BIG STICK METHODS
CHANGED TO TAFT
oregon Senator BY Inference Charges
President With Using Undue In
fluence on Members.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 2s.-Presi-
dent Taft, by inference, was charged
last night with using his appointive
power to intimidate members of con-
gress. The inferred charge was made
in a speech by Senator Jonathan Borne
of Oregon, president of the New Ag-
gressive Republican League and until
the recent trouble over an Oregon ap-
pointment, the intimate friend and
golfing companion of the executive.
The surprise was that although all
of the senators construed his remarks
as an attack on the president, not a
word was uttered in reply The Bev-
erly letters, in which Secretary Norton
said the president had withheld federal
patronage from insurgent senator's, but
would discontinue that practice, was
brought into the limelight On prev
ious occasions the insurgent senators
had threatened to read the letter, but
until last night no public reference
had been made to it.
Mr.. Borne opened his speech by a
of the Oregon law. He said
that when these laws are enacted by
all of the states, it will destroy all of
the power of the federal machines to
dominate a president or his successor.
''The steam roller" he says, will be
relegated to the political scrap heap
and it's operators to the shadow of
things forgotten. ana fourth class post
masters will cease to be a political as
set for anybody of any party"

NEW STATE BANK LAW HAS
REMED|ED MANY DEFECTS

ments are TO be levied against the
average daily deposits of each bank
sufficient to create fund equal to
per cent of the average daily deposits
of the bank during its existence, which
shall be payable, one-fifth the first
year of the existence of the bank, and
one-twentieth each year thereafter un-
til the entire per cent is paid If in
any year the deposits of bank in
crease the bank shall pay the added
amount upon the basis of assessments
provided and give credit to the guar
antee fund for the amount and issue a
certificate of deposit to the bank COM
missioner bearing per cent interest
After the total per cent assessment
has been paid by each bank, no addi-
ticnal assessments shall be levied, ex-
|cept emergency assessments, to pay de.
positors in failed banks and except as.
'sessments as may be necessary by rea-
son of increased deposits to maintain
the guarantee fund at per cent of the
aggregate deposits in all state banks.
Whenever the guarantee fund is i'm.
paired so as to bring it below 5 per
cent, by reason of payment to deposi-
tors in failed banks, the banking board
shall levy an emergency assessment
which shall not in any one year exceed
2 per cent of the average daily depos-
its of all such banks.
If the amount realized from emer-
gency assessments is insufficient to
pay all depositors in a failed bank the
banking board shall issue certificates
of Indebtedness for unpaid deposits
bearing 6 per cent interest, consecu-
lively numbered and which shall be
paid upon call of the banking board
in the same manner as state warrants.
The regular assessments heretofore
paid by state banks to the guarantee
fund shall be credited on the total of
8 per cent to be collected under the
|present act.
Assets of failed banks, as fast as
realized upon, are to be applied first
to cost of liquidation of the institution,
second to reimburse the guarantee
fund for the money paid to depositors
of such failed institution, and third
toward refunding emergency assess
ments made for the purpose of paying
the depositors.

Oklahoma City, Mar. Probably
the most far reaching and important
legislation of the present session is
the Roddie banking bill. which has
been signed by Governor Cruce and
now is effective. 1t makes a number
of important and radical changes in
the bank guaranty law, and attempts
to cure a number of defects in the act
as pointed out by bankers and by Gov
ernor Cruce in his prediction plat
form. The state bankers seemed to
be pleased with the law, as now amend
ed, and commendatory resolutions
have been passed by nearly every di-
vision of the state bankers associa-
tion.
A defect of the old law whicn has
been cured is that which gave the
banking board vast sum of money
to handle and deprived the banks of
the use of the money contributed by
them to the fund. The new act pro-
vides that all the assessments levied
against the state banks shall be re-
deposited with the banks that paid
them, such banks to issue certificates
of deposits in favor of the bank COM
missioner and pay 4 per cent interest
on the amount until needed by the
banking board.
The provisions of the new law brief
iy are as follows: The state banking
board is composed of the governor, as
ex-officio chairman, and two men ap-
pointed by him. without any restric-
tions as to whether they are bankers.
The bank commissioner is made ex-
officio secretary of the board and is to
receive $4,000 per annum and travelling
expenses. Each member of the bank
ing board receives Sc a day for all
time spent in his duties, together with
travelling expenses and hotel bills. The
bank commissioner is given twelve as
sistants, at salaries of $4,000 per an
mum each and travelling expenses, who
are appointed by the commissioner,
with the approval of the governor, and
who are barred from having any in
terest in a bank while employed by
the department,
The plan of levying assessments on
the banks is changed entirely. Assess

.UPHOLOS COMMISSIONS
RIGHT TO ORDER DEPOT BUILT

Oklahoma City, Mar. 1.-The cor
poration commission is sustained in
its order requiring the Frisco Rail
road company to erect $4,000 brick
or concrete depot at Tahlequah. The
court holds that the only limit to the
commissions authority is that the
order must be just and reasonable, and
the one under consideration is both.
Contempts committed in the pres
ence of the court constitute criminal
offenses and if an appeal is taken up
on convictions for such, it must be to
the criminal court of appeals. This
holding was made by ustice Williams
in the case of William Smythe against
Matte A. Smythe, appealed from Creek
county yesterday

NJ MURRAY UPHELD
IN FINAL REPORT
Majority of Committee However Did
Not Find That Jake Hamon Made
improper Proposal to Gore.

Washington, ID. c. Mar. 1.-The spe-
eial committee of the house appointed
last summer to investigate Senator
Cores charge of attempted bribery in
connection with ]. F. McMurray's In
dian attorney contract in Oklahoma
made its final report to the house last
night.
The majority of the committee finds
that Jake l.. Hamon actually did,
about May 6, 1910, make an improper
proposal to Senator Gore respecting
the McMurray contracts, and that
about June 16, 1910, he approached
Representative Charles f. Creager
with an improper proposal on the
same subject.
The committee finds no evidence
however. to show that Hamon was
acting "by authority or with the con-
sent or knowledge of McMurray." On
this ground the committee exonerates
McMurray of any connection with an
attempt to improperly influence mem
bers of the house of the senate.
It does find, however, that he used
more than undue influence" TO Sc
cure the support of Chief Green Nc
Curtain and his son, D. C. McCurtain
in getting these contracts by transfer
ring contingent interest of $4,000
in the contract to D. c. McCurtain.
The committee" says the report,
further believes that the mental con-
dition existing among mep9bers of the
Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes inde-
tending to the good faith of the Unit
ed States government in dealing with
them has been largely brought about
through an effort of McMurray and
members of the tribe financially in
terested or sympathically cooperative
with him to create a sentiment de-
signed to aid McMurray in obtaining
lucrative contracts with the Indians
which otherwise would have been i'm
possible.
The committee finds that no mem
Der of the house or senate has had any
interest whatever in the McMurray
contracts. The intlmation that Rep
resentative Bird S. Mcclure of Okla
homa had some such interest is found
TO be without foundation. and to have
arisen from the friendly relations ex-
listing between Mr.. Mcclure and Mr..
McMurray.
The connection of former Senator
Chester I. Long of Kansas and former
Senator John NJ. Thurston of Ne
braska with the McMurray contracts is
held TO have been entirely proper, be-
ing simply the interest of attorneys
properly employed. Both were en-
ployed in legal way after they had
left the senate.

MARCH LION IS
ALREADY HEARD
February is Departing in Mass of
Ice And sIeet-May Be Omen
OF Better Weather.

Those who had hoped February
would pass without the usual disagree
able weather were disappointed when
this, the last day of the month, with
the trees and other vegetation cover
ed with mass of ice AS the day
wore on a cold rain began falling,
which has every indication that it will
develop into a regular old sleet storm.
However this cold and disagreeable
day may not be the parting kiss of
February, but may be the roar of the
March lion. If the old adage, IF
March comes in like lion it viii go
out like a lamb" be true the people
of this section should rejoice for the
windy month will certainly be ushered
in like lion.
