and the consequence was that millions
of savings was not available for cor
porate advancement, even of honest
and well managed companies.
In his argument for Federal in
corporation law, ]. Selwin TAFT, presi-
dent of the Washington and Southern
Bank, specially calls attention to these
facts in contradistinction to the pre-
vaiIing trend in England, Germany,
and France, where the savings of the
people seek investments in home in
dustrials, being securely protected by
corporation laws.
Prior to 1884, conditions in corpo-
rate affairs in Germany were much
the same as in the United States to-
day. But the determination to pro-
gress industrially on a sound basis
brought about such a reorganization
of methods and hedged about the cor
poration in such a way that 1902 i'm
portant Industrial issues were success
fully brought out in nine years prior
to 1907.
The banking business of the empire
increased sevenfold, and the foreign
trade of Germany became the surprise
of the commercial world.
The map of Germany was changed
from a slow moving agricultural state
to a lively industrial hive under the
made in Germany" trademark, with
every man of even small capital a
shareholder, his rights guarded by the
state.
England, Germany, and France in
turn protected the investor from the
fake corporation. England, Germany,
and France are three mighty powers
industrially.
Here in the United States laws have
been made protecting other manufac
lures from monopolies; true the
mails, the chief vehicle of fraudulent
promoters of blue sky" propositions,
have been closed time and again, but
usually after the damage has been
done
Great railroad corporations and some
great industrial companies are begin
ming to have many American share
holders, but the money of the savers
goes largely into real estate, a nom
liquid asset in time of danger.
Prohting by the laws of England
and Germany our lawmakers should at
once undertake the consideration of
a Federal incorporation law.
Mr. TAFT holds that such a law
would Immediately beget confidence in
all corporations that qualified there
under. Banking money could be bet
ter employed and the income to the
saving community would be larger.
He contends that the largeness of a
corporation should be no bar to its
incorporation. This is the day of
great formations. We may go further
and hope that the government will find
some way of dealing with the subject
of combinations so as to enable our
corporations to meet the combined
corporations of other countries, in the
worlds market on equal footing"
In Mr.. Tait's opinion "a Federal in
act should be promptly
by the courts.
An incorporation law for the Dis
trict is urged, as a matter of necessity.

COUNTY SEAT WAR
IN DELAWARE
DIDN'T PAN OUT

Grove, Okla, Jan A. - There will
probably be no county seat war in
Delaware county Because the county
records were removed from Grove,
which has heretofore been the county
seat, to New Jay, a suburb" of Jay,
the new seat of government, the war
threatened.
Jay is a brand new town. 1t was
made to order for county seat pur-
poses, being situated in the very cen
ter of the county. There were two To-
cations for the court house one of
which is a mile and half from the
present town Lots sold fast when the
agitation for a new county seat began
and when the matter came to a vote.
Grove, which is situated on a railroad,
lost out. AS is usual in county seat
matters, the case went to the supreme
court which decided that Jay was the
county seat
Then Governor Cruce issued a proc
lamatlon ordering the county records
removed to the new capital Instead
they were taken to New Jay, the "su-
burb." The people of the real town
objected and tried to take the records
laway and then the trouble commenced
Governor Cruce heard of the diff.
Guilty and ordered Adjutant General
Canton to proceed to Jay and there
| find out whether or not troops would
be required to enforce the terms OF
his proclamation The adjutant gen.
eral arrived there yesterday and the
trouble is all over. The people who
live in Creekmore or the suburb
have agreed to relinquish their guard

taken to the original townsite of Jay

Jack rabbits, coyotes and even the

Death of a Western Pioneer.

pioneers, going to St. John 80 years
ago with her husband, Washington A.

Der of the Donner party She was
born in Springfield, Ill., in December,
.1S41. In 1916 G. A. Donner, Mrs. Bah
cocks father. accompanied by his wife
and children, started for California
overland in a company of 81. The
party experienced danger and suffer
ing. Mr. Donner received a flesh
wound and blood poisoning set in. 1t
became so severe that the party had
to leave him. His wife refused to go,
but got the party to take the children.
Neither she nor her husband were
rescued or heard from later. The chill
dren with the party went on to Cali
fornia, but to such extremes were they
driven that shoe leather and shoe
strings were boiled for food and the
flesh of those who died was eaten by
those who survived. Only 45 of the
81 who started reached California.
The early settlers united in caring for
the children. The two youngest grew
up through the kindness of a Swiss
woman and after they grew to woman
hood they looked after their former
benefactress. Mrs. Babcock leaves a
son, Frank B., and a daughter, Mrs.
Edith NJ Foley, at Walla Walla, Wash.

Vinita High School Defeats Tulsa.

In fast game of basket ball the
Vinita high school team defeated the
Tulsa team on the latter's court last
Saturday night. to the score of 80 to
q. The teams were fairly well match
ed and put up an exciting game
throughout. Early in the game the
Tulsa team took the lead for several
points, but in a short time the Vinita
boys became accustomed to the court
and began showing their real strength.
AT the beginning of the second half
the teams having changed goals, the
ViHlta boys seemed unable to locate
the basket, but after about five min
utes of play the Vinita forwards again
got down to business and in a short
time had run up several points ahead
of their opponents. In the last five
minutes of play Vinita seemed to slow
down but the lead that had been taken
earlier enabled them to keep the big
end Of the score. All during the game
Vinita displayed better style Of
game: Tulsa played harder and rough
er but Vinita outclassed them on team
work.
Judging from the class of game ex-
hibited Saturday night, another week
at hard training will put the Vinita
team in excellent condition.

How Oklahoma Can Succeed.

Editor Chieftain: Your invitation
to the readers of the Chieftain for
their opinion in furthering the sue
cess and building up of greater Ok
lahoma, received and in reply will
say, while we believe Oklahoma has
out-stript the world, We still believe
it has only started on its forward
march.
There are a number of things in
my mind that will materially assist
Oklahoma to better her condition.
The first thing according to my
judgment is the kind of laws we have
on our statute books. Are they fair
and honest to all alike? Or are they
inclined to favor certain interests? :?
Have we elected fair and honest states
men and representatives in our legis-
lature or have we made the mistake
of electing politicians whose aim has
been to build up political machine
and to hold the reins of the govern
ment and provide jobs for the faith
full.
If we have made this mistake then
we may expect to pay for our folly.
If we place good men in Office we will
not need to hire special enforcement
officers to do the work, while the 9TH
ers sit around in their offices and
dream.
If we spend 100000 for a prohibi-
ton law then lets keep our state out
of the saloon business and a thousand
other things | that could mention but
space forbids
Now for the remedy, let us rise
above partisan politics and work as
one man for the up-building of our
state. Let us chain up our yellow
dog ideas and leave them at home on
election days, and work for the benefit
of all the people.
Then there will be less expenses
and of grievious taxation we will
hear no more as it is today and the
newspapers are stirring up public opin-
ion. Let them agitate the above move
ment and condemn every official that
fails in his putty irrespective of party
utilization with the above conditions.
Protesting justice and seek to guide
them and Oklahoma will grow like
vine and not only will be a rich and
happy people but will be the wonder
ard admiration of the entire world.
