BALLINGER OBJECTS TO
OKLAHOMES CLAIM

Washington. D. c., Feb 25.-That
Secretary Ballinger Of the interior de-
partment Is not impressed with Okla.
homas claim upon the reclamation
fund was made plain Wednesday by a
letter received from that official by
Representative Morgan
While Mr. Ballinger does not at
tempt to answer four questions recent.
ly submitted to him by Woodward
congressman on the subject, he lays
emphasis on the fact that no feasible
irrigation project" as that term Is un-
derstood by the department TO have
been used by congress, in the reclama-
tion act, has been found In Oklahoma.
Continuing, he says: 1T cannot be
definitely determined at this time
whether any further expenditures can,
under law. be made in Oklahoma for
following reasons:
"First-The difficulty Of securing a
feasible site in which to construct an
irrigation system that would be prac-
ticable and would prove profitable
"second-That it suits places where
1t may be practicable to erect such a
system where the greater part OF the
land is in private ownership"
Secretary Ballinger places the unex.
pended balance In the reclamation
fund at $1,000, 600 and states that total
receipts amount to almost $49,0O0,0 600,
of which Oklahoma has contributed
over s5,O00,OOO To date only $4,000.
has been expended in the new state.
Here is the provision In the reclaim
alton act which Secretary Balllnger
contends keeps Oklahoma from en-.
ioying It's benefits:
"That Il is hereby declared to be
the duty of secretary of interior in
carrying out the provisions of this
act so far as may be practicable and
subject to existence of feasible pro-
jects to expend a major portion Of the
fund arising from the sale Of public
lands within each state and territory
herein before named for the benefits
of the arid and semi-arid lands within
the limits of such state or territory" !"

ACTOR SAYS WOMEN
LIKE SUGGESTIVE PLAYS

Milwaukee, Feb 26.--That the wo-
men OF America, with their morbid
desires to see suggestive plays. have
been in a large measure responsible
for the degeneration of the American
stage and the driving of respectable
plays from the boards was the start
ling assertion of Wilton Lackaye, in
an address on "The Stage in General"
before the Drama League Of Wiscon-
sin yesterday
The state is in precarious condi-
tion at the present time" said Mr..
Laekaye
The moving picture shows have
robbed us of our galleries and the in
decent productions. with their import
ed ideas, have robbed us Of our re-
spectacle box attendance.
"One of the greatest dangers Is the
prurient play that comes from across
the ocean. There are those who think
they can not be cosmopolitan unless
they see this class Of play.

LOCAL OPTIONISTS SLIP
ONE OVER ON "DRYS'

Guthrie, okla, Feb 25.-There is a
strong possibility that the local option
petitioners have slipped upon the
blind side of the prohibitionists and
that it is now too late for the "drys"
to file protests to the sunicieney Of
their petitions bearing the signature Of
more than $4,000 voters, These peti.
tions were left with the secretary Of
state more than week ago and he
gave his receipt for them to the pc
titioners. Under the law If any one
desires TO protest to the sufficiency Of
initiative or referendum petitions he
must do so within FIVE days Of the time
they we're filed.
G. B. Stuart, attorney for the local
optionists. takes the position that
under the decision Of the Oklahoma
supreme court on the Taylor general
election law, petitions are considered
flied as soon as they are left With the
of state for filing and that
the duties of the secretary of state and
the governor in detaching the sigma.
lures is merely ministerial
Secretary Cross and Governor Has
kell still persist in their refusal to de-
tach the signatures and pass upon
the sufieiency of the petitions. Aside
from his legal attitude on the matter
It is understood that the governor be-
lieyes 1t would put the state admins
tration in bad with the prohibition
lists for him to go ahead with the nee.
essary steps to hold the petitions SUI
fcient and Secretary of State Cross is
to assume the political and
legal responsibility Of going ahead in
the face Of the governors adverse ac.
tion. If forced by the courts to pass
upon the suhiciency of the petitions
then the responsibility is shifted upon
the courts.
