Americans and Arbitration.

There Is large amount OF rank mis-
understanding abroad concerning the
nature OF the proposal on the part OF
the American delegates at the interna-
t!oHal peace congress at The Hague.
for a permanent arbitration tribunal.
Some newspapers OF prominence are
thoughtless enough 10 denounce the
project. The New York Journal Of
Commerce points out the absurdlty OF n
recent declaration BY the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, 10, the effect that had "sucn n
tribunal existed the decision In the re-
cent controversies would have gone
wholly or in part against u.s." The
Journal OF Commerce wants TO know
OF the Chicago paper II we are relying
on our numbers and dollars to provide
ourselves with sufficient armies and
fleets to assert our rights by force
against all contradiction. Such an idea
does not express the sentiment OF the
American people.
The expression OF the Inter-Ocean In
dicates that It does not understand the
purpose nor the spirit OF the proposed
arbitration. Arbitration, says the Jour-
ma! OF Commerce. whether permanent
or occasional. Is not an ingenious de-
vice to give the United States every
thing II claims without the trouble and
expense OF fighting for II; 1t Is n method
Of avoiding fighting; its results must
always d!sappoInt one and may often
d!sappolnt both litigants. The Journal
pertincrtly adds:
Our national policy has been steadily In
support Of arbitration az u substitute for
war: The decisions have sometimes beer
In our favor and sometimes adverse
Shall We cxpoRe our own folly or wicked
ness and insult tho rest Of tho world b.

| Guthrie: The case of the Guthrie
National bank against the city Of
Guthrie, decided last week In favor OF
court, Is one OF great Importance TO
the citizens who have been here since
the opening OF the territory. Soon
after the opening the people in the
different subdivisions now comprising
the city OF Guthrie without warrant
OF law organized city governments
which undertook to preserve orde-, to
police the city and io determine the
rights OF claimants 10 the possession Of
certain lots.
The financial affairs OF these self.
created organizations were operated
chiefly on credit, no attempt being
made TO levy property taxes. and the
revenues derived from fines and II.
censcs were INADEQUATE for their sup.
port. When legally constituted mu.
nicipality was organized by the first
legislative assembly these self consti.
tutcd governments went out of exist
ence. owing in the aggregate a sum
approaching 5000 This assembly
passed law requiring the Logan
county dis,ric, judge to appoint n
commission TO audit the claims which
deserved payment anu upon the ap.
proval of the commissions findings bv
the court the city council was directed
To levy taxes upon the several subdi-
visions for the amounts formerly con-
tracted by each.
hr iah - -. a.
for the debts contracted by the differ
ent provisional governments has been
stubOornly contested ever since the
commissions findings were reported.
II was FIRST held 10y the supreme court
Of the territory that the act fixing The
liability on the property of the city
was valid. This decision was rendered
in ls9.. A year or two later. ia the
case OF the New Vienna bank against
the city Of Guthrie, that decision was
overruled, and since that time the re-
ports OF the supreme court teen with
ike decisions rendered in the cases OF
Guthrie and Oklahoma City, which
was somewhat similarly situated.
One of the las: decisions directed the
district court of Logan county To dis
miss the enti G proceedings and all OF
the claims then pending, and this or
der was dul- made. From this order
thc Guthrie National baul; which holds
between $1,000 and s. .O0J of claims AL
lowed uv the commission, appealed to
the territorial supreme court. where
the action of the lower court was af-
hrmcd, and then taken Ia the United
states supreme court. There the ac-
tion OF the territorial supreme court
was reversed, the law of the first leg.
iNlative assembly held valid and the
claims sustained n valid claims against
the city OF Guthrie.
None Of the other claimants excep,
the Guthrie National banks prosecuted
any appellate proceedings from the
actions of the courts OF the territory.
and whether the effect OF the decision
"f the United States supreme court i
broad enough TO reinstate all claim
ants and settle the entire indebtedness
of the kangaroo governments on the
city, or whether il will be con fined To
the Indebtedness held by the Guthri.
National bank only, remains To be
seen.
In the settlement OF this question
very great interest will be taken. not
only by Guthrie, but by other towns
which originally were controlled by
similar unauthorized city governments.

Council Hin No. (. ur,.I,d.


The Courier of Ponca City in a recent
issue says: Judge Yurford has handed
down an exhaustive decision fully COW
ering the mandamus case Of Beamer
VI. Hopkins. The questions involved
in this case were brought 10 issue by
the refusal OF Auditor Hopkins To %.
h. Mr.. Beamer's warrant for care of
deaf and dumb and blind. The auditor
held that under Council bill No. .
there were no funds available for the
payment of such warrants. The oili
in question Is one that was claimed TO
have passed over the governors veto.
and under its provisions no money fo,'
the care of the deaf, dumb and blind
would be available before :he last
quarter OF the year.
The judge holds that Council Bill
No. , is imperative because after hav-
ing been vetoed, IL did not receive he
'cqrired two-thirds majority To maize
IL n legal act, and issues n p-rempiory
to issue warrants upon the treasury TO
pay The p.siniiff.
This decision IS based upon p,ece-
dents taken from similar cases in other
states, and establishes very clearly the
law as To vctoes. No bill can become
u law without receiving the constitu-
lional two-thirds majority. This bill
upon FIRST vote after its return failed
10 receive this majority, but upon n
motion tn reconsider the required ma
jority was secured. There = no pre-
cedent for such procedure in the re-
cords Of Congress or legislatures. The
vote upon vetoed hill is vote TO re-
consider, and whether il susiains or
oyerrules the executive, IL IL final aud
cannot itself be reconsidered. II was
upon this universal role of legislation
that the decision was based.

One OF the most delightfully."- humorous as

absence oi 4 sense of humor. Some Ameri-

have wiped out the Spanish ownership Of
nearly hall the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three cen
turies OF squeezing the colonies that fol-
lowed his discoveries in South America and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
