DECISION SAVES
$4,000 PER YEAR
important Question Raised is Whether
Restrictions Placed on Full
bIoods Land is Valid.


| Muskogee. Okla. Aug. 1.-THE de
cision Of Judge Campbell in the In
dian land title suits at Muskogee will
save Uncle Sam an expense account
Of $4,000 per year, to say nothing OF
court costs to both sides in the cases.
Incidently it will cause several gov
ernment representatives, who are
drawing fat salaries, to lose their jobs
OF the force regularly employed for
more than a year by the government
on these suits there are three who
draw $4,000 per year each. twenty-five
clerks and stenographers who draw
$4,000 annually. besides q host of
outside men who work occasionally,
but are not on the list of regulars
Added to this have been constant
trips of assistants to the attorney gen
eral from Washington who come down
to lend counsel.
Under the decision the government
is wasting this money, because it is
not party at interest and cannot ap-
pear as plaintiff in it's own name.
But the decision is likely to reach
much farther in this respect. A large
part of the work in the Office of Com
missioner J. George Wright is based
on the assumption Of the government
that it has guardianship right. This
is denied by the court and therefore,
it is but natural to suppose that there
will be heavy dropping off in the
work, corresponding decrease
in the number of employees. The
same is true in the Indian agency, but
to a lesser degree.
One of the most important points
raised in this connection is whether
the act of congress extending the re-
over the fullbloood Indians
for period of twenty-five years af
ter they had taken their allotments, is
valid. 1t is true, however, that the
court of claims has passed upon this
point to certain degree IN sustain /
ing the McCumber amendment.
The Campbell decision will have the
direct effect OF transferring from the
federal to the state courts a vast
OF legal business.

GUBERNATOR|AL
RACE LOOMING UP
Alfalfa Bill Murray at GuthrIe-Will
BE Candidate for the
Nomination.

Guthrie, OKLA, Aug. H. Alfalfa
Bill" Murray came to town yesterday
wearing a brand new hat adorned
with dust, and carrying tent-like UNI
brella- His hands were brown and
hard and if Murray was in poor
health when he left the first legisla-
ture, he bore no signs of it this week
He was on his way to Saltwater as a
delegate to the Farmers State Insti-
tute. Among rural democrats, Muir.
Tray at this time probably is the most
talked of man in Oklahoma and there
is some conversation about him even
among democrats who live in towns
and take hand in politics. The belief
is growing that the man who gets the
democratic nomination for governor,
viii have to beat Murray
All this talk about Murray has aris-
en- without him saying a word--his
policy for the last year having been
to stay close on his farm at Tishom-
ingo, keep out of the newspapers and
engage in no controversies. Murray
will be candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination all right, but he can
not be induced to announce the fact
He smiles at questions and begins tell
ing about the 200 acres of fine corn
he has raised this year and the fact
that this season he has grown the
first crop of timothy ever raised in
the Washita Valley-two acres of it.
Despite his discreetness, one does
not have to be long with Murray to
find that what he is thinking and do
ing these days is controlled is no way
by Governor Haskell, though the two
once were fast friends. 1t is suspect
ed that when Murray gets ready to
say that he is candidate for the CUB
nomination he win submit
a platform OF his own to the people of
Oklahoma that platform, should ii
ever be issued, will be the most re-
markable personal document ever pre-
pared by an Oklahoman. Murray is as
full Of ideas as granary is of wheat

WARDEN'S OFFICE
OUT OF BUSINESS
Attorney General West Holds Treas
urer is Not Authorized to Pay
Warrants OF Warden.


Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 1.-THE state
game and fish warden's office is. prac-
tically put out of business by an opin-
ion of the attorney generals office to
the state treasurer, advising him that
he would not be authorized to pay the
warrants drown upon the game pro-
tective fund by the state game and
fish warden, as the law provides. He
advises the state treasurer that the
state game and fish warden should
bring suit in the courts to determine
whether or not the opinion is correct.
The game and fish law provides fol-
a license system. Hunting permits
are sold by the county clerks and the
state game and fish warden. The law
provides for this money to be turned
into the state treasury and there be-
come the game protection fund.- All
expenses OF the office are paid by
warrants drawn upon this fund by the
state game and fish warden. The law
also provides that all money not used
for expenses of the office must be
used for propagating purposes. AS
the legislature did not know the exact
amount of the fund, it could not ap-
proprIate a specific amount, and as
this money is collected from the
hunters of the state and is not de-
rived from taxation, it was the pur-
pose of the law to spend every cent
of the money for propagating game
and for the protection of the game Of
the state.
Warden Askew has been running
the office on credit but there is now
enough money in the game projection
fund to pay all bills and salaries of
the Office force, but If he is not able
to do so he will be forced to close the
Office until relief is given.
AS the law makes it unlawful to
hunt without licenses, and as these
cannot be obtained unless the Office
is supported, people who desire to
hunt will not be allowed to do so.
As the assistant game and fish war
dens receive one-half the money col
lected from fines they will be able to
enforce the law. The license system
necessitates larger Office force than
heretofore, and the expenses of the
Office amount to about $400 per month.
including stationery, stamps, stenog,
raphers and bookkeeper. This opin-
ion will prohibit the appointing of the
eight saIaried deputy wardens.

BURFORD ARRA|GNS
STATE OFFICERS
Files Brief in Supreme Court for Man.
danus Against Secretary
Bill Gross.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 11.-Judge John
H. Buford, former chief justice Of the
territorial supreme court, has filed
with the state supreme court his briei
in the case now pending wherein the
republican state committee seeks a
mandamus writ to compel the secre-
tary OF state to officially recognize pc
titions signed by $1,000 legal voters
asking referendum vote on the Tay-
lor general election law.
In his brief Judge Buford severely
arraigns state officers who allow par
tisan considerations to mold their de-
cision on public questions.
IF the state officials who are charg-
ed with the administration OF affairs
of state and the execution OF the
laws" says the brief, would elimin-
ate extreme partisanship and personal
ambitions sufficient length of time
to allow their minds to become inno-
culated with the fact that they are
elected to serve the people in the in
terests Of popular government and not
the politician in the interests Of the
Office seekers, we would not be called
upon to present cases Of this char
acter to the courts in order to compel
such officials to recognize the rights
of the people"
In another paragraph the brief
reads:
The referendum is the peoples re-
serve veto power They especially re
served the right to review the action
Of their legislative officers and to veto
any law adopted by the Legislature"
