Oklahoma prohibitionists declare
that they viii not support the propos-
ed amendment to the constitution
seeking to remove the state capital
contrary to the terms Of the enabling
act. believing to do otherwise would
establish precedent for attack on
the constitutional prohibition.
The congressional enabling act gave
to former Indian territory prohibition
for twenty-one years, in obedience to
Indian treaties then in force, also de-
creed that the temporary state capi-
tai should remain at Guthrie until
1913. Since then the people have ad-
opted statewide prohibition in the con-
stitution and an amendment in one
particular, prohibitionists believe,
might influence in another. During
the constitutional convention prohibit
tionists endeavored to have the per
cent necessary to initiate constitu-
tional amendment placed at % instead
of is per cent.

Commerce Trust Company
Issues Denial Statement

Kansas City. April 14-Replying to
a special dispatch printed in The Daily
Oklahoman of April IL. dated Wash
ington, In which the correspondent
said the Commerce Trust company Of
Kansas City had been dropped from
the government list of approved bond
ing companies because of failure to
make proper reports to the govern
ment authorities, w T. Kemper, pres
ident of the Commerce Trust COMPANY
has made the following statement:
1T is not true that the Commerce
Trust company has failed to make
any reports which it is required by
law to make or which it ever has been
requested to make It made a report
to the treasury department in January.
1910. 1t is required to make reports
only because Of making surety bonds
to the government, and then only
quarterly.
THE next report is to be made for
the quarter ending March 81, and is
required by the government to be
made any time during the month OF
April. 1t will be made in due time
tomorrow il the government requests
it.
1T is not true that frequent demands
for reports have been made by the
treasury department or by anyone
else. On the contrary, no demands
ever have been made. The reports
have been furnished regularly, as re.
quired. If any rumors have reached
Washington, or any other place, to
the effect that the Commerce Trust
company is in bad financial stress,
such rumors are absolutely false, and
have been inspired by the most mali
cious motives.
NO complaint has ever been made
to the Commerce Trust company by
anyone connected with the treasury
department, or anyone else in regard
to the financial condition of this COM
pany. There has never been an inti-
nation to the Commerce Trust COM
pany by anyone connected with the
government, or by anyone else. to the
effect that this company is not regard
ed as absolutely solvent and in good
financial condition.
mo objection has ever been sug-
gested by anyone connected with the
government to accepting Commerce
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-04-14

Trust company bonds, except on the
ground that 1t has been a rule of the
government to accept bonds from in
stitutions that were doing a banking
as well as a bonding business, and if
the Commerce Trust company has
been eliminated by the treasury de-
partment from the list of approved
bonding companies. it is because it
does a banking as well as a bonding
business, and not because of any OBJ
jections to its solvency or financial
condition,
1T is true that the Commerce Trust
company is surety for Oklahoma
school funds deposited in several diff
ferent banks, but in every instance
the Commerce Trust company has
ample protection. It is not true that
the Commerce Trust company is close
ly related to the National Bank of
Commerce of Kansas City, though the
two Institutions are on friendly terms,
and the Commerce Trust company en-
tertains the highest opinion of the
condition and standing of the National
Bank of Commerce"
F. w. Perry president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce which in the
Washington dispatch referred to
above, was spoken of as being associ-
ated with the Commerce Trust COM
pany, is authority for the statement
that this is not true. He says that
while he and the officials of his bank
enjoy the friendliest relations with
the other bank that not dollar of its
stock is owned among his director
ate. He scouts the idea that the Com
meree Trust department is In disfavor
with the treasury department and ex-|
presses the greatest confidence in the
stability of the institution and the re-
sponsibility of its officers.

All the clubs, favored by perfect

OF the polish of the athletes.
From all the camps come glowing

tins augur well for bruising contest
when the teams get together, but it
lis a sure bet the most interesting
games Of the early spring will follow
in the meeting Of the cubs and pirates.
No ball club could loom up in finer
condition at this time than the organ
