BANK DEPOSIT JOURNAL
MAY MOVE TO OKLA. CITY

The board of directors of the Bank
Deposit Guarantee Journal, the official
organ of the state bankers of Oklaho-
ma and Kansas, had a somewhat
stormy meeting at Tulsa Thursday.
The stock Of this journal is owned
principally by bankers on the east side
The Journal has been published at
Vinita since its initial issue over a
year ago
An effort was made to move the
publication to Oklahoma City. In
ducements of fattering nature have
been offered the board to move the
publication to that point Some fin
anciers of that city are anxious to
have the Bank Deposit Guarantee
Journal published there for the unique
advertisement the publication would
give the big metropolis. The fact that
this Vinita publication circulates In
every state in the union and is the
only publication of its kind in the
United States has won it considerable
distinction as financial journal. That
seems to be the reason inducements
were offered TO the board to move the
publication to Oklahoma City. After a
heated discussion over the removal
proposition, it was decided by the
board to continue the publication at
Vinita, provided a home subscription
list of 200 subscribers could be secur
ed for the publication within the next
two weeks. If that number is not Sc
cured the publication will go to Okla
homa City
w. M. Malone was chosen as edito,
and business manager for the ensuing
year, at the Tulsa meeting, Thursday
The Journal has greatly prospered un
der his management. The publication
has advertised Vinita greatly and we
nope our citizens will be sufficiently
alive to their interests to keep the
Bank Deposit Guarantee Journal here
no matter whether they believe in the
bank deposit guaranty or not.

SCHOOL BOARD TO
ASSUME CONTROL
Special Meeting of the City Council
Provides For Transfer of City
School Property.

The city council held a call session
last night for the purpose of counting
the votes of the special election held
Tuesday and for other purposes. The
canvass of the ballots resulted in the
declaration Of the mayor and council
that both of the bond issues carried.
An ordinance was passed for the
transfer of the city school property to
the school board, Under the Okla
homa law municipalities have no con-
troll over school property or school dis
tricts. The school board is clothed
with full authority in these matters
This was all that was done, officially
at the meeting last nighs, but the
members of the council engaged in a
general informal discussion of plans
for enlarging the city water plant. The
committee was instructed to re-adver-
tise for bids for the drilling of two
more artesian wells.

turned over to Judge Frear by the dis.
trict court this morning.

these two boys with some good re-
sponsible farmer, who will take care
of the boys and try to make something
out Of them.
Judge Frear said this morning that
he wanted to get in communication
with farmers who were willing to take
boys, who are turned over to the
juvenile court, so that when he has
similar cases to this one, he will have
some place to put them without having
to place them In jail

WILL TAFT INSIST UPON
LEGALISING BIG MERGER?

Washington, March 31.-Will Presi-
dent Taft insist upon the retention in
his railroad regulation bill of the pro-
vision which will have the alleged eff
feet of legalizing the Southern Pacific
Union Pacific merger?
If the president is unwilling to have
this so-called Joker" stricken from
the bill its passage is regarded as very
doubtful. The provision referred to has
been eliminated from the house bill,
which action on the part of the inter
state and foreign commerce committee
was in itself an admission of the un.
desirability of the clause.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota has
come to the aid of Senator Cummins
and Clapp and other insurgents who
condemn the joker.
"If we pass section IL" declared
Senator Nelson, referring to the sec
tion which contains the proviso con.
cerning mergers, ''it will be utter folly
for the government to carry on its
suit against the Union Pacific merg-
er, because if the government should
succeed in that suit, the company
could go on, after the suit was over,
under the law and do what it is charg-
ed with doing under the law now So
to my mind, if we adopt Section IL
as it is in this bill, it will be all folly
to carry on that prosecution that has
been pending for two years against the
Union Pacific merger.
During Senator Cummins' speech on
the bill the question was raised as to
the source of that particular provision
Il should like to know" said Sena.
tor Borah, what lawyer has put his
sanction upon this a legal PROPOSE
ton"
The question was answered by the
introduction of portion of the pres.
ident's message of January in which
President Taft states that "by my di.
rection the Attorney General has now
drafted bill to carry out these rec.
Concentrations which will be furnish.
ed upon request to the appropriate
committee whenever it may be desir-
ed.
The fact that Attorney General
Wickersham framed the bill places
him in the position of having drawn
measure which, in the event of its
becoming law, would legalize trans
action which he is fighting in the
courts as being unlawful.
The joker was prepared after six OF
the leading railroad presidents had
their conference with President Taft
the press associations reported that
the railroad men pleaded with the
president to drop the suits against the
merger but that Mr. Taft after lis
tening very attentively to the argu
ments turned a deaf ear to the en-.
treaties of his visitors, thus showing
that he could be firm once he made UP
his mind.
A still more remarkable feature OF
the situation is that ex-Judge Lovett
President Of the Union Pacific, who
has taken the place of e. H. Harri
man, knew long in advance of the
public what the Taft bill would pro
vide, and gave orders that sufficient
stock of the Southern Pacific be pur
chased to give control of the road to
the Union Pacific.
Otto H. Kahn a director of the I'm
ion Pacific testified under oath in the
merger suit in New York that Presi
dent Lovett had secured advance in
formation that the administration
