federal to township officers. It re-
mains for President Roosevelt to sign
the statehood proclamation to make
all the work Of the past two years ef-

proclamation is issued the state and
county machinery Of the new state

And then there will be forty coun-
ties on the Indian Territory side Of
the state that have not a dollar in the
treasury and none in sight for a year.
There will be forty sets Of county
officials, most Of them who have put
in six months campaigning to be elect
ed, who will have an office but no pay
for a year. There will not be a record
book or anything with which to
buy them; there will be no county jail
IN which to place the prisoners nol
any court house or funds to lease
quarters.
