THE FINANCIAL
SITUATION

New York, June a. The foreign
money market has been strong during
the week, but American financial ac-
tivity has not been great. The ap-
proach of the warm season has wit
messed something Of let-up in various
lines. Crop prospects in the west
have been somewhat better than pre-
viously reported Those who attempt
to account for present slack period by
citing any single cause are in error.
Not one condition but several contri-
butte to it. Politics, the irregularity
of the season, the labor agitation, poll
tical conditions abroad and pending
judical actions all are factors in Great
ing uncertainty and inactivity.
An outstanding feature of modern
commercial history is the unparalleled
achievement of big business" No
other age has witnessed such indus
trial efficiency, commercial activity or
mechanical Ingenuity. Never before
have men so maryelonsly combined
Skill Of brain and hand with wealth,
The very nature Of this achievement
the coordination and combination Of
large interests into even larger units
makes it particularly open to attack
There is no more serious menace "
big business today than that whlc1
arises from the attacks of unscrupu-
lous or ignorant politicians who, lack
ing in honest or statesmanlike incli-
nations, seize upon the corporations
for political exploitation Indiscrimi
nate assaults against trusts" though
not in defense of real democracy, fre-
quently make good political capital.
Big business presents real problems
and has brought on real evils, Be
cause Of the very magnitude of these
wrongs they must be treated with wis
dom decision and honesty.

hard with good men and his friends
say he will be able to put up battle

Whoever gave VIM. Delay the name
of big Bill'' made no mistake. He
is big, and looks every inch man. He
stands six feet two inches in his stock

not so neglectful when the Mcnamara

Judge A. H. Huston, of Guthrie, has
dismissed the petition of Clark Hud-
son, Of Oklahoma City, asking that
the county commissioners of Oklahoma
county be mandamused to redistrict
the county in commissioners districts.
The court decided that the petition
should have been filed in the name of
the county attorney. AS at present
divided, Oklahoma county is one of
the worst gerrymandered counties in
the state, and the commissioners, who
are republicans, are unwilling that a
new division be made for fear that
the democrats might get control Of
the board of commissioners.

first five months of 1912 The total
receipts for the five months amount

from the collection of per cent on
all premiums collected within the
state, agents licenses, the annual en-
trance fees of life insurance COM
panies, fees for filing charters and the
insurance commissioners fees as at
torney for legal services Figures
compiled in the insurance department
+ show that during the four years pre-
ceding statehood, this department col
lected in revenues the sum of $75,593.
During the four years after statehood
the department collected S638s 800. The
receipts for 1911 were $20S,327. Out
of last years total receipts only seven
