BANKERS DECIDE TO BRING
MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS

Oklahoma City, Nov 10.-While the
date upon which mandamus proceed
ings will be instituted by banks hold
ing old state warrants to compel the
state board of equalization to raise
the levy y mills to pay the warrants
has not been determined, such a move
has been definitely decided upon and
the action probably will be instituted
within the next dey days. The writ
of mandamus will be asked in the su-
.preme court, which can take jurislic-
tion direct.
In addition to Oklahoma City banks
that hold the old warrants, several
banks from other parts of the state
will join in the action to mandamus
the board Thursday bankers from
Enid, Norman, Ell Reno, and Edmond
indicated their desire to become par
ties to the suit, and meeting of the
Oklahoma City clearing house was
held to discuss the question. 1t was
determined to pro rate the cost of
bringing the proceedings among the
various banks interested.
1t will be recalled that in making
the state levy, the board laid levy
of 2 mills on a property valuation of
approximately $1,927 100000 to provide
for the current expenses of the state
government, but refused to levy to
pay off an old deficit of 81 400, 900.
1t is the claim of the bankers that
this deficit should have been provided
for first of all, and that the board of
equalization had no discretion in the
matter, the duties being prescribed by
law. There is now no chance, they
assert, for the board to raise the valu.
alton, but the board can add the extra
liz mill levy and have the taxes col
lected.
While large amount of the war.
rants are held by Oklahoma City
banks, those in cities where state in
stitutions are located also are inter
ested, since the old warrants were
largely for salaries and were cashed
by the banks in anticipation of al
early payment. They claim that by
taking up new warrants, they would
be seriously embarrassed.
Bankers who have bought a large
number of warrants assert that they
really are losing proposition, since
they receive 6 per cent interest on
them, and pay per cent. The pei
cent is not net, however as it is paid
on daily balances, while the 6 pei

whenever the state has the money,
and in the present instance that may
be long time
1T has been proposed to leave the
question up to the legislature which
will put proposition of voting fund
ing bonds to pay off the old warrants" :"
said a banker Thursday There is no
assurance, however, that the people
of the state would ratify an issue of
funding bonds, and the deficit virtually
would be repudiated if the bonds fail
ed to carry. 1t simply is a-matter of
protection for the banks to mandamus
the board to secure the payment of
the old warrants The banks do not
want to be placed in a position of
wringing additional taxes for the peo-
pie of the state that failed to appro-
pirate sufficient funds to carry through
the administration under which the
deficit was incurred"
A majority of the warrants held by
banks in Oklahoma are for salaries,
those which We're issued in payment
for large orders of supplies and ma.
chinery having been sent east as a
general rule, and they are now held by
banks in New York, Chicago and other
cities.

WANTSLAWAGAINST
RUNNING A CORNER
Government Asserts Market Manipu-
lations Are in Violation of sher-
man Antitrust Act.

Washington, d. c., Nov 10-For the
first time, the government yesterday
asked the supreme court of the United
States to proclaim the law for the land
that the running a corner" on stock
exchange is in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The point came up in the oral argu-
ment of Solicitor General Lehman in
support of the indictment of James A.
Patten, Eugene G, Scales, Frank B.
Hayne and William p Brown on
charge of conspiracy on January /,
1910, to run a corner of cotton" on
the New York cotton exchange.
Essential counts in the indictment
had been declared erroneous by the
United States circuit court for south
ern New York and the government was
arguing for a reversal. Ex-senator
John c. Spooner, argued for an affirm
ance.
One or twice in the argument, Chief
Justice White asked if the government
considered that combination to force
down the price of commodity would
be in violation of the law, as well as a
combination to put the prices up, as
charged in the present indictment. Mr..
Lehman said he was not familiar
enough with the markets to reply. The
chief justice also failed to get can
else answer to his querry about the
legality of planters combining for
higher prices.
