A LETTER FROM COLORADO
Mrj, S. J. Zerger Writes Descrip-

April 4th, 1910,
Editor of Clipper—
As our many friends
of Oklahoma requested us to
write to them we thought we
goes from forty to fifty bushels
to the acre but here in Colorado
bushels are not known, it is so
many pounds to the acre. To
illustrate, we are sowing 2,400
pounds of wheat, which would
be about 40 acres, 1,000 pounds
of oats, which would be about 20
acres, 800 pounds of barley that
would make ten acres and 48,000
pounds of "spuds" which would
mean 800 bushels and that will
plant 80 acres. Barley takes the

We can easily explain that, the
original owners of the farms
have become wealthy and gone
to town, a goodly portion of them
live at Greeley, some at Denver,
while others have igone back to
sister states to enjoy their ease
and comfort. Every farm has a
good comfortable house and barn
and other buildings. Our soil is
composed of a rich sandy loam,
just sandy enough to make it
work well. It would seem
strange to anyone not used to
seeing it the way they put in
their crops. Of course, it being
an irrigated country, a person
has to put in his crops the same
way the water runs and some-
than cotton that is if you put
them in the spud cellar and by
the way the spud cellars are a
very big affair. In handling the
spuds if they put them in the
cellar at digging time they have
shutes from the top where you
can scoop them in the cellar like
you would corn in the crib then
when you sell them you have to
run them over a 1 and 1-8 inch

that goes through that screene

mittee of the first district in

Reaffirming our allegiance to the
well known principles of the re-
publican party and pledging our-
selves anew to stand by those
principles, we, the members of
the First Oklahoma congressional
district committee, in session
in Guthrie, April, 8th, 11)10, un
equivocall endorse the adminis-
tration of President William
Howard Taft, beleiving that in
his official acts and recommenda
tions he is studiously earring out
the pledges and policies outlined
in the platform on which he was
elected, and we assure him that
the First Oklahoma distrist re-
mains, as in the past, united in
the support of his administration.
The farmers of Oklahoma are
to be congratulated upon the

are now bringing in our markets,

congress, is the best tariff law

cent declaration that "the Payne
j tariff law is the best revenue
j producer the country ever had."
j In giving their aid toward draft-
j ingof this law and in their loyal
support of it at all times, we com-
mend the action of the republican
congressmen from Oklahoma,
and we commend them further
for their loyal support of the
national administration in all its
policies.
We note with due consideration
that the recent declaration of
president Taft that if the states,
comprising the great west, would
secure and maintain a standing
in the two branches of national
congress that would give them
equal inlluence with the eastern
states,they should keep in con-
gress the men who have made
jgood—a customtheeasternstates
always follow. And in keeping
with this suggestion from our
president we commend the action
of Bird S. McGuire in congress
and urge his re-nomination and
election.
We commend the course of our
state, county and precinct or-
ganization!:. In Chairman James
A. Harris, the republicans of
Oklahoma have a thoroughorgan-
izer, a tireless worker and alead-
er who will achive results. We
commend the course of the re
publicans members of the legis
lature in their efforts to releive
the tax burdned people and to
let the taxpayers of the state
know the extravagant and mis-
management of public funds at
the hands of the democratic
state ad ministration. We express
ou r appreciationof the republican
press of the state, for they have
loyally responded to every re-
quest.
We condemn tho democratic
state administration for its in
competent and extravagant ad-
ministration of the various de-
partments of the state. They
have created useless offices, in-
creased state county and other
inuniciple taxes; paid ex tar vagant
prices for supplies; created ex-
cessive state debts; robed the
school fund to pay an army of
employes not authorized by law;
squandered the public funds for
the pay of experts, inspectors,
special agents, detectives, statist-
only relief is a republican
success at the next election.
The campaign cry will be: "Look
at your tax reciet then vote."
We condemn the continued ap-
propriation of pubic funds by the
democratic administration, add-
ing additional burdens to the al-
ready overtaxed people. The
three sessions of legislature
since statehood have appropriated
the enormous total of £10 2iS7 92-1
of tho taxpayers' money. The
recent unnecessary special ses-
sion, called for the alleged pur-
pose of reducing taxes, ap
propriated £1 150 798 in addition
to the legislative expenses,
amounting to $90 948.
We have already had twenty
eight months of statehood and
eleven months of legislature,
causing the people to wonder
where it will all end.
We declare that the special ses-
ion of tho legislature was callded
for no other purpose than to en
act disfranchising laws. Afraid
to let the people declare them
selves on the Taylor general el
ection law, on which the r mb-
lican state organization demand-
ed the referendum, the democratic
state administration called the
legislatnre in special session for

era.
There seems to be such gener-
al lack of knowledge of the late
law governing assessments,
equalizing and adjustment of
grievances, that I thought the
public would appreciate an ex
planation of the matter in time
to act intelligently before the
time is past, should there be any
dissatisfaction in the matter of
assessment.
The township and city hoards
of equalization meet on the third
Monday of April and the law
says, "any decision of said
board shall be tinal as to individ-
ual assessment unless an appeal
is taken to the board of county
commissioners on or before the
Monday in June next following.
The decission of the board of
county eommisioners shall be fi-
lial in all cases. (Sec. 1, Art. (>,
Ch, 38, Session laws of 1909)
Prior to the enactment of this
law, the board of county com-
missioners took up the adjust-
ment of grievances at any time
but the present board holds that
under the law above quoted, they
cannot consider these matters
i other purpose than to repeal I un'ess "u an appeal from the
that iniquitous law and to place
inits stead that "child ofa Devil,"
the Bryan election law. The
republicans of Oklahoma and of
nation have always declared for
and enacted fair and non partisan
laws, and we assure the people
of this state that if the republicans
are succesful next November that
another non partisan law will be
enacted.
We condemn the continued
efforts of the democrats to enact
laws and cause constitutional!
amendments that seek to dis-
franchise citizens of this state,
and at the same time violate the
obligations contained in the
federal constitution, the enabling
act that gave Oklahoma statehood I
and our own state constitution. ,
We call attention to the enabling
act which specifically provides
that "no distinction shall ever be
made because of of race, color or
condition of serveitude." In his
securing this provision in the
enabling act we commend the
action of congressman Bird S.
McGuire.
We condemn the continued ef
forts on the part of the democrats
now in control in this state, to
make the initiative and referen
dum provisionsof theconstitution
a farce, depriving the people of
the rights insured to them in
such a provision, and we advocate
and urge an amendment to the
state constitution that will take
away from the legislature the
authority to repeal any law that
is initiated by the people.
Representing the republcans
of theFirstcongressional Dirtrict
we commend to the people of
the state the election of the re-
publican state ticket, insuring a
return to business principles,
honest government, a fair name
at home and abroad, redeeming
the state from its injured
reputatian abroad, promising re
lief to the tax-burdened people
and pledging a code of laws that
will give every citizen the rights
guaranteed to him in the consti
tution.
We note with pleasure the safe
return of our former president
and steadfast friend of President
Taft—Theadore Roosevelt, and
commend the movement now on
foot to make his woicomo home a
national demonstration.
TheOklahoma Agricultural Col-
lege at Stillwater will be able to
begin the distribution of hog
cholera vaccine to farmers about
the first of May. Some work in
t ie production of hog cholera
vaccine was done last fall, about
six hundred doses of the vaccine
being manufactured at that time.
This vaccine has been used in
various parts of the State on
farms where hog cholera was
present or on farms where the
hogs were known to have been
exposed to the cholera. The re-
sults wore satisfactory in every
instance where there was any
reason to expect beneficial re-
sults. Hog cholera can be pre-
vented by using the vaccine a id
it may be stopped in a herd with
but little loss if the ^vaccine is
used before many of the hogs
get sick. The vaccine was used
on a number of sick hogs and
with good results in some cases
but we do not wish to advocate
the use of tin? vaccine as a cure
for cholera as it is not, but it is a
reliable means for preventing and
of controlling outbreaks of the
disease.
We have received a letter and
illustrated charts from President
Connell of the College assuring
us that this serum may be safely
used as above indicated, explain-
ing the methods of vaccination
employed and showing that its
cost is so slight as to place it in
reach of anyone whose hogs are
threatened by cholera. Further
information may be had by ca'l-
township or city board of equali
