COALOUTPUT
IS REDUCED
One Fourth in Oklahoma
Gas Makes IHrOadS
on Use Of II

Washington, Jan. Indications
are that the production OF coal in Ok
lahoma during the year 1908 was a de
crease OF 25 per cent compared with
the production Of the state In 1907 The
decrease In Missouri was about Is per
cent and that In Arkansas between 25
and a5 per cent
Il Is estimated that only about 10
per cent OF the loss In producing in
these states was due to the financial
depression while about per cent was
due to the exceptionally warm
weather that prevailed during the first
three months and the last three months
Of 1908, which reduced the usual win.
ter demand
The main cause Of the decrease in
the coal production was the increased
consumption OF oil and natural gas
throughout Oklahoma, Texas and
Louisiana, which caused about per
cent OF the decrease IN the production
of Oklahoma coal The bulk Of the
oil came from the well in the vicinity
of Beaumont Texas, and increased
quantities from the Glenn pool, located
near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Except In a
few cases the production Of coal was
not in any way affected in any Of
these states by shortage Of cars or
labor.
Nearly all OF the mines We're idle
during April, May and a part Of June.

settlement Of the wage scale. but this
did not materially decrease produc.

lahoma is now extensively used for

No. The coal once consumed at Fort
Smith, Ark, has been replaced by gas
produced locally and the demand for
domestic as well as for steam coal
at TexarlSaana, Ark. and Shreveport,
La, has been supplied by natural gas
from the Caddo gas wells, located mid.

port, and Oklahoma City, Shawnee,

EXTEND TAX
PAYING DATE

Guthrie lda., Jan. 15.-If through
error of tax assessors Of boards OF ap-
praisers unfair or illegal assessments
have been made for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1909, a remedy is pro
vided through the Bryan-Iiarrison-Coyn
which received the signature of Cover
nor Haskell yesterday afternoon.
The measure has a statewide signifi.
cance, however, in that its chief pro
vision is that which extends the time
for payment of the first half of taxes
levied for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1909. and the deficiency for the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1908, to March
10, 1909. After that date taxes may
be collected in the manner provided
BY law.

Interesting COIlOquy
on Floor Of Senate

Washington, Jan. 15.--This colloquy
took place on the floor Of the senate
between Senators Curtis and Lodge:
Senator Curtis Let me ask the
senator If he thinks there is a senator
on the floor Of this house who would
ask a department to hold an incom-
petent clerk?"
Senator Lodge 81 am afraid, Mr.
President, since the senator asks me
that question, that we have all of us
in both houses done it a great many
times"
It is good thing for Senator Curtis
that he did not put that question to
Senator owen or Senator Gore. It
would have given either of them a
fine opportunity to express the opin-
ion of 2 good many government depart
mental employees who are now and
have for a long time been holding
their jobs in old Indian Territory by
grace Of the recommendation of Sena-
tor Curtis, and not because of their
ability. 1t would have given the okla
homa senators a chance to have de-
livered an interesting bit Of informa-
tion about how Indian Territory was
for so long, and still is made The

ticians who are in the way elsewhere

RECLAMATION ACT
CONTINUED from page ~.


,gislation affecting the reclamation
arid lands in the western states. =
Senator Borah in speaking of the
natter recently said that 1t seemed
referaIble for the government to
.andle only those projects in which 1t
hight be difficult to enlist private en-
.erprise TO handle those II was willing
o. take up on business asis.
In its simplest terms, the friends of
exclamation in the west are saying,
hat this means that the government
in the future will handle only the
dubious projects of which the outcome
is more or less doubtful while private
enterprise will be permitted to take
up those projects in which profits are
easy and apparent, 1t is pointed out
that there is still vast field for such
activities and that the demand for ir-
rigated lands as the number of peo-
pie increases who know how to farm
them Is growing all the time.
Secretary Ballinger as previously
stated, has made clear that he is In
sympathy with the largest possible en-
listment of private enterprise In this
business. The committees Of the SEN
ate and house will agree with him;
but the people of the west will not,
If reports from that section are re-
liable. The people instead Of having
the irrigation opportunities of the
west turned over to the corporations
want the government to modernize the
reclamation act and go ahead with the
work,
The lack of available fu44ds has con-
siderably interfered with the work on
some Of the big projects causing much
suffering Of people who took lands in
the expectation of holding them until
water should be turned on and they
would become valuable. Senator
Borah said that the committee would
recommend plan for the issue of
s30,000,000 in bonds to complete the
the government Is at present inter-
ested. The security will be the re-
ceipts of the service from lands and
water. But with the government
guaranteeing the bonds they cannot
be sold at per cent
After this is done the government
will withdraw from reclamation as
much as possible IL the committee
recommendation carry.
1t is urged that private capital can
do the work more rapidly and Is able
to give better inducements to set
tleds, to help them perfect title sooner
and in various ways place settlers in
an attitude of independence more
readily than the government can do.
There liz going TO be = great flght
against this programme for the west
ern peoese have more confidence in
the reclamation service than IN pri-
waite enterprise. They want the Carey
act amended so that the government
may treat settlers as well as II en-
ables private corporations to treat
them.
It Is said that the conservation fight
will also be introduced in the situation
and az the new movement has the sup
port OF the powerful business interests
OF the entire west 1T would not be sur
prising IL some radical changes will
be forthcoming In the near future.
