OKLAHOMA RETAIL
MEN ORGANIZING
Impression Made Upon National Con-
vention WIN Give Oklahoma
Much Desired Publicity.

Organization among the retail mer-
chants of Oklahoma continues with
the same vim as before the conven-
ton of the national association at
Springfield, last week. During the
month of April, SOS additions were
made in As local associations; in the
past week IA new towns are added
ito the list with about IT'S members
and many towns are calling for organ
izers.
While the Oklahama delegates lost
the 1911 convention to Denver after a
hard fight, it was the first time that
Oklahoma had been represented or
had affiliated with the national associ-
alton, yet she paid into the national
treasury more money and a larger
membership than any Of the other 33
states that hold state memberships
The impression our delegates left
upon the entire convention will give
Oklahoma publicity that will mean
many investments in this state and
the press will circulate the fame of
this state in thousands of newspapers
as well as in the association paper
of every state.
The boosting spirit that every Okla
homan injects into the stranger will
cause a renewed energy in organiza-
tion in all states and we must con-
tinue our work in order that we hold
the place we have attained at this
time.
Possibly the most vital question
that confronts the association today
lis the proposition of giving our mem
bers value received and every ar
rangement has been made to begin a
systematic educational series in order
that our merchants may be on the
alert for the leakage in business, to
study the cost of doing business. to
carefully abide by his insurance poll
cies. to assist him by legislation.
create a more systematic credit sys-
tenn and do away with illigitimate com
petition
The newspapers have stood by us
in return we advocate and impress up
on the merchant that consistant pat
ronage of the home paper is the only
medium through which we can hope
to hold our own with the foreign mail
orGer concern.

WONT
SIGN CAUCUS CALL
Progressives Oppose Any Effort to
Bring About United Action on
Postal Bank Bill.

Washington, May 24-Some of the
most radical and persistent of the in
surgent republicans in the house are
standing out strongly against any ef-
fort to bring about united action by
the party organization in the house on
the postal savings bank bill. They are
not disposed to go into the caucus
called for Wednesday evening next to
consider that measure.
Among the insurgent members who
refused to sign the caucus bill were:
Norris and Hinshaw, of Nebraska;
Davis of Minnesota; Cooper and Len
root Of Wisconsin,, and Hangen of
Iowa. Others OF the radical insur-
gents did not have chance to refuse
to sign the caucus call, as their views
are so well known that it was not even
presented to them for their signature.
That the postal savings bank bill
will be agreed upon by the republicans
at the caucus is the opinion of Repre-
sentative Weeks of Massachusetts,
chairman OF the committee on postof-
fees and postroads, He is not in favor
of considering the bill in open house
without the protection of rule which
will prevent all sorts Of amendments
being offered and perhaps adopted.
The bill will be open to amendment in
caucus and consideration given to a
proposal that It be considered in the
house under rule
The provision OF the bill In contro-
versy is that which relates to the dis
position OF funds deposited in postal
savings banks. The measure provides
that per cent of such deposits shall
be held as a reserve fupd, that 471k
per cent shall be invested in govern
ment bonds, and that 475s per cent
shall be retained in the communities in
which the funds are deposited. except
that the president may In his discre-
tion authorize the investment of such
money in government bonds and other
approved securities.
The insurgents insist that manda-
tory provision be placed In the bill
that the funds be so retained in the
communities in which they originate,
They object to the discretionary power
invested in the president in this con-
nection,
