ANCIENT RIVALS To
CLASH TOMORROW
St. Johns To Hook Up With
Nine From University Of
Maryland Here

ST. Johns College and the Uniyer-
sity of Maryland, ancient rivals in
athletics, will clash in their annual
baseball game tomorrow afternoon
the game to be staged on the diamond
of the local institution, starting at
3:45 o'clock.
The contest is attracting State
wide, as well as keen local interest
not alone because of the existing riv-
airy, but also for the reason that
tho result will figure in the Inter
collegiate championship race of the
season. Again st. Johns has not
tasted of victory over Maryland for
several years. and they have an ex-
cellent chance to take the measure of
their opponents this time.
Cadets Look Strong
The Cadets undoubtedly have a
stronger outfit than has been devel-
oped for several seasons. This was
demonstrated by their decisive vic
tory over Blue Ridge College Satur-
day, and Gallaudet Mutes on Wednes-
day last In addition they also put
the skids to the nine Of United States
Marines stationed at the Naval Acad-
emy, a week ago.
The local Collegians arc being
coached by Captain Sam" Freeny,
United States Marine Corps, a for
mer ST Johns baseball and basket
hall star. who now lives in Annapolis.
Freeny is getting the most out of his
squad OF players thus far, and stu
dents, and st. Johns hackers, alike,
are jubilant over the seasons pros
poets.

EXPECT FULL SERVICE ON
FRISCO STARTING NEXT WEEK
President OF Road Promises Two
Trains Daily As Before Strike

The News Monday night received
the following telegram from George
+. Short, Attorney General of Okla
homa. from 81. Louis.
st. Louis. Mo-, Nov. 90, 1922.
T.. W. Evans:
Durant, Okla.
President Krum of Frisco Railroad
has promised me to restore full pas
Scngrr service on ArdmOrc Hope di-
vision beginning next week
GEORGE +. SHORT.
The Frisco always ran two trains
daily on the branch through Durant
each day. There was a morning and
evening train each way and the trav-
elling public was served reasonably
well. considering slow trains, poor
Accommodations, etc, that is to say,
the travelling public had sort of
way of getting from one place to an
other.
When the railroad shopmcn's
strike came on, following the coal
strike, the Frisco cut the service on
this line in half assigning the coal
shortage as the reason. After they
got through with it we had one train
east at HIS o'clock in the morning
and another west at 5:l5 in the even
ing east bound train and the morn
ing west bound train were both dis
continued.
Then came the settlement of the
strikes, both the railroad and the
coal strikes. Other lines restored
normal train service, but from the
Frisco came no word at all. Heresay
has it that the Frisco had surplus
of coal stored away. for weeks after
the strikes settlement, but still con-
tinued to give this line half train
service.
The Ardmore folks got after the !
Frisco-The Durant Folks got after
them-The Hugo Folks got after
them, but they still laid low. The
message printed above from the At
torney General is the first indication
that Durant is to get what she merits
.-to-wit; train service that is suffi-
cient to take care of the folks who
wish to travel on the company's lines.
In the interim, the travelling pub
lie, Thy that we mean the men who
earn their livlihoods selling goods to
merchants on the line traversed by
the Frisco have made their OWN ar
rangements. They have found that
they can use cheap automobiles and
get over their territories about as
cheaply as the FRISCO can haul
them. and on top of that, they do
not have to wait for trains. Hun
dreds of them have seen an actual
saving in expenses by the overland
route, and large number of these
have expressed themselves as mean
ing to continued the overland route
of calling upon customers. These,
the railroad will NOT gain back.
When a railroad company deter
mines to shortput community, to
gain its selfish ends, its management
cannot blame its own patrons for pro-
tecting themselves.

LIBERTY BONDS
LIABLE TO TAXES
Otherwise Tax Free Bonds Held Tax
able When Held by Banks With
Funds From Capital

Decision of the United States SUI
promc court Monday that liberty
bonds are suhpcct to state taxation
when such otherwise tax exempt So
curiticS are held by banks as capital
stock. surplus and undivided profits,
will have "a widespread effect in Ok
lahoma, in the opinion of the attor-
ney generals office.
The case of the Peoples National
Bank of kingfishcr versus the state
board of equalization. in which the
supreme court decision is said to have
been made. involved $31 200 capital
stock, surplus and undivided profits,
which the directors of the kingfishcr
institution had invested in liberty
bonds.
The kingfsher county tax assessor
on January |, 1918. refused to allow
a deduction claimed by the Peoples
National bank on that part of the
capital stock surplus and undivided
profits invested in United States
bonds, although in the case of an in
dividual such securities had been held
non-taXable.
The state board of equalization also
diSallowcd the claim for deduction
but the district court ovcrrulcd the
holding of the board. The state ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court
of Oklahoma where the opinion of
the lower court was reversed, the SUI
preme court ruling that taxes were
levied against the shares of stock of
the bank; and that in determining the
value of the shares of stock of ma
tional or state bank for purpose of
taxation, no deduction is to be made ,
on account of the capital it might
invest in securities which are other |
wise exempt from taxation.
The Peoples National bank of
Kingfisher, in common with many
other institutions in the state. had in
YES ted funds from their capital stock,
surplus and undivided profits in lib
erty bonds and other similar securi-
ties in the belief that such part of
their funds would be tax exempt.
Following the opinion of the state
court upholding the ruling of the
state board of equalization, the King
fisher case was appealed to the su-
preme court of the United States, it |
having been decided by the banks to
fight the contention of the state be-
f6re the supreme court as a test case.
The attorney generals office Mon
day was unable to state just how
sweeping the effect of the dicision
might be, although it is said that
many other banking institutions had
invested capital and other stock in
tax-exempt securities, hoping thereby
to escape taxation by the state.
States have the right to tax for
state purposes liberty bonds owned
by banks, the supreme court decided
Monday in affirming the decision of
an Oklahoma court.
Every national bank in Oklahoma
Is affected by the decision sought to
have reversed, it was stated, as we'll

MORE STRINGENT LAWS
REGARDING FOOD NEEDED
(By DR.. A. r. Lewis, Commissioner
of HEALTH.

(By DR.. A. R. Lewis, Commissioner
of Health).
One of the most important phases
of public health work is the taking
Of proper precautions to insure as
far as possible, the purity of the
food supplied to the public. The
task is not an easy one. In fact, the
general public scarcely realized the
amount of work which the State
Board of Health is doing along this
line, although, there is growing APP
probation of it, which is very en-
couraging.
There is crying need of more
stringent laws being enacted. govern
ing the handling of food We know
of several instances throughout the
state. of walters suffering from Tu-
bcrculosis. Syphilis, Gonorrhea and
various skin diseases, any one of
which might contaminate the food
handed out to innocent and unsuspect-
ing customers.
There should be a state law compel
ling all handlers of food to pass a
physical examination before they are
to wait on the public. AS it
INV TO- oul BoNOlS hiO
a few cities in the state have ordi-
nances compelling examination of
cooks, walters and all employees,
who. in any manner, handle food, but
a man who is physically unfit may
be peddling meat around some coun-
try town, over whom we have little
if any jurisdiction. This is one place
where a state law is badly needed.
Instances have been known of per-
sons peddling apples who had bad
sores on their lips, splitting on the
apples before polishing, thereby max
ing it an absolute menace, if eaten
being peeled.
The public must be protected
against eating impure and contami-
mated foods, and any laws that can
be enacted along these lines by the
coming legislature will be of vast
benefit to the people of the state.
