HEAVY LOSS FOR OsAGES.
If Secretary Lane Stands by His Re.
cent Ruling,

Oklahoma City.-If the secretary OF
the interior backs up his ruling barring
oil and gas development on vast
portion of Usage Indian land, mem,
hers of the Usage tribe will sustain
great financial loss, in the opinion OF
George c. Tinker. secretary of the
Usage council, who is in Oklahoma
City on tribal business.
"A resolution to memorabilia the de.
partment of the interior to change the
ruling so as to permit immediate &c
velopment of the land, believed to
contain the most valuable OIL gas and
othe mineral deposits sof any land ir
the state, was introduced in the legis

tribe in bonuses by operators, in addi
ttion to royalties the tribe would re

SCHOOL BOND VOTED DOWN
Oklahoma City Rsjests 100000 lssus
for. Junior High System.

Oklahoma City.-It cost the city
school system little more than 81
cents a vote to test public sentiment
on the $650,000 junior high school
bond issue. A total Of 1877 votes
we're cast, 1854 favoring the issue and
1928 against. The-cost Of the election
was $1,000
Now that the proposition advocat-
cd by the board Of education and Supt.
J. A. Whiteford for relief of crowded
school conditions has failed, the next
step is to devise some substitute
method.
Schools will have to run on half
day sessions mex. year, Mr.. Whiteford
says, unless something is done. The
possibility of the boards calling an
other election for a sum smaller than
the one voted on last week for the
building of additional ward schools
was being discussed. If such action 1,
taken the election will come on March
20 with the regular city election, max
ing the expense negligible.

WHO'S ABSURD?

The Republican referred to wha
1t calls the absurdity" of our arti
Gle on "Incidentals.'' IL says the
typewriters were bought Ito provid,
a plain and legible record" and "tc
save the county money in the econo
my of book space" Well, We have
been fortunate enough to always
have clerks that can write, and usu.
ally the deputies write legibly. Then
the paper. How economical and
thoughtful of the court. The record
books are paid for by the State, not
the county, and besides there is not
enough saved in books to pay the re-
pairs on the typewriters which the
county has been paying. If it's such
a saving, it is remarkable that the
court has not bought a couple for
the Circuit Clerk and one for the
County Judge.
Then that safe. My! my! 1t
says the assessment costs the county
3 $1,000 and the Sheriff's book 5000.
You know, or ought to know, the
county pays only half this expense;
and besides, brother. don't you know
the assessment lists and books are
kept in the County Clerks and not
the Sheriff's office? And do you not
know also these records are not kept
in the safe and could not be so kept?
The Sheriff's tax books are kept in
his office, but they could not be put
in a safe three times as large as the
one purchased by the court. We'll
bet two bits to a 'three-for" that
you can't put the tax book of Sim
the other thirty three in the county.
We are glad you have at last de-
cided to defend the Fiscal Court, and
we hope you will keep it up until
the election. The voters will, by
that time, be prepared to distinguish
between necessities and Injuries for
which their money has been spent;
and whether it was all for the bene-
fit of the county, or a good part for
the benefit of Republican officehold-
crs.

EFFECT OF BIG LOAN.

The fact that the United States is
lending seven billion dollars to the
Allies does not mean so much mon
ey, or in fact any part of it, will be
sent abroad or taken out OF the
channels Of trade in this country.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
given or will give checks totaling
this amount which will be placed in
American banks to the credit of the
borrowing nations, England, France
and Italy. These governments will
buy here in the United States sup
plies of various kinds, giving checks
for same against these deposits un-
til they are exhausted.
To raise the funds this govern
ment is selling bonds on which three
and one-half per cent. interest ie
paid-eXactly the same as charged
the borrowing nations on the loan.
The effect is the same as if the
United States should borrow direct
ly from banks, corporations, firms
and individuals. this amount of
money and pay it over to the Amer
lean manufacturers and producers
in exchange for supplies, and then
should sell these supplies to the al
lies on credit. taking their bonds as
security. So that one class of our
people furnish the money to pay an
other class for their products. the
government superintends the deal,
protects the creditors purchasers of
bonds by its own pledge, and pro-
tects itself by holding the bonds of
the nations that buy our stuff.
