UNIQUE SERIES OF
ADS ARE PLANNED
Tulsa Bank to Make a
Startling Inno-
Vation.
Will Discuss in a Broad
Way the Building of
a Nation.

Beginning in todays issue of The
World one OF the Tulsa banks starts u
series of advertisements that are prob
aDly as unique as were ever conceived.
Bank advertising usually is based on
the tlme-worn admOnishment, save
your money" or this bank is as safe
as the rock Of Gibralter this
series has cast loose frem the usual
and has taken up the broad subject of
nation building, state building and
county building from the standpoint
OF the betterment of the individual.
With war clouds covering most of
the earth's surface, this advertising
campaign Is designed to show Ameri-
cans, and especially Tulsans, some
thing of the opportunities that are
here for those OF us who want to grasp
them, because this is an age in the
United States when the individual
needs OF men and women has become
matter of serious government as well
as social consideration.
In the facts of this condition the
management of this bank evidently
finds great ENCOURAGEMENT for the
future and are buying advertising
space simply to pass their ideas Of
present possibilities on to other folks
of this community.
To advertising men the whole series
is most unusual, for there is not one
word Of what they term selling talk
in its makeup it simply breaths an
air Of good fellowship and tells a
story of the new spirit of America, the
construction of this country through
the building up of the people of the
country by practical means, such as
the new bank reserve law, the norCotic
law, the work of the agriculture de-

SOCIALIST STIRS
GERMAN REICHSTAG
Objection to Military Tac-
ties Called for Heated
Debate.
"BARBARIC" HE SAID
Administration Members
Resented the Violent
DenoUncements.

LONDON, March 2O.-(7:35 p. M
A wild scene occurred in the German
reichstag today during the second
reading of the budget, according to a
Reuter- telegram from Berlin by way
Of Amrterdam, The tumult was
aroused by George LedebOur, a Social
st deputy, who protested against the
military administration trying to Ger
MAMIE portions OF French territory
from which arises on the part of AL
sace-LOrraine desire for French
rule"
The statement was received with an
angry outburst on the part Of the
deputies, some members shouting:
What about the party Of peace?"
Continuing Herr Ledebour said:
Il endorse everything said in praise
OF our brave troops and their COM
manders, but in political performances
the military authorities are not up to
date. | am Mortified to learn that for
every German village burned by the
Russians, three Russian villages shall
be burned"
This is barbarism," shouted DR.,
Karl Liebknecht, another Socialist
deputy, while from the right came
three indignant protests, one member
shouting:
we won permit llle SupIelle Hlll-
itary authorities to be thus attacked"
When order had been temporarily
restored Herr Ledebour continued:
Such a measure strikes not only
at the Russians but at the Poles and
the Lithuanians, on whose co-Opera-
tion we must count"
This statement resulted in a re-
neWed disturbance and cries of fin
sh,' the deputies springing from
their seats and eXcitedly shouting for
order; the vice president of the house
in the meantime had declared that
criticism of the army administration
was not permissible.
Encouraged by members of his own
party, who shouted:
Speak up in the name of your
party " Herr LedebOur continued:
The German policy must be such
that these peoples will see in Ger
many a shield to and a safeguard of

FRANK INGRAHAM
Is UP AGAINST 1T

Court Clerk Frank Ingraham is a
puzzled county official. The legisla-
ture, through the efforts of Repre-
sentative Jim Sykes has made special
dispensation which permits a branch
of the county court to be established
at Broken Arrow. The first term of
court will probably be held In
Broken Arrow in May.
According to the act passed by the
legislature and signed by the gov
ernor, II provides for one deputy court
at a salary of $50 a month.
More than a half dozen applicants
for the position have already been
filed with Clerk of the Courts Frank
lngraham. However. he said yester-
day that 1t would probably be two or
three weeks before he makes the ap-
pointment.

their freedom. As a Socialist and as
a German patriot l believe l ought to
emphasize this. have done this in
the interest OF my beloved fatherland
and Of Europe"
Herr Ledebour continued his speech
IN the face OF loud opposition cries
OF shame"
The leaders OF the various parties
protested against the remarks made
by Deputy Ledebour. Major Ernest
Basserman, a national liberal mem
ber, said
I'VE regret the necessity for such
reprtsals, but If the Russians burn on
all sides and violate women, shall we
consider that this does not demand
such action from our military author
tiles as will put stop to the inhu-
man warfare waged by the Russians"
Herr Gretchen of the Centre party
said that If the military authorities
were compelled, in view of the Rus
slams actions, to take the severest
reprisals in the shape of measures
which are permissible under interna-
tional law, they should not be him
dered by the representatives of the
people
Philipp Schcidemann, socialist
deputy, declared in the name Of his
party that Herr Ledebour was in
yited to speak only on the language Of
the question; his other remarks were
made on his own account and he
alone bears the responsibility for
them"
ttteranCcS Unconstitutional
Minister of the Interior Delbrueck
asserted that he would not be worthy
in the present situation If he replied
TO Herr Ledcbour's speech.
For every one present today" de-
clared the minister, this hour will be
among his bitterest memories. Herr
LedebOurs criticism is unconstitu-
tional and insulting in form and is di-
rected against the most honored army
leader.
The war has fought us that we are
materially and morally richer than we
believed and that the German father
land is a holy treasure for every Ger
man, without consideration Of religion
or party. Matters which divided us in
| times of peace now have been set aside
In this imperishable success, which Of
fers new proof to the enemy of the
economic and moral inyincibility of

The result Of the loan is splendid
news, Reports from all quarters show

AMENDMENTS TO A
VOTE OF PEOPLE

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 20.
All constitutional amendments
proposed by resolutions passed
at this session of the legislature
will be submitted to a vote OF
the people at special election TO
be held on the date of the gen
eral primary on the second
Tuesday in August 1916, If tho
senate acts favorably on house
concurrent resolution adopted by
the house today
The resolution was introduced
by Speaker McCrory and Is said
to represent the wishes of the
governor Representative j. II.
Reigner, defender Of the consti-
tuition, objected to the words
Especial election" in the resolu-
tion, contending that they would
necessitate the proposed amend
ments receiving only a majority
of the votes cast on the amend
ments. whereas if these words
were left out no amendment
could be adopted without ma
jority Of all the votes cast III
the primary election. His motion
TO strike out the words, how
eyer. was voted down by a big
majority.
Unless q resolution Of this kind
is passed by the legislature the
amendments, most of which en-
body the pet ideas Of Governor
Williams, will have to be sub
mitted at the general election in
November, 1916, in which event,
past history proves, they would
stand a slim chance of being
adopted, as only u small major
ity Of the electors vote on consti-
tutional amendments in a general
election.
A majority Of the proposed
amendments are in line with the
governors court reform plans.

cepted the conference report on the
workmens compensation act, 1t be-
came apparent today that the legisla-
ture will not adjourn next Monday at
noon, as has been planned, but that

ference. II Is understood among the

olution will be amended Monday fore
noon so as to make the date Tues
day at noon.
The attorney-gene has ruled that
the revenue bill must be signed by
the governor five days before ad-
iournment Of the legislature. The IN

income tax measure Is to become a
law.
The compensation act was placed on
final roll call in both houses this after
noon and will be transmitted to the
governor Monday. Friends OF the

perfect and would have to be amended
literally by future legislatures. Rep
resentatiyes Of the labor interests Of
the state say that the bill in its pres
ent form favOrs the employers and
Insurance companies and does not pre-
vent litigation over claims arising out
OF personal injuries sustained. AT
any rate, II Is "a wOrkman's compen-
sation act. and the first legislation of
the kind to be adopted in oklahoma.

relating TO the Incorporation of mu-
tual indemnity associations TO do the
business Of indemnifying the owners
