senate committee on finance with till
members present met and chairman
Aldrioh presented the tatill' bill as
amended by a majority of the com-
mittee. Senator Aldrieh nave a brief
nummary of the bill. In the main tho
rates as reported from the senate
committee are lower than those in tho
bill as it passed the house. Tho ac-
tual number of reductions being about
three times the number of increases.
Such increases as have been made
have been largely rendered C'essary
to preserve theyiwtiary of the sched-
ules. A Considerable number or arti
cles in common use have been taken
from the dutiable list of the house
bill and restored to tho free list. The
Brent mass of rates reported are lie-
low those of the existing law.

ore of one and half cents per pound
but it has been obliged to raise the
rates on lead products throughout the
bill to correspond with this duty on
lead ore. The change from the house

tance. The agricultural schedule In-
cluding meat products remains practi-
cally unchanged from the existing
law.

what rates to recommend on wood
pulp coal and hides. When the com-
mittee met today the democratic mem-
bers offered no objection to reporting
the bill.

rates of the existing law.

Caldwell Will Enforce Prohibition of
Sate of Apple Cider Under
Terras of Constitution.
Outhrie Okla. April 12. -The last
legislature enacted a law permitting
the sale cf apple cider in Oklahoma.
The act was necessary because of the
prohibition of this beverage by the
Hiiiups prohibition law. Tne new law
became effective at once. The state
is filled now. with imported apple ci-
der that Frof. Edwin DeP.arr of the
Oklahoma State university has found
by analysis to contain from 4 to 5 per
cent of alcohol. The amount of alco-
hol in beer Is from ? 1-2 to 4 per cent.
A man who drank two glasses of
the cider today at a soda fountain felt
the alcoholic effects almost imme-
diately. F. S. Caldwell state prohi-
bition enforcement attorney said that
if he found that the cider was causing
intoxication he would suppress its
sale under the constitution regardless
of the law enacted by the legislature.
The cider e'scaiK-s payment of the t'n-
ited States revenue tax by reason
of an afTadavlt of Its owner that there
has not been odde4 to it any distilled
Spirits wines the fermented Juice of
grapes or other small fruits nor other
alcoholic liquors coming under the rev-
enue laws requiring a revenue stamp.
On the label Is a statement by govern-
ment authorities that dealers are per-
mitted by the government to sell this
elder so long as it remains as It Is
precisely described. Healers here
have received letters froiu salesmen
of the elder guaranteeing It to contain
f per cent of alcohol.

Normtn Okla. Apiil 12. -- There
an' sveernl l :;.ons that the people of
Oklahoma must learn according to
Professor Could the state geologist
before the stale arrives at its best
development. and one of the most im-
portant Ip the prevention of waste.
Someone has said that a Chinaman
can live on what a Frenchman throws
away a Frenchman can live on what
a German throws away a German
can live on what an Knglishman
throws away and an Fngllshuian can
live on what an American throws
away. It is very certain that a New
Fiiglaud Yankee could live and grow
fat on what the ordinary Oklahoman
throws away.
We are so wasteful that we do not
realize it. We are wasteful ui our
soil of our coal of our gas of our
timber of our feed stuffs of our raw
materials of our labor. In fact of
everything we have.
As a single example take forage
or stock feed. There is enough good
ieed going to waste each year In the
shape of straw hay corn fodder and
j the like for any one of a score of
i counties In Oklahoma to keep all the
! cattle In such a state as Delaware or
V ermont. There la enough feed going
to waste in the 8'ate of Oklahoma
each year to keep all the cattle of
llelgluni or Spain. This valuable pro-
duct representing a vast amount of
nutriment taken from the soil Is al-
lowed to bum. or rot. and horse food
' properties are dissipated on the air
land lost forever.
I Take timber. All of the eastern
part oi the state contains timber
some of It very valuable chiefly oak
Hickory and pine within a very few
years this timber will be worth about
w hatever one wants to ask for It. The
supply of timber In the Flitted States
is nearly gone and unless we begin
planting trees there will soon be no
timber for building. Notwithstanding
this fact tne timber of eastern Okla-
homa Is being ruthlessly destroyed.
Everywhere one can nee field after
field being cleared by deadening the
timber and great oak and hickory
trees some o. them two feet In dia-
meter standing as bleat monuments
to our unthriftiness. Tie time will
conn during the life of those who
have deadened this timber and per-
mitted it to go to waste when the
timber will be worth more than the
land It stands on.
So with out soil. No state in the
I'nion has a greater variety of soil
or more fertile soil than has Okla-
homa and If it is properly cropped it
will keep Its fertility for many years.
Unfortunately the fanners are too
prone to permit their soil to become
impoverished. In many cases tho'
same land has been planted to the
same crop year after year with no
attempt at fertilization until the na-
tural fertility en the soil has disap-
peared. All over eastern Oklahoma
abandoned fields may be seen grow-
ing up Into thickets and wasting into
gullies.
.Much ot our land should never have
been broken up. Particularly is this
true of the sandy hillside land of the
counties in the central part of tin?
state. Such counties as Noble Paw-
nee Logan Lincoln Oklahoma Cleve-
land Pottawatomie McLean and Gar-
vin contain more of this sandy land
excellent for grazing but scarcely
worth breaking up for farm crops.
The heavy rains of the past two
years have washed and gullied this
land till much of It Is practically
valueless today. The soil has alt
been washed off the slopes down in-
to the valleys where It chokes the
streams and obstructs tho drainage
causing the bottoms to overflow until
neither hill nor bottom land Is worth
anything.
These are things the people or Ok-
lahoma must leai n. The time is fast
approaching when we must utilize all
the resourced of the f-tate our feed
Bluff our timber our soil our fuel. In
fact everything we have. The day
ot shiftless farming Is about over and
tho Hmo of careful systematic farm-
ing is here.
