COMPLAIN Of SALE
TO LAND AGENTS
School Land Lesses' Union Makes
Protest to State Board of Commits
sioners Against Present Rule.

Oklahoma City, July S1-C. H.
Hyde, representing the school land
lessees' union, who appeared before
the state board of land commissioners
to protest against the rules that per-
mitted the purchase of land by agents
and the rule that reliyes the Lessee of
his preference right to buy the land
in case he does not elect to take It at
the appraisement, there being no bid
for the property issued the following
statement on behalf of the lessees.
1T is contended by the lessees that
as the law specifically mentions that
the lessee can be represented by agent
it implies that only those mentioned
have that privilege, and it is claimed
that the enabling act gives the lessee
the right to buy the land at the high
est bid and unless there is bid ON
hand the lessee does not have a chance
to exercise his preference right There
fore, he can not have waived his right
until he has had a chance to exercise
1t.
"As citizens of the state l think We
should object to allowing bidders to be
represented by agents; it is home
builders that the state needs, not land
Iowners; if they allow the people t.
bid through agents it is possible tina
through dummies or men that viii
never move on the land, speculator
will buy a large part of the land. 4
lspeculator never helps develop th'
countryl it is always the residents
and we certainly do not want to Sc
any rich corporation buy large tract
of this land; if a ma nintends to bu
land for a home he will always wan
to inspect it before he buys.
"Since the two questions are of col
siderable Importance to the lessee,
suit will be necessary to test th
boards rules. The first four sales tn
state held its rules did not contain th
foregoing, and the last sales were pra
: tically all town lots, SO they affecte
/ but few lessees.
"The rule governing the preferent
right affects 2S9 lessees whose lar
was offered for sale last fall, ar
wherein no one would bid the apprais
ment. To show that in some of the
! cases the appraisement was wrong,
/ a number of counties the appraiseme
= was reduced from 10 to so per cent.
= recall one case in particular, in Mob
it county where the 1908 appraiseme
: was $4,000, but the land would n
d sell for that figure, and the rece
(. appraisement approved by the co
n missioners is $3.60O In a case Ii
e that, of course, no one would conte
d that the lessee had lost his preferen
d right because he refused to take t
.e land at the appraisement.'

Washington, D. G, July S1.-Gen-
eral tariff legislation at this session Of
congress, so as to leave the response
pility for any delay in tariff revision
souarely upon the president, is the
slogan of the democratic progressive"
coalition in the senate and the demo-
Gratis in the house The president is
accredited with being as determined
as ever to veto any tariff bill passed
prior to the submission of the report
of the tariff board to congress at the
regular session in December Mean
time the democrats, continuing to press
their revision measures are wonder
ing what the president will do when
the wool bill, emerging fro mconfer-
ence with lower duties than the La Fol
lette final compromise, goes to the
White House for approval or veto.
It is the most remarkable situation
with respect to tariff legislation that
has arisen in a long period. Despite
the apparent authoritative declarations
that the president will refuse to place
his approval on the tariff bills, some
of the democrats, even Speaker Clark
still express the opinion that the pres
ident may yet approve revision legis
lation
The democratic leaders, encouraged
bv the effective results of the combina
ton of their party with the insurgen
republicans in the senate, are becom
ing more confident that the tarif
schedules passed by the house will g
through in the senate in some form.
This is the way the government out
look stands today:
The wool tariff revision will be il
conference early in the week.
A compromise measure on the basi
of 80 per cent ad valorem on raw voc
will be reported out, probably Tn
combined democratic-insurgent reput
lican forces are confident it will ru
the gauntlet of both houses and be tn
first reyisio nmeasure to go to tn
president as the test of his veto di'
position.
The cotton tariff revision bill will b
passed by the house Thursday.
necessary, Democratic Leader Unde
wood will arbitrarily shut off debat
on that day. Though by no means ce
tain the coalition senator's and tn
house democrats are moderately hop
ful that the bill will go through I'll
senate. Some senators are insisteI
that hearings should be held on it b
fore 1t is put to vote. The amendmen
that were at first contemplated in co
nection with the measure T
lating to sugar, steel, rubber, etc.
will be offered as riders to the cote
bill when it comes up in the senate

Van der Neer of the Water Users
association is still the custodian of
a number of rolls of historic blankets
which in the year 1911 were sent to
Roosevelt for the use of the official
party on the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the Roosevelt dam. Some of
these blankets are supposed to be val
liable for the purpose of sleeping on
and all of them probably have a SEN
timental value to their owners on ac-
count of the us to which they have
been put and some of the owners may
desire to keep them as family heir
looms In that event it would be well
for the owners TO send after them
as soon as convenient, before the
warm weather breaks out for sure
and Mr.. Van der Veer% is overcome
with a desire to outfit a camping
party to the north pole.

NEW STEWARD NAMED-Tom
Trevillian of Globe has been appointed
by the territorial board of control to
the position of steward of the asylum
for the insane. Mr.. Trevillian has
lived in Arizona from childhood and
is one of the rising young men of
ella county. He has served his coun-
~ as deputy assessor and was a can
didate for the legislature on the re-
publican ticket at the last election.
Though he was defeated by something
like half hundred votes he made a
run considering the political
complexion of that county, where a
republican nomination is almost equal
to martyrdom. Mr.. Trevillian Is re-
garded as very capable man for the
position to. which he has been APP
pointed and as former purchasing
agent for the Old Dominion Mining
he has had experience that
should aid him materially i'm the
