The receivers appeared before the
board seeking authority for a dock
age allowance on oats and barley
Their contention was that since, by
recent legislative enactment, they
were forbidden to protect themselves
by buying at less than legal weight
per bushel, they should be allowed to
make deduction for dirt This appeal
was turned down. Moreover, it was
decided that upon the complaint Of
any farmer the railway and warehouse
commission should prosecute anyone
buying at less than the legal weights,
it appeared that it had been the prac-
tice of grain buyers to take oats on
basis of 33 and barley on a basis of
IS pounds to the bushel.
The test weights on oats were lower
ed by the board. No. white is cut
from 20 to % pounds to the bushel.
and No. white was reduced from

OKLAHOMA TO BE ADMITTED.

President Roosevelt has taken the
proper course in deciding to proclaim
the admission Of the new State Of
Oklahoma. in spite of his dislike of
certain features Of its constitution.
We take leave to doubt whether his
opinion of that document is unfit for
publication, as several eminently
respectable contemporaries assert, but
whatever it is, Mr.. Roosevelt has done
we'll not to permit a mere difference
Of judgment as to the wisdom Of Okla
homa legislation to stand in the way
of the performance of a clear public
duty. The legislation 50 distasteful to
the President he frankly recognizes to
be wholly within the competence of a
sovereign State to enact and as it is
satisfactory to the people Of that
state, he has no responsibility for it
and no authority to exclude the new
Commonwealth from the Union on &C.
count Of it.
Moreover by determining to admit
Oklahoma Mr.. Roosevelt has cleared
his skirts of any sympathy with the
unsavory political plot matched by
sundry Republican leaders for the ez-
clusion of the new State on merely
partisan grounds. AS soon as it ap-
peared certain that the new State
would be Democratic in it's political
complexion, these leaders began the
manufacture Of colorable reasons for re-
fusing admission. These they affected
to discover in various features Of the
constitution which were thought to be
"populistic," AMI so antagonistic to the
republican form of government"
which is imposed on every State by
the terms of the Federal Constitution.
We are glad to hear that the specious
pleas OF politicians, even of his own
party, have not in this instance avail
ed to lead the President into the CON-
mission of fragrant wrong. The peo-
pie Of Oklahoma will get a square
deal, SO far as statehood is concerned.

NEW GRADINGS OF GRAIN

NEW GRADINGS OF GRAIN
The state board of appeals at its
meeting in Minneapolis has made some
changes in the regulations for grain
grading, which will be of interest to
the farmers here.
Durham wheat has a weight test
for the first time since it's appearance
on the market, as the result of deliber-
atoms of the state grain appeal board
Wednesday. Another innovation made
at this meeting was the establishment
of moisture test for corn
Hereafter, to grade No. l, durum
will have to weigh so pounds to the
bushel; to grade No. it must weigh
SIS pounds to the bushel. This ruling
is expected to do away with the fire.

result of complaints made to the ma
tional government by foreign corr
eonsignees that the cargoes were ar

JOHN D. AND HIS INCOME.

Taking the present figures made
public concerning John D. Rockefel-
ler's holdings of Standard Oil stock
and the dividends that have been de
clared in series Of years, an eastern
statician figures that Mr.. Rockefellers
average income from the Standard Oil
alone amounts to S10,021.680.
OF course this income of upwards
of million a month represents only
part Of Nj Rockefeller's wages, but
considering his statement that he has
paid no attention to the Standard s
business for years, it looks like good
returns.
This means that the Standard has
! paid Mr. Rockefeller an average OF
s27, 429 day, with a quarter left over
! for car fare. This is on the basis OF
1865 days in the year, but If you count
! out Sundays and say, three holidays
in the course of a year, it makes ar
income Of s32,328 a day, which is fair
ly good wages for one man.
| Taking the time basis, the STANDARD
gave Mr.. Rockefeller 81 ,144 an hour, OF
$40 minute, night and day, Sunday
and holidays, no matter what he was
! doing. This would be about a dollar
every time he breathes.
But If Mr.. Rockefeller had his dues
paid up in the OIL Presidents Unior
and worked only eight hours per day
knocking of on Sundays and thre<
holidays per year, it would meal
wages to the extent of $4,041 per hour
or S67 80 a minute-over a dollar ever,
time his watch ticks. However, THU
is probably above the union scale.
1t is not impossible, however, tina

trust. This announcement was made
this week and the prosecution will be
the fourth levelled at the nations big
corporations. None of the officials will
discuss the details, but complete infor-
nation is in the hands of the Bureau

be taken will be the filing OF this in
formation with the Interstate Com

and a decision is reached. the Depart

even a man with an income like that
would feel poor as he contemplates
the full meaning Of the statician's fig
ures. 1t is figured that at present
prices. s440 a share, Mr. Rockefeller's
stock is worth s116,e6S, 76O. Back in
May. 1901. Standard Oil stock was
slated at SS42 a share, which would
make his holdings worth 1929, 7O1,71S.
These figures in themselves do not
mean much, but they show that the
il arket value Of the oil stock has de-
clined $685. O2,e5s. The loss Of that
amount would make even John D.
Rockefeller feel poor, although in the
mean time his income has actually In
