4 COMPETENT WITNESS.
The Mules Testimony Was Taken and
Accopted hv the Juduo.

The Mules Testimony Was Taken and
Accepted BY the Judge.
The originator Of widely known
probation system, Judge William J..
Pollard Of st Louis police court. Is
the subject Of Boston Herald story
which illustrates his unique way of
dealing out Justice to minor Offenders.
A driver had been brought before
Judge Pollard charged with cruelty to
animals. He had been driving CALLED
mule, but he had an expert witness in
q veterinarian who testified that the
sore on the mules back did not pain
the animal in the least.
The Judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinions and then de
manded to know the mules where
abouts. He was informed that it was
harnessed to a wagon which stood on
the street in front of the courthouse.
The Judge then ordered that court to
be adjourned for five minutes.
He took his cane and proceeded to
the street, went up to the mule and
with the end Of his cane gently touch
ed the sore spot on the animals back.
The mule promptly tried to kick the
dashboard of the wagon. Once again
the Judge touched the sore spot with
his cane, and the mule responded as
before. *.... 90
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.
with all due respect to the expert
testimony you have had introduced in
your behalf to show that the mules
back does not pain him, will fine
you $780," announced the Judge. IL
asked the mule If the sore hurt him,
and he said it did" =.

In a recent issue of the Duluth
News Tribune, "The Bears Club"
had this to say:
Suppose Minnesota should spend
$6,000,0OO on good roads within a
year. That would be going some; it
would attract attention, and it would
presumably hasten development of
the undeveloped portions. If that
much money was judiciously spent
1t would have an important bearing
on the future of the state.
"Under the Elwell act it is pos
sible to spend 100000 within a
year.
"The state has 100000 a year on
the present basis for construction.
That is in addition to the $4,000
allowed from the general funds for
administrative purposes. Wherever
the state spends one dollar, the coun-
ty and the locality benefited must
between them spend a dollar to
match 1t. AS fast as the state spends
100000 another 100000 will be
spent with it. Under the law the
money may be spent for ten years in
advance.
ut is time, as Senator Elwell says,
to do things in a large way No
railroad company would let it's con-
tracts in measly little snaches, a mile
here and mile there. Under this
law a county or several counties can
join in building, under state SUPER
vision, long blocks of road. cor,
'1nstead of the shovel and the hoe,
the roads can be built with steam
shovels and traction engines. In
stead of wheelbarrows, string of
four-ton wagons. Instead of sod
from the ditch, gravel from five to
ten miles away. And cost, perhaps,
not more than half what it has cost
to build roads under primitive meth
DDS. -.
'The constitutionality of the law
has been questioned. It is Senator
Elwells belief that the question is
not serious. This law is founded on
the ditch law, which has been af-
firmed. The court which found the
drainage law valid will not seek for
flaws in the same measure translated
to another purpose of similar import.
"Under the Elwell law, as under
the preceding law, no country can
take in any year more than per
cent of the total, and not less than
one-half of one per cent must be ap-
portioned to every county whether
it is used or not. A little simple
arithmetic will show that any "a
counties that apply fol. the maximum
can absorb 70 per cent of the states

GORE WILL MAKE REPLY
TO FLyNNS ARGUMENT

Washington, Jan. 12-That no testi-
mony has been given that would in any
way connect James R. McMurray. an
attorney of Oklahoma, with the
charges of irregularity made by Sena-
tor Gore in connection with Oklahoma
Indian land affairs, was the contention
of Dennis Flynn, attorey for Mr.. Nc
Murray, in his closing arguments be-
fore the house investigating commit
tee yesterday.
He said the evidence of all witnesses
examined tended to clear Mr.. McMur-
ray of all completely in any irregular
dealings that may have been under
way. Senator Gore will be given an
opportunity to present his final argu-
ment today.

AGRICULTURAL LANDS TO Be
OPENED FOR SETTLEMENT

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 12.-More than
100000 acres of agricultural, grazing
and timber lands will be available for
homestead purposes when the Colville
Indian reservation, north of Spokane,
is opened to settlement, according to
Clair Hunt, alloting agent in charge
of the apportionment of the reserve
land.
There are about $3.50 allotments to
be made" Mr.. Hunt said while in Spo-
kane the other day, "and the Indians
are choosing chiefly agricultural and
grazing lands. This will take about
100000 acres of a total of 1,40O 900
contained in the reserve, elaving H.
100000 acres that will belong to the
people.
Much of this will be first-class agri-
cultural land and large part of it
will be covered with some of the fin
est timber in the state of Washing
ton. A few of the Indians have shown
disposition to take land in the tim
Der regions.
THE Colville Indians are good agri-
culturists and grow all kinds of grains.
fruits and vegetables. Some of the
finest peaches raised in the state of
Washington are grown on reservation
lands. The Indians are peaceable and
friendly to the whites. They are in
dustrious and thrifty, and only few
of the older men, who are incapacitat-
ed for work, require aid from the gov
Mr. Hunt added that while no date
has been fixed for the opening of the
it is likely this will fol-
ow soon after the completion of the
allotment work. Much of the pre-
iminary work of assigning lands has
been completed, but so far few of the
allotments have been made. However.
he work is progressing and with the
arrival of another agent and additional
lelp it is expected to complete the as
'ignment and allotment in short order.

OKLAHOMA BEST
ADVERTISED STATE
State Geologist on Return From Trim
Through East, Says All Eyes Are
Turned on the New State,

Oklahoma City, Jan 12.-On his way
home from Pittsburg and Washington
where he had gone to attend a meet
ing of certain scientific societies and
boost for Oklahoma, Professor Gould.
state geologist, was talking to a friend
at the Lee-Huckins yesterday.
Il tell you" he said, oklahoma is
the best advertised state in the coun-
try. Everywhere l go people are talk
ing about us. Some of their ideas are
all wrong, of course, but at the same
time the general impression is pre-
valent that Oklahoma is state with
many resources.
THE people of the east are not al
ways sure just where Oklahoma is
located. One lady wanted to know if
had met her nephew who had a fruit
farm in the Willamette valley, and an
old gentleman who had just bought

assured him that all Oklahoma mort
cages were good stuff.
Il was introduced to a certain pro-
fessor of geology of Harvard. "Oh.
yes" he said, Gould of Oklahoma
let me see-oklahoma, yes yes! Why
we have some of your high school boys
in our department at Harvard. "so?"
] said, from what town do they
"oh, from Winnipeg" said he.
| thought this little too much even
for Harvard. To my certain knowledge
this man has been in Europe a dozen
times, as well as in South America and
Japan but he couldn't distinguish be-
tween Manitoba and Oklahoma.
Capital is looking more and more
to Oklahoma for investment. A few
years ago the eastern investor looked
askance at us, wondering what man
ner of people we were, but that day is
about past. The times are ripe for a
great influx of eastern capital into this
state. It's up to the people of the
state to get busy and go after it."

tanned
"One of the chief hinderances to the
proper enforcement of this law is the
prevailing practice of gambling in the
state. A large percentage of the vio-
lation of this law of prohibition, is di
rectly traceable to this cause. If YOU
will abolish gambling you will decrease
crime fifty per cent in the state. OF
course no one believes you can pass
law that will entirely stop gambling,
but you can lessen the evil. AS a means
to this end, recommend that you
make it felony for any man to run
a gambling house in this state. When
you have passed such law, you have
discharged your duty in this matter.
The responsibility for results will then
be placed upon other officials, and the
people of the state who believe in law

WANT TEN MILL TAX
LIMIT RESTORED
Municipal League Will Uurae the Pas
sage of Amendment to Present
Law Limiting City Taxes.

AS result of a letter written by J.
c. Starr, of this city to the Municipal
League of Oklahoma, that organiza-
tion has prepared bill, which will
soon be introduced in the state legis-
lature providing for a change in the
maximum tax rate for cities.
Under the present law the limit is
seven mills. The new bill will provide
for a limit of ten mills in cities.
On the face of it the proposition
may not look good to the tax payer,
but little thought makes it look right
for the cities. Each year a certain
amount of money must be raised to
pay the expenses of the city. If the
city can only levy a tax Of seven mills.
the property valuations must be in
creased in order to raise the needed
money On the increased property
valuations the state and county tax
is also levied, thus making the taxes
of the city property owner really high
er than they should be- If ten mill
levy is allowed the city will be able
to raise the necessary funds for con-
Quoting the city's business and the
owner will be saved the in
crease for state and county taxes.

CRUCE SAYS LIQUOR LAWS
OF STATE ARE INADEQUATE
Points Out Objections to System of Sending
State Enforcement Officers from Community
to Another Natural Resentment Against
the System--Declares if it is Wrong for
individual, 1t is Wrong for State

In his message to the legislature yes
terday Governor Cruce made plain his
stand with reference to prohibition.
His stand is the right stand and is as
follows:
There can no longer be honest
doubt in any mind that the people of
this state favor prohibition. On two
occasions the voice of the people has
Enthusiastically spoken in it's favor. 1t
is now the duty of the legislature and
this administration to see that these
demands are needed. 1t serves no good
purpose to try to disguise the fact that
the enforcement of the law in this
state has been unsatisfactory to the
people. The fault, however, has not
been with the state administration.
but with the law itself. The powers
given the governor have been entirely
inadequate. The best the governor
can do under the present law, is to
send enforcement officers from one
community into another, to try to en-
force laws that local officers fail. and
occasionally willfully refuse, to en-
force. These imported officials enter
the community with all the influence
these delinquent local officials and
their friends can command, thrown in
their way, to hinder and obstruct them
Coupled with this is the natural re-
sentiment that an Oklahoman holds
against the system. AS citizens of the
two territories prior to state govern
ment, we fought so constantly against
the idea of imported officials, that the
doctrine of local self-government has
become a fixed principle with nearly
all of us. Yet the state and this leg
islature owe duty to the good peo.
pie Of the state, and the law abiding
citizens in every community, no mat
ter how much they may be in the min
ority, are entitled to the protection of
the law. If local officials fail to give
this protection, the state must give it, |
otherwise, just and righteous govern
nent is farce and failure.
Again I regard the present law in |
adequate in this: We refuse the in |
lividual the right to deal in intoxicat- !
ng liquors, holding that the same is
vrong-yet in a collective capacity,
We have established dispensaries
where the state handles these outlaw
I'd liquors, and that, too, in the face

HOUSE SIDE-STEPs QUESTION
OF REMOVING STATE CAPITAL

Z Washington, d. c., Jan. 12. - The
house of representatives yesterday
side stepped" putting itself on record
in the fight over the location of the
capital of Oklahoma, pending in the
United States supreme court. During
the consideration of the Moon bill
for the codification of laws relating to
the judiciary, Representative Morgan
of Oklahoma offered an amendment
to the chapter relating to that state,
which would have changed the loca-
tion of the clerks Office of the west
ern division of the United States court
from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
The amendment called out a lively
debate as to the right of the state to
change the capital from Guthrie to
Oklahoma City, whereas the act ad-
mitting Oklahoma as a state provided
that the capital should remain at Guth-
rie until 1913.
Representative Mann of Illinois of
fered solution which he said would
not require congress "to eat dirt on
an act it passed few years ago." It
was adopted and provided that the
Guthrie office shall not be abolished.
but that there also shall be established
an office at Oklahoma City in charge
either of the clerk of the court himself
or deputy.

much favorable comment both from

the Oklahoma City press. The law

quest for law building for the uni

posits is collected.
All moneys collected are to be re-
