BROKEN ARROW LOSES
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Oyt. lin its
second stormy session, the state hoard
OF agriculture yesterday rejected the
recommendation of the committee
composed OF State Superintendent
Cameron, President Connell of the
agricultural college and President
Connors of the board Of public affairs,
that the agricultural schools provided
by the last legislature be located at
Broken Arrow in the third district,
Anadarko in the fourth district and

CUMM|NS REPLIES
TO CANNON ATTACK
Iowa Senator Declares EmphaticaIly
For Change in Rules Govern
ing the House.

Knoxville, Ia, Oct. 7---Taking issue
with Speaker Joseph G, Cannon, who
from the same platform Tuesday ac-
cused him of joining hands with Bryan
Senator Albert B. Cummins in a
speech yesterday attacked the rules
OF the house of representatives and
defended the six Iowa insurgents who
voted against the Payne tariff bill.
Senator Cummins declared emphati-
calIy for a change in the house rules
whicn will take from the speaker the
power to name committees and stated
that this one issue is all that is at
stake in the fight over the rules. He
asserted that no mortal should have
the power that lies in the hands OF
the speaker of the house of represen-
tatiyes under present rules and inti-
mated that we're he a member Of the
house he would have voted against
Cannon for speaker.
FlatIy denying Speaker Cannon's as
aertion that Cummins. like Bryan, is
continually agitating the tariff ques-
tion with view to securing free trade
the senator declared his unalterable
opposition to any further general re-
vision. He affirmed his faith In the
protective principle, but expressed the
hope that congress would never again
attempt to revise the tariff without
sufficient information to act intelligent
ly on all schedules. Referring to the
speakers criticism Of the Iowa insur-
gents Senator Cummins said they yot-
ed against the Payne tariff bill because
they could not conscientiously support
some OF its schedules, which the
rules prevented them from amending.
In explaining how the tariff bill was
passed he said:
"The house had the bill with five
thousand or more items making duties
that positively concerned the welfare
OF every man and woman in the state
Of Iowa, and yet the representatives
had chance to vote for amendments
to paragraphs relating only to hides,
oil, lumber. barley and harley.malt,
and to nothing else.
And that bin was adopted in the
house Of representatives as a whole
without the slightest opportunity on
the part Of the Individual men to ex-
press an opinion ON any one commod
ity separate from the rest Of the bill
save on these five things have men
toned.
1T was adopted because they knew
that il they did not vote for it their
names would be singularly conspicu-
GUS by their absence from the list of
house committee appointments.
ut is farce to call that tariff bill
the deliberate judgment of the house
of representatives. It may be the
best law in the world. but when you
send men down to Washington to rep
resent the people OF Iowa. don't you
think they ought to have a right to
express their opinions and their objec-
tons if they have them?"
