that he is using every possible means
of reducing the expense of the admin
istration of state government, and has
sent out letters to the public encourag-
ing a closer watch on the expenditure
of the local units of government; and
whereas, he has indorsed the idea of
a reducation of the number of state in
stitutions and the stopping of useless
duplication in our educational system.
therefore be it resolved by the mem
bers of the Taxpayers Educational
league in mass meeting assembled at
Oklahoma City. this sixteenth day of
December, 1911, that we extend to him
our hearty endorsement for the stand
he has taken for economy, and pledge
ourselves to help in every way possible
to make this issue a reality and to re-
duce our system to a more economic
and sane basis in order that capital
and population may be encouraged to
come into our state"
The following members in addition
Ito the president and secretary, were
appointed to the campaign committee:
j. S. Morris of Hooker, George Smith
of Chandler and William Moore of
Broken Arrow. They will have charge
of the campaign for the adoption of
the bill. Organizations will be formed
in every county of the state, and an
aggressive fight will be waged.
J. S. Moore of Altus, who was elect
ed president, declared in his address
that the people of the state are tired
of the high taxes they are paying for
the maintenance of state institutions
from which they receive no direct ben
efits. He said that the Phillips bill
was condemned at meeting of citi-
zens of Altus, Phillips home town, and
that the real trainers of the bill are
known.

Don'ts For Christmas.

A house Of merriment is better than
a house of mourning.
The above is a suggestion from the
National Fire Protection Association.
The following further suggestions are
made:
Do not decorate your Christmas tree
with paper cotton or any other in
fiammable material Use metallic tin.
sci and other nonfiammable decorations
only, and set the tree securely so that
the children in reaching for things can
not tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow
If you must have snow use asbestos
fiber
Do not permit children to light or
relight the candies while parents are
not present. They frequently set fire
to their clothing instead. The tree
itself will burn when ueedles have be,
come ry.
Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time. Candles
are meant to be lighted and if the chill
dren can get matches they will expert
ment with them. Taey initiate theiI
elders.

MEASURE
A CAMPAIGN MOVE
Both Houses Of Congress VIII Adjourn
Thursday Until After the
Holidays.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1S.-Both
houses will adjourn next Thursday un-
til after the holidays.
/ The Sherwood so-called dollar-a-day
pension bill which the house has pass
ed, probably will not find an easy way
in the senate. Senator Gore of Okla
homa, leading democratic member
of the pension committee, already has
started ninquiry into the possibility
of passing action until the next session
when there will be no presidential
election. In the house the effect upon
either party of marked liberality to
the Mexican and civil war veterans, ag-
gregating possibly $75.0OO,000 ultimate
ly, was conspicuous factor and SEN
ator Gore contends that the subject
will not be so popular in congress after
the presidential election.
Senator NJ, Culberson, while not
committing himself to the Sherwood
bill Sunday, expressed the opinion that
some general pension legislation would
be enacted during this session of CON
gress.
He believes congressional action
should depend on the state of the
treasury and has taken steps to ascer-
tain that and to determine what VAR
ious plans of legislation might cost.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher is in
vestigating the cost.
The house democrats will caucus on
a number of pending questions, prob.
ably soon after the recess. The lead
ers contend that the economy pro-
gram must be maintained, that some
of the demands of committees and
democratic members for appropriations
must be refused, but in such way as
to avoid party dissension-
: The pension BILL already passed by
the mouse, carrying from $40.000,000 to
$75,OOO,O0O; the demand of the public
buildings committee for an amnibus
measure to carry between $25,000,000
and $30.00O000 and other large drafts
on the treasury have complicated the
situation. Democratic Leader Under.
wood insists that the public building
bill shall not be put through. The
work of the investigating committees
also is piling up expense.
The tariff boards report is expected
from the president this week, but the
ways and means committee probably
will not recommend action on the wool
or other schedules until after the re-
cess, but then will proceed vigorously
The democrats were not agreed last
summer as to the raw wool tariff, many
favoring free raw wool. This question
trust legislation and other things, will
be considered in caucus. The plan to
open the caucus to the public has had
strenuous opposition from those demo
Gratis who believe party differences
should be settled behind closed doors
Mr. Lorimer will appear before the
investigating committee this week and
the committee will then adjourn to
meet after the Christmas recess. Sen
ator Lorimer will testify under oath
for the first time.
The steel investigating committee of
the house and the committee on inter
state commerce which is investigating
trust problems will be in session this
week.

Year Old Girl.

Joseph Fenner, 80 years old. was
bound over to the superior court-at

of carnal abuse of a 16 year old girl.

Irene Laport of Peterboro, n. H.
E'enner was arrested in New Lon
don last week. He was under surveil-
lance for some time and the town au-
thorities had been trying to avoid
prosecution by having Fenner and the
girl legally married Her condition S
such that this was deemed the most
humane way of treating the case. The
girls mother gave verbal consent but
the town clerk would not consider this
when d license was applied for. Fen
ner previously claimed to have asked
for formal consent but this was prob
ably too difficult for the mother of the
girl to comprehend as necessary, for
she neglected to send a properly at
tested certificate.
The trial of Fenner was presided
over by Justice Marion r. Davis. DIR.
