It's the small sums that
Count up in buying joy
However little the amount you care to give it is most
agroeable.Fund for poor grows rapidly
Christmas joy for poor is still
on the market

Yesterday SS3 was added to the
Worlds fund to help provide n merry
Christmas for the poor Of Tulsa
through the Salvation Army, making
the total amount thus far raised in
excess OF $1S2. That viii help out
quite bit in this excellent cause, but
there Is so much Christmas to buy
that II should be larger.
Christmas is but a few days Off, and
this fund, to be available for the pur-
poses for which II Is intended, viii
soon have to be turned over TO Cap
tain Hickman of the Salvation Army
There are only seven days left.
The strange thing about the sub
scriptlons is that the little donations
have been so lnfrequent No amount
under 20 cents has been received, and
from that up to S25 The compare
tive big contributions have by far out
numbered the little ones, and II is
the little ones that count each bring
ing It's message Of sympathy TO the un-
fortunates scattered In the novels
about the city. II Is wonderful how
the little amounts pile up when they
once get started, and the time to start
them Is right now.
Let's get together In the next few
days and make things hum. Every
contribution, be II large or small Is
gratefully received, and there cannot
be questioned that II will be judclous-
ly expended by the Salvation Army
workers And each little sum that
comes In is just that sure to bring
Joy to the heart Of some little boy or
girl, or TO some one incapacitated to
earn llvllhood through age or lifes
lnhrmltles. II all goes to the deserv-
ing ones
The little ones of the poor, perhaps
will probably yet more benefit from
that which Is expended In their behalf

FOR PlECEMFAL RtVISION
Declares Tha. Tariff Should BE Re-
yiscd Cchedulc y Schcd-
ulc.

BY Associated Press.
Washington Dee 1G.-Represent-
ative Clark ihGued "A statement tonight
fully cutlinglng his platform as pros
poctIye speaker Of the Democratic
House of Representatives in the next
Congress,
lie proclaims himself in favor Of
the appointment of committees of the
House by committee rather than by
the speaker, and hc states as his be-
lief that the ilriff should hc revised
schedule by schedule, rather than by
a single bin.
These two subjects, says Clark, are
the ones upon which he has been con
tlnually imporuned to make some
statement Inc Democratic members
of the House have sent out call to-
day for a caucus on January 9 of the
Democratic membership of the House
Of Representatives,. Clarks state
mcnt is both an explanation call and
II declaration Of his rwn platform as
the probable speaker.
The caucus will select the ways and
means committee and the rules COM
mlttee somewhat larger than the
present committee Of seven. Clark
believe that enc of these committees
should then he empowered 10 select
the other committees Of the House.
"Therc are two theories of tariff
revision" says Clark in his statement.
Revision by one general bill and re-
vision by separate bills for the sepa-
rate schedules, This matters is not Of
the principle but the methods
individually I prefer the scheme
of separate bills for the separate
schedules, taking the schedule with
the most obnoxious features first, per-
haps in certain cases having separate
bills for the particular items"
The statement proceeds to say that
whatever method Is decided upon, as
fun a hearing and as comprehensive
as that which preceded the framing
Of the Payne Aldrlch law will be had
by the now ways and means commit
tee Mr.. Clark declared that he is
heartily in favor of inviting to the
caucus all OF the Democratic mem
bers-ecct
He goes on TO say that hk ef-
forts for the past two years have been
directed to the unification OF the
Democrats In the House and for
that reason the members-elect should
be given every opportunity If that
unification shall be maintained, to
eXpresse On name the members Of

oklahoma City, Dec. 1G--Both hous.
es Of the legislature passed today wait
ing for the enrolling department to
get the capital bin ready for final Sig
nature Members Of the senate hesi-
tated about adjournlng sine die to-
night claiming that the responsibility
of the capital bill belonged entirely
to the senate.
Governor Haskell made known the
additional terms he proposed to be i'm
posed on oklahoma city before signing
the capital bill. lie required that the
citizens pay the cost Of removing the
state Offices from Guthrie, the rent on
state Offices until completion of the
capital building; the fees of the cap-
ltol architects ana submit to having
the $50 acre tract subjected to APP
pralsement 10y dlslnterestod board
from outside oklahoma City. The ad-
ditlonal cost cf the caplto! to Ok
lahoma City will he 100000.
In the course of the afternoon the
chamber of cumerCe announced that
It would guarantee the offices rent free
TO all state OlIttIN hN l'ilb 90 tN''fN'
ary quarters were needed.
In his sixth message Governor Has
kell recommended TO the legislatures
attention the matter OF Governor
Cruces inauguration and the attend
ant expense. The house passed q res
olution authorizing the expenditure
Of $4,000 Of the legislative contingent
funds, but only eleven senator's were In
favor OF It and the matter was drop"
ped with the understanding that OK
lahoma City would have to stand the
expense OF the Festivities.
In another message, Governor Has
kell authorized the creation of a leg
islatIve committee to inquire into
charges of alleged msmanagement on
the part Of officials OF the state peni-
tentiary at McAlester. Both houses
adopted resolution providing FOR a
Joint committee of six. Both houses

GUTHRIE PLANS
TO RESUME WAR
ACTION or LEGISLATURE IN NOV
ING CAPITAL TO BE FOUGHT
WAIT ON SUPREME COURT
attorneys WIN Take No steps Until
Capital Decision Is An
nOImcrd.

Special to the World.
Guthrie, okla, rec 1G.-Guthric
win oppose in the courts the immediate
removal Of the capital from this city
to oklahoma City.
This was practically agreed upon at
o. meeting today Of the attorneys who
all along have represented this city
IN the capital removal matters. The
only disagreement Is regarding the
course to pursue. The attorneys gen
orally believe no move Is necessary,
however, until the state supreme court
passes upon the case now pending aud
in which arguments were made two
weeks ago wherein GuthrIe's attor-
ncys declare there can be no capital
removal excepting by constitutional
amendments
1t is cited that the pending case viii
act as an injunction against any at
tempted removal until the court gives
decision. This seems to be the gem
eral opinion too OF the state officials
who declare today they win make no
attempt to remove until the supreme
court itself declares for removal
Presiding Justice Henry NJ Furman
Of the stact criminal court Of appeals
today withheld seven opinions that
were ready for handing down, until
the supreme court shall act on the
capital removal case,
1t Is also shown that the district
court injunction granted last June by
Judge A. II. Huston here, and which
was affirmed recently by the state su-
premc court, Is still In force until the
supreme court shall hold otherwise.
Tonight Il is understood the supreme
court will not decide the pending case
until the regular court day, next Tues
day, No doubt remains tonight, If the
court decision is against Guthrie on
the point OF constitutional amendment
to move the capital, that Guthrie's at
tornoys will then Immediately seek an
Injunction against removal on the
ground that the special legislative ses-
sion In oklahoma City Is Illegal, as are
also an It's acts. This is based on the
allegation that Governor Haskell could
not legally convene the legislature at
any other place than the seat Of gov
ernment which the supreme court had
said was Guthrie.
Present indications are there Will
be sufficient court actions to hold the
capital at Guthrie until after 1913,
until which date the enabling act pro-
vided the temporary capital should
be maintained here,
A few of the state officers, however
believe there will be an immediate
removal. Colonel A. =. Watson of
he state corporation commission said
today he viii Immediately lease res
idence in oklahoma City,
Leo Meyer, assistant secretary of
state who will ON January take his
seat as state auditor stated tonight
he will demand court test of the
capital removal bin just passed by the
legislature because he alleges 1t takes
from the auditor the handling of mon
les to be used IN connection with the
capital building construction.
"If no other person demands test
of the bill, ! Will" said Meyer. The
latters friends declare this provision
was purposely aimed 10y Governor
Haskell at Meyer, between whom there
have been political differences.

Telephone Rates.

the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-AIlow mo to congratulate
you on your fight against the telephone
company. It's certainly time that some
got busy and get what is coming.
The table you issued showing h rates
In different cities ought to start many
people thinking. This one-sided mo
nopoly is a great graft game, and is a
hard proposition to beat. but with your
aid the telephone company ought to be
made to come down a peg. Other com-
panies have tried to enter this city,
but the power that is exerted against
them shows that there is graft in album
dance. Every one using a phone ought
to be entitled to have unlimited service
for the present rate. l hardly believe
that the company would De n buster
than It is now, and the time spent by
the operator in recording the local calls
on the toll checks would be eliminated.
At the rate of $3.50 per month there are
fifty calls allowed. All over that each
call is five cents. When a bill m in
for a number of extra calls the COM
pany has no proof other than the toll
slip with the party's number on it who
is making the call. No record Is kept
of who the party is calling. I am re-
ferring to local calls. If one makes a
