THE Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce asks
for suggestions with regard 10 a proposed revision
and extension Of the statistical classification OF imports
and exports"
Two suggestions come readily to mind with respect
to statistics appearing In what known the Monthly
summary OF Foreign Commerce Of the United States

our leading imports and exports given by countries
several being named with amounts from those countries
given and the list closing with "other countries"
much For instance having before the statistics for
the last calendar year A9i7 per cent Of our colors
and dyes by value nearly 70 per cent OF our laces
nearly % per Of 30 cent OF our hats
30 per cent OF cattle hides 10 per cent OF our lead
almost hal our betting and sole leather. 90 per
cent OF our cigar wrapper tobacco, is cent Of our
leaf 20 per cent OF our wool cloths etc, shown

Mr.. Carter is candidate again
for the office of state auditor hav-
ing been defeated by f. B. Howard
by S5l votes four years ago. This
year it is probable that he will be
unopposed for the place, and will
be the only candidate for the nomi-
nation at the Democratic primaries.
MIR. Carter is professional &C
countant, having followed this work
all his life until failing health de-
manded that he have outdoor em-
ployment. when he sought the OF
flee of sheriff of Tillman county.
and was elected and served from
1907 TO 1913. He was also sergeant
at arms of the fourth and sixth Ok
lahoma legislature.
Southern Oklahoma is very favor
able to the candidacy of Mr.. Carter
for state auditor, knowing him to be
amply qualified for the work and
at the same time possessing very
definite familiarity with Oklahoma
and its resources and conditions. A
native Texan, he has lived in Okla
homa for many years and has al
ways discharged his official duties
with satisfaction and honor and the
fact that he is not opposed for the
nomination is ample evidence of the
high esteem in which he is held by
his party and the people of the state.
