REPORT OF STATE
BANK COMMISSIONER.

Oklahoma is no longer an infant
in the banking industry. It's people
have money and they put ii in the
bank. On Jnne 1, 1907, there was on
deposit in the 293 state banks $13. .329,-
1883. This does not include national
banks This shows an increase Of
over $3,000.000 in the last year. One
of the prominent features of the con
dition Of these banks is that they
show surplus and undivided profits
amounting to $9S5.0OO, with an aver
age reserve of 46 per cent.
These banks are located all through
the territory and tGis sum OF money
is IN constant and rapid circulation
among the people, doing more actual
work than many times that amount
locked up in the great banks of the
big cities.
The banks of Oklahoma are only I'm
the beginning of their usefulness and
development. Nowhere in the coun-
try will the next ten years witness
such a growth as here in Oklahoma.
These banks are starting out right
and there is not the slightest doubt
that they will keep pace with the tire
mendous development OF the new
state

primary has extended up there is
illustrated BY recent editorial in the
Salina Journal, as follows:
The Topeka Capital in an editorial
suggests that all of the congressman
be nominated next year by primary
election Since the primary Will
doubtless be held in the First and
Second districts. the precedent having
been established the Capital thinks
that the same policy should be adop-
ted in all of the other districts. Con-
gressman Madison of the Seventh has
declared in favor of II, and so has
Congressman Reeder OF the Sixth
II we are To- have nominations for con
gressmen by primary elections the
state should take hhe matter in hand
and order a primary for state officers.
The congressional committees should
call the congressional primaries for
the same day that the primaries are
held and the state committee should
recommend that all county committees
call primaries for county candidates
on the same date. In this way we
could test the merits OF the primary
where all candidates are nominated on
the same day. The new chairman
Mr. Moore, has indicated that ne
favors a primary Since so many Of
the politicians who are not classed as
square dealers are announcing Them
selves in favor OF a primary. why not
have one next year for everything?
Mr. Hornaday IN his letter suggests
that a primary now would give us
some experience We could see the
weak points as well as the strong
ones aad be able to frame up a wiser
law when the legislature meets In.
stead of advocating primary simply
for congressman. we would suggest
that the papers interested In a gen
eral primary take pp and agitate hhe
question as TO why Il Is not desirable
to have primary for the nomination
OF all officers OF the state on the
same day, as far as can be ordered by
the state committee. Il can control
as 10 state officers aud it's recon-
mendationa would doubtless be very
largely followed by the county com
mittees and the congressional com
mittees. Wichita Eagle
