troduced bills in congress requiring
the secretary of the interior to offer
these lands in smaller tracts. Sena-
tor Cores bill provides that the tim
Der lands shall be offered in tracts not
to exceed $40 acres and permits any
farmer to have any particular quarter
section offered for sale separately up
on filing a written statement that he
desires to purchase such quarter for
agricultural purposes. This would
help the farmers and prevent a trust.
Dry Farming and Irrigation.
AS counterpart of this service to
the eastern section of the state, SEN
ator Gore has secured favorable re-
port on his amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill, which will if
passed, result in the establishment of
dry farming station in western Ok
lahoma. and also in experiment and
tests by the secretary of agriculture,
as to the feasibility of irrigation in
western Oklahoma.
Indian Appropriation Bill.
A hard fight is on in respect to the
Indian appropriation bill The Okla
homa delegation is trying to adopt a
policy that will wind up Indian affairs
in Oklahoma and permit the depart
ment of interior finally to with draw
from the state. The department in
sists, however, upon policy that will
continue a large number of federal
employees and delay the day of final
settlement. The senate Indian COM
mittee is inclined to decide with the
department, but the Oklahoma dele
cation is still confident of large
measure of success.
Patent Monopoly.
The recent decision of the supreme
court to the effect that the seller of
a patented machine or article could
require the purchaser of the machine
to purchase supplies from the seller
of the machine, not only, creates by
monopoly an absolute patent monopoly
but if carried to it's fullest extent, the
business of the country would soon
be absolutely controlled and dominat-
ed by monopolies fortified by patents.
To meet this situation, Congressman
Oldfield of Arkansas in the house and
Senator Gore in the senate, have in
troduced bills in accordance with Chief
Justice Whites dissenting opinion
which would render unlawful all such
contracts and which would prevent
the seller of patented machines and
articles from establishing an ironclad
monopoly in the supplies necessary
for the operation of such patented ma
chimes. The trusts of the country are
raising furor of opposition to the
proposed legislation. The final result
is as yet uncertain.

The date of the state bar examina-

In 1904 when Roosevelt was charged
with receiving financial support from
the trusts he branded the charge as a
lie. Later the Hartman disclosures
showed that at the time Roosevelt
made the denial he held checks of the
interests amounting to $262,000. A
month ago when it was alleged that the
International Harvester company was
supporting the candidacy of Roosevelt
he promptly answered that the charge
was false. But when the expense ac-
count of his campaign in New York
county was filed it showed a contribu-
ton of $4,000 from the president to
the International.
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1912-05-03

The burning issue of the past dozen
years has been substantial revision
of the tariff downward The county
demands this. For three years Taft
has failed to give the country what it
demands. For seven and half years
Roosevelt failed to give the country
its desire. Neither makes any men
ton of the real issue in the present
malodorous campaign. Both content
themselves with personal attacks upon
their opponent. The tariff will never
be revised by a republica nadministra-
ton. The election of either Taft or
Roosevelt will mean the unconditional
surrender of all the hosts of reform.

Stanley j. Clark the socialist leader
who has been suspended by his party
organization charged with embezzle-
ment, is the man who recently offered
to give hundred dollars to any demo-
crat or republican who would meet
him in debate at Pauls Valley. If he
does not reform and get his fingers
under better control he will have to
increase his offer. 1t is too bad that
he has to pay such a sum in order to
get into the society of gentlemen. But
then it is worth at least hundred
dollars to have to spend two hours in
the presence of such man as Stanley
Clark.

When the charge was made month
ago that the International Harvester
company was supporting the candidacy
of Roosevelt the charge was emphati-
cally denied by the ex-president. But
last week when the expense account
of the Roosevelt committee in New
York county was filed it showed a con-
tribution of $4,000 made by Geo. w.
Perkins, president of the International.
The total expense of the Roosevelt
campaign in New York was s59,126.75,
as compared with an expense of $5,-

Roosevelt complains that Taft stole
