LOCAL OPTION ADVOCATES
WILL INITIATE NEW BILL

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 30.-Supporters
of the local option and high license
amendment to the constitution which
was defeated at the recent election
have already begun an active cam
paign to have the question again sub
mitted to the voters. The petitions
calling for an election on the subject
are now being prepared and will be
circulated within a short time. 1t is
the purpose of the business interests
now behind the measure not to allow
the brewers and their allied interests
to write the amendment This will be
done by lawyers who will be instructed
to frame a measure that will not give
the saloons too much liberty
The friends of the railroad amend
ment which was also defeated at the
recent election are also going to ask
for another chance to submit it to the
people and the petitions for this cleo
tion probably will be in circulation
within the next ten days.

WANT SUPREME COURT TO
SETTLE STATUS OF INDIANS

Washington, D. c., Dec. looming
to the highest tribunal of the white
man as their final battle ground, the
full blood Indians of the Five Civiliz-
ed Tribes yesterday appeared before
the supreme court of the United States
to have their status in the American
government determined.
The indirect cause of the dispute
was the allotment of lands to all the
individual Indians of these tribes. This
allotment took place in 1902. In the
legislation authorizing it, restrictions
of sale within five years were placed
upon the lands.
Before the five years had expired, il
is claimed congress decided that the
full blood Indian needed more protec
ton and hence increased the restric
ton of sale of their lands to twenty
five years. The cases before the court
today involve the constitutionality o.
this legislation and arguments will bt
concluded tomorrow.

WOMEN NOT CAPABLE or
HOLDING OFFICE AS YET

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 1. Women
voters should remember that they are
like the boys casting their first vote
and are not capable of holding offices
at the present time, and would not
think of supporting a woman for COM
missioner in case the commission form
of government is adopted" said May
Arkwright Hutton of Spokane, presi-
dent of the Washington Political
league in speaking of questions that
have arisen since the right-to-vote
franchise has been given to women of
this state, adding: Women must not
abuse their privileges. And right-mind-
ed woman will realize that she is in
the class with boy of 21 who is cast
ing his first vote, and the first thing
to do is to study conditions and gain
information, which will take much
time" When asked if she would favor
a woman commissioner under any con
ditions, Mrs Hutton said: Absolute
ly not at this time. I was for votes
for American women. The questions
in such an Office would be new to the
women My idea was not that women
should Immediately seek politica,
honors, but that they should support
honorable, capable men for such posi-
tions.'

AMES To DEFEND
GUARANTEE LAW
lCase Brought BY Noble State Bank
Attacking Entire Guaranty Law
to Be Argued Friday.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 3d.
With the constitutionality of the laws
in three states devolving upon the
decision, c. B. Ames in accordance
with telegram received Monday night
from Washington, left Tuesday after
moon for the national capital where
he goes to argue the case brought by
the Noble State bank against Cover
nor Haskell and other state officials,
testing the constitutionality of Okla
homas bank guaranty law
Consolidated with the case are
cases testing the bank guaranty laws
of Nebraska and Kansas, both OF
which have been passed since the Ok
lahoma law was enacted, and which
were drafted along practically the
same lines as was the Oklahoma
lstatute
The case at the hearing which be.
gins Friday morning will include the
arguments of counsel on both sides
although the decision in the case may
not be handed down for sixty OF
ninety days,
The case brought by the Noble
bank attacks the entire guaranty law
of this state, the bank maintaining
that the provisions of the law by
which a guaranty fund is established
in levying upon the state banks of the
state, and one bank made to stant
good for the soundness and solvency
of all other state banks in the state il
proportion to its deposits, is unconsti
tutional and established a practica
confiscation of property.
The Noble bank assumes practically
the same attitude and sets forth prac
Itically the same arguments that have
been advanced by leading nationa
bankers of the country in their opposi
ton to the law, pointing out that tn,
Substance and theory of the law il
such as to promote wild cat banking
lplaces the state banker in the attitude
where he must stand responsible 70
the acts of others over whom he ha
no control, and for whose errors h
is powerless to hinder or prevent
While other bankers in turn are pre-
tected against possible errors of his
yet his errors are not due to any erro
of other bankers, neither do they pos
sess the power to prevent his error
which may result in financial disaster
It was thought when the case wa
first filed that possibly test nigh
be made Of the bank guaranty LAY
which was passed by the Texas legis
lature in 1909, but thus far no sui
has been entered by the state banker
of Texas against the law.

SHORT SESSION IS
PERIOD OF ACTION
Oklahoma Segregated Lands Will Not
Be Taken UP in Regular
Appro. 'iatlons.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 20. - AL
though congress has not yet convened,
the work of formulating the appropria-
tion bills is well under way 1t would
not he surprising if four or five of the
appropriation bills are passed by the
house before the holiday recess. In
fact there is such a mad race among
the chairmen of the committees to
get their bills upon the calendar that
this congress is apt to break all rec
|ords in the amount of business trans
acted at a short session. The river
and harbor bill, which usually comes
in during the closing week of a ses-
sion, will be reported within two or
three days after congress conyenes.
A quorum of the river and harbor COM
mittee was not present today, when
the committee was scheduled to hold
its first full meeting but kilograms
were received from enough members
to give assurance that the committee
will be able to transact business to-
morrow.
A subcommittee of the appropria-
tion committee will complete its work
on the urgency and deficiency bill this
week. AS soon as Chairman Tawney
returns from Panama, the bill will be
considered at a full meeting of the
committees and will be ready for the
hopper of the house shortly after con-
gress convenes Monday. The bill will
be forwarded shortly with the execu-
tive, legislative and judicial appro,
priation bill. A subcommittee will be-
gin work Thursday on the Indian ap-
propriation bill. Chairman Burke is
sued call for the subcommittee to-
day and stated that if a quorum ar
rives in Washington this week he viii
take up the bill in the whole commit
tee. Chairman Burke confidently ex
poets to have the Indian appropriation
bill passed before the holidays.
1t is not planned now to deal witt
the segregated mineral question il
Oklahoma in the regular appropria
ton bill. This will be included in {
special bill or an omnibus Indian bill
later in the session, If my Legislation
of this character is enacted this win

THOMPSON WILL
SUCCEED FRAzEE
Change in Vinlta Bank to Occur About
December 15-Robert Lee Will
Go TO Adair.

The International Bank & Trust
company of Vinita has secured Mr.. r.
E. Thompson, cashier of the Bank of
Adair, as one of it's substantial stock
holders, and he will become active
managing officer about the 18th of De-
cember. He will succeed Mr.. s. r.
Frazee, who viii retire for the pur-
pose of going into business on his
own account.
The officers of the International
Bank & Trust company feel that they
are very fortunate IN securing Mr..
Thompson as one of their associates
in business as he is q very progressive
young banker, who has succeeded in
building up the Bank of Adair into
one of the best institutions in his part
of the state. He is considered one of
the most capable young men in his
line in this part of Oklahoma. He has
bought substantial block of the stock
of the International Bank & Trust
company and will buy a home in this
city and become one of it's citizens.
Mr., J. w. Orr and M. f. Knight have
purchased part OF his holdings in
the Bank of Adair and have been elect
ed on the board of directors of the in
stitution. Mr. Robert T.. Lee of Big
Cabin, has been elected cashier of
the Bank of Adair and will move there
about December 18TH This is a de-
served promotion to hr, Lee, who has
been faithful and competent in the
Iupbuiding of the Bank of Big Cabin.
Mr. w. T. Walling, banker of Boyn-
ton, has been elected cashier of the
Bank of Big Cabin and will arrive on
December 1st to take this position
with the bank. He is very success
| full young banker and comes highly
recommended by his former associ-
ates
Mr.. Frazee Tetires from the bank
on his own motion and for no other
purpose than to engage in his chosen
line of business, believing that he has
learned that at the proper time in life
and can pursue it with greater de-
gree of remuneration to himself than
stop to learn a new business at this
time of life. The management was
loath to give him up, as he had proven
splendid man in the position, which
he had assumed over one year ago.
Everybody seems to be well pleased
with the new changes and the officers
of the bank seem to feel that they
have secured in the services of Mr..
Thompson permanent officer, who
can take care of the banks interest
and maintain its reputation in the
community as the leading institution in
this part of the state.

CHAIRMAN LLOYD WILL
FIGHT FOR HARMONY

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9O.-James
Y. Lloyd, representative from Missouri
and chairman of the democratic con-
gressional committee, arrived In Wash
ington Monday prepared to fight for
harmony in the democratic ranks in
the new house of representatives.
1T is my opinion" he said, that
the democratic victory at the polls in
tue recent election will be of no benefit
and probably will be injurious to the
party if the democrats fail to keep
peace among themselves. The demo
S cratic party will be on trial. 1t was
not because the country has so much
confidence in us that it voted us into
9ower in the house; it was rather be
cause the country has lost confidence
in the republicans. So it behooves us
to act in harmony and with wisdom.

was pretty badly bruised, and Ma
