'' p'btlon uNhlnE 1Ol inc cnangc
of the county scat to Mound City was
presented TO the County Court on
Monday Of this week, and the election
has been called. A county seat fight
is always u calamity. II arouscs Bit
teness and enmitics that last for
years. But since the issue has been
forced on the people Of the county Il
must be met.
In this question as in all others, the
course Of The Leader Is determined By
what II considers for the best inter.
csts Of its readers and patrons. The
question Is, will those interests be
best served by moving the county seat
TO Mound City, or by leaving II where
II is?
In the discussion of this question
one thing must he conceded at the
start, and this Is that the removal Of
the county seat will compel the buldl-
ing of n new court house and Jail. and
at present prices the Building of u
new court house and Jail sucn as the
county should have, II new one h
to be built, would cost from $500, 900 To
S35O,O0O, and before the bonds could
be retired II would amount TO $780,
900, and the property owners of Craig
and its vicinity will have to bear its
proportion
Now what advantage will our peo-
pie reap 10 repay them for the eN-
pcnditure they are asked to make
Unless We aIc to be benefited by the
change there is no reason why We
should vote the expense upon our
selves that the change would neees-
sarily entail.
The advocates OF Mound City, urge
various reason why the change
should be made. some with CLAM
mering Of truth, others absolutely
false. One reason they are urging u
that the present courthouse Is old and
dilapidatcd. about ready TO fall down,
and that the records Of the county are
poorly protected and in danger of fire
and otherw sc.
No one knows better than those
who are circulating this report that II
Is absolutely false. The old county
courthouse rs II stands today Is sub
stantial, in good condition, aud good
for many years. Nine years ago the
people Of oregon and vicinity raised
the sum OF ten thousand dollars ana
presented il to the county court for the
purpose of building "eeded additions
and improvements to the courthouse
With this money the courthouse was
made thoroughly modern, steam
heating plant and water system were
installed, new jury and witness rooms
were built, additional vault room was
added, new quarters for the Probate
Court and the county court were con
structed, tile floor was laid in the
hall, metal ceilings put in all over the
building, and the building put in first
class repair. All this was done out of
the money donated by the people OF
Oregon and vicinity, and more than
still lies in the treasury unexpended.

Controllers Report
Shows Great Increase

Washington.-The resources of ma
tional banks during the last 20 years
increased from $4,5OO,OOO,OO0 to $22,-
500,O00,0O0, showing remarkable
growth of the country, as outlined in
a statement Wednesday issued by the
controller of the currency, and in this
growth the Southwest has made re-
markable strides.
The resources of the national banks
in Texas and Oklahoma are nearly as
great as the total resources of all ma
tional banks in the New England and
Eastern states, excepting New York,
as they stood twenty years ago. The
controllers statement shows that ma
tional banks of Virginia, Texas and
Oklahoma have greater assets than the
combined resources of all the national
banks in the states of New York, Hi
nois and California, including the met
ropolitan cities. National banks in
Southern states, including Maryland,
District of Columbia and Oklahoma
have more resources today than all
the banks in the United States had in
1899.
Among the largest actual increases
as shown by the statement are that
of 1857, 722,OOO, or 6,527 per cent for
Oklahoma, and SS69,611, 900, or 1913
per cent for Texas. Arkansas increas-
ed 100 per cent, or $79,116,OOO.

Governor Calls Special
Harris County Elections

Austin, Tex.-Governor Hobby Fri
day issued his proclamation calling
special elections in Harris County on
March 4 to fill three vacancies in the
Fifteenth representative district and
also in the Sixteenth senatorial dis
trict, composed of Harris, Fort Bend
and Waller counties. The last is to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of R. M. Johnston, who became
chairman of the prison commission.
Representatives Lynch Davidson and
Charles Murphy resigned to make the
race for the senate to succeed Colonel
Johnston.
The third member who resigned is
Norman G. Kittrell, Jr. Thus only one
of the original four representatives
elected in Harris County remains in
the house.
Calling special elections to fill va
cancies does not necessarily indicate
a special session of the legislature, as
the law requires the governor to issue
call for such elections within 20
days after the vacancy occurs; other
wise returning officers must call such
elections. Thirty days notice of cleo
ton must be given.
