TO INSURE DEPoSIToRs.
Part of Incorporating Fees to Be
Held in Reserve.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. ll.-Insuring
depositors in Oklahoma banks against
loss through failures, by the creation
of a large state fund by reserying a
portion OF the fees charged for the in
corporation Of banks, is the novel
schemes that will be proposed by the
committee on banks and banking of
the constitutional convention. There
i little opposition to the plan on the
part Of the members OF the committee.
J. j. Curl, who is the author Of the
project, states that he is confident that
il will solve the problem OF securing
the banking deposits. Speaking of
the matter, he said
THE committee mas not yet worked
the plan u in as complete detail
as we hope 10 before we report to the
convention, but in general the plan is
as outlined above. No other state has
eve adopted a system Of securing the
depositors in the various banks, and as
a bank is a public corporation in a
sence, there is no eason why the in
terests of those who transact business
with them should not be protected as
well as their interests with other cor
porations that are Of a public service
character. do not believe that this
will be opposedby the banks, as the
per cent OF the deposits collected will
be 80 small that it will hardly be no.
ticeable."
"The stability OF the fund will be
made possible by the number of the
banking institutions that it will be
collected from. Eagle Wichita.)

its right to call for a jury. Then with
the aid Of the intelligent and high
priced lawyers, such a. they always
have, they would be able to get con-
t~inuances enough 70 make the case

tOrneys, and probably would not be
able TO get the best because Of limited
financial means. and in the end lose

many hundred OF i~nstancrs which
could be cited" II is the c9ncensus
Of opinion among those who have been
watching the convention that alfalfa
Bill" Murray and Railroad" Haskell
have succeeded in getting for the cor
porations just exactly what they
wanted The measure was put through
under pretense that it was to favor
union labor but the corporations will
reap the greater benefits.

Guthrie. Okla. What the Governor Of

besides what Haskell Of Muskogee said
Ia Baker Of weowka in the democratic
caucus Tuesday night. Baker had

ONE Baker looked at Haskell, and
seeing a look Of disgust on his face
sat down, while the members Of the

speeches were made in the caucus,

circulation though not generally cred
tied, that they worked a clever scheme
10 secure favorable action By the eau

ray that Baker favored the report
from the start but that they persuaded
him 70 make a speech against il, be-

ELECTION IN SEPTEMBER.
Date Satisfactory.--Most Politicians
Favor the Fall EIection--Tuesday
September Third.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. ll.-Charles l..
Moore Of Enid made the first move in
the constitutional convention TO defer
the time Of the election for the ratifi-
cation Of the Constitution and the cleo
tion of the state, county and congress
sional officers until fall, when he in
troduced an ordinance this morning
providing that the election for the
ratification or rejection of the consti-
tuition be held Tuesday, September 3,
1907. There has been agitation outside
of the convention for the postponment
of the election until fall, Indian Terri
tory politicians heing more favorable
u ne plan.
1t has been the opinion, however,
that the election would be held early
in the spring, necessita 0short cam
paigns by both parties.
The ordinance introduced by Mr..
Moore is as follows
"Be it resolved by the constitutional
convention of the proposed state OF
Oklahoma that the ordinance providing
for the election 1t which the proposed
constitution shall be submitted for
ratification OF rejection, and for the
election OF officers under said consti-
tuition, shall nix the date of said cleo
ton for the first Tuesday after first Mon
day in September, 1907. Eagle CWich-

Guthrie, Okla.-The action of the
Constitutional Convention in, placing
In the bill Of rights a clause requiring
that injunction cases shall be tried by
jury and the punishment fixed in that
manner instead OF by the Judge as
heretofore, is likely to cause consider
able confusion when put into effect.
There il already much criticism Of the
measure and there are those who pre-
dict all sorts of difficulty when an at
tempt is made to enforce it's provisions.
The move II recognized as a shrewd
scheme On the part of the Constitution
al Delegates TO favor the railroads, be-
cause when the law is worked out the
corporations will receive the most
benefits, while the poor people will
suffer untold prosecutions at their
hands. A prominent Democrat who is
also n Of the best Constitutional
lawyers in the new state, today cited
a case wherein the law would prove
disastrous 10 the man who has little
funds and is unable TO stand up under
litigation Of any duration. He said /:
Take the case of a farmer through
whose property a railroad corporation
is attempting to secure a right-of- way.
In Ease Of a disagreement as to the
price Of the property the farmer would
naturally seek TO e%njoin the railroad.
The injunction might be granted by
the Judge, and the defendant. the
corporation, would take advantage Of
