FACTS VERSUS BUNc.

So persistent are the Republican
press and campaign speakers in their
Misrepresentation of facts relative to
our state government, that perhaps 1t
may be worth while to repeat some
figures which we printed yesterday in
a news article. Our Republican
friends never grow weary Of singing
the terrible song about the awful cost
OF state government in Oklahoma, but
a census report, soon to be issued, ac-
cording to announcement from Wash
ington, may inject certain element
of discord into their tune. This re-
port shows the per capita cost of gov
eminent in the various states for the
year 1913 and some of the figures are
as fellows:
Oklahoma, sl.S9; Kansas, $2.96; Ne
braska, $3.50: Missouri, s2.27; Iowa,
s269; New York, s6.93; Minnesota,
s6.G6; Montana the same, and Arkan-
sas, s1.87.
From this It will be seen that Dem
ocratic Oklahoma has much to be
proud of. The people of this state do
not pay heavily to sustain their state
government The cost as given above
is from the national bureau Of statis-
tics.
The campaign document issued by
the Republicans for Fields would ter
rify the average man, make him be
lieve this state is doomed and that the
cost Of maintaining state government
is almost beyond the power of endur
ance. Like the balance Of statements
issued by the Republican press bu
reau, there is not the slightest founda
tion for the statement Of Oklahoma
government being expensive.

Gov. Cruce has made public profes-
sion of his conversion to the cause OF
woman suffrage He says it took him
ten years to make up his mind, but
now he is thoroughly convinced that
the women should have the ballot.
The governor is only one of many
who have been going through the same
processes of thinking. Anybody with
half an eye can see that woman suf-
frage will be universal in this coun-
try within very few years.

BY order of the governor Of the
state and mayor of the city, tomorrow
is to be observed as fire prevention
and cleanup day. We are commanded
to make careful examination OF our
premises and see that conditions that
may cause fire are remedied. Every
property owner and occupant should
do at least this much as matter OF
common sense and as precaution
against fires which so often arise from
carelessness. AT the same time we
are requested to clean up our yards
and alleys, and that is mighty good
thing to do any day.

There is no individual who does not

There is no city, county or state ad-

been made by the Democrats in this
state and that some rascals have been
elected to office nobody would be fool
iish enough to deny, but when John
Fields or anybody else comes around
making wholesale charges OF corrup-
tion in state afafirs, he stands a good
show OF being set down in the class of
political promoters whose principal
stock in trade is bunc. If Mr.. Fields
would confine his criticisms to points
that are properly open to attack, mat
ters of policy and principle about
which there may we'll be differences
OF opinion, he might command some
degree of confidence and give some
evidence of possessing the elements of

resenting and of the men whom he un-
justly traduces.

iating the funds belonging to others
for this purpose 1t is another matter.
Especially is this true where the i'm
personal government is concerned. II
is no wonder. then. that Washington
is surprised over the revelations.
While there is nothing dishonest in
Secretary McAdoo's performance. his
action is undoubtedly questionable.
He places government funds to the
amount of $4,000 on deposit with a
bank. which pays per cent. interest,
which IL loans out for per cent. TAX
ing a per cent profit.
Nor is this all. 1t was somewhat
amazing that the Secretary OF the
Treasury should put out nearly half a
million OF government funds at a time
when the administration is trying TO
raise slOo.OOo.OoO by a war tax"
The circumstance is further agra
waited by the fact that the State Of
Tennessee could have obtained the
loan from the National City Bank Of
New York and the Riggs National
Bank of Washington on terms which
Secretary MeAdoo himself might de-
eide TO be reasonable In support OF
this statement a Washington dispatch
relates:
As an evidence Of the purpose OF both
lhese institutions to cooperate with the
treasury Department In relieving finan-
clal distress. II was proposed that Secre-
tary McAdoo should fix the rate Of in
terest. The prevalent rate II not less
than per cent. but. in view of the fact
state desired TO take'up. was made at "a
rate OF approximately 4.2s per cent. ac-
cording To the reports OF the State Treas
urer. II would have been not unreazon-
able for Secretary McAdoo. ~ the repre-
sentatiVes OF the State OF Tennessee ac-
copied the proposition OF the National
city and the Riggs national banks. to
have fixed that rate TO have saved the
state from loss.
As q is. the State Of Tennessee loses
the difference between per cent and
f2s the rate which Secretary McAdoo
would have been warranted in fixing
while the government has deposited
sfOo.VO0 In national bank. which a.
might equally well have retained in its
own vaults.
Incidentally the transaction gives
the New York bank a neat little profit
Of $4,000 a year. while the increased
cost TO the people Of Tennessee will
amount to $4,000. When Major
