
state corporation commission a read-
justment of freight rates on print pa-
per within the state there being at
this time a gross discrimination on
material used by the printers of Oklahoma.

I'p to the sixth inning the teams had
an even break each having made two
tallies. In the sixth Rogers was sub-

the visitors soon showed a great liking-
for his Oiiei'ings and before they
could be ihecked they had run their
score to five
In the seventh the locals got busy
with the willow and tied the score.
The t isitors. however got another in
the eigh'.h and ninth and the locals
could not regain the last game. The
