THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) CONSTITUTIONAL WAY THE BEST Governor “Jack” Walton appears to ‘have suffered a | crushing defeat in Oklahoma. The overwhelming vote against him in the referendum election means that his mili- tary dictatorship can continue only against the will of the great majority of the people of the state. Nor is the result surprising. American people are liberty loving. They have seen that the only sound progress in government is by constitu- tional methods. Nothing is resented more than a careless misuse of power entrusted to officials, or an attempt to assume a dictatorship. From this distance it is impossible to judge accurately | the merits af the motives which prompted Governor Walton 4o_resort to the military to enforce the laws. The Governor announced that he intended to preserve constitutional gov- :ernment in Oklahoma and to prevent rule by any invisible government. That is right. Religious toleration and con- stitutional government are foundations of the nation. Where Governor Walton appears to have failed is in his methods. ’ The courts still are functioning in Oklahoma. The re- straint which has characterized the warring factions in the “southern states lends belief that the courts can be depended on to do their duty. Governor Walton might have taken a page from the rale of Governor Parker of Louisiana, who threw the whole force of the state government behind the ‘ordinary process of law and order at Bastrop.and has suc- | ceeded in bringing before the bar of justice for a fair de- termination as to guilt or innocence numerous persons. ns e Governor Walton has the love of the spectacular. was elected on the Democratic ticket, as a radical, and promptly repudiatell the Democratic banner under which he sought office. He was inaugurated with a three-day barbecue to which thousands were invited and hundreds of head of cattle sacrificed to his desire for a regal inaugur- ation, The militia was called out—the Governor appears to have a fondness for the military. eS Oftentimes men have suddenly been elevated to positions of high public authority by vote of the people. Without understanding or appreciation of the underlying principles 6f government, or appreciation of the power entrusted in them, tHey incline to the belief’ that the vote of the people confers upon them the attributes of a potentate. The bland statement of the Governor that he had ordered work stopped on a highway project in the district of one of his opponents partly as punishment for his opposition isicetey the Okla- homa executive lacks a comprehensive understan ling of the responsibilities of his office. The lesson which Governor Walton may learn from his “war” in Oklahoma is that public officials as well as indi- viduals are foresworn to govern by constitutional law, that a military dictatorship cannot bend a people to the will of | sone man in enlightened America. It should be surprising, | tteo, if it is not demonstrated in Oklahoma that the people } of. the commonwealth themselves will reject, just as firmly “as they reject a military dictatorship, any attempt by an/| “Snvisible government” founded on bigotry and hate, to rule | the state. ve DINNER BELL A rat is let out of its cage by Dr. Savlov, distinguished | Russian scientist.

D., Oct. 4—The Em- mons county commission has decid- ed to resist payment of $3,000 award- ed by the North Dakota compensa- tion board in favor of B. H. Tong, as compensation for injuries alleged to have been received by him in an auto accident Aug. 28, 1922, while he was motoring to Bismarck on business in his capacity as Emmons county en- gineer. * The board has instructed States Attorney Charles Coventry to take such steps as he deems necessary to Protect the county’s interest and to employ additional counsel if needed. Petition has been filed with the state compensation board asking re- hearing on the ground that the award is excessive, not in accordance with the facts, and that the county auditor failed to protect the county’s interests in the course of proceed- ings preceding the award. E. H. Brant, county auditor, in an affidavit, admits he failed to notify commission members or the states attorney of notices of hearing’ sent to him ,by the compensation board. Alex Walther, with Tong when the accident occurred, has prepared an affidavit to the effect that on the trip he twice warned Tong not to drive so recklessfy. Under the law, direct liability is placed upon Emmons county for in- jury to its employes in the course of their employment because of the county’s failure to pay its insurance o-— lg | What’s Going on in-| i The World | > oe By Charles P.

Phyllis Jevons,, 19, is also sched- uled to be tried at Estevan on the charge of murdering an infant foung dead on a Canadian train as it rived at Portal, N. D. 13 Caught in Minot Drive Minot, N. D., Oct.~4.—Culminating a several days drive by enforcement officials against liquor law violators, 13 persons, 7 men and 6 women, Inte yesterday, were arrested on charges of violating dry laws, In each instance, informations were filed by State’s Atty. V. E. Sten- erson direct in county court, elimin- ating preliminary hearings, Twelve defendants have pleaded not guilty and will face trial at the next term of county court, scheduled for early in 1924, Pleas of not guilty were entered by the following: , Malynda McCray, colored, engag- ing in liquor traffic; Mr..and Mrs. Pat Barton and Whitney Jensen, keeping common nuisance; Bert Gow, William Stoddard, Freeman Boswelt colored; Louis Panos, Mrs, Jim Sta- ley, Charley Hamilton, alias Pay Car, colored; Mrs. Eddie Norris, Margaret Davis, engaging in liquor traffic, Jacqueline Ford, colored, charged with keeping a common nuisance, ig* scheduled to be arraigned today. The Ford woman and Charley Hamilton are the only two defendants held in jail in default of bonds. ar- ep ity of the mill is 3,000 barrels per day or a total production of 810,000 barrels for the period-of the audit. The audit shows that anly 266,380 barrels were produced, less than one- third of its capacity, but interest has been computed on the whole in: vestment and in addition, the mill has also been charged with the operat- ing expense and interest on the cle- vator investment which has not been available for use and represents $1,- 241,725.00 or approximately 41 per- cent of the total investment. Can- didly speaking, part of the $230,- 346.57 eent loss, might be attributed to putting the mill in operation pre- maturely, for the purpose of politicn! strategy. It goes without saying that the mill, should be completed and brought up to. capacity production before it is fair to charge the whole investment to operation. Considering these facts, it is only fair to say that the mill, as the records stand today, is a full and complete demonstration, that it is entering on a prosperous care:r, and not on a losing adventure. Np Private business has ever started without suffering a loss to start with. That is usually charged to pro- motion, advertising, introduction, ete. As soon as the mill ‘is put under full capacity and the elevator is made to function, then it will be time to determine the profit or the loss: To indulge in “scarehead” head lines at this time is Searcely fair to the state or the business administra- tion. A fair analysis cannot help but lead to the conclusion that the showing made up to date does not in- dicate that it is a losing venture. On the, contrary, if the interest, promo- tion, and introduction costs were Properly pldrated for a term of year, the operating loss of the mill weuld be very. small, if any, and great cre- dit is due to Mr. Austin, his ability is well demonstratéd. The State should’ be congratulated, instera of being held up to the public gaze as a disma} failure. No doubt the mill Management will be able to cut down the selling expense to about 5 cents per barrel and general expense can be cut down, including overhead and inter- est to about one-third of the present cost per barrel, and the selling price can Be raised fifty cents per barrel. When this is accomplished, there will be a net margin of Profit of about $1.20 per barrel. A fair, candid and calm “coi of this report leads to this conclu sion: That if the production is kepi up to the capacity, it is easy to prophesy that the deficit will be turned to a profit.
