The laws OF Oklahoma on this SUI
feet speak for themselves Where
laws Of similar title in the nation ana
in many states are but an ineffective
theory, the antitrust laws OF Okla
homa have proven reality.

the successful prosecution OF trusts

RAISING obstacles incident to the hrsl
few years OF law enforcement being
removed, yet none Of our laws have
proven to be unjust or unreasonable
from the standpoint Of the great legiti
mate enterprises, and Oklahoma Is
rapidly approaching the realization q
the spirit Of state constitution which
says that the weak and the strong
the rich and the poor, the laborer ano
the capitalist shall each have equal
protection under the laws.
The democratic policy in Oklahoma
has declared the right Of every ele
ment Of our citizenship to be hearl
with patient consideration by the Pep
resentatives Of all classes, and as g
result Of this policy, the agriculture
classes and the laboring classes il
general in Oklahoma have had more
to do with formulating the constitu
ton and the laws Of our state than II
any other constitution or code OF laws
ever written, and yet we challenge oui
adversaries to point to any one Of ths
numerous provisions for the protec
ton and benefit OF me toiling masses
that they would repeal If given th'
power 80 to do.

notable instance is to be the keep
ing Of the insane at a private institu-
ton at Norman, at such extrayagant
rates that the stock ownership Of tnal
institution was considered a speeial
privilege to the favored few Of the
dominating clique.
The prisoners Of the territory were
farrned oft to a neighboring state at
an extravagant rate. producing enor-
nous profits to that state, and CORE
spending loss to the taxpayers OF OK

fact that the public building fund mad

Referring to our citizenship Of In
dian descent, we view with regret the
deplorable condition resulting from
misgovernment through the interior
department Of the United States. Il is
a record OF pledges given the Indian
nations by the federal government for
a valuable consideration and there
after recklessly and ruthlessly ig-
nored and trampled under foot. Il IS
the administration Of affairs at long
range. in most instances through depu-
ties. clerks and subordinates, whose
purposes have been to enlarge and
proiong their selfish opportunities at
the expense and to the great embar-
rassment Of our Indian citizens, and
out Of this has grown a constant drain
upon the property Of the Indian and a
constant embarrassment to his exer-
else OF personal control OF his prop
ertv and his person. The policy OF
this character or government has been
70 magnify the necessity Of its impor-
lance and to live upon the sustenance
of our people. The varying and con
stantly changing policies and rules

AS the party Of strict economy the
democratic party advocates the lowest
tax rate possible consistent with ges,S
and efficient government. We believe
that taxation should be just, equal
and uniform.
In this connection we point to the
fact that under former republican rule
the special privilege and franchise
class paid only eight per cent of the
expenses Of the territory, while the
taxpayers paid ninety-two per cent,
while under present democratic rule
the special privilege and franchise
class pay practically seventv-hve per

eminent and the taxpayers pay only

ON FRUIT

That this valley will harvest not
less than 1000 carloads of fruit this
season if there is no further serious
damage) and may harvest as high as
$500 carloads of fruit, is proven
conclusively by the reports made by
the inspectors and experts who yes
terday made u pretty thorough eN-
animation of every orchard district in
the valley and who made reports last
night to Manager John Il. Moore, and
Secretary Fletcher, of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association,
and to the Chamber of Commerce.
Prof. L. +. Taylor, Prof. G. B.
Welden, the experts in horticulture,
Secretary Mahony and several other
men capable of judging the conditions
OF fruit trees and fruit buds, visited
and examined not less than 100 Or
chards throughout the valley yester-
day.
Their reports, based on these care
full investigations, show that at least
go per cent OF the fruit buds are in
excellent condition.
This means that the valley will
| have great fruit crop AID that the
'mudging system, inaugnrated in this
valley, is n wonderful success and an
invaluable protection for orchards
igainst the attacks of frost.
The report Of the experts proves
conclusively that the men who smudg-
ed and smudged in the right manner,
has saved all or the greater part Of
his crop, while the man who did not
smudge is more or less injured, and
heavy losses in unsmudged orchards
being the rule instead of the excep-
ton.
The experts recommend that the
growers lose no time in spraying their
orchards.
1t is also most earnestly urged that
every fruit grower having smudge
pots lay in an ample supply of fuel,
either coal or oil, for his pots. There
may be other heavy frosts before
the next four weeks are past and no
grower can afford to take any
chances. just now there is big sup
ply of oil in the city. In a few days
there might be n shortage. This is a
most important matter. Let no grow
err fail to make preparations to
smudge again il the necessity arises.
