Guthrie. Okla, May 1.-THE school
land commissioners practically have
agreed to accede to the wishes Of the
school land lessee union and join that
organization in the filing Of test suits
on an agreed statement Of facts to Sc
cure court determination Of the
questions that have been vexing the
lessees.
Secretary Ed. Cassidy. Of the board
was in conference yesterday with Al
torney General West outlining the
points that Will be raised in the suits
which probably will be brought in tbs
supreme court. The questions at is
sue are whether a lessee may exercise
his preference right to purchase al
the land he has under lease or is limit
ed to i60 acres; what constitute i'm
proyements for which the lessee
should be reimbursed, and how to ar
rive at the fair value as basis fol

Gore Sounds Warning to
Shippers of Southwest

country. the present coastwise water
situation presents the worst"
Mr. Johnston received the following
reply from Senator Gore, dated May
p:
Your valued and valuable favor
was this moment received and read
with greatest interest. | heartily con
|curr with you in the view that the
coastwise steamship lines should be
brought under the supervision of the
interstate commerce commission.
There is every reason in favor of this
proposition and not single one
against it.
"A comparison between rates from
New York to Galveston and the rates
from England to Galveston illustrates
the unjust, unreasonable and outrag
eous determinations against the peo
pie of the southwest. The New York
rates are from three times to sixteen
times greater than those from London
and Liverpool to Galveston.
1T was matter Of intense regret
to me that the senate by an over
whelming majority struck this provis
ion. from the pending bill Ny own
|voth was cast against the motion to
|strike out this proposition. In other
words, l voted to bring the coastwise
steamship lines under the administra
tion of the Interstate commerce com
mission.
The house of representatives has
shown better disposition toward the
passage of such a salutary measure
than has the senate. If you will permit
my saying SO, the democrats and pro
gressive republicans are doing splen
did team work in the house with refer
enee to this bill would, therefore
suggest that you Immediately write
the five representatives from Okla
homa respecting this matter, and have
the commercial clubs all over the
Estate take the matter up with Their
respective congressman.
Assuring you that am always
pleased to profit by your suggestions,
Ibeg to remain,
Truly yours,

'INIQUITIEs OF
TARIFF EXPOSED
10000 Prosressivss Attend Opening Of
Republican Campaign In Iowa
Hear Tariff Denunciatlon.

Des Moines, la, May 11.-Ringing
denunciations Of the tariff bill and
the men who passed it characterized
the speeches of Senators Jonathan P.
Dolliver and Albert B. Cummins, who
Opened the progressive campaign in
Iowa last night at the Coliseum. Over
10000 progressives attended the meet
ling.
The meeting last night followed dis
|trict conferences throughout the day,
lat which steps were taken to recon-
struct the old Cummins organization
and to organize the state by counties
and precincts.
Even President Taft did not escape
the sarcastic shafts of the two Iowa
solons, while Senator Aldrich was
named as the leader of corporate
greed and avarice. Senator Dolliver
referred to the president as the
'titular leader OF the republican
party, which meant, be said, "a good
man surrounded by people who knew
exactly what they wanted9'
Both senators declared If the re-
publican party continued the policy
advocated by the leaders it would spell
ruin to the party
Among these leaders, Senator AID
rich was frequently mentioned as the
man "alIied withIN the Guggenheims
and the Ryans and Paul Morton in a
mammoth trust incorporated as rub
ber company, which Is allowed by the
articles Of incorporation to participate
in any kind of business anywhere on
the face of the earth, and which is one
of the holding companies in the Gug-
genheim syndicate for the control Of
the wealth Of Alaska.

COMMISSION CANNOT
| COMPEL DEPOT BUILDING

Guthrie, Okla, May 11.-Three i'm
portant cases from the corporation
commissioners were decided yester-
day by the supreme court, the com
mission being reversed in two of the
cases.
Probably the most noted Is the
Nowata depot case, In which the com
mission ordered the Iron Mountain
Railroad company to remove the frame
depot. which has been in service for
nineteen years. and replace It with a
modern structure, to cost about $685.
600. The company conceded that its
facilities were inadequate and built a
separate freight depot offering to rel
model the present frame structure
The commission rejected this pro
posal, but its action is reversed by the
court in an opinion by Chief Justice
Dunn. The court holds that the cor
poration commission, while having
plenary powers to enforce the require
ments of the constitution, that depots
shall be clean and comfortable, we'll
heated and lighted, cannot reject and
require the removal Of depot build
ing which meets, or which the com
palls offers tlD make meet. these re-
quirements End arbitrarily orders a
new and comparatively expensive
building erected in its place.
In the case of Lewis Hine, sole own
er of the Purcell and Lexington Tele-
phone company against b G. Wadling-
ton ct al, the court holds. in an opin-
ion by Justice Williams, that the cor
poration commission has the author
ity to supervise. regulate and control
a telephone company owned solely by
an individual company owned RF RR
an individual, in all matters relating
to the performance of its public duties
and charges as fully as though con-
trolled by corporation.
The commission Is reversed in an
opinion by Justice Williams In the
contempt case against the Atehison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company
for exceeding the switching charges
fixed by the commission. A car of
wheat was shipped from Bliss to az
elevator company at Oklahoma City
located on the Katy" tracks. The
Santa Fe switching crew placed the
car on the connecting track and the
Katy placed it at the elevator. A
charge Of 50 was made, which was
held to be in violation of the rate of
81 per car fixed by the commission.
The court holds the higher charge all
right. inasmuch as the car had to be
handled twice.

WAL TIERS COMING
TO v|N|TA SOON
In Conference With S. E. WaIlen, MIR.
Walters Says Financial Details
Are Now Settled.

S. e. Wallen, president of the Com
mercial Club returned last night from
Claremore where he had been for a
consultation with Clarence Walters,
relative to the prospects of the Usage
Western railroad. Mr.. Walters has
just returned from a five weeks trip
to the east. where he has completed
all of the finacial arrangements for
the building of the road. He explain
ed the great delay in reporting the
progress of the proposition as due to
the great amount of work necessary
in writing the bonds. This work has
engaged the entire attention of Mr.
Walters during his stay in New York
He now believes there is no more
difficulties in the way of building the
road and will be in the city within d
few days to sign the bonus contract
with this city.

BALL|NGER SAYS
HE WAS BARRED
Nearly Entire Day devoted to "cIear
Listing Of Cunningham Claims
Hearing Adjourned.

Washington Mao 1.-THE existence
OF ruling in the interior department,
which Secretary Ballinger must have
violated in appearing before the gen.
eral land Office in behalf of Cunning
ham coal claimants after his retire
ment as commissioner, was brought
out by Attorney Brandeis in the cross
examination of the secretary of inter
ior in the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
tion Tuesday.
Brandeis secured an admission from
Ballinger Tuesday that he had been
barred from appearing before the land
office by similar ruling in another
case subsequent to this activity in the
Cunningham cases and prior to his
becoming secretary of the interior.
Ballinger said that he had not called
these rulings to the attention Of the
president to assist him In reaching
a conclusion on the CLAWS charges,
because he did not think that there
was any law to sustain them.
The committee decided to grant the
request of Attorney Brandeis that
Oscar Lawler, assistant attorney, be
asked to furnish the original or copies
in his possession Of memorandum
prepared for the president last Sep
tember and which Brandeis intimated
the president followed in writing his
letter vindicating Ballinger and dis
missing L. G. CLAWS. BY unanimous
vote the committee refused to ask the
president for similar information.
Attorney Brandeis had almost con-
cluded his cross-examination of Bal
linger when the hearing adjourned
until Thursday.
He devoted practically the entire
day to the subject of "clear listing
Of the Cunningham claims by Com
missioner Ballinger in an effort to
show that extraordinary haste had
been made to rush the claims to pat.
ent and that CLAWS reiterated pro
tests alone had caused Ballinger to
pause.

SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
TO RECUPERATE FUND

Guthrie, Okla, May 11.--It develop
ed here last night that the state bank
ing board has made special assess
ment of one per cent against the
increased deposits on the same date
in 1909. Under the state banking
law, such a special assessment is per
missible and is made now to recu-
perate the depositors guaranty fund,
which was practically wiped out by
the failure Of the Columbia Bank and
Trust company Of Oklahoma City.
One local state bank must pay into
the state treasury over $500 under
this assessment. There is a total OF
deposits on state banks of $40 .92S, PA,
as against 35,16O.71s year ago. or
an increase of $14.7sS,71S. This means
that STAT, 7,6S7 win be put into the guar
anty fund, permitting the final liquida-
tion of the Columbia Bank and Trust
company.
Since the depletion of the guaranty
fund, three state banks have failed,
New banks being organized immedi
ately to take over the assets of the
defllnet Institutions.
Next October the state bankers win
be required to pay eheir annual one
fifth of one per cent on all deposits

Senator T. p. Gore sounds word of
warning to the shippers of Oklahoma
in his reply to letter from John H.
Johnston of Oklahoma City, vice pres
ident of the Southwestern Shippers
Traffic association. The senator ad-
vices that shippers and commercial
clubs all over the state write the FIVE
representatives from Oklahoma urg-
ing the passage of an amendment now
in the house which will place all
coastwise freight rates under the con-
troll of the interstate commerce COM
mission. This amendment was de-
feated in the senate. but has received
greater consideration in the lower
branch.
Correspondence between Mr.. john
ston and Senator Gore is self-expIana-
tory. The following letter was sent
Senator Gore April 25:
"As vice-president of the South
western Shippers Traffic association
my attention has been called by Mr..
H. H. Haines, that very little progress
is being made toward securing an
amendment to the interstate CONNER
cial law placing coastwise rates under
the control Of the interstate commerce
commission.
IF you gentlemen realized how
serious matter this is and what a
strong combine exists between New
York and Galveston. l am sure you
would put forth redoubled efforts to
have the law remedied in the respect
referred to. Here we have condi-
tion where, by our own protective
policy, we absolutely prevent conn
lpetition as between steamship lines
because we will not permit vessels
other than those of American registry
to participate in the business; and
practically all such vessels are con-
trolled by very few men in the city
of New York, who in combination with
the owners of the railroads absolutely
control the situation both from a rail
and water carrying standpoint. Now
! believe in the doctrine of Millions
for defense, but not one cent for tri-
butte and in my judgment, unless the
United States government can control
the creature which it has created, the
next best thing to do is to raise the
embargo and amend our coastwise
shipping laws SO as to throw our
water carrying traffic open to the com
petition of the world.
"If We create monopoly by reason
of the American registry proposition,
then in the name of all that is high
and holy let us try and control that
monopoly in a legitimate and sensible
manner. instead of longer permitting
| 1t to join with the railroads and
charge at least twice If not thrice the
rate which would be made by any
independent water carrier. This is a
serious menace to the southwest no
less than to the manufacturing inter
ests of the New England and all the
other eastern states, and if properly
put before the people who are not
dominated by railroads and shipping
interests, they will rise to the occas-
ion and rally to the support OF the
proposition when it is intelligently
presented
Personally believe in a protective
tariff, intelligently drafted and execut-
ed with a tendency to revision down
ties which we have ever had in this
