OKLAHOMA BANK
ON HIGH STANDARD
Oklahoma Commissioner Recommends
Stringent Reforms That will
Abolish Speeulator.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 2-Declaring
that he has barred politics in the man
agement and control of state banks
and that he has set high moral and
financial standard for state bankers.
]. d. Lankford state bank commits
sioner, addressed the state bank ex-
aminers and present and former at
tachees of the banking department at
a banquet here.
Il have been told recently that
have set the standard too high" said
Landlord, land that few could measure
up to my requirement In my candid
opinion it would be matter of inn
possibility to set too high standard
in banking. The mere fact that a man
is banker should be sufficient evi-
dence and guarantee in itself of the
very highest sense of honor and in
tegrity but unfortunately it has not
always been so in Oklahoma. Some
have debased and prostituted this high
calling and there may yet be some of
this class in banks of Oklahoma but
very few"
Commissioner Lankford stated that
if in any way the criminal laws relat-
ing to bankers are lame they should
be amended and strengthened at the
next session of the legislature so that
it would be physical impossibility in
the future to defeat justice.
"a banker should not be a specula-
tor" continued the commissioner. "He
should be banker and nothing else.
In my Judgment the final solution of
this " Die question is the vigorous
prosec ution. punishment and convic-
ton of all crooks and defaulters and
under no circumstances will the bank
ing department of Oklahoma ever ac-
cept any compromise while am at it's
head"

Kansas City Stock Yards. Jan. a.
Only few cattle were shipped in last
week, the Christmas holiday and
storms early in the week cutting into
the weeks trade sharply. While there
was no urgent demand, prices advanc-
ed about 20 cents during the week. 1t
also became evident during the week
that the price range on steers is clos
ing up. Dealers sey sales above eight
dollars will be rare for awhile, and few
er cattle are selling under six dollars
than a few weeks ago. She stuff and
butcher grades made a sharp advance
the last days of last week. The storm
yesterday and Saturday again cut
down the supply today, though $500
cattle arrived in spite of disabilities
of railroads. The market today was
strong to Is higher One drove of
steers bought at nine dollars for de.
livery today went over the scales at
that figure, but the next highest SAFE
was at $3.50. The contract cattle were
bought by Weber, the Kansos City
butcher. and Armour will slaughter
them for him. Yard traders sold out
lclean last week, only 1,200 cattle re-
naming in the yards over Sunday,
and they were keen buyers of stockers
| and feeders this morning Feeders sell
at $500 to $500, stockers $4.00 to
i$5.75. Calves are 25 to so cents higher
than a week ago, best $3.50. Only a
handful of quarantine cattle came in
today, three cars from Arkansas, high
ly mixed, and common quality. Meal
fed steers are worth $5.40 to $500, on
the basis of last weeks sales. A
healthy cattle trade is expected this
month, in all classes, and moderate re-
lreipts is the popular prediction.
Hogs received some hard knocks
last week, the buyers ending the week
decided the victors. The trade does
not incline that way, and the tendency
lof prices during January is likely to
be upward. 1t depends somewhat on
the demand for pork product from
labroad. and promising start in this
respect was made today, when Swift
|shipped Fl car loads of lard to Europe,
routed via Galveston The run here
today is $500 head, market 10 higher,
top $500, bulk $3.50 to $615.
Sheep and lambs quit last week at
the highest point reached in Decem-
Der, and the market is strong today.
The run is $500 today, fed western
lambs at $3.50 yearlings worth S5.25,
wethers $3.50, ewes $4.OO. Lamb
prices are about like they were a year
ago while sheep are so to rs cents
lower now than they were year ago.
Prices made no material gain the first
four months in 1910, but there should
be better demand for mutton this
year, with perhaps less number on
feed, with prospects therefore favoring
stronger markets this winter.

Frisco Agents to Be Business eetters.

Frisco Agents to Be Business Getters.
The Frisco proposes to give its
agents an opportunity of proving their
ability as business getters, claim set.
tiers, and general managers generally
of territory which will be assigned to
them
The western division, which centers
about Enid, Okla. will be stripped of
its claim agents, passenger and freight
representatives and others who have
heretofore assisted the station agent,
and the station agent will be vested
with authority sufficient to transact a
large percent of the business which
the patrons bring to his attention,
without referring it to any department
or official. In this way the patrons OF
the Frisco will be able to accomplish
in few moments many ma crs
which formerly took at least several
days.
Effective January /, 1912, the agents
On the 0CotClH QlNtSlOii VI Tue IloSD
will have certain territory indicated
to them by Superintendent Schleyer
and it will be up to them to get busi-
ness out of it, These agents will not
only have authority to settle claims
for freight loss and damage, but for
live stock as we'll and further they
will represent the company in all nut
ters where traffic is concerned in their
territory, and will also have, to some
extent, voice in the affairs of the
company, the idea being that the sta.
tion shall be managed by the station
agent as far as possible, and that IN
the community he shall represent the
railroad company identically as Al
agent represents a business house III
a territory which has been selected
for him.
Superintendent Schleyer will have
to act upon all matters in
which the public is concerned, and
will be able to adjust many such mat
ters without referring them to others
for decision
II the experiment o nthe western di-
vision proves a success, the new order
will be extended to other divisions.
