Delightful,

In striking speech at Yesterdays 8
noon-day Commercial club luncheon
in Hotel Tulsa r. l.. Davidson. state
senator-elect from Tulsa and Wash
ington counties, declared that I'm tho
coming session Of the legislature he
would devote more time to opposing
bad legislation than in initiating new
and untrlcd measures.
The sincere legislator" he said,
will demand a reduction in the
number of laws rather than an in
crease"
The luncheon was attended by 200
men. Members Of the Apollo club

recent Trades Conference In Mem

gate from Tulsa. lie said that sew
eral prominent Tulsans would be
named as delegates TO a similar con-
ference that will shortly be held in
St Louis. The purpose Of these con-
feronces is to build up better trade
hat 10 ~
and the South American countries.
Mr.. Davidson dwelt at some
length upon oil and gas legislation
that probably would be enacted by the
next legislature. He predicted that
both the pipe lines and independent
producers would be placed under the
control Of the corporation commission
the same as railroads and other public
service corporations. He Contended
that the state has the legal right TO
control crude oil before it is pro-
duced He urged the enactment of
laws that would be fair to both the
pipe lines and the producers and
that would enable both to make
reasonable profit.
The speaker also declared that he
would favor good roads laws and
measure to permit the voters I'm the
various cities TO create park and
boulevard districts, under which bou-
levards and parks could be construc-
ted without the present red tape and
annoyance.

IA also true that there il much legis-

GRAIN Dust I.
EXPLOSIVE
Experts Conclude That Same Care
Should Be Used in Elevators
as in Mines.

Washington, Aug. 2S.--That the
same degree Of carr exercised in a
mine to prevent the explosion of coal
dust should be used in flour mills,
grain elevators and grain-products
factories to guard against the explo-
SION OF grain >dusts is the conclusion
reached by experts as the result Of a
cooperative investigation made by
the millers Of the country and the
United States Bureau of Mines.
The milling industry in the last ten
years has been visited by a series Of
mysterious explosions costing several
hundred lives and hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars in property. The eli
max came in June, 1915, when IN ex-
plosioh in a Buffalo, N. Y, mill killed
thirty-three men and injured seventy.
The 'millers, realizing that the Bureau
OF Mines men were experts on coal
dust explosions, called upon them for
assistance in a complete investiga-
ton, in order that future catastrophes
might be avoided. David j. Price, OF
the Bureau of Mines, was assigned to
the work under the direction of DR..
George A. Hulett, chief chemist of
the bureau, and Harold H. Brown, re.
presented the millers.
Very Dangerous
The mines experts declare that all
dusts containing carbon are explosive
under certain conditions and that i'm
mediate steps should be taken to safe.
guard against such. They describe a
terrific explosion in a grain elevator
and say: "We r forced to conclude
that, if an explosion with such ter
rible force and violence could occur
at this elevator, then the grain ele-
vators Of the country are at all times
subject to the possibility of a similar
occurrence if favorable conditions ex-
list. Many milling men have main
tanned a false sense Of security, and
