came as a revelation to his hear

proposition that the Irish question
was religious issue and showed
where II has always been the policy
OF England to paint her enemies in
the backest colors and inject the
question of religion so that she could
divide the forces of the opposition.
He brought his hearers to their
feet when he said IF the Irish ques-
tion is a religious question, how
does 1t come about that England
uses the self same rope to hang

hang a Catholic Irishman who is
struggling against OPPRESSION
Upon his arrival in the city We'd
nesday, Mr.. Golden was waited on
by a committee of local Irishmen
headed up by DR.. Edward Carr. A
dinner was rendered the distin-
guished Celt at the Geronimo where
DR.. w. S. Downey extended to him
a welcome in the name of the citi-
zens of Chckasha. This is Mr..
Golden's last talk in Oklahoma
where he has been touring for the
past week.

Western Clubs to
Prevent Gambling

The Western Association took a
long step toward removing ball play
ors from the influence OF gambler
when during the meeting OF the
league magnatcs In Tulsa II adopted
a bylaw prohibiting players In the
association from engaging In anna
teur or semi.profosslonal games dur
ing the championship season. Tho
penalty for a violation OF the rule IL
$500 fine on tho club or manager
and n ton days suspension without
pay OF the player
This Is ono OF tho best pieces
OF legislation ever enacted for the
protection OF the, young players"
one OF the club owners stated at
the meeting. Though a lot OF them
Will think at first that II Is against
them. this big money that IL offered
players is always paid by clique
that has bet heavily on the game
and this puts the players In contact
with the gamblers at the start OF
their career and makes them easy
to approach later
The national association has
shown this spring that II intends to
strictly enforce It's ruling against
contract jumpers and ineligible
players. A player may become In.
eligible for organized baseball by
playing with ineligible players and
rs the independents are out at all

might play one game and find that
he has earned a flve.year suspen-
sion. The bylaw adopted will pre-.
vent anything like this. at least dur.

OIL SUPPLY TO
 BE EXHAUSTED
 SIXTEEN YEARS

COLUMBUS, O., June z (by Asso. ciated Press) ).-The oil supply of the United States will be exhausted in 16 years, if present rates of produc. tion are kept up, and no new produc- ing territory is discovered, it is as. serted by Prof. John A. Bownocker, state geologist and professor of geo. logy at Ohio State university.
 According to Professor Bownocker, the United States has petroleum re- serves amounting to six or seven billion barrels. The rate of produc- tion in 1920 was 44O million, barrels year. However, this is thought to be the highest mark production will reach, Bownocker said geologists be- lieve. The production rate is ex- pected to decline this year.
 Thus, Professor Bownocker points out, this country actually can pro- duce Gil for longer than 16 years, but at a constantly decreasing rate each year.
 More than 60 per cent of the worlds oil supply is produced in the United States. Much oil is import ed here from Mexico, second in oil production, but. Professor Bownocker declared, at Mexico's present rate of production, her wells will cease to be factor in two or three years.

TAXPLACED0N
 HERRING PACK FOR TW0Y YEARS

A tax of 21z cents per 100 pounds will be collected on all salt and mild cure herring put up in the territory this and next year, according to a statement by Walstein G. Smith, territorial treasurer This tax was imposed on herring in common with other mild cured fish by the revenue measure passed by the last legisla- ture.
 Previous tax measures had except ed the herring pack from their pro- visions. It is not believed that the intention of the last legislature was to place any tax on the herring pro- duct in this form, but did so through the omission of two words in prepar- ing the bill for introduction or in eli grossment.
 After fixing the taxes on mild-curad red king and white king salmon and on salt codfish, all other kinds of salted and mild-cured fish were taxed two and one-half cents per hun dred pounds, while in previous bills the same action had an added pro- visisions-"ezcept herring"
 The amount of revenue accruing to the territory from herring packs under this tax, it is said, will be small and, passing estimates on the reported pack of 1920, will not ex- ceed $2,000 per year. The smallness of the tax, according to men familiar with the herring packing industry, while it will be felt in meeting com petition from Norwegian and Scotch markets, will not materially affect the industry nor lessen the pack ap- preciably.
 That there may be mixup in the collection of taxes on delivery and other trucks was also indicated by MT. Smith. The tax measure placed tax on automobiles of various kinds and specified Automobile trucks, or delivery cars, whether for hire, business, or personal use, one. ton trucks, $15 per annum." Ac. cording to Mr. Smith many, if in fact not a majority, of the delivery cars and trucks in use are under one-ton capacity being quarter and half-ton trucks. No specific provision fig made iu the law for trucks of small. CT, than one ton. "
