Banka to Pay Assessments.
Guthrie, Okla,—With the under-
standing that Governor Cruce will en-
force an honest administration of the
bank deposit guaranty fund, it was
agreed by the hankers of Guthrie, rep.
resenting the Oklahoma State, Logaa
County und Guthrie Savings banka,
that fhey will immediately pay th«
guarantee fuhd usses&mente that they
owe. This decision followed a confer-
ence with their attorneys.
The total payment of the three
banks amounts to something like $15,
UOO, or 1 per cent of the average daily
deposits last March. The batiks have
protested payment on the grounds that
a detailed statement of the fund has
been refused them and that a 3pe< ial
assessment for the fund could be
made only to recuperate the fund when
banks failed. The special 1 per cent
assessment was made last spring.
0he Bank of Indian Territory got an
injunction agaiust intrference by the
Ktate after an attempt was made by
the banking board, with the assistance
of Adjutant General Frank Canton, to
close that concern for failure to pay
the guaranty assessment. Later, how-
ever, the Bank of Indian Territory
compromised with the state, being al-
lowed some credits on the payment.
The Guthrie banks, it develops, have
stood alone in protesting the guaranty
fund payment and against its ufces to
bolster up weak banks.
the old-fashioned literary societies
and debating clubs is reported to State
Superintendent Wilson by the head*
of the six normal schools and two irii.
evrsity preparatory schools. The Jot-
ters state that clubs and societies
been formed in each of the schools.
Great interest is being manifested in
this line of work. There are no frater-
nities in most of these institutions to
detract the attention of students from
literary* work. •

Federal Official Consults Osages.
Pawhuska, Okla.—Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior Adams, is here on
a tour of the Oklahoma oil fields. .Mr.
Adam was supervisor^ the Indians
oil and gas interests and is here to
gather data concerning the leasing of
the balance of the Osage lands. Objec-
tion to leasing the land amounting to
something like 700,000 acres, has been
■nude by the large oil companies on
the ground that the Increased produc-
tion would keep the price down. Th.
secretary is conferring with the Osages
to get their wishes in the matter.
Old Rate Case Dismissed.
Oklahoma City Okla.—The supreme
court has dismissed the case of the
Frisco railroad against the territory,
which was brought by Attorney Geu-
eral West before statehood while he
was acting ns special assistant to At
torney General Cromwell, to compel
the railroad to charge no higher rates
in Oklahoma than In Kansas. A com-
panion case brought against the Rock

Would Make It Navigable,
j . Tulsa, Okla.—That the Arkansas
river can i..* madiwnavlgable from Tnlr

I deflectors at a cost not fo exceed $],-
000,000 is the estimate of .1. H. Wheat-
ley, commissioner of water of this
city, who will submit his plan to the
government. Mr. Wheatley would
build a series of deflectors on both
sides of the river from Tulsa for a dis-
tance of 100 miles south, thus throw
lng a’t the water Into a narrow chan-
nel u, sufficient volume of water to
operate large river boats at least nine
months of the year. These deflectors
Mr. Wheatley would construct of logs
and place them opposite each other
and 700 feet apart. According to Mr. i
j Wheatley had these deflectors been
; placed in the Arkansas river just above
[ this city a few months ago, a long
strip of land twenty feet wide, now
a part of the river’s channel, would j
! have been saved to the ow*ners of the j
! land and would now be used for ag-
ricultural purposes. ,

corn is ntill the all absorbing topic for

PIT CURRENT BILLS
FIRST SAYS CRUCE
INSUFFICIENT LEVY WILL KEEP
STATE WARRANTS AT PAR.
Deficiency Musto Wait—Good Credit
Now Will Help Pay Old Debts
Later, Governor’s Idea.
Oklahoma City, Okla. Governor
Lst Cruce has issued a statement glv?
Ing the reasons of the state hoard ol
; equalization for fixing the state tag
levy at 2 mills, and from its failure to
make the levy sufficently large to take
rare of the deficit, which he estimated
will amount to $2,69S.J01.46. •
The governor quotes figures fron^
the report of the state examiner and
inapector, already made public, and
then continues:
"The board took the position that In
▼lew of the short crops that prevail
over Oklahoma, h total of 2 mills levy
upon the present valuation of property
In the state was as much as ought ta
be levied at this time. It also ascer-
tained by calculations that it would
require all of this levy to take carei
of the expenses of state government
for the current year, after setting
aside one-fourth of 1 mill for common
school purposes.
“The appropriation made by the laatj
legislature for the current expense^
for the year ending June JO. 1912,
reaches a total* amount of $2,nJ7,sl6.
Not dicing able to levy a greater
amount than was necessary to meet
the ’expenses for the current year
without oppressing the people, the
board unanimously voted to fix the
levy upon that basis, believing that it
will be best to* provide for the pay*
titant of current expenses, so as to
keep the state warrants that are be-
ing issued at par, and leaving the quo -
tion of deficiency to be adjusted by fu-
ture levies ‘if the people or the legis-
lature do not choose some other meth-
od of disposing of it.
“The board also unanimously voted
that some steps be takeil under the
provisions of our constitution provid-
ing for refunding the outfit.uidin? <b b.
at a low rate of interest and permit Its
payment to run for a esrles of years, so
as to lighten the burdens of taxation
at this time."
That of the amount of ad valorem
state taxes levied by the state board
of equalization from statehood to June
JO, 1911, $062,108.J6 remains uncollect-
ed and that the collections of state
taxes from all other sources, including
all special taxes, hat? fallen short of
the amount that the board estimated
should have been collected during the
same period, $879,115.91, fs shown by a
report made by State Examiner and
Inspector Charles A. Taylor, just made
public. ,
The report was mada primarily for
the guidance of the state board of
equalization in making the udvaiorem
state levy for the present year, and
It shows how it happens that the pres-
ent board found a deficiency of ap-
proximately £.400,000. It will ba
gathered from an examination of the
report that the board of equalization, uj*
fiscal year through its failure to make
i a sufficient levy to cover current ex-
penses of state government for each
fiscol year through its failure to make
i allowances for delinquent taxes, and
because of the fact that it overtstl-
, mated each year the amount that
I would be collected from special sources
i In addition to advalorem taxes .
