A LAND COMMISSION NAMED.
Laws Governing the Klowas and other
Lands May BE Changed.


Washington, D. c., Dec 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has appointed com
mission, consisting of Commissioner
General Richards of tho general land
office. F. H. Newell of the geological
survey. and Clifford pinchot of the
agricultural department, to consider
in detail the land laws of the United
states and to make recommendations
las to changes in those laws that may
be desirable. The president directed
the commission to report on the effect
and condition OF ali the present land
laws with especial reference to
changes that would be TO the greatest
benefit to the present ami prospective
land holders.
The desire Of the president is, first,
to effect the largest practicable dispo,
sitlon Of public lands tc actual settlers
who win build permanent homes in
their holdings; second, to -cire in
'perpetuity the fullest ari ln6s COR
'plete use effect the large, y.7-Ncal.e

secure In perpetuity the hiiiest and
most complete use Of public lands,
and. third, TO- make such other sugges-
tions and recommendations as the
questions that come up In the consid
Grafton of these two problems may
Suggest
The commission is authorized TO
avail itself Of every means to obtain
the information It desires. It Is
charged with a full and free examina-
tion of all records Of the government
and of all the executive department
especially of records of the depart
mont of justice, the general land Of
fice and its branches, the reclamation
service and the bureau of forestry.
All Of those who compose the com
mission are well equipped to deal with
the land laws Especially is this true
in the case Of Commissioner Richards.
who is a pioneer of the west and has
wide experience as a government of
hcial in the administration of the
homestead laws. He rendered a con-
spicuous service of that character in
connection with the opening of the
Kiowa Comanche and Apache lands in
Oklahoma. Those lands were opened
to settlement under his direction and
the efficiency with which he accomp-
lished that work was strongly recon-
mendei by Secretary Hitchcock It
was largely due to his success in Ok
lahoma that he was promoted from
the position OF ASSISTANT commission
to that of commissioner in the land Of
fee, when Commissioner Binger Her
man of Oregon resigned He also
made splendid record az chief Of the
general land office. Mr. Richards was
formerly governor of Wyoming and
was a homesteader at the time he
made his campaign for the governor

EXCUSES GRIMES.
Enid Paper Says Secretary is Respons.
ible for Raise in Rentals.

Editor Everett Purcell, of the Enid
Events. who recently has taken partic-
nlar dislike to the doings. ana sayings
of Secretary William Grimes. who is
national committeeman for the Re
publican party in Oklahoma, has WELD
ed his pen again and in this weeks
Issue Of the Events accuses Secretary
Grimes with having been the cause Of
the raise of price of rentals OF school
land leases.
In his attack on the national com
mitteeman This week Editor Purcell
gives an excerpt from the Mcclure
statehood alone bill rela ing to the
sale of school lands and says
''The clause and other clauses in
the bill relating to the disposition Of
school land in Oklahoma state are,
substantially, the same as was con.
tanned ia the original Flynn bill.
The disposition OF The school land
under rhe above clause is Just the
same as is contained in all enabling
acts ani is absolutely fair and just 20
all parties and in our judgment no
fault can be found with it from con
scIentious standpoint
We would not accuse Mr. Grimes Of
ulterior motives regarding his agita-
ton and opposition to the Mcclure
bill but why was It that If the school
land clause was so obnoxious to him
that he raised no objection when Mr..
Flynn's bin was up for consideration
II he is so bitter against any prefer
ence being given the school land les
see now, he was certainly Of the same
frame Of mind then
Il would appear TO the casual OBJ
server that the motives Of Mr Grimes
IN endeavoring to discreiit Mr. Nc
Guire's statehood bin are not at all
patriotic, for, If he dissmted from
the bill. as a Republican earnest for
Republican success, he should have
privately corresponded his views to
the delegate and urged their consider
alton
Grimes says he dissen ei from
Flynn upon the school land question
last congress, and privately told him
so. Bus no one ever hearl Grimes
make a public remark against Fynn's
school land clause ana certain is IL
that be did not spread hs opposition
iu the public prints Of the land and
endeavor 20 discredft Flynn among
the Republicans OF Oklahoma
It seems Thar Grimes has been very
active lately against the lessees and
has had his way as member OF the
school land board OF Oklahoma, re-
garding the raise Of rentals of school
lands The raise of price of school
land leases was the original idea OF
Grimes ANA he urged and forced its
adoption What has been he result
