democratic Press Bureau
In the general broadside of criticism
leveled by the Oklahoma City Times
at the present state administration
the state health department comes
in for its share. With mock sincerity,
this ambitious censor Of everything
democratic. proceeds to wall over the
enormous extravaganza and expense
imposed upon the people by the state
health department and the inspectors
which the last legislature provided for
in carrying out the work of that de-
partment. The facts are, that the
state health department now has only
six inspectors at work, while the law
permits them to put on eight, but they
are trying to do the work with six.
Two of these inspectors are drug in
spectors, regular druggists, and the
other four are pure food inspectors.
1t is the duty of these pure food in
spectors also to inspect hotels res
taurants. grocery stores, fruit markets
and meat markets and all places where
food and meat are sold. 1t is also
the duty of the drug inspectors to in
spect every drug store in the state
and to see that it is a properly con-
Quoted drug store. This department
is organized to preserve the health of
the people and to promote necessary
sanitary conditions. Had this volun-
tary critic desired or been willing to
tell all the truth, it would have stated
that the health department is prac-
tically self sustaining under the new
law, and that for great many of the
inspections and examinations it is COM
PEELED to make, it receives a specific
fee, and the department will be prac-
tically no expense to the taxpayers
when all the provisions of the law are
successfully carried out
The complaint that this department
has been removed to Guthrie probably
exposes the fly in the ointment, and
suggests at least that the criticism
of the health department was engen-
dered by a spirit of local jealousy,
Some people in the present capital will
never forgive Guthrie for having been
at one time the seat of government in
Oklahoma, but it seems contemplate
that newspaper which confesses that
it is really great" should attack a
state department and attempt to ere
ate prejudice against it with no higher
apparent motive

COMPENSATION LAW HAS
NO RATE FOR COAL MINERS

Oklahoma City, Aug. 19.-Many con-
ferences have been held between the
coal mine operators Of Oklahoma and
the state industrial commission over
the workmen's compensation law, and
there has been little gained in the way
of results. Coal mines are included
in the hazardous employnents under
the law, and yet the rating bureau
has made no rate for this sort of
risk deemng it too hazardous for
the venture. The consequences would
be that if the coal mines shall be
included the operating companies will
have to arrange to carry insurance OF
their own or give bond to the indus
trial commission for protection o.
their employees.
1T has been practically decided by
the coal companies that they will no
do this, but that they VII test the
validity of the law under the decision
of the supreme court in the fedora
agency aspect of cases coming undel
the terms of leases of indian lands
Practically all the coal mines in Okla
! homa are on Indian leases and are be
lieyed by the operators 20 come with
in the rule in the Choctaw coal case
wherein the state laws affecting theiI
interests were declared 20 be in con
nict with the federal constitution an'
void.
Judge A. A. Mcdonald, chairman
of the industrial commission, said tina
the coal mining companies are ar
ranging their bonds and otherwise
preparing to comply with the law
and it is his understands that thei
/ intention is to carry the first cast
that comes up for compensation t

was third largest IN the United
States and in anticipation of bum
per crop, Oklahoma farmers bought
binders lavishly.
Field reports of county agricultural
agents to State Agent w. d. Bentley
at the A. & NJ college at Saltwater,
indicate the largest purchases Of bind
ers in Oklahoma for maay years. A
few paragraphs from agents reports
tell the story.
Many Machines Sold.
The paragraphs follow:
J. f. Neeley, Johnston county June
2G.-"Mr. Sparks, the hardware man
at Mill Creek informs me that he had
sold thiry-fve binders within the
past few days"
Ben Crawford, Jackson county, May
Zone machine firm told Inc there
had been eighty new haryesters sold
in Eldorado this season to date"
o. c. Cooper, Grady county, May
"Menter BROTHERS, hardware deal
ers at Pocasset, said they would have
ffty-three binders all set up one day
this week. These binders are all
sold"
Russell c. Moore, Pottawatomi,
county, June 2G.-"There have beer
more than 200 binders sold in thh
county this year"
And so the list goes on. 1t will b,
noted that in most instances QuoteC
above the purchases wece from ;
single marketing center and, in som,
cases, from a single dealer. In som,
of the wheat belt counties the numbe
of new binders purchased woulC
doubtless run into hundreds The to
tai for the state would be staggering
if available. When it is remembered
that, modern binder costs in tn,
neighborhood of $16O, the tribut
which Oklahoma is annually payiui
to the harvesting companies can b.
better appreciated.
The question is, "Wh1t is to be
come of these expensive wheat hal
vesters
Are the farmers of Oklahoma &c
ing to let them remain in the field
to warp with the sun and rot wit
the rains? II so, the same binder
will need to be replaced in a year o
two, perhaps next season.

without avail. With her when the end
