Report is Denied.

1t is probable that the information
published in this column yesterday
to the effect that the well of the Ma
tional Oil & Development Company in
section 27-2s-7w in Stephens county
was being abandoned, is not true. A
later report states that the National
reached a depth of 1900 feet and is still
at work on the we'll. At this partic-
ular time the contractors have a fish
ing job on hand, and the drawing of
the casing probably led to the report
that the well was being abandoned,

WOULD NOT
ABOLISH THE
COUNTY COURT
PREME COURT SETS FORTH
REASONS FOR KEEPING CouN-
TY COURT WITH THE PEOPLE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May Q. -
"Will the people strike down one of
the courts nearest to them because it
may be said that superior court
may have more dignity" inquiries
w. NJ. Franklin, clerk of the Supreme
Court, in his argument for the pub
licity pamphlet against adopting the
amendment to the Constitution that
would abolish the County Courts and
merge their duties in the District
Courts.
Then Mr.. Franklin shows why the
County Courts should not be abolish
ed, as proposed. His argument is fill
ed by authority of members of the
Senate who voted against submitting
the amendment Mr. Franklin points
out that to abolish the County Courts
would be to jeopardi2e land titles in
the east side, saying:
.'In the enabling act for this state,
Congress reserved the power to legis-
late respecting the Indians and their
property. Sec. % of the act of Con-
gress of April 26, 1906, as amended
by Sec. s of the act of May 81, 1908,
provides that certain wills of full
blood Indians devising real estate
shall not be valid unless aclnowl-
edged before and approved by a
Judge of the United States Commits
sioners. 'or Judge of County
Court of the State of Oklahoma If
the County Courts are abolished, the
powers specially delegated to them
by Congress can not be transferred
by the Legislative power of the State
for Congress acted within its reserv-
ed rights and powers delegated by 1t
can not be altered by a different SOW
ereignty If the proposed proposition
is adopted, other serious questions
will arise that will make more com
plicated and uncertain Indian land
titles, but, as shown above, this would
not be the most vicious result of the
proposed constitutional amendment
Further argument is made against
the resolution being adopted as an
amendment to the Constitution, which
is in part as follows:
Questions Economy Argument.
"While it is argued that the pur-
pose of the proposed amendment is
efficiency and economy, let us see
if facts Justify such conclusion or
whether the result that will likely
obtain in case of the adoption Of the
proposed amendment will work for
the common good
| ut is admitted in the argument in
| favor of the adoption of the proposed
amendment that if the amendment is
adopted, necessarily more District
Court districts would have to be es-
| tablished by the Legislature. The
salary of the additional District
Judges would be larger than the sal
aries paid to County Judge and
each District Judge is allowed by
law a stenographer who receives a
salary that almost equals the salary
paid to some of the County Judges.
There are twelve jurors required for
the District Courts and only six re-
quired for County Courts. A clerk
would be appointed to take the place
of the County Judge in certain mat
ters. He would be given judicial pow
ers and should have the ability that
would command the salary that a
County Judge gets. Where would the
saving be?

Self-Taxation in Petrograd.

The Jewish relief committee has
resolved to introduce a general self
taxation of Jews. This method has
welded in Moscow alone 100000
roubles per month. The same sys-
tenn is now to be carried out in
Petrograd, where so far, the sub
scriptions have been raised only
from the few very rich people and
the large numbers of the poor,
whilst the middle class and the pro-
fessiona1 class have escaped. The
Jews have now been divided accord
ing to professions into separate cor
porations, and the committee of each
corporation is responsible for the
taxes of it's members to the amount
Of per cent of the monthly budget.
There have thus been formed associ-
atoms of Jewish doctors, dentists,
engineers, artisans, bank officials,
LAWYERS, journalists and artists.

said, in part:

COTTON GROWERS
URGED TO SAVE SEED.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 13.-Be-
cause OF unusual conditions in the
South and the markets OF the world.
which are operating to reduce mate
rally the usual autumn supply OF cot
ton seed, cotton growers are urged by
the United States department of az.
riculture to save enough OF their best
seed to meet all their planting needs
next spring. II is recommended that
In estimating the supply which will be
needed allowance be made for posi-
bic replanting requirements 1t is al
so suggested that farmers having ex
ceptionally good seed may find it ad
vantageous TO save more than enough
TO FIJI their own needs, since there
should be a ready sale for the surplus
In the spring TO other patlners.
Cotton growers should not bewill-
ing, because OF the seed shortage. to
take the first supply available with.
out regard to ks quality, but should
willingly pay an increased price for
the seed OF types OF proven worth.
Farmers having a sufficient supply of
unginned seed OF desirable quality
should see that precautions are taken
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1916-11-13

to avoid contamination by mixture
with worthless seed during ginning.
II may be we'll to save such seed cot
ton until near the close of the ginning
season, when arrangements for espe-
cially careful ginning may be made.
The primary factor in the cotton
seed shortage, It is shown by reports
to the department of agriculture, is
the shortage OF the cotton crop in
most OF the Southern states, due to
drouth. floods and boil weevil infes-
tation. The shortage is marked in all
the cotton producing states except
Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Ar
kansas. Oklahoma and Texas, and is
appreciable in some OF those states.
The seed produced is rapidly passing
TO the mills for cruising. since the
price offered per ton is approximately
twice as high as during normal years
