! VIII seek TO improve the agricultural
situation in Oklahoma through en-
acting into laws the matured de-
mands OF organized farmers who
| actually farm. Among these de-
mands are: That the state put in n
tannery and leather goods factory at
/ me state penitentiary, that motor ve-
| hlcle taxes be collected In the coun.
ties where the motor vehicles are
used, that the school transfer law be
/ amended, that an anti-discrimina- .
ton law be enacted and that state
laws pertaining to grading and ware
housing OF farm products be admin
lstered in cooperation with federal
laws and supervision.
We are committed TO an admin
lstratlon OF state departments and
especially the department OF sgrl- =
culture, which will seek to protect
farmers against encroachments Of
spectators in land and In leasea on
indian lands. Those who bear the
every burden OF labor whether on
farms. in workshop or elsewhere.

as public interest in their Just solu-
tion.
