Diary Conditions in Oklahoma

fore, very few are doing anything
towards the Improvement OF their
present herds in the way of selection
and wedding out OF the profitless
ones.
Many will say that It Is Impossible
to procure at the present time cows
which have a noted reputation in milk
not impossible 10 secure some fairly
good cows and pure breo sire, and
with the process OF breeding and rec
ord keeping. and the wedding out of
those which are not making a rea'
sonably good profit, it is possible in
the course of few years to have a
herd of which each one is producing
fairly good profit.
Prof. Ethels of the Missouri Ex'
pertinent Station states that ninety.
five dollars were realized from each
COW Of herd OF twenty-eight cows
kept at the experiment station last
year, and that the same cows will
average one hundred dollars income
for this year. He also states that this
Improvement is not the result of ex-
pensive or excessive treatment, but
comes from doing the right thing at
the right time and in the proper way.
From this statement one will notice
that it is possible to increase the prof
its and productions by good care and
management. It is therefore up to the
farmer who Is milking cows, and the
dairyman, to adopt some system of
checking up the production of each
COW in order that he may improve
the grade of cattle kept on the aver
age farm. With the Babcock test and
n pair of scales it is possible to adopt
a system by which each COW may
be examined as to the profit or loss
she is bringing to the dairy. If one
expects to succeed in the dairy bust
ness to any great extent, he must
adopt, sooner or later such system
which will show positively the actual
worth of his COWS for dairy purposes.
The record may be kept on a sheet
containing the names of a dozen or
more COWS, and space for record OF
two wppkS in one month

INVESTIGATION REVEALS THAT
CHICkASAWS ARE BIG LOSERS.
McMURRAY INVOLVED.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 5.-That
the Chickasaw tribal records fail to
show any returns while Ben Colbert
was collector of tribal taxes during
the years 1902-3-4, although the ad.
ministration of that law cost the IN
dans thousands of dollars was the
startling testimony brought out be-
fore the select house committee now
investigating the Gore charges. J.
George Wright, commissioner to the
five civilized tribes with headquar-
ters at Muskogee, was on the witness
stand when the above fact was de
veloped by Chairman Burke and later
in a more direct way by Dennis
Flynn of Oklahoma City. counsel for
J. F. McMurray, the well-known at
torney and lobbyist, of McAlester.
Just what the committee is going to
do about this discovery was not made
clear by the line of questions pro-
pounded to Mr.. Wright, but as tens of
thousands of dollars are involved it
would not be surprising if the tribal
tax situation in the Chickasaw ma
tion will come in for special treat
ment when the Burke committee
makes it's report.
McMurray Involved.
The fact that the law firm of Mans
field. McMurray and Cornish figured
prominently in the tribal tax dispute
in those days also was brought out
when Commissioner Wright was ask
ed to identify three exhibits showing
S1O4,SO4 worth of warrants issued by
the Chickasaw nation to the law firm
for salary and expenses for a period
beginning in 1901 and down to 1906.
The first exhibit embraced $5,210
worth of warrants paid the law firm
for the removal of intruders from
1901 to 1908 incident to the collec-
tion of tribal taxes, but if the Chick
asaws received any benefits from this,
the books referred 10 by Mr.. Wright
fail TO show IT, The second exhibit
covers s47S05, representing expenses

fund of the principal chief of the /.

POSTAL BAN kLAW.

The national postal savings bank
bill has become a law.
The United States government will
give the people of the country an op-
portunity for saving part of their
earnings.
There seems to be a suggestion of
irony in this after all, for the efforts
OF the government TO reduce the cost
of living have been futile and unayail-
ing. How the man of small income
is going to save and deposit his earn
ings in the postal savings bank and
also pay the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker is problem
that President Taft and his associates
have not yet explained.
At the same time some men of hum
BILE means can save, and they should
save.
There has been a superstition among
the more llliterate wage earners that
banks are dangerous, but Uncle Sam
is safe. Theefore this class may be
reached.
The establishment OF the postal saw
ings bank system is strictly party
movement. The law was bitterly op-
posed in congress. Since 1t is law,
and becomes operative today, it must
be regarded as one of the important
and far-reaching financial steps taken
by the government, since congress au-
thorized the creation of the national
banking system and endowment of
national banks.
Just what effect the postal banking
system will have no one can say with
certainty. Advocates of the law pre-
dict glowing results. Others 49, ap-
prehensive. We must wait awhile and
see. Certainly this will be one of the
events of the new year which is wor-
thy to watch.
The government is acting Wisely in
inaugurating the new system on a
small scale. We must crawl before
we can walk. The law must be tested
on minimum basis before a more
elaborate system is expected
One postoffce in each state and ter
ritory has been selected as a deposi-
tory.
This will mean forty-eight offices,
Through these offices a very fair test
can be made.
Only postoffices in cities of the sec
ond class have been named as depos-
tories. 1t was believed that bet
ter test could be made of the law.
Every man should save, but the
government must realize that when
the country is endowed with so many
safe and we'll conducted savings insti-
tutions the postal system will not
grow in any great hurry.

1t was plain from the manner of
the questions put to Mr.. Wright that
the committee was disposed to ques-
tion these large expense accounts. Mr..
Flynn attempted to show that not on
ly the $5,210 worth of warrants repre-
sented expenses incurred by the law
firm in coping with the tribal tax
situation, but the $47,SO5 item was
expended in the same way. Mr.. Nc
Murray and his attorneys will be Civ
en- an opportunity to support their
claims in this connection tomorrow.
Questions put by Chairman Burke
also tended to show that Mr.. McMur-
ray has done nothing to further, or
facilitate the sale of the Indian lands
recently thrown on the market al
though under contract to do so with
thousands of Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians
The further fact that the law firm
of Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish,
although the legal representatives of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations,
at no time lifted their voices in pro-
test against the alleged scandalous
conditions surrounding the town lot
sales some years ago.
To Investigate Fees.
Further hearings will be held tomor-
row when Senator Gore will put two
witnesses on the stand whose names
he has thus far withheld. On the
other hand the committee will sub
poena several witnesses with a view
of throwing light on the $75O,OOO fee
drawn by Mansfield, McMurray and
Cornish for work in connection with
the citizenship case. Committee
wants to know how this money was
shared.
