The OklahOman says
As the last act of the Columbia
Banking and Trust drama Governor
c. y. Haskell has proposed going
over of the accounts of the defunct
organization by committee from
the State Bankers association, OF
which IL formerly was member.
The governor makes as basis for his
request the statement that with the
completion and settling of the Col
umbia Bank and Trust COmpanys
accounts. and the paying of money
to all creditors, the public no longer
has interest or word in the affair.
But, he states, in order that the
bankers may become satisfied as to
the conduct by the state of the af-
fairs of the failed bank. the investi-
cation is invited
The communication comes to viii

sociatiOn. Mr.. Guthrie has notified
the five directors of the state sec
tion, Of which he ia vice president,
and is waiting now action from
them.
What will be done with the gov
ernor's request ] cannot say until the
directors speak" said Mr. Guthrie
Thursday. However. ! believe they
will look kindly on the proposition.
The appointment of snch an investi
cation committee as the governor
suggests would come either from
them or. through them. by the state
section which they represent as a
whole. expect report from them
within two or three days"
The governors communication Is
as follows:
AS the public has been settled
with i'm the Columbia bank matter.
the state bankers and the banking
/ department of the state are now the
only interested parties, and we would
be glad to have the state bankers as
fully posted on every detail on the
assets and other affairs of the Col
umbia Bank and Trust company as
they may desire.
/ Our state banking department has
expert accountants who have been
/ at work in checking up all the af.
fairs and details and We feel sat.
isfied that they have been very
thorough but we would be glad. in
case the State Bankers association
desire it. TO have them name an ex-
pert accountant to check up every
detail of the affairs of the Columbia
Bank and Trust company's assets
and liabilities, in order that your
association may be thoroughly salts
fled with the work of our state bank
ing department This suggestion Ia
your association is due II the fact
that certain newspapers and politi
clans persist in circulating false
statements and we, therefore
suggest that since the public has
been paid, therefore the state bank
ers are the only interested parties
outside of the banking board. that
it is perfectly proper for the inter
osted parties TO join in such complete
examination as may fully satisfy
them"

II is true that az certain times

enclosed field may remove the ticks
wherever the fire travels but even
then many places remain unhurned and
the owner depends on the fire for
eradication and consequently fails. At
meetings of cattle men and others |
have been speaking against the prac-
ticc of burning over the forest ground
and have held that no work would be
saved In the process of eradication be
cause the cattle should necessarily be
treated according to some of the meth
ods specified in Farmers Bulletin No.
