Passing Of Council House at okmuI-
gee, Okla, Is an Event of
Much Significance.

Forty-one years ago the Creek In
dams built the council house which
they now sell to the city of Okmul-
gee, Okla, for 100000, thus perform
ing their last act as nation. The
council house was built nine or ten
years after the tribe had adopted a
written constitution, and was the CEN
ter of Creek government, under the
United States, until 1906, when Okla
homa became a state, and the tribal
government of the Creeks passed over
into government by state and federal
authority. Something less than CEN
fury ago the Creeks emigrated from
Alabama after ceding their lands to the
United STATES, and were compensated
by holdings in the new territory whose
then unsupported richness in oil aft
erward made the emigrants a rich In
dian nation. The experiment in self
government, however, was only a par
tial success; and now, with the sale
of its council house, the Greek nation
finally disappears. says Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

May Hear All Labor Bills Together.

TO effect consideration Of all wage
Cancellation bills at one time, the jul
dietary committee postponed the gen.
eral hearing on the Nolan bill, support
ed by Governor Phillip. Assemblyman
Knappe asked that a hearing be
scheduled so that the state federation
bill may be heard at the same time
Inquiries by Chairman Nolan
brought out that labor men in the leg
islature want measure modelled af.
ter the federal war Cancellation act.
William Kelly, Madison federationist,
said the war board had accomplished
good results. He insisted that the la
Dor member of the Cancellation board
be member of the federation. Chair
man Nolan said he supposed the gov
ernor would appoint this member from
organized labor, but he was opposed to
making it statutory requirement as
long as the organizations include only
10 per cent of the labor of the state.

Hope to Get 5,ooo,ooo Allowance.

The committees on finance and high
ways held their first joint conference
to study problems in raising money so
that the state may avail itself of the
federal appropriation Of $5,O00,OO0.
Little sentiment for direct state tax
was expressed.
The proposal was advanced to in
crease the automobile license from $40
to $40 annually. Some members OPP
posed a fiat rate in case the licenses
were advanced, holding a graduated
scale up to $40 or $50 should be
adopted for more expensive cars. A
fiat $40 tax would raise about 81, OOO,-
600 annually
1t appears likely that the counties
will be asked to raise an amount equal
to that of the state, which will pro-
duce $15,OOO,OOO. With the sum the
state now has on hand total of $21,-
100000 will be available in the next
three years for highway Improvement.

Marketing Bills Are in Danger.

Members of the lower house are
troubled over the marketing situation.
No measure has as yet been worked
out and there is a possibility that ac-
ton may go by the boards. Two bills
are now pending before the legisla-
tnre. One would create a department
of marketing within the bureau of ag-
riculture and the other would merge
the work of the dairy and food depart
ment within a new marketing comis-
sion. Members frankly stated that
they desired time to discuss the ques-
ton with their friends.

Measure to Aid Rural Education.

A big step toward the solution of the
rural school problem, which, next to
the salaries of state teachers is the
greatest educational question before
the present legislature, has been taken
in the senate by the Introduction of
bill to create county school boards
in every county in the state.
The bill was offered by the commit
tee on education and public welfare,
and it proposes to create county school
boards of five members each, to be ap-
pointed in July, 1919, by the county
chairman and elected thereafter for
periods of five years.
1t is provided that the board shall
have power to regulate and direct the
educational welfare of the entire coun-
ty, with the exception of such portions
as come under the jurisdiction Of spe-
cial city school boards.
The questions of consolidation, sal
aries, courses of study and transpor
tation in the rural districts will be
taken care of by the county boards.
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
|C. P. Cary has approved Of the bill,
thus giving it the support of the edu-
cational department of the state.
No interference with the present law
relating to the election, qualifications,
power and duties of the county school
superintendent is intended in the bill.
It does, however, empower each county
board to fix the salary of the county
superintendent. 1t will be the duty of
the superintendent to nominate super
vising teachers and the board will con-
firm his appointments.

Likely to Boost Jurors Fees.

There is every indication that the
legislature will pass the bill offered
by Assemblyman Petersen of Mari
nette increasing the fee of jurors from
So to 81 a day. This measure would
apply to. all jurors in all the courts Of
the state. The bill was unfavorably
recommended in the house, but when
it came up for consideration it was
passed by the assembly with only a
few scattering votes in opposition. In
asmuch as the measure is of state
wide Importance it will have more
than local interest.

May Increase Income Taxes.

There is bare possibility that the
Wisconsin legislature may find it nee
essary to increase the income tax rates
of the state in order to produce sufi-
Gent revenues to meet growing state
expenses. 1t now seems probable that
there will be a state tax. The in
creased demands for highway con-
struction and the call from the chart
table and penal institutions of the
state for more buildings and improve
ments indicate that it may be impos-
sible to avoid state tax, as has been
done for several years past.

Regional Director
Bush Predicts Bumper
Wheat Crop This Year

Regional Director Bush of the
southwestern region is out with
letter in which he anticipates
1000, 100000 bushel wheat crop this
year. Last year the crop aggregated
900000,000 and taking present pros
poets as the basis for making his
estimate, Mr.. Bush is of the opinion
that the yield this year will be fully
l00000,000 bushels greater than last
Anticipating the enormous crop
CT wheat, Mr.. Bush is urging upon
farmers i'll Nebraska and other
states the Importance of providing
storage facilities for their grain. He
calls attention to the fact that there
is no necessity for rushing the
wheat to the market as soon as
threshing is finished. The govern
ment has fixed the maximum price
to be paid for the 1919 crop and
consequently there will be little, if
any fluctuation. The only possible
ty of any increase over the set
price will be in instances where
millers will be forced to buy wheat
to take care of their immediate
wants. He is of the opinion that
these instances will be rare.
