Oklahoma's Governor Speaks His Mind

GUTHRIE, Oct. 15.-Governor Steele's
first report was made public today. He
favors the opening of the Cherokee lands
and recommends a different method
than that used recently in opening the
town site to settlement. In speaking of
opening the lands on the western border
the governor says unless arrangements
are made to throw them open early next
spring, in time for settlers to put in their
crops for next year, it will mean hard
ship, destitution, sickness and death,
among hundreds of settlers, who have
been long on its borders waiting for
homes.

few hundred to nothing, or else by a
spirit of petty personal spite on the part
of the editor of the paper against men
who have treated him with the social
scorn to which he is justly entitled. 1t
is useless to look for any elevated mo-
tive in explanation of them. because
this same paper. endeavOred to foist into
the mayoralty OF this city a year ago a
m an Unfit to be entrusted even with the
management of trampS' lodging
house, and to substitute for honest
JOHN ROCHE a nobody who could not
tell set of books from buckSaw. A
paper which would undertake this sort
of work is no friend of st. Paul. 1t is
black-hearted; it has hay Oh its horn.
Let decent men look out for it. We
think that they do. But its flaming
headlines attract the attention of the
scandal monger abroad. There are not
many bankrupt cities in the United
States. and when it is publicly charged
by a newspaper dependent OH local
patronage for its support that st. Paul
IS unable to meet its just debts as they
fall due, it is noticed the tidings are
published in the streets OF Gath and
Askelon. 1t is for our people to decide
whether they enjoy sucking vampire.
But it will help them to make up their
minds when they understand that in
suits like that which the Mutual Life
Insurance company has seen fit to offer
us are attributable to the efforts of the
Evening Stiletto.

TAX METHODS.

The Chicago papers are StrenUOuSlv
insisting that the rate of taxation in
that city is quite moderate in compari-
son with that of the other large cities.
Its Indebtedness is less than that of
some other of less population and
wealth, but the system of assessment is
vicious and creates a wrong impression.
For instance, Boston has 49, 900 popuIa-
ton, and Chicago 1 I, 000, 900. Boston is. of
course, the richer in proportion to pop
ulation, but its taxable property can
hardly exceed that of the worlds far
city. Yet the tax list in Boston shows
SS20,OO0.GO0 to $4,000, 900 in Chicago.
The latter certainly raises as much
money by taxation as the New England
metropolis, but the tax rate must be
quite different. 1t is about 1.3 in Bos-
ton, and in the hah-dozen townships
included in Chicago the average is near
% per cent It is not infrequent in Hi
noiS towns that the tax rate is from TO
u per cent One reason for the growth
OF this vicious practice has been the de-
sire to show small figures in the allot-
ment of state taxes. Some counties have
gone to such absurd extremes that the
state board has raised their tax lew
from 200 to 800 per cent. Cook county.
of which Chicago is the main part. is
usually raised from 20 to 80 pc. cent.
The system is fraud upon its face. as
the assessors and taxpayers must take
all oath to give property its actual value.
The apprasing officials are required
to develop elasticity of conscience

HER LIFE-sAvING SKIRT.
The Device of Travelling Lady to
Save Herself From Drowning.

'Whiie my wife and | were on our
last trip to Europe" said gentleman
to a Detroit News man the other day,
we met a middle-aged lady who was
going over for her health, and my wifi e
and she became great friends. On e
day, while sitting i'll the ladies' private
cabin. the lady said: Let me show you
myIlife preserver.' and removing her
outer skirt my wife beheld skirt that
was curiosity if nothing more. Run
ming up and down the skirt, at dis
lance of two or three inches, were soft,
flexible rubber bands about two inches
wide. They we're sewed on at the side
OF each band AMI ran all the way around
the skirt, and at the top they were all
joined to broad rubber band six inches
wide. At the top of this band was a
rubber tube about two feet long, which
ran up the waist in front and was left
resting OH the top of the corset.
Said the lady: You behold one
of my own inventions for saving my
life. In case of an accident all have
to do is to take the end of the rubber
tube in my mouth, and in two minutes
can fill all of the rubber bands. which
are hollow and alright with air. Then,
tying the tube in hard knot, | am
ready for the waves. This skirt, when
| strike the water, will spread out in
the shape of pond lily leaf. and l will
rest on it in an upright position as easy
as though reclining upon couch, and L
can float around until picked up
''AS our voyage was pleasant one,
we did not have an opportunity to see
how it would work. but | have no doubt
it would work WE'LL"

of their position. One who is cranky
enough to recognize the obligation OF
his oath endangerS his popularity and
official life. Individuals at times, in a
thoughtless or conscientious mood, re-
turn their moneys OF valuables at face
or real values, and are victims of griey-
Gus injustice. People are trained by
this system to become evaders of taxa
ton. In cases of personal and invisible
property. when men find that self-pro-
lection compeIs them to lie, they easily
persuade themselves to extend the
mendacity to the limits of evasion.
Those with large values are apt to be
most easily impressed with this reason
ing, and, as a result, the small property
holders pay the greater part of the
taxes and the rich escape. The Boston
plan comes nearer the proper equality
of taxation.
