have neither time nor inclination
to enter into any long discussion of
county, state or local taxes, neither
do crave a controversy with any
and do not imply criticism of
any other county commissioner, when
| say that my dealings with David E.
Powers have been highly satisfactory.
There is approximately 10 miles of
rural route out of the Powell post
office. In bad weather these roads
have often been in very poor condi-
ton during the past four years. Be-
sides this, the reclamation service
often takes up sections of the road
temporarily while constructing drains.
This has made grading and minor
repairs continuously necessary. In
such cases | have found Mr.. Powers
not only sympathetic and approach
able, but prompt, energetic and eff
cient in getting the work done that
was i~mperatively necessary.

If any mi considers this mild ar

him to consider this story of Abe
Lincoln:
When a boy he was crossing a pas
ture and was suddenly attacked by an
overfed young bull. He seized the
animal by its tail and proceeded to
kick in its ribs. After wrestling the
creature all over the lot and making
it run and bawl for mercy he said in
answer to its piteous panicky bleat,
"Well, who begun this row, anyway"

Legislature Begins Impeach-
ment Of Governor in Okla
homa KIan War.
BY ROBERT JAMES,
International News Service.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct. %.
Gov. j. C. Walton Qron jack,
who only ten honths ago swept into
Oklahoma's governorship on a wave
of popularity, anad who brandished
only recently the States entire
militia in a fight on the Ku Klux
Klan, will be the target for impeach-
ment charges to be filed in the house
of representatives today.
In face of his indictment, the
executive, who has seen his friends
desert him in his extremity and
whose advisers have urged him to
quit, announced grimly that he
would not resign nor had he ever had
any such intention.
Thirty-five pages Of closely typed
charges constitute the report to be
submitted to the house by it's probing
committee today. The evidence to
back them fills hundreds of pages.
Shortly after the legislature con-
venes at 1880 o'clock, the committee
report will be submitted. The tran
script of evidence thereupon will De
read, the reading consuming many
hours and necessitating in all prob
ability an all-night session. At the
readings conclusion, members are
expected to vote upon acceptance
or rejection Of the indictment in view
of the testimony presented to sustain
the charges. If the bill is sustained,
it will be filed Immediately with
the Senate.

cal professions; opinion os tie Navy

Aims One At Denby.
The Pinchot forces have been
in this affair, it is learned. from
the beginning: and Pinchot himself
declared today that as long as
Josephus Daniels was Secretary OF
the Navy the conservationist Pin
chot element was able to get CO.
operation from the Navy Depart
nent in protecting and preserving
the Navy's oil resources but that
this cooperation ceased when DENLY
became Secretary Of the Navy IN
1921. -
That the transfer from the Navy
Department to the Department OF
the Interior should never have been
made. and that the subsequent
lease to Sinclair was q violation OF
conservationist principles and a
menace to our national naval Sc
curity; such Is the view which the
Pinchot forces have been pressing,
and which witnesses whom they
have brought forward will press
upon Senator Shoots committee
this week.
At bottom the Teapot Dome at
fair is disclosed to be a fight be-
tween the Pinchot idea, and the
DENLY and Fall idea; and the In.
quiry before Senator Smoot,s com.
fr1tttee is revealed as an arena in
Which the Pinchot conservationist
element will make an outright dou.
ble-barreled attack upon both the
Navy Department and the Depart.
ment Of the Interior In the ma
tional administration.
Four Departments Targets.
Coming on the heels Of the Pin
chot attack upon the Treasury
Department and the Department of
Justice in the matter of prohibition
enforcement, this DEVELOPMENT
shows a total OF four national cab.
met departments now under fire
from the Pinchot forces.
Pinchot's enemies declare that
every one Of these attacks is a DO
Htical move to undermine the Ma
tional Administration and to dis
credit it and to compel the Repub-
ncan party to accept a new Presi-
dental leadership by Pinchot him
self next year.
Pinchot's friends declare that
each of these attacks has been a
consistent necessity forced upon the
governor by his long and we'll
known record as a prohibitionist
and conservationist.
Both friends and enemies see that
In either case the result is that
Pinchot cannot make himself the
outstanding spokesman Of so many
national issues without becoming
an outstanding contestant for ma
tional Presidential honors.
Official and political Washington
is a unit now on the proposition
that Pinchot of Pennsylvania, has
tossed enough pieces of Presidential
fur and felt into the ring to make
an undeniable hat.
