CHILD LABOR BILL
EXC|TES A RUMPUS
Presidents Pet Measure
Leaks in During the
Naval Debate.

X7AsITINGToN, July 21.-The
w child labor bill which President
Wilson is urging for passage before
adjournment of congress got into the
naval bill debate in the senate today
when Senator Hardwick of Georgia
charged that it evidently was the pur-
pose of the Republicans of the senate
to play party politics with this great
measure. He called attention to Re-
publican Leader Gallinger's state
ment that Republican senators were
eager for its early passage.
Il had no such purpose" Senator
Gallinger declared. II made the
statement because the people of the
country want the bill passed"
Senator Hardwic declared the
measure was unconstitutional and re-
called that Senator Gallinger had
said so last February. Mr. Gallinger
replied he still had doubt about its
constitutionality, but was willing to
vote for 1t and leave the question to
the courts.
Much Mind Changing.
There has been great deal of
change of mind about the constitu-
tionalty of this bill" said Senator
Borah, Republican. The leader of
tHe otHdtoi y oTU PoilJ hd1
changed his mind on that"
who is that?" asked Senator
Hardwick, arousing laughter from his
colleagues.
"1'he president of the United
States" Senator Borah replied. "in
one of his books Woodrow Wilson
said such legislation was unconstitu-
tional."
well, his book was right" Senator
Hardwick asserted.
Senator Porah sought a unanimous
consent agreement TO take up the
child labor bill as soon as appropria-
tions are concluded. with debate lin
tied to IL hours on each sile. Con-
sideration of the proposal was blocked
by Senator Swanson, who insisted on
proceeding with the naval bill.

Unlimited Financial Aid
Opened up to Oil Men
of Oklahoma.
MILLIONS CAN BE
BORROWED ON OIL
Trustees VIII Issue Certifi-
Gates to Owner of the
Liquid.

RUDE oil in tankage has been
~ recognized by the federal re-
serve banks of the United States and,
beginning today, unlimited financial
resources will be opened up to the
oil men of Tulsa and vicinity.
This means that in the future oil
in tankage will have the same stand
ing in the financial world as cotton
or kafir corn in IA government ware
house. Heretofore it has been i'm
possible for producers to secure
large loans on oil in tankage. The
extent of their credit has been linn
tied to the small amounts their local
bankers cared to loan on first mort
cages.
A representative of the Exchange
National bank left last night for
Kansas City to compete arrange
ments with the federal reserve bank
in that city for handling one local
oil deal involving close 81 O00 600 and
several transactions of a minor ma
ture.
Appoints a Trustee.
Under the recognition given the oil
industry by federal reserve officials
any person owning oil in tonkaee NAV
appoint a trustee. The trustee wi

and money can be obtained on them
from the federal reserve b MI in
Kansas City oc elsewhere to almost
the full market value of the oil The
loans will be handled through the To-
cal national banks, all of which. OF
course, are branches of the Kansas
Citv reserve bank
The arrangements to this end
were completed yesterday following
an investigation made a few days
ago by the attorney for the Kansas
City Federal Reserve bank, who
came to Tulsa at the request of local
national banks. 1t is understood
that one companv ie now cons1r1m9t-
ing a deal under the terms Of this
allowance whereby they will pur'
chase SO IS o0N-h1r~1 tanks of oil
from another company.
Far-Rcaching Effect.
''The action of the federal reserve
bank in recognizing oil in tankage as
a tangible asset is a precedent that
will be far-reaching in its effect
said a prominent local banker last
night at means that the oil in
dustry, instead of being the wildcat
proposition that some persons con
slider it to be, is a safe, solid and
legitimate business, and on exactly
the same footing as the broom corn
cotton or grain industries. 1t is the
biggest thing, financially speaking
that ever happened to Tulsa. The
possibilities are unlimited. I would
not be at all surprised to see the
government issuing oil certificates il
a short time. 1t would not surprise
me in the least IL they would plac,

PUT BARS BEFORE
ABSENTEE VOTERS
State Election Board Will
Issue Instructions to
County Bodies.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 21.-The
state election board will issue in
structions to the county election
boards throughout the state not to al
low absentee voters to vote in the
primary election. The board will fol-
low strictly the ruling of the at
torney-general, rendered several days
ago. The absentee voter Will be al
lowed to exercise the privilege at the
general election in November. but
that is all.
John II. Wright, member of the
lower house of the legislature. said to-
day that in his opinion the Legislature
thought of nothing but the general
election in passing the law allowing
absence voters to vote. "The primary
election was not mentioned in any OF
the discussions on the mater, saau
Mr.. Wright. Since the matter was
put up to the attorney general and
his opinion given, number express
ing themselves thought it would be un-
fair to allow the travelling men to vote
in the general election and deny them
the same privilege at the primary,
believing they would have as much IN
terest in who is nominated for the
office as they would in voting for the
candidate afterwards.
Will Issue Instructions.
But the state election board Will
issue instructions according to the
attorney-general's opinion. If such a
law does not meet with the entire
satisfaction of those whom 1t affects
il is possible to amend it at the next
legislature. and efforts will probably
to made to do this. Amending the
election laws has been part of the
legislatures work at every session for
the past several years, and it Is con-
sidered easy to make the changes.
The absentee voter law was intended
to benefit the travelling man or the
business man whom business condi-
tions would compel to be away from
home on election day. 1t is argued
that being allowed to vote in the final
election in November would be a
sufficient recognition of his interests
and that generally he is not much in
terested in who the nominee is.

diers and citizens have been killed in
Mexico by Mexican soldiers. Ame-l-

There is a strong disposition on the

shoulders Of former President Taft.
That wont do at all. II anybody kept

He went through two Mexican revo-

against Diaz and the revolution
against Madero. American lives were
safe in Mexico during that time. No
Mexican cities were seized by Amerl-
cans and, no armed Mexicans invaded
the United States while Mr.. Taft was
in the White House. He put an en-
tbargo on arms so that American
weapons would not be sent across the
boundary, and he refused to interfere
in Mexican affairs. When he left Of

Americans were safe in Mexico. Since

tory OF the State" meaning the II
cent State tax imposed for the last
fiscal year. The highest direct State
z tar was levied was during the last
Democratic administration, which was
! 25 cents. The Republicans when they
i came into power had TO continue this
5 rate for a few years TO meet the de-
feits left BY the preceding improY'-
dent Democratic administrations. So
soon as these delinQuencies were pro-
Svided for the Republican party, be-
sides inaugurating great constructive
policies and increasing the efficiency
$of State government and the States

did reduce the State tax rate. 1t re-

development Of the preferential tarln

There was a political rather than an

not suffer through these preferences.
Canadian statesmen worked out the

TO assert her economic status praclc-
