GOVT COST
is SHOWN
BY CENSUS

Washington, Oct THE director of
the federal census bureau has prepar-
ed and the copy is now in the hands
Of the printer, report on the per
capita cost of state government for
the year 1918.
A comparison is of more than ordin-
airy interest to the people of 0klaho-
ma, because it shows that Oklahoma
is one of the most cheaply governed
states in the Union
1t costs Arkansas two cents piece
less for state government than it does
Oklahoma, but Oklahoma has up-to-
date educational institutions, far in
excess of Arkansas and equal to those
of any other state.
The census bureau shows that the
per capita cost of state government in
Oklahoma for 1913 was $1S9, while up
in Republican Minnesota and Montana
the cost was $6.66 per capita in each
state 1t cost Iowa $3.50 per capita;
New York s693; Missouri 1927; Ne
braska $3.50, and Kansas 1926. These
figures are of interest chiefly because
they show in actual dollars and cents
just how much less state government
is costing in Oklahoma than in many
of her sister states.

TWO BOYS
IN TROUBLE

Their desire to derive the maximum
amount of money possible out of a
minimum number OF checks proved
the drownfall of George Picket and
Carl Wayne yesterday, when they rails
ed check for 80 to s95, cashed the
check at the First National bank,
Minco. and were well on their way
when the deal was discovered.
The boys were here from Arkansas
and had worked six days for Richard
Lang, near Minco. Mr.. Lang gave
each q check for 49, One of the checks
they raised to $95 but allowed the
other to remain as originally written.
When the checks were presented at
the Minco bank, the cashier asked how
it happened that one was for 80 while
theo ther was for S95 They replied
that one of the boys had been work
ing there all summer. So plausible

resemble the parts that the check was
cashed.
After they were gone the cashier
pondered the proposition and decided
to make an investigation. He called
Mr.. Lang over the phone and asked
concerning the amounts of the checks,
receiving the information that both
were made out in the same amounts,
5000
There being no city marshal or dep
uty sheriff at Minco at this particular
time, Ed Bond of the bank corralled q
man or two and started in hot pursuit.
The chase led through corn field and
across country, but the lads were over
taken They had divided the money
equally between them.
They are now in the Grady county
Jail here and are ready to plead guilty
and take what is coming to them.

La"ton Gives Enthusiastic Greeting

Squirely Meets All Issues
Raised by Opponents
Special to the Daily Express.


Lawton, Okla. Oct. 7.--All Comanche
county, it seemed. gathered here last
nlght to do honor to Judge Williams
democratic nominee for governor.
Judge Williams spoke in the Air
dome and it was crowded to full fac
pacity- The candidate addressed him
self at length to one of the questions
uppermost in his own mind, state aid

farm products.

great many years." he said, "and the
present unhappy situation of the cot

AZ Snyder Tuesday afternoon, the
candidate emphasized his proposal to
stand strictly for enforcement of the
laws. He insisted that any organized
subdivision of society must follow the
mandates of the law if it expects to
make progress.
Notwithstanding ms vigorous cam.
paign, Mr.. Williams was in good voice
last night and showed no signs Of
fatigue. Always logical speaker.
many contended that the address of
Judge Williams last night was the
best they had ever heard him deliver.
He spoke earnestly and forcefuliy Tor
over an hour and at many stages Of
his remarks was interrupted by hearty
applause. He showed no disposition
to evade any Of the issues which are
being made part of the campaign by
Republicans, but met them all square
ly and defended his party with logi-
cal reasoning and comparison with the
methods pursued by the Republican
machine in territorial days.
The speaker dwelt at length upon
the constructive record of the party
since statehood and praised the con-
stitution whose constructive princi-
pies had been embodied in other state
constitutions as representing the in
terests Of the people He contended
that opposing parties were no longer
basing their contentious upon Okla
homa laws but devoting time to call
ing attention to an occasional official
who had gone wrong. He said that
the Democrats of Oklahoma claimed to
be no more discerning than Christ, and
of the twelve disciples of Christ one
had proven a traitor, one had denied
and one had doubted That the Demo
cratic party would simply set the trait
ors, the deniers and the doubters
aside.
The speaker was heartily applauded
when he stated his idea OF conducting
the affairs of state and the policies he
would pursue were he elected gov
ernor, on the iron clad idea of bust
ness. The successful banker and the
merchant have in mind at all times
IDEAS of economy, as well as efficiency
and so should those whom the people
, have chosen to conduct the great bus
mess of state. If elected governor
Mr.. Williams said that officials would
adapt themselves to the interests of
the state and not the affairs of state
be adopted to the interests or conven-
ience of the officials.
| The address was most able and
logical one and the large audience
heard it to the close.
