duties would ruin the domestic pro-

Association, of this city, has written
to the secretary OF the interior, the
Oklahoma Bankers association and
to Hon. J. ID. Landlord, bank com
missioner, urging them 70 assist in
rendering relief 10 these people. He
declares that many OF the purchase 5
viii not only lose the amount alrea1v
paid ilt will lose the 'ands l. Jn>
rvnts are demanted by the go'e:a-
ment in December. His plea is an
honest one In behalf OF the whole
people and offers a remedy which the
secretary OF the interior will no
doubt appreciate.
Discussing his proposition and its
ultimate result, Mr.. Caldwell said:
THE sale of unallotted Indian
lands last December, which provided
for a second payment in July of this
year amounted to n vast sum Of mon
ey in the aggregate, but purchasers
were given until December TO make
that payment. It was believed at that
time the payments could be met, but
bad crops and low price of cotton
changed all this. The result is that
many purchasers will be compelled
to lose what they have paid and also
the right to buy the land later on.
hi mil n
who would otherwise develope these
lands and produce sufficient on them
to aid in paying for it.
The condition is such that banks
cannot render aid. The lands Eere
unimproved, hence non-productive at
the time of sale, ana with little or
no crops this year the people cannot
possibly make the December pay
mcnt. The security is not of CHAR
acter that banks could handle it,
therefore | see no relief except to
put the matter up to the Interior
department just as it actually is to-
day.
"All of this vast sum, when paid
into the United States treasury for
the benefit OF the Indians is taken
out of circulation, so far as the aver
age banker and merchant is concern
ed, except where the Indians live in
large numbers. These localities are
few and far between. The interior
department is no doubt anxious to as
sist in every reasonable way, but
they are probably unacquainted with
true conditions down here. My idea
OF calling the attention OF the bank
ing board and the interior depart
ment to this serious matter was to
give the purchasers as well as the
Indians square deal"
"A precedent for this necessary
extension OF time in payment was
set by the interior department in the

is a serious matter with those who
bought large tracts. Owing 10 short
crops and the low price of cotton it
will be practically out Of the question
for these purchasers to pay the
amount due next month. The amount
will run into the hundreds of thous-
ands, and probably over million
dollars, which cannot be met unless
