- The Oklahoma Cotton Growers Association is concerned about the potential sale of Indian lands and the lack of protection for their resources.

Additionally, a resolution has been introduced to permit leasing of Indian lands for oil and gas development, with some exceptions. Barnum also paid the Royal Zoological Society of England.
