Mass Of Testimony
Taken by Grand Jury

The federal grand jury is still zeal
ously working on matters before them.
They are far from the end of their
deliberations. The mass of witnesses
in the witness rooms and corridors of
the county Jail does not decrease, on
the contrary seems to be on the in
crease, a condition that indicates con
siderable business yet to do.

NO WAR TAX
AMPS IN
CHICKASHA

If YOU want to purchase war tax
stamps for use in Chickasha it will be
necessary TO send either to Oklahoma
City or Dallas, Tex. There is no reve-
nue. official located in Chickasha to
whom application can be made. Post
master Barefoot in explaining the pro
cess OF securing war tax stamps says:
Il have no supply of such stamps,
neither have instructions from the
department to issue them. The U. S.
revenue officers in Dallas and Okla
hcma City are the nearest points at
which such stamps can be purchased
so far as ] know"
The local banks are not in posses
sion Of a supply Of stamps, neither do
they expect to handle them. So it ap-
pears that Chickasha people needing
these special war tax stamps will
have to send to the Y. S. revenue Of
flee in either Dallas, Tex. or Okla
homa City, Okla, for them. 1t was
expected that the postoffices in the
various cities and towns would be
made the sub-stations, but from every
where come the reports that Uncle
Sans stores are not handling the
stamps. People of Chickasha will be
required to send to Hubert Bolin, Ok
lahoma City, U. S. revenue collector,
for the stamps.
Clyde Kelley, manager of the Pho
neer Telephone company, stated this
morning that he had been notified to
add one cent on all telephone mes
sages taken over the long distance
This will be added to the subscribers
bill at the end OF the month. The same
ruling is in effect at the telegraph
offices.
The direct war tax already is in eff
feet and must be paid before Decem-
her ], or a so per cent penalty will be
added. 1t applies to banks, brokers OF
all kinds, proprietors of theaters, pic
ture shows or concert halls. proprie-
tors OF eircuses or public exhibitions,
commission merchants of every kind,
all dealers in tobacco, and proprietors
of bowling alleys and billiard halls.
The stamp tax proper went into ef-
feet last night at midnight. Three
classes of stamps are provided-one
for use on proprietary articles, anoth-
er for wines and liquors, the third for
documents. Stamps for the latter
class are in the greatest demand. They
must be used on almost every kind OF
commercial paper or transaction. They
range in price from one-eighth of a
cent up.
In general, war tax stamps must be
be put on all deeds and mortgages and
conveyances, transfers of stocks, op
tions, insurance policies, with the ex
ception of life or accident policies
bonds, stocks and promissory notes. a
tax must also be paid on kilograms OF
telephone messages where the charge
amounts to more than fifteen cents
also on all Pullman tickets. The com
panies are arranging to pay these di
rectly, so the public will not have t
bother with them
Citizens needing these war ta'
stamps can procure them through al
order by their local bank,

POSTAL SAVINGS BOOMING

Washington, D. c., Oct. 30.-The war
in Europe is proving a big boon to
postal savings in this country. From
the very day hestilities opened across
the seas postal-saEing gs receipts began
to Increase. by leaps and bounds and
Withdrawals fell off, result quite
contrary to the predictions of many
well-informed persons who, in their
aginat1ons- saw lines Of feverish de-
positors at post-ofice pay windows
anxious to again return their savings
to the bootleg and body-belt deposi-
tories whence they came before in
trusted to Uncle Sam. But the fore.
casters failed to reckon on the abso-
Lutte confidence Of the American citi-
zen, regardless OF the flag that first
met his eyes, in the ability and pur-
Epose of the Government to carry out
its obligations, not only among the
nations of the. earth, but with the
humblest citizen of our land.
Two Important results have follow
ed; thousands OF people, largely of
foreign birth, accustomed to send their
saving abroad. are now patrons of cur
postal savings system; and: enormous
sums of actual cash have been released
for commercial uses among our own
people at a time when the need for
every available dollar is pressing
The growth Of postal savings in the
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between the tin-can
depository and the factory paymaster.
On July 1, when affairs were running
smoothly here and abroad and the
transmission OF money across the At
lantic was safe and expeditions, there
was approximately 43,000000 Of pos
tai savings standing to the credit OF
about 388,000 depositors. Since then
over $10,000,000 of deposits have been
| added and the number of depositors
has increased enormously This un-
precedented gain is the more striking
when it is considered that the net gain
in the last three months is larger than
the gain for the entire fiscal year
1914. Scores Of offices have done more
postaI-saVings business since the war
has been going on than was done by
| them during the previous existence Of
the service. The increases are con
fined to no special localities, but have
been felt in every nook and corner of
the country New York City alone
made q gain in S sptember of mere
than a million, while Brooklyn showed
a relatively big increase. Chicago re
ported a larger gain in the past three
months than for the previous twelve
months. More than 1900 new ac-
counts were opened during the period.
bringing the number Of depositors in
that city up to over q ,000
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting problems
which have called for the careful per-
sonal consideration OF Postmaster
| General Burleson and Governor Dock
cry, Third Assistant Postnaster-Gen-
eraI But their task. has been light
ened somewhat by the promptness OF
depository banks in furnishing addit-
iona1 security to meet the abnormal
deposits a number of the very larg-
est banks in the country, which have
heretofore declined to qualify as de-
] positories for postal-savings funds
