Washington, June 1.-Some members
of congress have been instrumental in
encouraging anti-registration plots, it
was declared here today.
While the department Of justice has
be p securing the country in its eff
forts to Illustrate such plots, certain
members of congress have been frank
ing out anti-conscription speeches, in
Guiding the one by Champ Clark, it be-
came known today. The intention Of
the members was to explain their votes
on the measure but it really furnished
material for the speeches of plotters.
Although arrests are being made IN
every part of the country, the plotters
being charged with treason, govern
ment agents admit that the propogan-
da is spreading widely.

district of the federal reserve bank
system Of which Oklahoma is part.
This will mean prosperity for every
body in these state"
The above is the substance Of tex
egram which was received this morn
ing by Thomas H. Dwyer from the Lib
erty Loan company Of Kansas City,
an organization composed Of bankers
Of this district Of whose official board
Mr.. Dwyer is a member
This is one of the strongest argu-
ments, outside of patriotic sentiment,
that should appeal to everybody in this
section Of the country to buy bond
Another argument is that even the $50
bonds may be purchased on the Install
ment plan, thus enabling every man
making SIS a week and over to come
to the front.
This announcement was made this
morning by Mr. Dwyer, who was chair-
man of the delegation Of Group One Of
the Oklahoma State Bankers associa-
tion at the meeting recently held at
Kansas City to formulate campaign
plan to float the Liberty Loan bonds.
Mr.. Dwyer and 7. +. Chandler re-
turned yesterday from the Group meet

the object and sense of the Kansas
city meet to the bankers assembled
at Hobart on Decoration Day, when
representatives gathered from fifteen
countiGS in this section to formulate

It was almost the unanimous opinion
of the business men interviewed that
this should not be a time for frivolity
but for serious consideration and that
the day should be spent in manner
befitting the solemn occasion which
prompted it. There should be no great

the Rock Island officials regarding the

Three Ways to Raise Money.
"There are three ways in which a
government may raise money for war
purposes. The first Of these is by tax
alton This method would be burden
some and would require the people Of
this generation to bear the burden. IN
this case they would not be reimbursed
as will be the case with the sale of
bonds. The second is by the issuance
Of paper money-this policy has re-
bounded to the detriment of most all
governments which have been forced
to resort to the practice of issuing
money indiscriminately in times past.
The third way is by issuing bonds
payable after a term Of years, which
will distribute the burden equally up
on the present generation and genera
tions to come.
