The Hon. James Wilson, Secretary OF
Agriculture, declares that 1.-THE increase
during the past year in the price of farm
products, wheat and other cereals, vege-
tables and cattle for dairy use and slaugh-
ter, has amounted to hundreds of millions
of dollars, and may be as great as $500,
100000, as has been roughly estimated.
The increase in the value of the wheat
crop alone is estimated at from $75, 900, :
900 to 500, 000, 600 or more as compared
with last year. There has been a general
increase all along the line, and just as
the food of live stock has increased in
value, SO have beef, cattle, sheep, hogs
and other stock furnishing us our meat. -
Prosperity is evidently beginning at the
right end

a Letter From Senator Frye.

The following from Senator Frye ap-
peared in the Boston Herald Saturday
morning:
To the Editor of the Herald:
/ am informed that | have been the OBJ
jeet of criticism for voting in caucus for
duty on hides, and that your paper has
participated in it. l did not so vote in
caucus; on the contrary, joined Senator
Lodge in vigorous fight against the pro
position, and with him voted against 1t.
We were beaten by nearly n thirds
vote. In the Senate, under the instruc
lions of this caucus, my vote was cast for
the duty, as was that of every other Re-
publican; and surely in this, under the
circumstances, TO defence is necessary.
Very truly,
WILLIAM p. FRYE.

CURRENT COMMENT.
DEFENSE OF FREE SPEECH.
Hartford POST

The protest of the faculty against the
attitude of the corporation of Brown
University toward President Andrews is
the defense of free speech everywhere.
No class of people in the community can
be exempted from its benefits. 1t is di-
rected towards President Andrews's case,
but 1t includes the right of free speech in
the shop, at the forge or in the office.
There is no occupation in which its stur-
dy words are not needed in these times of
time serving.

MONDAY, AUGUST 9.

1t is now denied that President McKin-

CALLS 1T TOO MUCH LAW
Argument That the Tax Decision VIII
Harm the Territory Badly.

Guthrie. o. T, Sept. 6.-Editorially the
Guthrie Leader says OF the tax decison
The supreme court has reversed and
remanded the tax case of George Gray
ct al VS.. Joseph Stiles. This decision will
cause renewed agitation Of the go raise
by the board of equalization and also
tend 10 bring securities under the ban,
since all the taxes under the raise in
question have been paid. Time has
proven that the raise was beneficial TO
the territory's interests, as the Leader
al the time maintained. Why the court
should once more jam the territory into
the maelstr0m Of perplexity and tain
our securities with doubt ana suspicion
is hard to understand Considering all
the Quips and quirks the raise may not
have been in accordance with legal form
and the decision just reversed might not
have been withstood legal onslaughts.
but the best interests of the territory
would have been subserved had the mat
ter been left untouched. This is simply
another case Of too much law which
initiates against Oklahoma s commercial
and financial interests

SEES TERRITORIAL BANKRUPTCY
Decision Of the Courts, Il is:ssid, Will Pros
tratc Oklahoma.

Guthrie, o. T, Sept 6.-EditoriaIiy the
Oklahoma City Times-Journal says: The
Guthrie Capital defends the supreme
court decision on the l per cent limita-
ton, and declares 1t to be good for the
territory to have no such limitation. The
court Is probably right in declaring that
the l per cent limitation does not apply
to casual deficit in the revenues" at
least a casual reading OF the provision
leaves that impression. but to argue that
the credit of the territory will be bene-
fitted by such q construction is none
sense. II this territory's current ex-
penses make il necessary 10 pile up a
debt of quarter OF million dollars IN
six years time, with current expenses
increasing Is or 20 per cent faster than
the wealth Of the territory, il does not
require an extraordinary amount OF brains
to foresse the direful consequences OF
such unlimited credit" With the same
methods. and equal improvidence and
extravaganza, this territory Will be
bankrupt in another six years. The ter
ritorial levies cannot be increased, for
they are now as much as the people can
stand, and there Is little hope Of better
management in the future. II Is not
likely that the next legislature will be
more provident than preceding ones
have been. and the influences surround
ing il will not be more wholesome.
The territory needs no credit. l. is not
IN the market 10 buy anything. or 20
place bonds. The casual deficit in the
revenues" can be stopped. but past eX-
pensss in county management proves
pretty conclusively that il IS not stop
ped until the limit os Indebtedness Is
reached. and every penny is drained
from the treasury.
