WOULD PAY CONVICT
WAGES TO FAMILY

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 25.-John H.
Wallace, member of the state indus
trial insurance commission of Wash
ington, announced at the annual con-
vention Of the State Federation of
Labor in Spokane that concerted ef-
fort will be made at the next session
of the legislature to pass law, de-
signed to protect the families of men
sentenced to the penitentiary. The
idea is to change the present system,
under which the felon works for the
state to atone for his wrong-doing, so
that his earnings will go to the wife
and children, left at home and fire.
quently destitute and in want.
The delegates expressed their ap-
proval of the plan, and, while no for
NAL action was taken by the organiza-
tion as a body, it is likely that cam
paign will be launched in short time
to crystalline the idea into a measure,
which will be submitted to the state
legislature at its biennial session early
next January.
H. L. Thomason of Standpoint, Idaho,
a delegate at the yearly meeting of
the Pacific Northwest Hardware and
Implement Dealers association, inter-
ested many visitors from various parts
of the Pacific slope and intermountain
country in plan to have the federal
government assist in clearing logged
off lands in the west. He said:
THE cost of clearing cut-over tim
ber land is high and on that account
lit is difficult to induce settlers and
prospective homebuilders to go into
the districts. The government makes
large appropriations for the opening
of rivers and the reclamation of lands,
as it should, and we who live in the
timber districts think it also should
give similar aid in the clearing of val
uable lands now studded with stum9s
but adapted to the highest form of ag-
riculture. 1t would benefit the entire
country and provide low-priced lands
for thousands now crowded in cities.

COUNTY ASSESSORS
LAW SUSTAINED
Judge odfeld Denies Injunction
Against Newly Created County
Office.

The county assessor law is duly and
legally adopted and not in violation of
the constitution, according to a ruiz
ing in the test case Of J. 0. Gray
against ]. G. Frazier by Judge Oldfeld
of the superior court. Gray, the town
ship assessor of Spring Creek town
ship, Oklahoma county, filed a petition
asking that Frazier be enjoined from
proceeding with the duties of the coun-
ty assessorship to which he was ap-
pointed by Governor Cruce.
1t was alleged that the law was in
violation of the constitution in that it
undertook to deprive the township as
SCISSORS of the emoluments of their
Office without due process of law. 1t
was alleged that the law would oper-
ate to charge the taxpayers with dou-
bic fees for the collection of taxes, as
it provides for a collection fee by the
county assessor and a former statute
provides for a collection of fees by the
township assessors, which it is claim
ed may be collected until the terms oi

HEARS RUMORS
OF ROOSEVELT
Colonel Wrote: "It's About Time
Made a Statement."-Wyoming
and Michigan Turn to Him.

Washington, Jan. 25.-There is a ru-
NOR in Washington that President Taft
and all of his White House workers
believe that Colonel Roosevelt will ac-
cept the nomination for president
should the Chicago convention NOM
mate him. 1t is said that letters writ
ten to Missouri politicians by Colonel
Roosevelt have come into the posses
sion of the Taft workers and that these
letters make it plain to the admins
tration that Roosevelt will not decline
the nomination if it comes. These ru-
mors cannot be certified.
It is known, however. that there is
letter in existence signed by Roose-
welt in which he says; "I think it is
about time that make statement re-
garding the presidential nomination" /"
That would indicate that there may
be something definite known as to
Colonel Roosevelt's position within a
few days. Just how long "it is about
time" means, there is no one able to
guess, but the majority of the politi-
clans seem to think that everything
will be made clear by the end of the
present week.
The political atmosphere is tense.
Rumors and counter rumors are going
about, most of them without a particle
of foundation. Every straw that floats
in is magnified to a tree trunk. The

NEW LIQUOR BILL
TO Be INITIATED

Oklahoma City, Jan. 25. - Former
Mayor Frank Stearns of Shawnee,
heading the loca4 option and high Ii
cense movement, yesterday filed new
petition with Secretary of State Har-
rison, replacing the one abandoned
several days ago, seeking to repeal
statewide prohibition as provided in
the constitution, and placing the IL
quor traffic under the control of the
legislature.
The only changes made in the bill
were to add an enacting clause, which
was omitted before, and to make the
periods between elections four, in
stead of two years. Thus, if district
or county votes wet" or dry" the
question cannot be resubmitted for
four years.
Stearns said yesterday that the Fort
Smith case, upon which the circuit
court of appeals declared that Indian
Territory must remain dry for per-
iod of twenty-one years, has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
United States and a decision is ex-
pected by March. In event the SUI
preme court sustains the lower court,
the bill will be relied to conform to it.
The federal regulation, the persons
back of the option movement say,
would apply only to shipments from
other states into Oklahoma, assuming
that the law of 1897 still is in effect.
Abandonment of the recent bill,
Stearns said, was due to the absence
of legal construction of the circuit
courts opinion, in the light of which
Indian Territory people declined to
support a bill which would give 'bev-
erages" to but half the state.
A. L. Walker of Waurika has been
made secretary of the organization in
place of C. H. Hiney of Oklahoma City
Being constitutional amendment, the
petitions require about $4,000 sigma

WANTS DAMAGES
AGAINST LODGE

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 25.-Henry A.
Francisco of Spokane, wants $4,000
damages from the local lodge of the
Loyal Order of Moose as balm for
chafging him with insanity. In an ac-
tion filed in the Spokane county SUI
perior court yesterday he alleges that
the visiting committee of the lodge,
of which he is member, instituted a
charge of insanity against him last
August, following an illness of four
weeks in June and July, 1911, and that
he was discharged at a hearing after
being examined by county and other
experts. Francisco says in his COM
plant that the action of the lodge has
injured his reputation an das result
he is unable to secure employment and
is made the target of ridicule and

sickness he was engaged as foreman
of construction on several important
works; but since then, he says, he has

Washington, Jan. 25.--Publication
by the president of every written or
verbal endorsement of candidates for
all federal judeships from the supreme
court down, prior to the appointment

An attempt by Mr. Mann to attach
an amendment increasing all district
judges salaries from $4,000 to $1,000
was defeated.
Chairman Clayton of the house ju.

amendment declared that federal
judges had been generously dealt with
in being given the opportunity to re
tire with full pay at the age of 70 years
