THERE FOR BUSINESS
New Oklahoma Legislature to
Be of This Sort.
EQUALIZATION OF TAXES
By Stopping the Delinquent
Leak, Is One Proposition.

Guthrie. o. T, Dec. H-(Special)-The
coming legislature has been Slera1ded far
AID wide as a business legislature" and
with no sisms'' confronting it on which
TO waste valuable time, the people are
hopeful of number of needed reforms
in the sixty days to which the legislative
session is limited. Among the necessary
reforms that he will call attention 20 in
his message 1T is not unlikely that the
governor will direct the legislatures at
sention to that part OF the territorial
treasurer's report showing the amount Of
delinquent taxes owing the territories by
the several counties and suggest the franz
ing Of law that will compel more equi-
table collection OF public taxes. With
some such legislation that viii prove sue
cessful no tax raise legislation will be
necessary. Under the present system the
collection of the territorial tax is grossly
unequal. Last summer when the terrific
rial treasurer gave TO the press q state
ment Of the amount Of delinquent taxes
due from the several counties the oppo-
siion papers Including others that ought
10 be politically friendly raised a great
howl, and insisted that the treasurer mad
furnished the figures during the midst OF
the tax collecting period with the sinister
purpose Of showing up the counties in
the worst possible light. But with the
exception of Oklahoma and Woods coun-
ties, where the tax raise is still being re-
sisted, the collection of taxes for the year
1897 Is completed and the returns made
a..
territorial tax of s137. 75O.0S the delinquent
tax is s3s.593.92, or nearly q per cent. If
the delinquent taxes were equally dis
tributed over the several counties the sit
uation would not be so serious, but when

quency Of other counties.
Roger Mills county paid every dollar
OF the 1897 tax levied by the territory and
eleven dollars overpaid. Oklahoma county
paid CTS per cent and Woods county
CPS per cent though in these two coun-
ties the tax raise is stin being resisted.
II must be remembered. The per cent
of the 1897 tax paid by the other coun-
ties is as follows: Beaver 65.12. Blaine

The following table taken from the
treasuTer's report shows the amount of
tax levied since the organization of the
territory, the amount paid the balance
due and the per cent paid. 1t ought to
furnish food for reflection pending the

SPANS CRUEL HAND.
SENATOR GALLlNGER CALLS FOR
ANNEXATION.

In a Ringing speech in the United states
Senate He Reviews the Horrors of the
Situation in Cuha-Autonomy is Failure
--Span's Sovereignty should Cease.
Washington, ID. C.-Annexation to the
United States is the remedy for the present
condition of affairs in Cuba which Senator
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, recommends.
His speech in the Senate was a repetition
of the story of horror and hopelessness, of
starvation and death, told by Senator
Proctor on his return from the island.
He told of starving men, women and
children in the streets, of hospitals crowded
with the dying, without either adequate
food or medicine; of 425, 900 human beings
already dead and 200, 900 more who are
passed all relief and must die, no matter
how prompt the relief measures may be.
"The war in Cuba" he said, lis a war
of starvation and extermination-a war
more cruel than the world has ever known.
"What a chapter of horrors and death is
that! And still the tragedy goes on. How
much longer it shall continue depends
largely upon the torbearance of great
people who through suffering and sorrow
achieved their own independence and
whose sympathies have always gone out tc
the oppressed of all nations of the world.

London.-The Madrid correspondent of
the Standard says: Omitted States Minister
Woodford had an official interview with
the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the
Colonies Seniors Cullon and Morat, at the
private residence of the former. General
Woodford left with them an official note
explaining fully the views and intentions of
the American Government. The Spanish
reply, couched in firm language, says that
the Spanish Government cannot agree with
the conclusions the American Government
has drawn from inaccurate information,
and that the Government believes it has
reached the extreme limit of concessions
compatible with the honor and dignity of
Spain, and will not admit encroachments
on her rights of sovereignty in the West"

The Spaniards here are too ignorantly

of the 7O,000,O0 people and the untold

They see in the harbor the Maine a pitt
full wreck, the insignificant Fern and the

be equal, if not superior, in conflict, and
as nothing could be worse than present
prostration, they welcome even the pros

danger as they are at present Ignorant,

giving up their rifles for deposit in a COM
