C. Walton, unable to dominate the Farmer-Labor Reconstruction league for Oklahoma, has definitely broken | with that organisation, which elected hin,, and announces that he will go "direct" to the nennle withn.it cnncRU rriog the executive UurT of the 1 By ERNEST R. CHAMBERLAIN league. First evidence of the break came with tlie discharge of two league members of the board of agriculture and the removal of George Wilson as president of the Oklahoma A. & M. college, following the bitter attack of the American Legion upon Wilson. The dismissal of tin- Wilson board of. agriculture followed the discharge of Joe Strain, league member, who had been named as state hank commission er. and the governor's complete sub mission to the dictation of the anti league attorney general and the anti-I league president of the board of agri- I culture. ' Governor Walton for some time has wavered between the two elements of 1 the Democratic party, threatened with ' impeachment by the majority of the | legislature, which the league never i contioiled, and apparently reluctant to farmer-labor backing i But the pressure has been too great j ami subsequent developments may re veal the exact nature of the real fore-! Walton's , change of front. Walton has been under fire from or- 1 ganized labor, due to his failure to put ; a stop to the contract labor system at ! the state penitentiary, as promised, ! ami his failure to demand the union i . . . . , 'or leaders have lesent ed the inzuence of a coterie i corpor ation lawyers who have been foremost m the governor s counsels.

But his decision was changed on the Wilson matter by his sudden decision to run for the senate in two years. Tho league denounced this move, as it would leave the governor's chair to abandon the es which brought about lahel on state piinting.

The present law permits the naming of the entire election machinery by the lieutenant governor, and provides many loop-holes for disfranchisement. AUSTRALIANS WIN FOURTH VICTORY QUEENSLAND LABOR PARTY IS VICTOR ONCE MORE —WILL CONTROL GOVT. BRISBANE, Queensland.—For the fourth time in succession the Labor party has swept the polls in the gen eral elections in the state of Queens land. This is perhaps the first time in the history of world politics that a party has maintained its idlntitjV thru' four successive parliaments without resorting to coalition with the other parties. The big majroities given to the labor government of Queensland means that for 11 years, Queensland is to have continuous labor rule. An other record established was that the tabor party did not lose a single seat, but made gains from its opponents. The fight was waged on a straight -1 out issue—capitalism against the so -1 . a > ,. j. .. .. cialization qf industry, production, ^ tnbution and exchange. The ami labor parties called the labor policy of socialization the red objective of Bol shevik policy, ami asserted that a vie tory for labor would be interpreted as, " <l® clsloa of the electors in favor of soviet rule. And labor won, smashing down its opponcmsnh all directions. Ino most prominent feature of the campaign was the landslide °'^ 1 farmers to the labor party.

E. Bradfute. "The papers have magnified an in jury from one of our state bureaus into a decision of the national feder ation," Bradfute s^ys. rota bureau submitted a plan to im port farm laborers from Russia ami Czechtf-Slovakia to the bureaus in the other states and to us for com ment. No returns are in yet on the proposal. Our general position is that an ascertained shortage of farm labor should be met by increased im migration, but we are not acting in that direction now." The American Farm Bureau Fed eration is an association of 47 state bureaus, each in turn being an associ ation of the county farm bureaus in the state. The national body was or ganized in March, 1919. It has an annual income of about $250,000 de rived from a 50 cents per capita on half a million members affiliated thi-ough the state bureaus. The coun ty bureaus number about 1,500,000 members, paying $10 a year, accord ing to Bradfute. State bureaus re ceive up to 50 per cent of the county bureau's revenue. Commenting on the American Farm Bureau Federation's reputation for conservatism, and even, in some quarters, for reaction, Bradfute said: "Yes, we are a conservative organiza tion. We do not jump at every new' idea before it has been tested. We do "The Minne i not exclude farmers who have suc ceded in reaching the point wfcere they can manage their properties and leave the actual farm work to others. We are organized to promote every sane measure calculated to help the American farmer." The nucleus of the state and na tional framework is the county bur eau. This centers about the county agept .who represents the state agri cultural college or experiment sta tion. The agent, who k; not permit ted to hohl .office in the bureau, con ducts the county institute, where the latest farming developments and keting projects are discussed, paid from a combined federal, state and county appropriation whiçh usu ally comes through the agiicultural college. Occasionally local farmers contribute additional money to get a better man or to engage in additional work. Bradfute, who succeeded J. R. How ard as national president, is the third generation in his family to cultivate the family farm near Xenia, Ohio. He specializes in beef cattle and is the senior member of D.

James H.
