We are much better of as a territory

more taxable personal property 10 the
five tribes than in Oklahoma When
taxes are 50 high the people will not
prove up on their land until they have
to. nearly ali ear put that day of for
three Years. and many longer. Do
you think men will prove up on their
claims when they can do just as well
without 50 doing. and avoid the four
per cent tax? The strip will not aid
in the burdens Of statehood, as the
whole or nearly the whole expense
