SATURDAY, J t ARCH 1, 1902
Trom Oklahoma Is The Co-
Operative Company.
Judp Strang's Decision
He Holds that Any Concern that
Permits Its Members to For-
L._ifeit Investments for De-
fault Is Violating
the ^aws.
J. C. Strang, attorney general
for Oklahoma, says that any-
home a -opera ive company or
any other company requiring in-
vestments by m( mbers was illegal
and should not >e permitted to do
business in Okl .honia if its plan
of business wa; based upon the
endless chain sy ;tem, or if by de-
fault of payment at any time the
defaulting mctn >er would lose all
the money he ha 1 paid in. This
Statement was t ade after he had
read the adve tisement of the
Home Co-opera ive company of
Kansas City, Mo., in a Chandler
newspaper.
A Chicago cooperative compa-
ny applied for ir formation recent-
ly as to whethei it would be per-
mitted to organ ^.e in Oklahoma.
Its bylaws show d that after two
months' partner!. of dues a mem-
ber would forfc t his investment
if he should pe-mit his dues to
lapse. Attorne . General Strang
notified the com >any that it could
not organize u der tV.e laws of
Oklahoma as le considered its
business illegal.
Companies w 10 cannot meet
the legal reqrir ments of organ-
ization in Okli loma cannot be |
prosecuted criini lally i they pro-
ceed to transac busines. Civil
action can be in- itutcd, however,
for failure to ob y the law requir-
ing cacti comp; tiy to organize.
The manager a id agent of such
companies arc c ich si hject to a
penalty of 1500, The suit must
be brought in ' he county where
the offense is ommitted. The
defendants, if c< nvicted, may be
sent to jail for i lilure to pay the
judgment. Sho lid the tines be
■viid and the bus ncss be resumed,
.e company ar I its agents can [
; \rain be proscct ted.
Several farmc "s' mutual insur-
r.nce companies sought business
in Oklahoma las year by sending
their agents cl mdestinely into
this territory. 1 'ount) attorneys
were instructed 3 watch for them
.ml cause their arrest. The at-
orney general ] oposed to secure
judgments and b'ing suit for col-
lection against 1 tie companies in
1 heir hone state . This intimid-
ated die compa lies and caused
then to withdra\' their agents.
"I do not thin : that such com-
panies as I have described should
be allowed to use the United
States mails, an 1 I believe that
they will bedebrrred when tlior-
cughly investigated," said Attor-
ney General Strang. "After they
have been forbidden to use the
mails their prosecution would be
an easy nfatter if they persisted
in continuing their business."
J. W. McConnel, assistant in-
surance commissioner, said that
the only co-operative home com-
panies authorized to do business
in Oklahoma wasone in Wichita,
Kas., and another in Edmond,
Okla. The Kansas City compa-
nies will be required to comply
with the law or be forced out of
business.
False Witness.
The Stroud Messenger lands
the following hot one yn our
townsman, W. H. Coyle. The
World will venture the assertion
that Mr. Coyle hi's been misquot-
ed by that paper:
"Last Tuesday night Townsite
Coyle held a meeting at the school
house three miles north of Baker.
Not many were present who were
interested in giving the right of
way through their farms to Mr.
Coyle or their land for townsite
purposes. It is thought, however,
that a townsite will either be es-
tablished on George Castiller's or
or Mr. Hemmer's farm. It is said
that some of the farmers express-
ed their opinion that Stroud was
good enough market for them and
Coyle denounced our town in
thunderous tones, saying that
Stroud was the wildest market
east of the Rocky Mountains.
This brought about a pretty hot
argument and Coyle was told how
far Stroud was ahead of Guthrie
in the cotton market ever since
the town was established."
"Colicky."
In the Oklahoma City council
ten years henc: Alderman Brown
of the Ninety-Sixth ward moved
to grant a franchise extending
the street and sewerage system
to Guthrie, a suburban hamlet
adjoining the city on the north.
Alderman Jones of the One Hun-
dred and Thirty-Second ward sec-
onded the motion, and it was ad-
opted.—Oklahoma City Oklaho-
man.
One of the things which will
confront the farmer in the next
two years will be fancy prices
for all kinds of hogs, and no hogs
to ship. The large supply this
winter of very light hogs on the
market, indicates a great deple-
tion in breeding stock. The man
who has been wise enough to re(-
tain brood sows for the beginning
of a new crop of pork, will be the
man who will reap the greatest
benefit from the present sacrifice
of young stock. —Anthony Kas.,
Republican.
No Eve In This.
It is now time for the women of
this country to call a halt. From
time immemorial, she has been
accused of leading men astray—
even Miss Eve got Adam into
trouble -but here comes the Mus-
kogee Phoenix in an article claim-
ing that a Territory woman, Mrs.
Morgan, is responsible for the
Dawes Commission being thrust
upon an innocent and unsus-
pecting public. We cannot be-
lieve the story and we think every
woman in the territory has just
cause for damages if the story
proves untrue. Accused of being
responsible for the Dawes Com-
mish! For Heaven's sake be
more charitable and don't lay
such blame at lovely woman's
door.—Sapulpa Democrat.
Late Saturday afternoon last
Judge McAtee gave Sol Temple
his freedom on bonds for his ap-
pearance before the district court
for and in Grant county, in the
sum of $1,500. Sol was turned
loose about 5 o'clock in the after-
noon and when he stepped out of
the jail Sheriff Porter says he
shed tears, having become attach-
ed to the place. In bidding good-
bye to his comrr.des in confine-
ment he cried, r.s he hated to
go out into the cold world and go
to buying horses again. Howev-
er, Sol desired to get out and
take care of his family, who have
been supported by Grant county
for some time past.—Enul Wave.
A Wichita paper tells of a
young man from Enid who at-
tended a dress ball at that place
one evening during the cattle-
men's convention. He was gaz-
ing at the large hall, the swell
orchestra, the profusion of flow-
ers and the beautiful women in
evening costume, when a Wichi-
ta friend proudly asked him if he
had ever seen such sights before
and the young man replied: "No,
not since I was weaned."
Joseph Porter, a prominent res-
ident of West Guthrie, had his
name placed on our subscription
list last Saturday.
