-he men who were elected last fall as repre-
sentatiyes Of the people of their respective
counties, get down to brass tacks and do
some real work
There is plenty to be done There is
lots that should be done. The statute books
OF this state are burdened today with count
less sections which have either been repealed
outright or repealed by implication, through
adjudication of the appellate courts. If the
legislature does nothing else this session, it
will have done something in the interests of
the general constituency if it will enact some
sort of a section which will eliminate all this
dead wood from the chief law book of Okla
homa.
Brought down to the finest point, reduced
to the lowest possible minimum, the people
of Oklahoma expect something from its leg
islature, and it is time for that something to
be delivered.

EVENTLESS EVENT EVENTUATE.

The Ardmoreites special correspondent
at Oklahoma City, the chap with the Argus
eyes and facie typewriter, wrote a whole
encyclopedia Friday when he stated that the
day at the legislature was day filled with
events but without event.
Had he have written whole reams Of flat
cap, had he have transcribed words enough
TO have made enough volumes to have loaded
down the shelves of every Carnegie Library
in the state of Oklahoma to full capacity, he
could not have more thoroughly have told of
how the lawmakers of this great state are
playing politics and getting nowhere, in point
of worthwhile legislation
Thousands of dollars worth of time has
already been wasted in useless debate rela-
tive to the passage of the emergency appro-
priation bill, and still more thousands of dol
lars worth of time, time valuable to the tax
payers of the state will be frittered away in
further debating this measure, which public
necessity demands shall ultimately be passed.
Taken collectively the house and senate,
as a legislative body, has done little. Taken
separately, the senate has accomplished some
good, while the house has gone upon record
as being composed of membership each in
dividual of whom has tackled Job which
is too big for him. AS result we may eX-
pect. when this general assembly shall have
adjourned, sine die, to find conglomeration
of useless legislation recorded in the jour
nals while the statute books of Oklahoma
will be burdened, we fear, with heterogene-
Gus mass of worthless laws which will, as
fast as they come before the supreme court,
be Knocked into seven kinds of cooked hats.
II seems to us that the legislature of
Oklahoma, especially the lower house of that
organization. has fooled away enough time,
has spent enough days filled with eventless
events and that the time is now at hand
when partisan politics should be forgotten, or

would be swept from the ocean, as nation,
while the cultural notes of Deutschland up
ber allies and the shouts OF "Hoch der
Kaiser" would be keeping time to the thund-
ers of German cannon, knocking at the gate
ways of America
Eliminating this feature, just and an
Germany should pay, that Germany should be
punished that Germany should be made to
suffer for the evil it has done Thus far as
every military statistician knows, Germany
has escaped the lash of punishment. 1t is a
matter of history, fresh and young in the
minds of all, that the victorious armies of the
United States and of the allies did not press
across German soil, dealing ruin to German
homes, as the armies of Germany dealt ruin
to the homes of the lands invaded. The
strains of the martial airs of the conquerng
forces did not sound in Berlin: Wilhelmstrasse
did not echo the laundering tread of Amer-
can, of French, of Italian of British soldiery.
On the contrary, with the historic towns
of France and Belgium masses of smoking
and shel-shattered ruins. with the fields of
France and Belgium soaked with the blood
Of their sons, with the wives and daughters
of France and Belgium the victims of Ger
man lust and German beastaity, German
soldiers, commanded by German officers,
were permitted to return to a German land
untorn by SHE'LL unstained with blood un-
touched by the hand Of the conquerer.
And now, despite the fact that the star
of German arrogance seems again in the as
cendancy, the German exchequer should be
made to feel the punishment due the Ger
man nation from Civilization.

different public utilities bodies were Justly
granted with such unanimity of expression
by the corporation commission, but it is ask
ing if all these rate advances, all these price
increases were Just and should have been
granted. why the need of corporation COM
mission?
Would the state not save thousands of
dollars each year in point of salaries paid the
members of the commission, and in salaries
paid for clerical help and in incidental ex-
penses, were it to abolish the corporation COM
mission department and empower the board
of county commissioners, in every county OF
the state, with the county attorney acting in
an advisory capacity, to regulate the charges
locally, while the more momentous questions
such as those appertaning to freight and pas
senger rates on intrastate business could be
left to the sole control of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which has already abro-
gated and taken over the state rights prerOga-
tives?
Such a plan, it seems to us, would at
least be feasible, and it goes without ques-
ton that the county commissions could not
more universally find for the concerns which
seek rate advances, especially at this time
when the country is groaning under recon-
structon, when wage-scales are being re-
duced and while the cost of living still sits
high in the clouds.
AT least the commissioners of the several
counties in the state could grant the prayers
of the public utilities bodies without added
expenses to the taxpayers, of travel to and
from the states capital.

AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE GRADUATES
Make Three Times as Much as Others,
One Survey Indicates.

! Agricultural college graduates, ac-
cording to farm management experts
at Cornell, may expect TO make about
tlree times as much at farming as
those who lack such training. OF the
80 to 50 New York farmers co-operat-
| ing with Cornell in keeping 1919 cost
accounts, those who have had an agri-
cultural short course made an average
labor income twice as large as that Of
men without agricultural training, and
those who had been graduated from
the agricultural college made three
times as much as those without agri-
cultural training. The average man
in each Of the three classes had about
the same amount Of capital; all Of
them are probably doing better than
the average for his class; but the rela-
ton between labor incomes seems to
be typical. The agricultural college
graduates had about the same crop
yields as the others, but eScelled
them IN management Of such special
enterprises as cows and fruit, and in
size Of business and efficiency Of horse
labor.
While no similar data are available
in Vermont, Dean J. L. Hills Of the
College Of Agriculture Of the Univer-
si;y Of Vermont, believes that II a
similar study was made Of It's gradu-
ates now farming in the state, much
the same relationship would be found
between their labor incomes and those
Of their neighbors who have not re-
ceived agricultural college training.

WHAT IT ccsTs TO FEED COWS

The ration for dairy cows suggested
early every month by Professor H.
Ellenberger Of the College If Agricul-
ture Of the University OF Vermont,
and used with excellent results by
Vermont dairymen, has increased ap-
proximately 1888 per ton in price
since the last quotation sent under
date Of June 20 This Is over IL per
cent increase. Most feed seem 10 be
on the increase, cottonseed meal and
linseed oil meal showing the greatest
advances. They are $500 to S11.00
higher than a month ago. Gluten feed
and corn meal are $3.50 per ton high
er, while wheat feeds average $i.00
per ton more.
Based on current quotations for
July Professor Ellenberger suggests
the following ration, the approximate
cost, sacks included, in mixed carloads
(. o. b. Boston freight rate points be-
ing given as 300 lbs. corn meal or
hominy feed S51O; 100 lbs. linseed oil
meal S262; 200 lbs wheat middlings
$275; 300 lbs gluten feed S623, and
100 lbs wheat bran sl.33.
The composition Of this ration Is
1S.9 per cent protein. as per cent fat,
and 5.8 per cent crude fiber and the
cost per ton Is S36.06.

NEW ENGLAND GOVERNORS
TO BE GUESTS OF HONOR
At Eastern States Exposition on Mon
day. September 18th.

Springfield. Mass. Aug 9-Eastern
States governors and farmers, togeth-
er with members and officers OF The
National Grange, will be guests Of the
Eastern Stetes Exposition on Monday,
September 10Th. Although the expo
sidon opens Sunday, the 18th. all Of
the activities do not begin until Mon
day, which has been set aside by the
management as Goverors' and Farm
ers' Day. Replies 20 letters Of inyi-
tation from President Joshua L.
Brooks Of the exposition have been re-
eeived from the five New England
governors, stating that they would at
tend.
Cows. Claiming II. Cox OF Massa-
chusetts, Everett +. Lake Of Connecti-
cut, James Hartness Of Vermont.
Jackson Baxter Of Maine, and Emery
J. San Souci of Rhode Island. are
those who have accepted the invita-
tion thus far. All Of the governors
will be accompanied by their stats.
special delegations from the state leg
islatures and representatives Of prom
inent business and agricultural organ
izations in the several states.
As the Eastern States exposition
serves the 10 commonwealth in the
North Atlantic region, the manage
ment considered it particularly fitting
that the opening day Of the fourth
annual show should be named in honor
Of the chief executives and agricultur-
lists Of these states. II is probable
that special excursion trains will carry
some Of the governors to the exposi-
tion.
One Of the features Of Governors
and Farmers Day will be the nomina-
tion free-for-all for $4,000 purse.
This is one Of the largest purses ever
offered for a free-for-all pace in New
England, and has attracted many Of
the most widely known steppers in
country. Added attractions at the
race track in the afternoon will be
auto polo and a complete vaudeville
while the evening horse
show in the coliseum and the outdoor
spectacle in front OF the
grand stand will be pleasing features
of the special program.
