n Radical Ruling - Subscribers
Must Pau UD.

The Postoffice Department. at Wash.
ington seems to have n particular spite
mt newspapers, rs well rs at those who
are not able to or do Vt pay in advance
for their paper. The ruling (Which is
now in effect) is, that il subscriber 70
weekly paper becomes more than one
year in arrears the publisher is required
to place one cent stamp on each and
every paper he sends to such subscriber.
Daily papers cannot, according To the
ruling send ont papers If the subscriber
Is over three months in arrears, unless
postage is paid at the rate of one cent
Tor each four ounces. On account OF this
ruling many weekly and small daily
papers will likely be forced to suspend
and the big dailies and trust publica-
tons, that TRUST no one, will reap the
harvest
We have numbers Of subscribers on
our list who are more than year i'm ar.
rears, but we are not afraid to trust them
and believe they will pay rs when we
have n chance TO see them, but we can.
not afford to place one cent stamp on
each paper every week (as they probably
would not want to pay this extra post
age), nor do we want to discontinue
sending them the paper because they
are negligent in settling. There is only
one thing for us to do. This is to send
statements to all our delinquent sub.
scribers (who have not recently received
statements), which we propose to do in q
few days, and trust to their honesty to
settle up promptly, before we are com.
PEELED to erase their names from our
mailing list. Remember, that while we
have trusted you and are willing to con-
time to trust you, the Postmaster
General says you are not a legitimate
subscriber if you owe for more than one
year.

Smallpox.

IL has been reported TO DIR. H..
Lockwood, President of the County
Board of Health, that there are
four cases of smallpox in the fam
lily of Tolbert Cole, on Twelve
Pole, near the mouth of Buffalo
Greek. Aud that there have been
three or four exposures Also one
case and seven exposures in the
family of A, +. Malcolm, Of Buffalo
creek. The smallpox situation
seems to he growing worse, as new
cases are developing In different
parts ot the county. The latest
case reported up TO this time, being
the son of Anthony Plymale, on,
Buffalo creek. All the other mem
bers OF his family have been expos
ed, and are under quarantine.
Joshua Pack, on Big Laurel, has a
very severe case, and there has been
some twelve or fourteen exposures
from him. The situation is being
well handled and the spread pre-
vented, after the development Of
the case, but the trouble seems to
be, that people travelling around,
contract the disease from other
counties, where proper quarantine
restrictions are lacking, aud come
here and take the disease.
The quarantine has been raised
from Felt Byran's family. where
Bill Hughes had it, and all danger
is now passed, aud our town is
again free from The dread disease

ANNUAL REPORT OF
SM0CK COMPILED
Merits or Defects of Guaranty Law
Not Discussed -Advisability Of
Limiting Number of Banks.

Guthrie, Ok. Nov. 19-H H. Smock,
state bank commissioner. has compiled
his annual report, which will be issued in
about three weeks. II will contain a
statement of the condition of each state
bank at the close of business September
23. Commissioner Smock will not discuss
the merits or defects of the guaranty
banking law beyond a brief reference to
the difficulties of the commissioner in
regulating the number of banks in each
town. The guaranty law ostensibly makes
one bank as safe and sound as any other
thereby permitting new bank instantly
to enjoy all that older banks, by care and
economy, have acquired. Commissioner
Smock has taken the position that even
though deposits in all state banks are
insured by the guaranty law, the number
of banks in a town should be limited to
the amount of business in the community.
For that reason in certain instances he
has refused to issue certificates authoriz-
ing newly organizing banks to engage In
business. The question is now in the
state supreme court and may be carried
to the United States supreme court.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Nov l9-Not in
many years has such a sensational expose
of attempted bribery occurred here as
that in the case concerning the contract
for the local Ugh school building, involving
an expenditure of practically 100000,
which came out yesterday The affair i'm
plicates a former building inspector of St.
Louis and a man of this city purportins
to have represented the former inspector.
Amounts of from $500 to several thousand
dollars are alleged to have been named in
the proposed bribegiving.
President Z. |, Leach of the board OF
education makes the statement that he
was approached by a stranger who openly
offered him (Leach) $500 for his vote in
giving the contract to j. Harry Randall.
Frank Merrill member of the board,
states that he was offered $1,000 for his
vote to swing the contract. j. A. Pettis'
secretary of the board and chairman Of
the committee which should make recon-
mendations concerning the awarding OF
the contract, states that man offered
him $1,000 for his vote. Con Ehret,
another memberof the board, said ne was
approached but proceedings stopped before
any amount was named.

WILL Be BIG THING
FOR CITY OF v|N|TA
Bank Journal Will Give Vinita
Unique Distinction and Widely
Advertise the City.

In all probability Vinita will have the
unique distinction of being the home of
the first publication ever issued devoted
to the bank deposit guarantee law. Messrs.
Malone and Barrows for years publishers
and newspaper brokers, are in our city
and have agreed to publish a first-class
bankers magazine devoted to the new
guarantee deposit banking law and the
business interests of Oklahoma, provided
the Commercial Club or the citizens of the
city will guarantee them a list of 500
subscribers with which to start the publ
cation.
The Chieftain believes this magazine
will do more to advertise Vinita to the
world than any other agency. 1t will be
read in every state in the Union by bank
ers. monied men and politicians who
wish to know more about the Oklahoma
banking law. We predict great circula-
ton for the magazine and hope to see
Vinita secure the enterprise. Not only
state bankers in other states will be in
terested in the magazine, but national
bankers, also, will want to know how the
new law is working in the state of Okla
homa.
We understand that Messrs Malone &
Barrows have agreed to give the city in
which they publish the Bank Journal
half page advertisement free of cost for
one year. OF course, Vinita wants the
distinction of being the home of the only
journal of this kind in the United States.
1t will be an advertisement worth while.
The committee appointed by the Com
mercial Club, Messrs. Winner, Harris and
Smith, to confer with these gentlemen,
has met and gone thoroughly over the
proposition and win report favorably on
the matter to the Commercial Club.
