Governor Haskell while serving as
chief executive Of this state, held the
opinion and publicly expressed it that
/ Oklahoma towns spend too much mon
ey in public Improvements. Every
city in Oklahoma Is striving 10 be the
most important city in its section Of
the state and the pride Of the people
in their individual towns often leads
them 10 spend more money for ce-
ment walks and paved streets and
other public Improvements than they
are able 20 spend. one Of the direct
results Of this expenditure Of money
is the withdrawal from the state Of
some Of the loan companies that have
been loauing money on city realty.
The companies that have withdrawn
state that the special taxes are too
high 10 make their business as safe
as il should be. Towns and cities
should adopt the same plan Of making
Improvements that individuals do.
When the money can be spent with
out depicting the purse and running
the individual then Improvements
should be made.
A house on an unpayed street with
trees and a garden Of flowers is more
attractive than a bare yard and a
treeless parkage with a paved street.
The Ladies Of the Leaf, literary
club Of this city, has begun move
ment that deserves the earnest coop
Grafton OF every citizen Of the town.
They have begun a crusade for tree
planting. Their plan is to lay out

FAvoRs RECALL FOR JUDGES.

General Isaac X. Sherwood, who
represents the ninth Ohio district in
congress with great satisfaction to his
constituents If his increased plurality
in the recent election Is an Indication,
is against the proposition to increase
the salaries of federal judges from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year. He does not
think Increased salaries Will result in
any better judicial decisions, If the
result Of Increases in the pay OF army
and cabinet officers Is guide.
Instead of increasing the salaries Of
the federal judges. General Sherwood
fayors the initiative, referendum and
lccall.
How the federal judges nave grown
into the habit Of abusing their pow
ers was set out In the striking man.
ner by the Ohio man. The Hrst Ja1I-
clal act that he criticised WAS that OF
Judge Taft in the Ann A'bos case,
which, General Sherwood says, was
condemned by all students OF poltic1i
economy and by nearly all the reform
writers and thinkers.
The general has list OF 40 cases
in which federal judges have decided
in favor OF corporations aud against
the workers In some cases he shows
the courts have even gone so far rs
to restrain wage carners from free To-
comotion and free assemblage, and, in
some instances. against giving iinan-
cial assistance to the families OF
workers striking for living wage.
The evils We complain Of" declar-
ed General Sherwood, cannot be rem
eded by raising the salaries Of judges
with the view Of securing better
judges The only remedy is to make
all judges directly amendablc to the
people and elected by the people,
with limited terms of service, and sub
ject to recall by the people"

NEWSPAPER MEN LIKE WILSON,

Woodrow Wilson, governor Of New

interviews thereafter the governor

FARMERS A UNIT AGAINST TRADE PACT
IS DISCRIMINATING TO ACR|CULT TURE

New York, Feb. 6.-The machinery
OF the National Grange, an organiz-
ton claiming membership OF 1,OOO,-
600 farmers, has been started to de-
feat the ratification by congress OF
the Canadian reciprocity treaty. The
Legislative committee OF the grange,
at a special meeting today adopted a
resolution protesting aginst the en-
actment of the reciprocity bill, called
uTon the membership to exert pres
sure upon congressman from their
various districts to vote against the
measure and decided TO go to Wash
ington TO map out campaign there.
The legislative committee Is COM
posed OF former Governor Nahum j.
Bachelder OF Concord, chairman;
Aaron Jones OF South Bend, Ind, and
r. G. Atkeson Of Morgantown, w. Va.
As soon as the terms of the proposed
treaty became public, they exchanged
kilograms, agreed upon New York as
a meeting place, and left their homes
without delay to head off any possi-
bic campaign that might be started
for the bills enactment.
Not Opposed to Lower Tariff.
I'VE are not opposed to general
reduction of the tariff" Mr.. Atkeson
said, but we are opposed to any ar
rangement which will make fish OF
one industry and flesh of another Re
garding the tariff, yes, but do it all at
once, and not by reciprocal treaty
with a country which exports agri-
cultural products exclusively.
Remove the tariff an steel and iron
and manufactured articles along with
farm products, and We won't object.
But we don't think it fair to compel
the farmers to compete with foreign
products and allow the manufacturers
to derive the benefit of high pro
tectiye tariff.
Acting along these lines, We have
decided to oppose the enactment of
the bill. The committee issued a
statement this afternoon which will
be sent to every one of the 1900 |
oranges in the organization, Each OF
these has membership of from 80 |
- 1000 farmers.
We shall ask every member to !
write his representative in congress
urging him to vote against the bill.
ner, but We are not going to take
any chances, and the committee has
decided to go to Washington and work
for that end"
In its statement the committee says
that, acting in response to thousands
o. letters and kilograms urging 1t to
protect the farmers interests, the fol-
lowing protest is issued:
The undersigned. representing the
principal organization OF farmers in
the United States, earnestly protest
against the enactment OF the Cana
dian reciprocity bill now pending in
congress for the following reasons:
Canadian Competition Feared.
1.-THE bill provides for the admis.
sion free OF duty OF all Canadian farm
products. Since Canada is the only
country from which any considerable
quantity OF these products can under
my circumstances be imported, this
would result in practically free trade

while putting farm products on
the free list, the reciprocity bill
makes no material reduction in the
high tariff rates on all the manufact-
u'ed articles the farmer buys, and
therefore gives no relief from the
heavy burden of taxation imposed by
these duties.
'3-The theory on which our pro-
tective policy has always been defend
ed is that all classes and interests
are equally entitled to protection. The
farmer, however, receive much less
protection than the manufacturers,
for while farm products are taxed on
the average about 25 per cent manu-
factured articles are taxed on an aver
age of about 45 per cent.
"4-The enactment of the Canadian
reciprocity bill would still further dis
criminate against the farmers by abol.
lshing the comparatively slight pro-
lection now given them, while leaving
the high protective duties on manufac-
lures practically untouched.
"5-The Canadian farmers. by rea-
son Of their lower general tariff and
their preferential trade arrangements,
can buy manufactured goods at lower
prices than those private from this
country. The prices of farm lands in
Canada are also much lower than in
the United States. These conditions
give the Canadian farmers an advan-
tage over us and the free admission
of their products will submit us to
unfair competition.

We hold that the farmers should
receive exactly the same measure of
purotection as is given manufatcur.
ers and that there must be no reduc-
tion of duties on farm products, eth
er by reciprocity or tariff revision,
unless the duties on all manufactured
articles are at the same time cores
pondingly reduced.
TO show that this reciprocity |
measure is not an honest effort to re-
duce the cost OF living in the inter-
ests of the consumer, 1t is sufficient
to point out that while wheat is on
the free list, flour is taxed 80 cents
per barrel, and that while cattle,
sheep and hogs are free, meats, both
fresh and cured are taxed IA cents
per pound for the benefit of the meat

DR.. Tunhell was sitting II the dis

the other day, when a woman enter
ed, looking as if she were much in
need of physicians services. The
physician looked at her, and decided
what the trouble was. He sought to
get the history of the case. The wo-
man replied in the negative TO all his
questions, and then mumbled some
thing in a tongue that DR.. Tunnel
took to be Italian.
After striving for fifteen minutes
to get something from her the doctor
sent for an interpreter and told him
to tell the women that if she wished
to be admitted to the hospital she
would have to give her name and the
history of her ailment. After listen
ing to the mans explanations she
looked at him, smiled, and said:
