LEGISLATURE
is IN SESSION
RECOMMENDATIONS OF GENERAL
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
RECEIVED

Oklahoma City, June 26.--RemovaI
from office of John b. Doolin, State
Game and Fish Warden, for inatten-
ton to the duties of his department,
was one of the recommendations of
the general investigating committee in
report made to the House of Repre-
sentatives Monday. According to the
committees findings, Doolin spends
only about one third of his time in the
office, and permits 1t to be operated
by the secretary, Don B. Lawhead.
Another finding is that Doolin Great
ed the office of secretary, fixing the
salary at 81 500 a year, without author
ity of law. Doolin was an appointee
Of the Governor, and may only be re-
moved at the Governors order.
The committee submitted twelve
other reports, the leading one dealing
with the state banking department and
management of the guaranty fund. Be-
tween the date the guaranty fund went
into effect and May l of this year,
state banks had paid into the guar
anty fund, the report shows, total
of $1,77S,S49. All Of this and $419,14
more, realized on banking board war
rants has been used in liquidating
failed banks. The guaranty fund now
has in cash $4,000, and with the board
are listed assets as being worth S2,-
417,735. Five Oklahoma City bank
failures cost the guaranty fund ST.
429,231. The Alamo State Bank of
Muskogee cost the fund $14S,15S; the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Sapul-
pa, $102,450; Oklahoma State Bank,
Sapulpa, $s71O3 and the Creek Bank
and Trust Company, Sapulpa, s6S,O15,
according to the committees figures.
and 1t. adds that the "loss and dissi-
patton of this vast sum conclpsively
proves that the management of this
department has been extremely inef-
ficient."

ative were admitted to benefits of the

guaranty fund with very little care
used in the examination, the committed
says.
The State Treasurer, the committed
says IN a report, has conducted the
department honestly and according to
law. Dealing with the states bond
issue of $2,sOO,O0O refunding state war
rants, the committee recommends that
the interest rate be increased from 4
tc AZ per cent.
In general supervision and physical
management of the institution II would
be difficult to improve, is the COM
mittee's language dealing with the
state penitentlary at McAlester. The
committee adds that It did not attempt
to investigate the business manage
ment of the prison.
The action of the Third Legislature
increasing the pay of the Commission
er Of Charities and Corrections, Miss
Kate Barnard, after she had been NOM
mated and was sure of election, is
criticised by the com iittee. In addit-
ion the Commissioner Is criticised for
lobbying" the alleged Illegal increase
through, from 81 500 to $2,5OO per year,
which the committee says was "in di-
rect violation of the constitution" It
is recommended that the Attorney
General bring suit to recover for the
state what the Commissioner has re-
ceived by reason of the Third Legis-
lature's action.
Attention is called that Miss Bar
nard, II. Huson, former assistant COM
missioner, and DR.. J. II. Stolper, for
mer public defender of the depart
ment, spent in the aggregate 81 ,44S

BANKERS AND THE
LIVESTOCK MOVEMENT

In Oklahoma, bankers are the great
est boosters of the livestock industry
of any class of people. Bankers know
that a great livestock state always is
a prosperous state, and every financial
institution in Oklahoma is co-operat-
ing in the movement for more and
better livestock.
In an advertisement published in a
Kingflshcr newspaper, the First Ma
tional bank of that city used much
space for a display advertisement. Yet
the advertisement never mentioned
money, nor interest, nor securities.
The advertisement was designed to
help the livestock industry, and, there
fore, all business interests, not the
least of which is banking.
Here's the advertisement of that
bank; it has the right ring:
eve were talking with a man today
who purchased high-grade Perche-
ron mare in the fall of 1905 at cost
of s155. This mare has been bred
each year since that time TO a regis
tered Percheron horse, and raised a
colt each year, all of which are alive.
One gelding has been sold for 5000
cash at three years of age. The ball
ance of these colts being mares, are
kept by the owner Do you think this
has paid? Don't you believe that the
time. energy and feed spent on these
horses has paid better than the same
amount of time and energy spent in
raising crops and hauling them to
town ?'-Oklahoman.
