OCTOBER 9TH IS
PROCLAIMED FIRE
PREVENTION DAY
Governor Robertson Issues
Official Proclamation
Naming Saturday as
Safety First Day
COOPERATION ASKED
OKLAHOMA PAYERS OF INSUR-
ANCE ARE REQUESTED TO
HELP REDUCE RISK LOSS
FROM FIERY FTEND
COOPERATION ASKED
Proclamation

The needless destruction Of prop
erty and life by fire presents prob
lem for our deliberation that may
well challenge the best thought and
effort Of every good citizen. When
We are reminded that the people OF
Oklahoma pay about S12,000,0O0 an
nually in fire insurance premiums,
something like s1,000,OO0 each month,
or upwards of $4,000 for each day
in the year, We can then comprehend
how heavily we are taxed to take
care of our fire waste. And when
we reflect on the loss Of life and the
frightful injuries that are sustained
annually in this flaming furnace. We
can then realize the humane signifi-
canoe of these sacrifices. The toll is
tremendous, and when we consider
that it is largely self-imposed there
is a reproach involved in it that we
cannot very well explain or excuse.
II is stated on the highest author
ity that as much as seventy-five
per cent of our fire loss may be
avoided by the exercise of just ordi,
nary care and precaution on the part
OF each individual citizen, and we
know that if this waste is reduced in
any given percentage that we will
be rewarded by a corresponding re-
duction in insurance charges. and,
moreover. there will be less loss 0f
life and fewer of these sad injuries
that are always an incident in the
fire menace. II would appear. then,
that We have TIE solution of this
problem in our own hands, that un-
necessary fire waste is due to our
own carelessness and Indifference, and
that relief must come, If at all, from
n change in the bent or inclination Of
our own minds. II is difficult to
change the habits of people, but
much can be accomplished by proper
and persistent educational endeavor,
and herein lies tse road Of opportu-
nifty. We are a progressive people,
and il is my hope and belief that we
can make progress in this undertake
ing If we but bend our will to the
task.
The president OF the United States
has issued n proclamation on thlS
subject, and the people Of all the
states are recommending this cam
paign of education on the anniversary
of the Chicago fire a fitting day
TO remind us of the wrath Of the fire
demon, and | am very glad To join
in the great movement.
Therefore, | hereby designate sat

The private individuals availing them

however. are required to put into the
business 50 for every one they borrow
from the government.
As part of the campaign to keep
the American flag flying on the seas
the act directs the President to abro-
gate such treaties with foreign
nations as would prevent the United
States from levying discriminating
duties or tonnage taxes for the bene-
fit. of the American carrying trade.
The new law seeks to- deal with the
matter Of marine insurance; SO that
the American marine insurance COM
panies may become strong enough to
handle the great bulk of the hull and
cargo insurance from these ports.
The American companies are given
power to pool their insurance. If the
American companies, however, fail to
obtain the necessary results, then the
government. it is said, will enter into
this business itself. The act also
strengthens some of the provisions OF
the so-called seaman's act, which was
designed to bring the wages of the
seamen of foreign vessels competing
