GORE INTRODUCES
INDIAN MEASURES
ALFALFA BILL SHOWS UP AND
SHOWS VETERAN CONGRESS.
MEN POINTS IN LAW.

Washington, April S.-As a part OF
an elaborate scheme which he has
in mind to further improve agricul-
tural conditions in America, Senator
Gore Monday introduced a bill n
the senate providing for the estab-
lishment of a national institute OF
agriculture. This body, according lpl
the Gore plan, will consist of five,
and not more than ten, of the lead
ing agricultural experts in the
United States and will act as a
connecting link between state IN
stiultes and the International instl-
tute OF agriculture at Rome.
Through such commission Senator
Gore believes the system of world
crop reporting, which is now conduct
ed by the institute at Rome, can be
made more effective and American
marketing conditions greatly I'M
proved.
Senator Gore, as chairman of the
senate committee on agriculture,
has many other important schemes
in mind which he believes Will
greatly improve conditions under
which the American farmer is labor
ing.
Continues Indian Fight.
That Senator Gore intends to con-
tinue his fight for the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations, provision for
which was stricken from the last
Indian appropriation bill was indi-
Gated Monday when he introduced a
bill on the Subject Senator Gore $
measure provi.es for 800 payment
and he will use his best efforts Ia
obtain early action. An attempt Will
also be made to tack the provision
on to the Indian appropriation bill
but as such provision always i
subject to a point of order, there
is not much chance Of obtaining the
payment except through a separate
measure.
alfalfa Bill Murray was the cen
tral figure in two sensations in the
house when it convened Monday. He
created the first ripple of excite
ment when he appeared among his
fellow members of the Oklahom;
delegation wearing a pair of trous
ers so carefully creased they re
sembled those worn by the creates
of Beau Brummels. Now it is opinet
this generally credited Murray care
not "doggone" for style. That
why he was the victim of mucl
chatting at the hands of his col
leagues.
Murray "some" ParIiamentarian'
Alfalfa Bill created the secon
stir when, after the house ha
wrangled for two hours over a par
liamentary tangle, he rose to his fee
and showed the veteran congress
men they did not know much abou
parliamentary law anyway. He sug
gested a way out of the darkness an
was upheld by Speaker Clark, VIII
even went so far as to overrule hi
own son, Bennett Champ Clark, VIII
, was made parliamentarian OF tn
; house.
