LETTER TO GovERNoR-ELEcT

Ardmore, Okla, Dec. 80, 1914.
Hon. X. l.. Williams, Gov.-Elect,
Oklahoma City, Okla.
MY DEAR SIR:
Foreboding good from your admin
istration, that wrongs will be righted,
injuries corrected, interests of the
state placed along lines of economic
honesty, the laws and judgments of
courts, executed, and that you will
deliver the people from unnecessary
waste and unnecessary burdens of
debt and taxation, permit this brief
reference to land, homes and tenan-
try.
This generation should conserve
soil values for succeeding ones. I'm
der the present system of farming and
tenantry, especially in eastern Okla
homa, there is ineXcusable waste and
depreciation of soil values. This evil
can be overcome, only by tenants be-
coming land owners. The man who
follows farming, should be his own
landlord, and he could be, under wise
and enlightened laws.
Owners of land in excess of 100
acres, should be given five years in
which to dispose of their surplus;
failing or refusing to do this, the ex-
cess should be taken over by the
state at fair valuation, state bonds
issued therefor, bearing four per cent
interest, non-taXable, and payable at
discretion within twenty years. Such
lands should be sold by the state to
home builders only-small farmers
on long time and at low rate of in
terest Such famers would protect
soil values and develop the great
agricultural resources of the state.
Conservation of soil values is TOr-
thy of profound consideration. AS a
land owner, | have made consistent
efforts to sell land on most favorable
terms to purchasers, but without IA
vorable results, attributable, as / be-
leve, to some civic conditions and
taxation exploitation.
Restricted Indian lands should be
limited to a selected homestead of for
ty acres for each Indian, and the In
dian taught the art of husbandry. All
surplus in excess of forty acres should
be sold to bona fide farmers, and in
terest accumulations paid to the In
dans entitled thereto. In the absence
of such laws and regulations, restrict
ed lands should be rented to actual
farmers for period of say ten years,
rentals to be collected by the depart
ment and paid to the Indians quarter
ly. A farmer with ten-year lease
would be fixed with home for def
mite period, and he would take care of
the property and prevent waste of
soil values. Such waste is deplorable,
and later, time and much money will
be required to restore fertility.
Every man in Oklahoma who pays
taxes, and is interested in the vel
fare of the state, is vitality interested
in these subjects.
Being law maker, jurist, and states
man, all these conditions will grow
better under your wise administra
tion, and Oklahoma can become the
land of milk and honey.
Make home owners of all tenant
farmers, and the state will rapidly
become the land of contentment,
peace, righteousness and prosperity.
Yours truly,
c. r. SMITH.
