CONGRESS IS

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM REVISED
so AS TO HASTEN END OF sEs-
SiON-ALL ANXIETY.

Washington. D. G., June lS.-Goot
news is in store for the country, but
can IL be true. Current rumor says
but whisper il. little one, in accents
OF suppressed excitement-that con
gress will adjourn on June %. one
week hence. Senate leaders conferred
with house leaders and revised the
senate legislative program. Plans per
fected include:
The statehood bill was made the
unfinished business" Immediately
upon the passage Of the land with
drawal bill
The conference report on the rail
road bill is to be called up, however
and pending disposition OF it the state.
hood bill temporarily will be laid
aside.
Postal savings bank legislation was
forced aside by the new order, but the
agreement provides for its considera.
tion soon.
In connection with consideration OF
the railroad bill conference report it
is expected that several brief speeches
will be made during which western
senators viii. discuss the long and
short haul provision. Senator New
lands, the minority member of the CON
ference committee, will oppose the
adoption of the report.
The arrangement or formal under
standing that the senate would concur
in the house amendments to the pos
tai bank bill was contingent upon the
adoption of the statehood bill.
The action of the senate in adopting
the bill for the issuance of certificates
OF Indebtedness to furnish money to
complete reclamation projects as an
amendment to the land withdrawal bill
caused western senators to express
fear that it might encounter obstacles
in conferences. This fear was based
upon statements that the house was
opposed TO the reclamation measure.

SMALL GRAIN CROP

Wapanucka, Okla, June 1S.-What
is pronounced to be the greatest
wheat and oat crop ever raised in
this section of the state is now be-
ing harvested by the farmers. Wheat
harvesting has been completed ard
the crop will average full 20 bushels
of this great farming section and
moving down the golden oat fields
of this great farmisg section and
the work is attended with fine, fait
weather.
The oat crop is unusually large
and will average from 40 to 10G

The corn and cotton crops were
never better and everything points
to a bumper harvest all along the

VETERANS LOST OUT
THEY WERE TOO OLD
CONGRESSMAN SHERWOOD OF
OHIO ANGRY BECAUSE VETER-
ANS ARE DISCHARGED.

Washington. June 1S.-It was a
sad day for 400 old soldiers when they
were turned out OF government posi-
tons because they were too old.
None of the Washington papers made
any mention of the fact that they
were among the last sad remnant
OF that great army that saved the
union between 1861 and 1865.
But such is the fact, and in antic-
ipation OF the cold-blooded executive
order an appropriation of 5000 was
/ recently made by congress for an
emergency home for the unfortu-
nate old comrades, where they can
get scanty fare and a narrow bed
until kind friends can take them
away
1t seems these old veterans, all
faithful and full Of fidelity to their
public duties, were dismissed TO
make places for younger men, who,
in addition to their clerical duties,
can go out into the states during
political campaigns and do active
work for the party in power Several
OF these old veterans have visited
my office to borrow money to get
away to distant friends.
There is plenty of money, how
ever, for useless battleships-s3 j.
100000 just voted out of the treasury
in a single bill. There is also plenty
of money to increase the pay of Off
GERS in the regular army, not two
per cent of whom ever saw any
battle service. Not less than 10000,
900 extra pay was voted the officers
and men in increased salaries.
Not less than S10,O0OOOO was also
added for increased salaries of post
masters, who are heavy contributors
to the political campaigns.
The motto of those who rule IS
millions for a vast army of political
parasites, while the white-haired sol
diers are booted into the street

PRESIDENT TAFT
HELPS STATEHOOD
URGES IN 4 LETTER TO SPEAKER
CANNON That HOUSE ACCEPT
SENATE BILL.

Washington, June lS.-Presideni
TAFT today took Il hand in the statehood
fight when he, according 10 congress
men in touch with the house leaders,
wrote a letter TO Speaker Cannon urs-
ing that the house accept the senate
statehood bill and thus save 1t from
the danger Of failing in conference.
The text Of President Tafts letter
to Speaker Cannon has not been made
public. but # is understood that the
president in his earnest efforts 70 OBJ
tain the passage Of the statehood bill
wrote very frankly on the subject.
The version current at the capitol
is that Speaker Cannon was told that
the house ought TO concur in the sen
ate amendments and not let the bill
go to conference.
The president, It is said, gave 1t as
his opinion that the senate bill is bet
ter than the house Bill and said that
he thought the people OF New Mexico
and Arizona would be 50 grateful to
the republican party for this boon Of
statehood that they would probably
carry the new state for the republi-
cans.
The leayen OF this letter was imme-
diately noticeable on the republican
side OF the chamber. with the result
that many republicans who were first
inclined to send the bill TO conference
and let ii take its chances there, with
out caring much whether 1t ever came
out Of conference, are now In favor OF
accepting the senate amendmea's Al
thought the democrats are opposed to
some OF the sections OF the senate iii,
they probably will vote to accept the
senate measure.
IL the senate bill is accepted, the
two states can be kept out of the union
for two and one-half years
The bill also abrogates the Arizona
educational tests for voters in the mat
ter OF electing delegates to the const-
tutional convention, ratifying the con
stitution and voting for the first set Of
state officers The bill also requires
the approval OF congress and the pres
ident Of any constitution which either
territory may adopt. The bill also
sets aside 100000 acres of land to
pay off certain debts incurred by the
counties OF the territories.
