For a long time Oklahoma was
known as the Indian Territory. be-
cause many Indians were placed there
on reservations by the government.
When the western half-the first to
be called OklahOma-was opened for
settlement by white people Q8S9,
there was rush for homes and farms
and within few years it had pop
ulation of several hundred thousand.
The eastern half was Indian Territory
until 1907. There are now more In
dians in Oklahoma than in any other
state.

WaterwOrkS Survey Being Made.

Two surveyors came here the first
of the week from Minneapolis, to make
the preliminary survey of the village
in an effort to ascertain the cost OF
a proposed water and sewer system.
1t is estimated that the survey here
will take a week after which it will
take another week or ten days in the
home office to compile the data and
make the necessary drawings from
which the cost can be ascertained.
After the approximate cost has been
determined the matter of how to
finance it will come up for discussion.
There are three distinct methods
of financing available, but which one
is the most desirable can not be de-
termined until the approximate cost
of the project is learned. The pre-
liminary survey will be divided into
three separate projects: water works,
sewer, and sewer disposal plant.
There is also to be included method
of financing for installation in the
various homes. All this information
will be available in the course of
about four weeks after which the citi-
zens of the village will be able to give
an intelligent opinion as to whether
or not the proposed improvements are
desired.

AAA officials said the additional ad-
justment payments were made pos
sible by reserve accumulations from
the tax on wheat produced by farm
ers not under allotment contracts.
The increased payment, it was stated,
will not result in any deficit in the
wheat budget since available funds
are sufficient to cover the increase.

Signatures have been gradually adj
ded to the petition to discharge the
rules committee so as to bring the
Frazier-Lemke farm refinance bill to
a vote in the House. 218 names are
required in order to secure vote on
this bill which authorizes government
refinancing of farm mortgages at low
interest rates and provides for the
issuance of currency, if necessary, to
supply the funds. The number of
signers now attached to the petition
is above 200 and hackers of the
measure are working hard to get the
additional names required.
The long-suffering AAA amend
ments have undergone hot debate in
the Senate although proponents hope
for passage of the amendments soon.
The main debate centered over the
propriety and constitutionality Of pro-
visions forbidding legal action on the
part of professors of farm products
against the collection of processing
taxes
Greatest opposition developed to
provisions denying the right to sue to
recover taxes heretofore paid. 1t was
generally conceded that prohibition of
injunctions against collecting the
taxes would be valid because enjoin-
ing tax collections interferes directly
with the functions of government.

Auditing of the 1885 corn-hog con-
tracts, the final step preceding actual
disbursement of the first 1885 rental
and benefit payments to cooperating
farmers, is getting underway and at
the usual rate of handling con-
tracts. actual distribution of the first
1885 corn-hog payments probably will
begin some time this month. Boards
of review in all states have been di-
rected to transmit to Washington all
contracts as soon as completed and
approved by local and state corn-hog
officials.
With less than one per cent of the
second payments and less than three
per cent of the final payments under
last years program yet unpaid, the
Administration is ready to begin dis
tribution of the 1885 payments. The
remaining unpaid contracts under the
1894 program can be handled along
with the new contracts.
A proclamation was issued by Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace, on
Monday, July s, establishing the min
imum 1885 wheat adjustment pay
ments at at least 33 cents a bushel
This is cents over the price of 1884
Chester c. Davis, AAA administrator
stated that the increase of 4 cents a
bushel for the 1885 allotments repre-
sents additional income to cooperative
wheat producers of approximately
S14 10000

received wage adjustments in January
only two were girls.

Because it is conclusive that minor
girls are not on a basis of equality
in wage protection with minor boys,
one of the bills recommended by the
Industrial Commission to the 1885
Legislature relates to an amendment
to the minimum wage law whereby
girls would come within the juris-
diction of the minimum wage law up
to 21 years of age, as is provided in
the law for male minors. Girls now
receive protection in their wage
rights up to IS years only. The num-
Der of girls under IS in industry is
negligible. The State of Minnesota
has thus done the unusual thing Of
placing more legal wage safeguards
around boys than girls. Based on the
experience of the Division of Women
and Children, the Industrial Commits
sion feels that this proposed amend
ment, which is definitely an equality
measure, is proper subject for
remedial legislation

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace

addressed prior to the Governors talk.
1.-The farmer will not get parity +.
until he owns the market places
where he sells his products AS long
as he sells on markets influenced by
speculation and gambling, he hasn't
a chance" the Governor said. Secre-
tary Wallace urged the dairy industry
to cooperate with the AAA.
1t is time that people speak out

The Senate committee on elections
last week considered the charges
brought against Senator Mackenzie.
twenty-five voters brought the charges
or the ground that Mackenzie in his
last campaign violated the corrupt
practices act. 1t is claimed in a series
of affidavits that Mackenzie spent
more than $4,000 during the campaign.
A great deal of the money, it is
charged, was spent in Minneapolis
beer parlors.

Huey p. Longs chief orator and
propaganda, Reverend Gerald L. X.
Smith, addressed the House last week.
He came at the invitation of his old
friend, Speaker George Johnson. In
a flow of wild oratory, Smith gave his
audience an idea of the Share Your
Wealth Program advocated by the
Louisiana Kingfish. He was very
vague i'm his program, but his pictur-
esque delivery and his tremendous
voice had quite an effect on his lis
teners.

The cry has gone up, Where are our
Lincolns>today?' If the Hearsts and
the Belgranos had anything to say
about it, such men would be in chains

director of education, to give us q
truer Interpretation of Americanism."
The city of Bemidji derived a net

REFUTES
LAWSON CLAIM

SAN JOSE, CAL, April "a
G.N.SO The Lamson retrial went
back to the mysteries of chem
istry and pathology today after a
flare of human emotions in which
various charges were hurled in
great heat by an attorney and a
former deputy sheriff.
AS court convened DR.. Jesse
Carr, of San Francisco, was to
resume the witness stand and
tell how in his opinion the at
tractive young wife of David A.
Lamson was bludgeoned to death
in the bathroom of the LamSon'S
Stanford campus home.
DR.. Carr was to offset, in re-
buttal for the State, the testi-
mony of defense medical experts
who said the injuries to the young
wife's skull and brain indicated
she was injured in an accidental
fall on a wash basin adjoining
the bathtub.
Chief Defense Counsel Edwin V.
Mckenzie rested LamSon'S case
before court adjournment after a
stormy session in which all at
torneys shouted one from the
witness stand, and Superior Judge
R. R. Syer had difficulty in being
heard with his rulings.

SCHULTZ HINTS
'SHAKE-DOWNS'

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April "a
GN.SD defense in the in
come tax trial of Dutch Schultz
today flung the inference that
the beer baron paid more than
100000 in 1880 as "shake-downS"
by police.
The accusation came during
the cross-examination of Leonard
G.. Kirchner, Government tax
expert, by William j. Hughes, of
Washington, noted tax lawyer,
and one of the Schultz battery of
lawyers.
The defense battered away at
the black ledger, allegedly con-
tanning the accounts Of the
Schultz beer mob.
Under a heading 49," inferred
by the Government to mean
Schultz and amounting to $213,-

do you know that rs" means
"shakes''-mOney paid to police
men,"
Mr.. Kirchner replied:
II do not"
Calling the witnesses attention
that IS" was much higher in De
cember, 1929, Mr.. Hughes asked:

cember, doesn't it?"
