the duties prescribed in the charter
pertaining to the commissioner of pub-

other way for the good of the commu-
nity in general.
I was born and raised on a farm in
Northwest Missouri, and lived there
until coming to Oklahoma 12 years
ago, s-nee which time I have been in
the real estate business, being identi-
fied with the firm of Blackwelder L
Co.. handling my own property mostly.
" I believe the office of commissioner
of public property should be filled by
an honest man, and all men under the
supervision of this department should
come up to the standard of compe-
tency of handling this Important
office In a business-like manner. I
have been a hard working man all my
life, and know the laboring man should
be given a square deal at all times.
I have made a success in life, and
my past record is open to any one
who wishes to investigate.
I was a member of the board of
freeholders who wrote the charter,
and am well acquainted with the du-
ties of each and efery department of

caused by an explosion of powder,
which set fire to dust. As the fan

BILLS
Washington, April 8.—Chairman Un-
derwood of the wuys and means com-
mittee aunouueed today that the com-
mittee would be ready by the end of
next week to Introduce In the house
some tariff revision schedules.
The first bills to be presented will
provide for downward revision of the
woolen Bchedulo and for reduction of
the duties on tho necessities of life,

President Taft is urging that the
Canadian reciprocity tariff treaty be
brought at once. It Is being arjvued
that to hold this measure back would
be discourteous to Canada. The demo-
crats arc committed to this treaty
nearly all the members of the party In
the house having voted for it at the
last session of congress. A legisla
tive calendar will be determined, says
Underwood, at a democratic caucus to
be held next week. It will be de-
cided then whether the reciprocity
treaty is to I e brought Into the house
with the first tariff revision bills or is
to be held back until some of these
bills are sent along to the senate.
Some of the democratic leaders urge
that the first executive action by the
house shall be on popular election of
senators and the Arizona-New Mexico
statehood bill.
It is the oplnon of Underwood that
there will be no delay In bringing
from the commltte on ways and means
the reciprocity bill. It is expected
therefore that this bill will come along
with the first of the tari. revision bills,
the democrats having little fear that
the president will adjourn congress
without giving them opportunity to
consider and pass on the measures an-
nounced their legislative program.
Speaker Clark is receiving a flood
of communications on the Cauadian
treaty as a result of the opposing ac-
tivities of the American Tariff Pro-
tective league. The leagun has sent
throughout the country printed post,
cards opposing the treaty with the
request that the recipient sign and re-
turn the card to Speaker Clark or to
a congressman.
A great majority of these cards be-
ing received by the speaker have "op-
position" to the treaty scratched out
and "favoring" the treaty written
above. Democratic house leaders are
impressed with the fact that sentiment
for the treaty has been growing in-
stead of waniug during the recess of
congress.
Canadian opponents of the treaty
are active and Speaker Clark is re-
ceiving many newspaper clippings op-
posing the treaty. The argument used
by the Canadian press is that the
treaty will permit American farmers
to capture their markets while Ameri-
can farmers are being urged to oppose
the treaty through fear that the Ca-
nadian farmers will glut American
markets.
