National Grange Master
Emphasizes Need for
Cooperative Work
Nearly 130 Grangers of Cana-
dian county and Grady county at-
ended the joint picnic at Union
3ity Monday when L. J. Tabor,
national master Granger, was the
utstanding speaker of the pro-
gram.
The group met at the Tree
House, south of Union City, and
adjourned to the Pleasant View
Grange hall for the picnic and
program. “Agricultural Troubles
And a Way Out" was the sub-
ject of Mr. Tabor's address when
he pointed out the fact the de-
pression was affecting not only
agriculture, but every other in-
dustry, and that it was not only
taking the Oklahoma farmers,
but the entire world in its scope.
Urges Organize! on
The basis of agricultural trou-
ble is that the farmers are un-
organized and trying to hold a
position level with the organized
businesses, ln the former group
Mr. Tabor named the national
chain stores, the mass selling
agencies, the chain bank sys
tem, the nation wide dairy pro-
ducts companies, and .others.
Mr. Tabor, who is a promi-
nent figure in American agricu-
lture, said the answer to these
problems is not to destroy the
organized groups, but to com-
pete on the same basis as a
nation-wide organization of farm-
i trs. He emphasized the fact that
the only way out is for the farm-
ers to organize and fight their
own battles.
Additional numbers of the pro-
gram were: a reading by Mrs.
Anna Smith Ninman; selections
by the Banner Grange quartet
numbers by the Meridian Grange
quartet. The affair was presid-
ed over by M. E. Slebert, Pocas-
set.

Canadian county loses an es-
timated $16,800 in taxes an-
nually because Indian lands ure
-not assessed, according to a re-
port prepared by County Asses-
sor John Stanley for Frederick
Stelwer, chairman of the U. 8.
senate sub-committee on Indian
affairs.
Senator Steiwer sent a ques-
tionnaire to the local assessor
recently requesting information
on Indian lands. The request ex-
plained that an Investigation is
being made in counties ln which
there are Indian lands in an ef-
fort to have the federal govern-
ment reimburse the counties, at
least in part, for the losses due
to. nan-assessable Indian lands.
Indian Reserve
Mr. tRanley'a report showed
there are 4,800 acres ln the
Cheyenne and Arapaho reserve
near Concho. At a valuation of
$26.77 an acre, the total would
be $128,500. Only the toss tor
school purposes was figured on
this land and It was estimated
at $2,555.86.
Other Indian lands In tha
county total 21,825 acres, .valued
at $21.61 an acre or a total of
$471,650.
Expense to County
Mr. Stanley figured tho coun-
expends annual $7,234.36 on
roads and bridges to serve this
r.on-taxable land. The figure of
$7,017.91, given as loss for
schools due to the non-taxahie
land was taken from a thesis pre-
pared by Supt. Pippin of the
Ckarche schools.
The local assessor said Tuesday
that when Mr. Steiwer was In
Oklahoma, a meeting of all coun-
ty assessors was called, and that
Mr. Stelwer's talk and his letter
Indicated the county has a good
chance of receiving money to
cover at least part of that Ins'
through the exemption of Indian
lands from taxation.

HEARING TODAY
Wewoku. Okla. Aug 4
(IP)
Austin. Tex., Aug. 4 (IP) Rep-
resentatives oi governors of eleven
cotton growing states gathered
here today to hear the recom-
mendation of a group of farmers,
hnnkera and slate officials, that
acreage reduction laws be passed
to prevent further overproduction
of cotton and us an emergency
measure to meet the present crisis.
The crisis arises from the fact
that cotton is Helling at five cent*
per pound loss than the average
cost of production, and that an
11,000,000 bale crop Is moving to a
market where 9,000,000 bales are
held over from other years. The
price of cotton la still dropping
and is near low levels of 1914-15.
Gov. Ross Sterling, who called
the conference at the request of
tho Texas legislature, will open it
In the state capltol. The recom-
mendation for acreage reduction
will be offered by conferee* who
spent yesterday studying effects
of lhe plan on tho south.
A sub-committee, after conduct-
ing a public hearing, voted two to
one to recommend that all cotton
growing slates pass measure* re-
quiring crop rot*Hon and forbid-
ding planting of mor« than half
of tillable lands In cotton. Such
a measure, effective in Texas
would result In a reduction of
(com 25 to 33 per cent in the cot-
ton acreage, according to esti-
mates prepared by statistician*
Tom Calvert, alias “Blackla” Mur-'for the department of agriculture,
phy, charged with the murder of
Jess Hayes. Seminole dancnhall
owner, faced preliminary hearing
before County Judge J, Henry
