PRACTICAL ECONOMY.

+. B. Howard, state auditorelect,
has gone over the school budgets Of
the state for the next year and has
reduced them already to the amount
of 100000. No buildings viii be con
structed except when they are abso-
lutely necessary and all appropriations
asked for which can be denied with
out Gripping the efficiency Of the
schools, will be eliminated The work
which Mr. Howard is doing is in keep
ing with the economy of the entire
state at this time, and the people will
appreciate his good work along that
line Many crimes of waste have been
committed in the name of educa-
tion. but the people have as much
right to economize in the operation
OF schools as they have to economic
with the rearing of their children in

COST OF VICTORY

After four years OF bitter conflict
the Colorado mine strike has been
settled. The main feature of the set.
tlement being a 10 per cent reduction
in wages
1t is a victory for the operators,
their gunner, their murderous mill.
tia and their gang politics, although
the unionists were probably wise in
calling off the strike.
But isn't this victory a good deal
like the victory of the British at
Bunker Hill? Surely, it leaves in the
hearts OF thousands of men more ha.
tired OF the law, more envy of the rich,
more scorn OF society, more deter
mination to combat force with force
when better opportunity arises.
Society does not strengthen itself
by crushing men. Mems friendship is
not won by triumph of brute force.
Patriotism is not prompted by vic
tory over justice
Colorado has earned repute as a
commonwealth that cheapens men. 1t
is not good for a state that is young
and wants to grow,-Tulsa Sun

SUIT INVOLVES
SOME VALUABLE
OIL LEASES
ARRAY OF LEGAL TALENT IN THE
DISTRICT COURT WILL BATTLE
FOR VALUABLE OIL LANDS IN
SECTION 6-43.

A suit will be tried in the district
court tomorrow, involving some yalu-
able oil leases on 10 acres of land in
section 6-4-3, upon which two yalua-
BILE wells are already in operation.
The style OF the suit is the Marion
Oil Co. vs.. W. c. Skelley and w. L.
Russell. In their petition plaintiffs
allege that there was an oral agree
ment between themselves and defend
ant to acquire oil and gas leases. that
under this agreement they did acquire
the same. each paying their pro-rata
part They further allege that on or
about the first day OF October, 1913,
defendant negotiated with the ward 5
guardian for lands above located, con-
sisting OF 10 acres, paying for the
same out of his personal funds, that
plaintiffs asked him to accept one
half payment for the same and assign
one-half interest to them, but that de-
fendant refused to do so. That some
time after this date he assigned to
". l.. Russell of Lima, Ohio, one-half
interest in the above mentioned
leases for one dollar and other valua-
BILE considerations. The plaintiffs al
lege that Skelly and Russell were part
ners in several other enterprises and
were closely identified in business. In
view OF the fact that the plaintiff Skel-
ly refused and still refuses to comply
with the terms OF his agreement, plain
tiffs ask that the court set aside and
declare for naught the assignment of
the said Skelly to Russell, and that
an injunction be made permanent from
operating the property.
Johnson and McGill are attorneys
for the plaintiff, while the defendant
is represented by r. a. Heffner A. c.
Cruce Of Oklahoma City and Sher.
nan Neasey and OMera and Perry
Of Tulsa. This case will probably be
called tomorrow morning.
r. l.. Meeker and George /. Craig
stockholders in the Marion Company
of Pittsburg, are here for the trial.

GENEROUS LON FRAME

Lon Frame, the generous spirit We
always knew him to be, has given to
the poor OF the city Of Oklahoma City
car OF coal. That does not mean
a coal car with little coal sufficient
to cover the bottom, but it means a
coal car heaping full and running
over with the black nuggets Of dia-
mond heat that will Kill the frost
king in many homes OF the poor dur
ing the holidays. We knew Lon Frame
in the early days OF his history when
he counted it a full days treat TO pass
along the circus boards and enjoy the
pictures of elephants and the camels.
and the twO-headed calves, with never
thought OF being able to buy tick
ct of admission We knew him when
he wore the homemade cottonade
pants and the hickory shirt, the hat
that went TO seed in the crown adorn-
ed his shapely head and now, by dint
of eXertion, he is able to give to the
poor of the city a full car OF coal We
eXult with him in his prosperity, We
trust that he may be able to increase
the gift to the poor every Christmas
tide from now on as long as he may
live

CREATES MORE OFFICES

Two years ago the legislature spent
a vast amount of time in the consid-
Grafton OF a score OF bills designed to
make changes in the department OF
highways. After all the time that was
wasted, there was nothing done. A.
T.. Ball OF Rogers county is the first
member OF the next legislature to
come forward with a bill for the com
ing session. Mr.. Ball would have the
state highway commissioner ruthless
ly thrown from his office and would
install into office in his stead high
way commissioner for each one OF
the counties. He would have these
county highway commissioners sup
ported out of the state license tax on
autos. the clerk of the county would
collect the tax and keep all auto Ii
conse money in the county where 1t is
collected There are one or two coun-
ties in the state that do not have car
in them, these counties would do well
with highway commissioner, there
are other counties with ten machines
and they would do exceedingly well
with a highway commissioner sun
ported by the license. There are still
other counties that have a hundred
machines, and the tax would amount
to practically nothing in the way of
supporting a highway commissioner.
II Oklahoma is in a mood to elimi-
nate one office and create seventy-sev-
en- more, then Mr.. Ball may hope to
succeed. The Ball bill goes still fur
ther In the way OF creating offices and
provides that a board shall be appoint
ed, whose duty it shall be to appoint
the county highway commissioners.
Looks like every time some fellow
starts to tear up the state highway
department, he has something much
poorer to offer, What the state really
ought to do is to maintain its high
way department and to clothe the Of
ace with some authority and fix
price the commissioner Is to receive
Tor his work and support the depart
ment, and give the officer who holds
the place chance to do something
for the roads of the state.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-12-17
Mr.. Howard said in b

the home. Mr. Howard said in his
campaign over the state he saw WON
en- picking cotton, with their babies
sitting at the end OF the row, and when
people are working that way to get by
under the stress Of the times caused
by the low price Of cotton, he feels
that the state departments should
help in eyeryway they can.
