Protests Against West's Amendments
Protests against the submission of
two of the live constitutional amend-
ments said to be backed by Attorney
General Charles West and which It
propoaed to have submitted at the
August primary election were filed
In the aise of the legislature to one
house of eighty members and n sub-
ordinate body of fifteen members to
be known as oommlaalonera
The amendment providing the
change la the Judiciary It la alleged
in the protest la in conflict with both
the bill ot rights ana the federal con
atltutlon and alao in conflict with the
state constitution It further Is al-
leged that many of the signers of the
petition are not qualified voters of the
atate and that Attorney -General West
by reason of the fact that he la al-
leged to be supporting and advocating
the adoption of the amendments is
disqualified from preparing the ballot
titles a doty which la Imposed upon
tha attorney general by the constitu-
tion The same allegations with reference
to the attorney general and the in-
sufficiency of legal signatures are
made la the protest against the leg-
islative amendment The propoaed
amendment It alao Is charged la la
conflict' with the enabling act and the
organic law of the state
- The judiciary amendment It la al-
leged la In conflict with Article 1 of
Section 10 of the federal constitution
which provides that “No atate shall
pass any bill of attainder ex post
facto law or law impairing the obliga-
tion of contra ot or grant any title of
nobility”
The restriction made by the federal
constitution against the -passage of a
bill of attainder- amounts to a pn-
hibitioa against the submission of tho
amendment the protest alleges ’be-
cause the provisions of said proposed
amendment to the constitution Inflict
punishment without Judicial trial upon
the Justices of the supreme court by
disqualifying them from office or from
the pursuits of a lawful avocation
when they are cltlsens of the United
-States otherwise qualified to hold
office”
Common Law Marriage Valid
Common law marriages In Oklahoma
are held as valid and binding as any
other form of marriage agreement or
contract by Judge Phil D Brewer in
an opinion given in suprece court com-
mission division No 2 In reversing
the judgment of the district court of
Blaine county in the case of Mrs Em-
ma Love vs W S Love the father of
her common law husband
Statutes which seek to provide reg-
ulations for the performance of the
marriage ceremony Judge Brewer
holds are merely directory and when
such statutes do not expressly forbid
other forms of marriage a common
law marriage consummated in accord-
ance with the common law Is valid
and binding
The common law husband of Mrs
Love died some time ago and upon his
death shie was given letters of an ad-
ministrator of his estate The father
-of the deceased filed a petition la the
county court of Blaine county asking
that the letters held by Mrs Love be
vacated on the ground that she waa
hla son's common law wife and beld
no title or interest In his estate Thla
contention was overruled by the coun-
ty court and on appeal to the district
court Is was sustained
During the proceedings In the lower
court It was admitted that the only
marriage ceremony claimed to have
been performed by virtue of which
Mrs Love claimed to have been mar-
ried was performed In the presence of
witnesses in n hotel In Anadarko on
March 13 1910 No official record
was made of the marriage It waa ad-
mitted Property rights Involved In the case
were Insignificant Judge Brewer
holds the principal issue waa to give
a name to the daughter of Mrs Love
Dealing with this phase of the case
Judge Brewer says:
-Beets- Amendment Goes On Ballot
A proclamation waa Issued by Gov-
ernor Cruce last week directing the
secretary of tho atate election board
to place on the ballot at the August
primary the question of adopting or
rejecting the proposed constitutional
amendment which would make drunk-
enness on the part of a state official
grounds for Impeachment and removal
from office This is one of the five
constitutional amendments drafted
and proposed by Attorney General
West "d the only one against which
a protest has not been lodged The
other four are the ones reducing the
sise of the legislature establishing
one supreme court fixing the maxi-
mum state levy at two and one-half
mills and providing a gross production
tan on oil and gas

Department ef Agriculture Offers Bug-
gestion far Better Live "
- Stock Work
Daring the seven years that the U
B Department of Agriculture has been
campaigning against the tick fever
which annually kills more cattle In
the south than all other diseases com-
bined an area of 198802 square miles
has been freed from the tick De-
tails of this work against a disease
that Is estimated to cost American
farmera (40000000 a year are printed
In a new circular of the Department
entitled -Effects of Tick Eradication
on the Cattle Industry of the South"
Now comes the question what plan
Is best for farmers in these redeemed
areas to Improve their stock? The
following are some of the Depart-
ment’s suggestions In brief:
1 Get Bermuda or carpet grass
started on all pastures Improve the
pasture further by sowing some lee-
pedesa and bur clover on the uplands
and some alsike clover white clover
and paspalnm dllatatum on the bot-
tom lands
8 Grow more hay and other for-
age on which to winter the stock or
If a fanner has as many as 10 or 76
cattle erect a silo
3 Bring In hood bulls of the beef
breeds to nse for grading up the na-
tive cattle Do not try to raise pure
breds to begin with
8 If not able to buy a bull for
individual use form a bull club and
let each member buy stock In the
bull and place him on some central
farm or let one man buy the bull and
the others obligate themselves to
breed their cows to that bull
L Form a community club or a
county live-stock association so that
members may exchange bulls every
two years In order to get the max-
imum service from a bull without
breeding him to his offspring The
members of a club should agree on
FIRST SILO IN
Erected on a Logan county farm in 1891
TYPICAL MODERN SILOS
Three of the five Immense steel alios which supply feed for (00 'steers
on the farm of Cronklte Bros at Watonga
The following table gives statistics as to the production of wool on
farms as shown by the thirteenth census
The total number of sheep of shearing age In Oklahoma on Aprtt 15
1910 was 48896 lepresenting a decrease of 201 per cent as compared with
the number on June 1 1900 ( 61183) The approximate production of wool
during 1909 was 46492 fleeces weighing 281760 pounds and valued at (55187
Of these totals about one-fourth represents estimates The number of fleeces
produced In 1909 waa 276 per cent less than In 1899 Tbs average weight
per fleece In 1909 was 61 pounds as compared with 61 pounds In 1899 and
tha overage value per pound was 20 cents as compared with 18 cents In 1899
what breeds they want to use and all
get bulls of the same breed In order
that the - community may develop a
trade and make a reputation as grow-
ers of this breed
8 If the bull Is young do not
let him run with the cows but keep
him In a separate pasture and give
him some feed each day so as to
keep him growing
7 Do not let a young bull serve
a cow but once One service la often
better than a half dosen
8 Heifers of the beef breeds
should not drop calves until they are
at least SO months of age and should
be bred accordingly
9 Breed the cows so as to calve
during February March and April
10 Castrate all male calves at an
early age either before or at weaning
time
11 Wean the calves la the fall
about the time the cows are-taken
from pasture Give them plenty of
good bright hay silage If available
and about 1 pound of cottonseed meal
per day for the first month after tak-
ing them from the cows After that
they can be wintered on roughages
produced on the place with a little
concentrate Cowpeas or lespedeta
hay Is especially good for the calves
although there is no better roughage
than silage
12 The breeding stock may be
given the run of the stalk fields until
the middle of winfir and then fed on
the roughage about the place the fast
of the winter As the cows - will be
carrying calves they should not be
permitted to get poor but should be
kept In a thrifty condition
13 If possible dip all of the stock
each spring and fall to keep them free
of lice and to put their skin in good
condition
The natural aequence of the forma-
tion of community clube for breed-
ing and raising cattle will be the co-
operative shipping to such markets
as show the greatest demand for the
class of cattle to be sold In coun-
ties where the farmers are largely
raising one breed of cattle it Is not
hard to induce buyers to come pro-
vlded there is considerable stock for
sale
