VICTIMS APPEAL IN VAIN TO
ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR HELP

According to the OIL Weekly OF
Houston and Dallas the suckers
caught by the bait Of worthless oil
stocks are helpless. On this subject
that paper says;
The attorney generals offices at
Austin are flooded with complaints
from purchasers Of stock in SO called
wildcat concerns, who assert that
their investments are worthless They
insist that Misrepresentation has been
made in many instances in order to
get money.
Unless a violation of the law is
shown the attorney general is IN
able to act, though many irrespon-
sibble oil companies are selling what
appears to be valueless stock The
companies are careful to comply with
the laws, but the laws do not prevent
them from selling inflated stock and
possessing poor holdings-in fact
land with little or no oil value"

IAEl-E BATH II D.
IT is said that when president Taft
l moved into the white house he
found the accommodations utterly in
adequate in one respect There was
not a bath tub in the executive man
sion large enough to hold 500 pound
man and more than quart OF water
at the same time
Accordingly. the ponderous presi-
dent has a tub installed. according to
those who know, which, for size and
white porcelain beauty probably has
no rival in the United States.
Perhaps never since Cleopatra took
her daily dip in the milk Of 500 She
asses has there been such an unusual
and special arrangement for the ablu-
tons OF any chief executive.
When Taft left the white house.
this great and glorious bath tub fell
into disuse. President Wilson, mod
crate and thoughtful in all things.
probably felt that his proportions did
not justify the use Of the peoples
money in filling such an heroic tub
with hot water once a day.
But secretary Of war Baker, who IS
a frequent and welcome guest about
the white house. did not take that
view Of the case. Il is said that when
known Baker grin reached its utter
most limits And when he also found
ex-president Roosevelcs tennis court
out in the back yard, he made a reso-
luton that he would visit Woodrow
often
1t IS said thatfn these hot dog days.
the almost daily relaxation OF the sec
rotary Of war is to play 8 set of ten
mis- on the white house court, and then
take a bath in the Taft bath tub.
Naturally, what was a bath tub for
TAFT is veritable swimming pool for
Baker Thus the secretary Of war Is
saved the trouble and expense Of
trip to. the seaside for natat0rial ex-
ercise, and his services to the nation
are uninterrupted.

On one occasion Bishop w. A. Cand- fer was advocating a more liberal loos- ing of the purse strings, and told his audience that several years ago be sent an article to a paper, in which he said, We pray too loud, and work too little. '' The compositor, consciously or uncon- sciously, perpetrated little joke, for when the article appeared it read, We hray too loud, and work too little." "i let it go at that" said the bishop. "The fact is, I believe the printer was right and I have never venured to correct him."

Where Great Men Begin.

The small fry shine with singulari- ties; great men start from their deep likeness to the race. Emerson remark ed that great men have accepted the society of their contemporaries. the connection of events, and confined themselves to the genius of their age. A taste for smashing and alienation or martyrdom is not necessarily any better than taste for heirlOoms or sentiment or jewelry.-Stark Young in The New Republic.

A NEWS LITTER
 FROM LITTLE ROCK
Important and Interesting News from the Argus State Cap
 itol Correspondent.

In 1913, when Jack Walker became collector of Internal Revenue for Arkansas, he broke all records in the amount of his collections, which amounted to $192,O0O. Then came the war and the war taxes, and in 1917 the amount collected by his office reached the great total of $6,600,000. It was thought that was a con siderable contribution of Ark ansas taxpayers toward the payment of war cost, but this year will double it. MT. Walker calculates that the amount of taxes to be collected for the Government in Arkansas this year will be about SIP, 100000, which is in excess of the amount collected for all the state taxes.
 The annual school election will be held throughout the state on Saturday, May IT. The supplies for the elections were shipped out yesterday by the Department of Education.
 Attention of school boards throughout the state is being called by the State Health Of ficer and the State Superinten- dent to the law passed by the last Legislature requiring all teachers to secure certificates of health before making con- tracts to teach. This is inn portant at this time, since many of the districts are already mak- ing contracts with teachers for next year, and thousands Of teachers are directly affected. The act follows:
 Hereafter all school teach CTS within the state shall pre- sent a certificate from a regu- larly licensed physician or reg ularly constituted Health Off, ficer, stating that said teacher , is free from tuberculosis, which certificate of health shall be presented to the Secretary of the School Board before the contract shall be entered into between the School Board and the teacher making application, and said certificate of health shall bear date not longer than twelve months prior to appli- cation.
 Tt shall be the duty of the Hygienic Laboratory of the State Board of Health to ex- anime free of charge all speci- mems of sputum submitted for examination for this purpose, and it shall be the duty of the county and city health officers to examine free of charge all school teachers applying to their offices for such certifi- cates of health.

PETITIONS ASK
FOR REFERENDUM
STATE MEASURES

Oklahoma City, May 26.-One in
itiative petition has been completed
and three others are in circulation
the purpose peing to submit four
measures enacted at the last session
of the legislature to referendum
vote.
The famous Twelve-A amendment
to the constitution, providing for a
distribution OF the schools shares of
taxes paid by public service cor
poration upon per capita basis in
all counties of the state instead of in
the counties in which the ta1 orgi-
mates, has been completed. The time
for protest has elasped and the mat
ter now centers upon the date at
which 1t shall be referred to the vo-
ters. If the governor does not refer
it at a special election it will go up
on the ballot at the next general
election, 1920 Twelye-A received the
required majority when previously
submitted but the legislature failed
to vitalize it. Corporation Commits
sioner Russell. who has been promot-
, ing the measure. is confident Of it's
adoption
Automobile dealers and others are
circulating petition to refer House
/ Bill 500, passed as a part of the $780,
100000 good road bonds program.
This changes the license tax from q
horsepower basis to the selling price
of the cars as new and was expected
to raise a much greater revenue than
the present law.
Employers are circulating petitions
to refer the workmens compensation
law. This measure was passed in
1915 and amended at the 1919 ses-
sion. Employers assert that the
law as it now stands is not fair to
employer. Organized labor regarded
the strengthening and revision of the
workmen's compensation law as the
most important part of its legislative
+ program.
The other measure sought to be
referred is the "bone dry" law which
was enacted in the form of a resolu-
ton ratifying the national prohibition
amendment.
There had been considerable Of in
/ itiating also the new blue sky law,
which would have made it in opera-
tive for two years. The time for fill
ing the petition has elapsed, however,
and the law, designed to protect the
individual from the INSCRIPTIONS in
vestment promoter will go into effect
about July 1.
