Oklahoma City.—After being in ses-
sion Just about one week longer than
suggested by Governor R. L. Williams
in hie call, the extraordinary session
of the Fifth legislature has passed lntc
history.
The last business was final argu
Kent on the registration law and the
an»*-usury law.
The registration law, as passed
makes It mandatory for the county
registrar to furnish a registration cer-
tiOeate to every qualified voter In his
county who participated In the last
general election, provided the voter
still resides In the county and precinct,
The furnishing of this certificate Is
made mandatory whether or not appli-
cation for it is made.
After it was amended the hill was
repassed and the emergency section
added. It received sixty-eight votes,
which Is fifteen more than the hill got
when it was on final passage. Not one
word of opposition was voiced by the
republican side to the emergency,
though all republicans and socialists
voted against the bill, even as amend-
ed, as well as the emergency.
The antiusury law contains "real
teeth," according to the supporters of
the measure, who a»*ert It is a long
step in the direction of putting an end
to excessive interest charges in Okla-
homa in the future. It Is understood
the governor will approve the bill.
8ynopala of Measure.
Following is a brief synopsis of the
measure:
Section 1 re-enacts the present law,
and provides that the debtor may plea
as a setoff or counterclaim double the
amount of Interest charged or collect-
ed when suit Is brough'. on a loan
contract.
i Section 2 provides that the debtor
may tender to the holder of any usur-
touB contract the amount of money ac-
tually received by him, less the entire
amount of Interest charged, reserved
or collected and the failure of the hold-
er of the usurious contract to accept
such tender within twenty-four hourB
operates as a satisfaction and cancel-
lation of the entire debt. The seetton
further provides that in ease no tender
is made and suit is brought the debtor
may go into court and deposit the
amount of money actually borrowed,
less double the amount of usurious in-
terest charged or collected, together
with the cost, and If this Is not accept-
ed by the plalntilT in the case. It oper-
ates as a cancellation and satisfaction
of the debt.
By section 3 It Is provided that
where a usurious contract is made and
transferred the person making said
contract is made liable to the penalty
provided In the act.
In section 4 there Is a provision that
no suit upon a usurious contracl en-
tered Into after the passage of the act
of $300 or less shall be filed in court
unlesa an affidavit is also filed that no
usurious interest has been charged
or collected and without such affidavit
no process of the court can be issued.
Seetton 5 provides that all state
banks shall make quarterly reports to
the bank commissioner of all contracts
upon which a usurious rate of Interest
has been charged. Such reports are
to be published In the annual report
of the bank commlasloner. It furthe*
provides that when such report shows
that any bank is violating the law the
commissioner shall report the viola
tlon to the governor, who shall order
the commissioner to bring suit through
the office of the attorney general to
cancel the charter of such offending
bank.

State Auditor Has Huge Sum.
With a collection of $197,000 Febru-
ary 1, State Auditor Howard holds
the sum of $1,003,000 In cash, repre-
senting the gross production tax on
oil produced In Oklahoma since the
law went into effect last year. The
money was paid under protest, and
cannot be used by the state until after
the litigation In which the law is In-
volved Is settled.
In the event the legislature approves
the plan of settlement as suggested by
Auditor Howard, nnd Governor Wil-
liams in his message last week, the
litigation will be settled and more than
$900,000 will become available Imme-
diately for use by the state. Mr. How-
ard’s plan is that the producing com-
panies be requiretj to pay the 2 per
cent tax on oil, not Including the tax
on the royalty. The tax on the royalty
amounts to approximately $100,000.
The companies contend that the tax
should be paid by the owners of the
land who receive the royalty. Should
that plan be adopted, the auditor
would be compelled to collect the tax
on royalty from the land owners. Such
procedure would necessitate some ex-
tra work, but the state would not lose
any money by the plan, Mr. Howard
said. Before the plan eould be put Into
force, the legislature must authorize
the auditor to enter into such an agree-
ment with the companies.
The companies have agreed to drop
the suits and pay the 2 per cent tax
on oil, exclusive of the tax on royalty.
German attacks west and southwest of Vimy, in the Artois region,
j resulted In the capture of 800 yards of French first-line trenches. Paris says
i some of the positions were retaken later. The Artois region may be the
scene of a new German offensive on a large scale. It is known that there
have been many new German troops rushed to Flanders and northern France
recently.

the Black Sea coast, by the co-opera-
tion of the sea and land forces they
are driving the Turks from one posi-
tion after another to the east of Tre-
bizond and it is expected that active
operations against that important sea-
port will not be long deferred.
The Russians have occupied Witde
(Widje) and pressed forward ten or
twelve miles westward. The fleet has
destroyed in succession several shore
batteries which might have been of
assistance to the Turks, and by keep-
ing well in advance of the land forces,
and by destroying bridges over sev-
eral streams in the path of retreating
Turks, has rendered their retreat
more difficult. The fleet has been
working so close to the shore that the
warships have been reached by rifle
fire from the Turkish troops. On the
other hand, the ships have spread con-
fusion in the ranks of the Turks by
dropping shells among them.
On the left, flank, after the occupa-
tion of Koph, the Russians pushed on

The rapid Russian offensive beyond

those troops which were active in the I
Mush district before the Russian oc-1
cupation, will be entirely cut off and
that the main Turkish armies would
be surrounded. This fate has already
overtaken the Thirty-fourth division

$105,740.69 i
The January fire loss was large com-
pared with the loss of the same month
last year. Three fires contributed
about one-half. The loss at Wirt, in
the Healdton oil field, amounted to
approximately $50,000; that at Drum-

Dnimright by an overheated stove.
Fires from unknown causes and from
oil and gas explosions have entailed a
loss of $10,000 during the month, and
incendiary and defective stoves and
furnaces have caused a large loss.
During the past month two persons
were arrested on a charge of arson,
and their preliminary examinations
have been set for February 15.

Producer* Lose Before Commission.
The state corporation commission
dismissed a plea made by the attorney
general on behalf of Healdton oil pro-
ducers that the commission compel
purchasers to pay higher prices. In
dismissing the action, the commission
held that fixing of the price of crude
oil under section 2 ot the act passed
by the legislature is Impracticable.
The complaint was filed by the attor-
ney general several months ago, when
Healdton oil was selling for about 35
cents.
Pioneer Co. Accused of Cutting Rates
The Pioneer Telephone & Telegraph
Company lowered Its rates In Forgan,
according to a complaint received by
the corporation commission from the
Fort Supply Telephone & Telegraph
Company, which also operates an ex-
change In Forgan. The rate charged
by both companies was $1.25 a month
for residence phones and $2 for bust-
ness phones until the Pioneer .ewered
it* rate on residence and business
phones to $1 per month. The local
company want the Pioneer to restore
ft* former rate.
GERMANY IS TO LEVY HIGH TAXES
May Reach Up To Fifty
Per Cent.
Maximum
Berlin.—The rrmst Important parts
of the government’s tax measures
have been submitted to the Bundes-
rath, but strict secrecy Is preserved
regarding their nature. It appears,
however, that the bills have been de-
signed to furnish 500.000,000 marks of
new revenue. The publication of this
measure probably will occur before the
reassembling of the reichstag on
March 16.
It is assumed that the chief feature
of the fiscal legislation will be a tax
on extra war-time profits, as has al-
ready been decided In principle by re-
quiring firms to reserve 60 per cent
of their Increase In the earnings for
future taxation. That a rich yield
from this tax may be counted upon
Is shown by the annual report of a
number of companies which laid aside
3,000,000 marks tn 6,000,000 marks for
reserves under the law.

populous towns and a number of
smaller settlements now are inundated.
So far the only loss of life reported
was the drowning of three negroes
near Newellton when the embank-
ment gave way last week.

treaty, whereby the United States
would acquire a ninety-nine year op-
tion on the Nicaraguan canal route
and a naval liase in the Gulf of Fon-
seca for $3,000,000. Included In the rat-

AS A RESULT OF DISTURBANCES
GROWINGl OUTl OFl THE
REVOLUTON
WILSON REPORTS TO SENATE
Sixteen U. S. Soldiers Were Killed In
Various Engagements—13 Mexi-
cans Killed on Thi6 Side of
the Border
Washington.—President Wilson sent
to the senate his response to the Fall
resolution adopted last month request-
ing him to report on facts leading up
to recognition by the United States of
the de facto government of Mexico
headed by General Venustiano Carran-
za. It was in the form of a long letter
from Secretary Lansing summarizing
the events which preceded recognition
and transmitting a great volume of
data, including a list of all Americans
killed in Mexico and along the border
during the past six years.
The total number of Mexicans re-
ported killed in American territory as
a result of border trouble other than
those resulting from firing across the
border, the report says, from 1913 to
1915, inclusive, was thirteen. Ameri-
cans killed in American territory as a
result of firing across the international
line during engagements in border
towns during the same period was
three, a total of ninety-two.
The president, through Mr. Lansing,
declined to comply with that part of
the Fall resolution asking for diplo-
matic and consular reports on politi-
cal conditions and events In Mexico.
The senate was informed that it was
not compatible with public interest to
furnish this correspondence inasmuch
as it was of a highly confidential na-
ture.
As to the ability of Carranza to fulfill
his promises to protect foreign lives
and property, Mr. Lansing said that un-
der all the circumstances the de facto
government, which at the time of rec-
ognition controlled more than seventy-
five per cent of Mexico s territory, was
affording “reasonably adequate protec-
tion to the lives and property of the
American citizens.”
Seventy Six Americans Killed
The data disclosed that seventy-six
Americans were killed in Mexico in the
years 1913, 1914, and 1915, as compared
with forty-seven In the three years pre-
ceding. and that twenty civilian Amer-
icans and sixteen soldiers were killed
on American soil in the last three
years as a result of Mexicon troubles.
FREE SUGAR GOES GLIMMERING
House Caucus Decides to Continue the
Duty for the Present
Washington.—Repeal of the free su
gar clause of the Underwood tariff law
was approved as a party measure by ‘
the house democratic caucus. The
vote was 84 to 20.
As the law now stands sugar would
go on the free list May 1, with a con
sequent estimated revenue loss at the
rate of $40,000,000 annually. The re-
port which Is expected to pass both
houses before May 1, is provided for in
a bill prepared by Majority Leader
Kltchln.
Mr. Kltchin told the caucus commis
slon that the preparesness program
was going to cost fine government n
great deal of money and that the ex
pense would have to be met with as
little burden and annoyance to the pea
pie nit possible. He said that while the
committee had not formed any conclu
sions he thought the majority senti-
ment favored meeting the prepared j
ness expenditures matmy from the in- j
come tax and by resort to an excise j
tax on special articles and munitions
manufacturers.
IN THE CASE
Results Following Settlement
Show That Conditions in West-
ern Canada Are Highly
Satisfactory.
Until a few years ago Mr. Henry
Lohmann lived at Effingham, 111. He-
thought ho would better hts condition
In a new country, where he would
have wider scope for his fanning op-
erations. It would not seem essential
to refer to Mr. Lohmann, at this par-
ticular time, as of German blood, but
for the fact that so many false state-
ments have gone out as to 111 treat-
ment of Germans In Canada.
Writing from Wlllmont, Sask., un-
der date of January 30, 1916, Mr. Loh-
mann says:
“We are perfectly satisfied in this
country, and doing well up here.
“I bought a half section of land and
took up a homestead, my three sons
also took homesteads, two of them
buying each 160 acres of land as well.
I sold my homestead, and I and one of
my sons own a threshing outfit.
“The crop this year was good; the
oats went 80 to 90 bushels per acre,
and wheat went 40 to 50 bushels and
the price is fair.’’
Sam Morrow, of Millet, Alta., in
writing to Mr. J. M. MacLachlan, Ca-
nadian government agent at Water-
town, S. D., says: "I am well pleased
with the country. The climate is bet-
ter than I ever thought it could be
so far north; ideal climate for stock.
I have some colts and cattle that have
jiot been Inside of a stable In four
years. I consider this a fine country
for mixed farming. I know of farm-
ers around here who had 42 bushels
of barley to the acre and 55 bushels
of oats to the acre.”
Jacob Goetz of Piapot, Sask., had 43
acres of wheat from which he got
1,200 bushels, and got an average of
93 bushels of oats to the acre.
Golden Prairie, Sask., is a district
largely settled by South Dakotans.
Horace Blake is one of those. He
says: "The crops of 1916 were im-
mense.”
Wheat in his locality went from 40
to 55 bushels per acre; oats about 80
bushels on an average. One hundred
bushels of potatoes were grown on a
quarter of an acre of land; twelve po-
tatoes weighed 30 pounds. His horses
run out all winter, and come in fat.
He raised excellent corn, and fat-
tened hogs on It. He concludes an
Interesting letter by saying: "There
are schools in every district. The
people here are most all hustlers and
are fast pushing to the front. When
1 first came up here on almost every
half section stood a little 12x14 shack,
now almost everyone has real modern
houses and bams.”
