Oklahoma paper have been very
fast to pubtlBb. all the stuff lent out
by the Portland labor council, re
flecting on Oregon. A. H. from
Enid, Oklahoma, pay taxe there and

double what they are In Oregon.
(Heaven help the victims!)
Our friend, Fred Rouse, of Holly
wood, a suburb of this city, has giv
en The Capital Journal an Interview
on conditions In Oklahoma and Kan
sas as follows:
"Everyone I know nearly, In Okla
homa sends me the Portland labor
council slanders on Oregon. They
k, what about this business In one
way or another. Tbey live in glass
houses and throw stones. I enclose
clipping from Oklahoma City. The
'Wichita Kansas Beacon had an arti
cle on Oregon Land Swindles. Many
Oklahoma, people are said to have
been bitten in such scheme. "Un
crupulous Real Estate Shark,"
"Starvation Faces Them." etc., are
headlines.
The Farmer Mall and Breeze, To
peka, Kansas, published by Arthur
Capper, candidate for governor, says
of thnt section:
"Farmers having failed to raise a
crop, hae neither money nor credit
with which to buy, and are seeing
tolerably rocky times," and asks,
"Ought not the state to help out In
a case of this kind?" That much for
Kansas.
The Oklahoma Hornet notes tho
fact that "People In the southern
part of the slate appeal for assist
ance to try It again, they having
had THREE successive yean of crop
failure, Also that most of the old
timers came there with nothing and
have held their own admirably."
With the coming of grass, the wise
ones will toss a sack of Oregon
grown poUtoes, several cans of Ore
gon cherries a hunk of Oregon
smoked salmon, and two bits worth
of Oregon prunes Into the wagon,
throw water on the Are, call the dog,
and hike back to wife' folks In Old
Missouri. And as thoy pass through
town, the man will get a bottle of
tonic for the wife made from Oregon
hops and treat the kids with "111
Red Apples" grown In Oregon. Thaf
much for Oklnhoma.
"Oklahoma City is the third largest
city In the I'nltod States In square
miles!
"New York lias 300 squaro miles.
Population, 6,000.000. Chicago lias
216 situiiio miles; population, 2,200,.
000. Oklahoma City has 211
square miles; population, 40,000.
The Oklahoma City dully paper do
votes whole editorial pages to telling
of the wealth that could be mndn II
the farmers of Oklahoma City would
only turn their attention to agricul
ture, advocating among other crops,
the raising of medicinal plans, like
digitalis an efficient diuretic. The
city Is sick, Kb blood refuw-H to How,
needs arterial stimulation.
vere winter that has been seen for
perhaps a quarter of a century, It Is
not to be wondered at that the peo
ple out In western Kansas, that Is,
a good many of them, are seeing tol
erably rocky times, .
They were forced to go Into the
winter short of feed. Then came the
tremendous enow accompanied by In
tense cold. A great deal of the stock
Is short of feed and to make matters
worse, the railroad have been
blocked so that It was Impossible for
many days at a time to ship In either
feed or coal. Many 6f the farmers
are sufficiently forehanded, so that
they could buy feed If It were to be
had. Others less fortunate, having
failed to raise a crop, have neither
money nor credit with which to bor
row money to buy feed.
Here I a case where, If we had a
system of government money, the
government could loan to the people
of these counties sufficient to carry
them over until the making of the
next crop. These people do not ask
or want charity. They have suffered
from a temporary calamity and all
they want Is help to carry them un
til they can raise another crop.
During this trying time, they have
shown superb patience and courage.
Gp among them and you will hear
but little If any whining or complain
ing. Some of them are backed up
against the wall as It were, but they
are still ready to fight with the
forces of nature.
And there Is light ahead. I can
not help feeling that next year will
be one of the most prosperous that
section of the state has seen for a
long time. But what Is the man to
do who sees his stock starving and
who Is without money or credit with
which to buy feed and grain with
which to plant Ills fields next season?
Ought not the state to help out In a
case of this kind?
January 27, 1912.
(From The Oklahoma Hornet.)
People In the southorn part of the
state appeal for assistance to try It
again. Three years of crop failure
has been a severe strain, especially
to the renter class. It Is always
humiliating to ask for assistance and
most people will almost starve be
fore thoy will do so. Many of the
early settleVs in Oklahoma received
government aid In order to get
through and hold their claims. Some
of the recipients of that aid are
struggling yet, while other who were
so poor then that aid was about Die
only thing that kept them from
starving, have prospered and waxed
rich and would today deny their own
signature If confronted with a list of
those who had received aid.

TWO HUNDRED
CITIES IX REVOLT
The most remarkable political fact
of the last decade Is the rapidity with
which American cities are changing
their form of government.
Twelve ear ago, Galventon, Texaa,
waa practically wiped out by a tidal
wave. When tho water receded they
left the Itiland covered with wreck
age, slime and debt. But that tidal
wave wiped out more than a Blngle
nlty! It swept away though no one
dreamed of It at the time the city
boss and the corrupt politician from
hundreds of American municipalities.
Galveston was left broken and
bankrupt. The work of reconstruc
tion tho great problem of making
the city safe called for the best ef
forts of the strongest and ablest men.
It was no Job for gang politicians,
such as had ruled and despoiled the
I city In alliance with big business
during the old days. In their extrem-

Following the driest
known fur years, with the
summer
most He-
of five Btrong men be tipiiolnted, who
should have absolute charge of every
department of the city government.
Bo with no Idea of forever ending
the rule of the Bosb lld commission
government come Into existence.
The governor's commission took
hold of their great task like men.
For two years they labored mightily,
while Hie old politicians sulked and
growled and starved. Then there
came a chance for the politicians to
take the whole question Into the
courts, The court decided that be
cause a majority of the commission
was appointed by the governor, the
whole body and Its work wa uncon
stitutional. Whereuxn the people
rose In their wrath and elected the
same five commissioners by a vote
that burled the gangsters deeper than
the tidal wave.
8o the original "commission" be
came a purely popular and elective
body, though the name now a com
plete misnomer has Btuck. It was
five years before the Galveston anti
toxin for the city boss disease began
to take. Houston, watching with
Jealous eyes the rebirth and rapid
growth of its sister city, was the
first to follow the Galveston exam
ple, and, on the heels of Houston,
came revolution.
Between January 1, 1906, and Feb
ruary 1, 1912, no less than 186 Amer
ican cities scattered through 33
state, adopted the commission form
of government.
More than 200 other municipalities
are now seriously considering the
adoption of the commission and the
"Galveston Idea," while not adopted
In Its entirety, has materially affect
ed the form of government in such
great cities as Boston and Plttsliurg.
The essential features of the Gal
veston or commission form of city
adnilnlHt ration are those:
I. All power and responsibility
must be centered In and confined to
a small council or commission, usual
ly of five members, who, by them
selves or through their own appoin
tees, pass all city ordinances, enforce
them, and administer all city affairs.
This commission Ib the city govern
ment. 2. The members of the commission
must be elected from ths city at large
and not as representing any ward or
district.
3. The member of the commission
must be the only elective officers of
the city (with the possible excep
tion of an auditor or school board)
and must have the power to appoint
all 'the subordinate administrative
ollclal.
4. The commission must have the
power to remove at will any or all
of the officials It has appointed. In
this way only can the commission,
Itself, be held directly responsible
for result by the people of the city.
The Initiative, referendum and
recall, while they form part of the
charter In most comuilsHlon-governed
cities, are not an essential part of
the plan. Henry M. Hyde In April

YEARS AGO.
Corvallls, Or., March 20. Confined
In separate Jails, two brothers,
George and Charles Humphreys, are
awaiting the fate that the machinery
of the law may deal them, both be
ing charged with murder. Charles
Humphrey was brought here yester
day by Sheriff Hancock, of Washing

In a seond confession yesterday,
Charles accuses his older brother of
slaying his stepfather, William King,
near Dayton, Or., about 12 years
ago. According to Charles, this was
George'' first crime.
King had quarreled with his wife
and left her, going to a cabin on a
rented farm. Actuated by a spirit of
vengeance and a desire to obtain
money he thought his stepfather pos
sessed, George visited the cabin and
choked King to death. . He secured
the money, but was disappointed to

Charles further says that in Au
gust, 1910, George determined to kill
one Ole Oleson, living in Hayhurst
Valley, by choking him to secure
some money, less than $100, pos
sessed by Oleson. He assaulted Ole
son, but received a savage beating,
and the brothers decided to leave
Douglas county. They moved to

As Mr. Bosse is ill he was unable to
assure them that he would be able to
secure that large amount for them, but
promised to obtain from 200 to 300
acres. For year Mr. Bosse has sought
to place the flax Industry on a solid

this would be one of the paying indus
