Wabash, Ind, Jan. 18.-Wabash is
feeling one of the most destructive
floods in it's history and only the most

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 18.-Naviga-

Guthrie, Okla. Jan. .1S-James
Harris, of Wagner state chairman,
and N, G. Turk, of Checotah, treasur-
er of the state committee, were elect
ed by acclamation at the meeting Of
the republican state committee here
yesterday. On resolutions, the com
mittee split over national questions,
but both progressives and standpat.
ters agreed that state issues should be
given the prominence in the coming
campaign.
The progressives made a surpris-
ing showing, securing twenty-four of
the sixty-six members against the res
olutions indorsing the votes of Con-
gressmen MCGUIRE, Morgan and
Creager for the Payne tariff bill. 1t
has been supposed that the commit
tee was composed almost altogether Of
standpatters.
The committee on resolutions
brought in a report on national af-
fairs endorsing the administration of
President Taft and declaring that the
splendid prices of products of the
farm are verification of the declar-
alton of President Taft that the
Payne tariff passed by a republican
congress is the best tariff law ever
enacted"
HI. E. P. Stanford, of Okmulgee, who
has been mentioned as candidate
against Congressman Creager, moved
that the closing portion of the resolu-
tion which read as follows, be elimi-
mated: I'VE congratulate the country
upon its adoption and commend the
action of the republican congressman
of Oklahoma in voting for this bill
and in giving their loyal support to
the national republican administra-
ton"
Stanford as substitute offered a
resolution endorsing President TAFT,
but making no mention of the tariff
bill or the Oklahoma congressman
and declaring that: 1--WE believe that
party principles are but the concen-
trated opinions of men; and freedom
of speech, thought and action by the
individual members of our party re-
lative to it's platform, are by this com
mittee given the greatest encourage
ment; realizing as we do that the
underlying principle of our govern
ment is that the voice of the people
shall prevail"
Stanford's motion was tabled by a
vote of AZ to "a amid brisk cries of
"postmasters." Seven committeeman

Washington, Jan. 18.-Several al
legged "jokers" have been discovered
in the administration railway control
bill, and opposition to the PRESIDENT S
corporation charter scheme is unex-
pectedly appearing. Inasmuch as en-
actment of the railway bill is on the
program of the leaders, while the
other is to go over to another session
Of congress without serious effort to
pass it this winter, examination of the
railway bill is important.
The so-called "iokers" in the railway
rate bill are declared by some keen
students of the railway question to be
altogether in the interest of the rail
roads and so far-reaching in their eff
fects and so cunningly devised that it
looks as if a master hand had prepar-
ed them.
One senator goes SO far as to as
sert that ''the bill is con game upon
the public, and, instead of being drawn
in the interest of the people, is rail-
way scheme, pure and simple"
This view is not generally held.
More moderate senator's believe the
measure was drawn in good faith, but
that it contains some imperfections
which will have to be corrected be-
fore it can be deemed wholly salts

in the bill, as pointed out by republi-

The first charge made by western

legal practice without requiring the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission, though adroitly leading
the people to believe that the approval
of the commission is necessary under
the proposed law. II this is true it is
an important matter. For many years
the railways have sought the privilege
of pooling, which was made unlawful
by the original interstate commerce
law and is still unlawful.

Mr.. WALTON THANKED
Eastport Protective Association Gives A
Rising Vote OF Thanks To Its Pres
ident

Last night meeting was held at
the Firmen's Hall, Eastport, of the
Taxpayers Association at which a
constitution was adopted. This pro-
vides that all questions affecting the
welfare of the taxpayers shall first
be submitted to the advisory board for
consideration. The. board is composed
of the following well known gentle
men: Judge James 4. Brashears,
Hon. James Nj. Munroe, Messrs. Leon
Gottlieb, Theodore Cornor and Charles
Ridout.
A rising vote of thanks was tender
ed the president of the association,
Mr.. j. A. Walton, for the interest
which he has taken in the fight
against the Special Privilege Act.
Mr.. Walton on his own initiative,
caused an injunction to be issued
against the County Commissioners,
restraining them from collecting the
tax under this act. This in itself
saved the taxpayers of this dis
district about 63 cents on the $100
and the vote was given IN apprecia-
tion of this.
1t was also decided that the meet
ings of the association shall be held
on the last Friday of each and every
month commencing with October.
The residents of Eastport are ex-
tremely grateful to Mr.. Walton for
his interest in the matter, and con-
gratulate him on his success. 1t
would have meant, if the law had
been effective, that each tenant would
have been compelled to pay at least
81 more rent each month.
