the issue of $100,OO0,00O in bonds. \
spirited debate took place Wednesday
between Dinglcy and Bailey, leaders OF
the rival forces in the House, in which
some uf the salient issues of the finan.
cial question, so long before the people
were presented. Speaking for the bill

supreme Court had declared the
measure unconstitutional. That was
enough for him and his purpose. not
outstanding the fact that the opinion
of the court was SO equally poised that
it was doubtful for twcnty-iour hours
whether the constitutional inhibition
applied or not. He urged the bond

that nobody questioned the right of

ed beyond the borders of the United
States"
While Representative Bailey, the
leader of the minority, conceded the
necessity of raising revenue to carry on
the war, he declared that he nor his
supporters could ever be coerced or
driven into voting for measures
which commended themselves neither
to conscience nor judgment. He said
that the system of taxation in the bill
had been so framed rs to fail most
heavily upon the producing classes.
ave PROPOSE" he said, to tax the
rich man now, rather than to mort
gage the poor man tor coming gener-
ations." He noted the fact that the
bill omitted tax on bank capital and
bank deposits, and if there was one
species of property, he affirmed, above
all others that ought to be the SUBJ
jcct ofextraordinary taxation, it was
bank deposits, which aggregated in
the country $1,7OO,OOO,OOO. Imper-
feet and unjust as the bill was, how
ever, his side of the house would ac-
cept it if the majority would incorpor-
ate their proposition for an income
tax, which would provide an additional
income of $10O,OOO,OO0. at is" he
affirmed " the most just tax ever con-

of stress, because l would not want it

the poor gave more of their blood than
the rich were willing to give of their
treasure" After an evening session,
which probably ended the three days
discussion of the bill, it went over for
vote yesterday.

II commenting upon the result
Of the recent election Col. wv. =.
Bryan says: 1T was not a trial
upon the issue now before the peo-
pie, but a successful plea for a
continuance of the case. The peo-
pie have not accepted the gold
standard; they have not fallen IN
love with the plan to give the
banks monopoly of the Issue of
paper money; they have not de-
cided to retire the greenbacks;
they have not surrendered to the
trusts. These questions were
forced into the background by the
declaration of war, but they must
be faced again as soon as peace is
restored. The Chicago platform
presents for public consideration
certain vital economic questions.
That platform has not been aban-
doned by those who indorsed it in
'96. 1t will be reaffirmed in 1900
because it gives expression to the
hopes and aspirations of a large
majority of the party. When the
Democrats, Populistss and Silver
Republicans favored Cuban indie
pendence they understood that war
would give a temporary advantage
to the party in power, but they
were willing to risk defeat in order
to aid a people fighting to be free"
Mr.. Bryan is right. The Chicago
platform principles are as vital to-
day as they were in 1896, and in
1900 the people will endorse them
by electing a President and Con-
gress that will enact them into
laws for the good and prosperity
of the American people.

are put by the first of December
has priority right to them and
can buy them at fifty per cent of

informed that we are in error as to
the date; that the owner of lot
can hold it by building on it at
any time prior to the assessment
by the commissioners. We have
always understood that this right
expired on Dee. 1st, and made
note of it to give all parties who
wished to build timely warning.
We are truly glad to understand
that we are in error. This will
encourage many to buy lots and
improve them.

TOWN LOT VALUATIONS.

As there is a great deal of spec
ulation among city property own
ers at what value their lots will be
assessed by the commissioners, ap-
pointed to make said assessment,
we give below what the Atoka
treaty or agreement, which has
been adopted by the Indians in
lieu of the Curtis bill, says:
When said towns are SO laid
out, each lot on which permanent.
substantial and valuable improve
ments, other than fences, tillage
and temporary houses, have been
made shall be valued by the COM
mission provided for the nation in
which the town is located at the
price fee:simple title to the same
would bring in the market at the
time the valuation is made, but
not to include in such value the
improvements thereon. The own
er Of the improvements on each lot
shall have the right to buy one
residence and one business lot at
so per centum of the appraised
value of such improved property, ).
and the remainder Of such inn
proved property at 81 IL per
centum of the said market value
within sixty days from date of no.
tice served on him that such lot is
for sale, and if he purchase the
same he shall within ten days from
his purchase, pay into the treasury
of the United States one-fourth of
the purchase price, and the bal
ance in three equal annual INSTALL
ments, and when the entire sum is
paid shall be entitled to a patent
for the same.
In the first place, you will see
that the law doesn't consider
fences, tillage and temporary
houses" permanent, substantial
and valuable improvements" that
in order to hold the lot you must
have permanent, substantial and
valuable improvements on it other
than fences, tillage and temporary
houses" What the commissioners
will consider permanent, SUBJ
stantial and valuable improve
ments' is conjecture.
The law also says the lots
shall be valued by the commits
sioners at the price a fee-simple
title to the same would bring in
the market at the time the valua-
ton is made" The owner can
buy one business lot and one resi-
dence lot at so per centum of the
appraised value, and all his other
lots at 62 1-2 per centum of their
market value, and their market
value shall be the price a fee-Sim-
pie title to the same would be
worth at the time the valuation is
made. Now, the ques' .on is, what
is a fee-simple title to your busi-
ness or residence lot worth. What
ever that is, according to this law,
the commissioners are bound to
assess it.
If the commissioners assess the
values at the figures some of the
owners are now asking for lots
great will be the howl in these
parts, and some will no doubt re-
gret they didn't take the advice of
the ARDMORETTE some weeks ago
and not ask such wild prices for
lots.
The ARDMORETTE has no inti-
nation what the commission will
do; what they will call perma-
nent, substantial and valuable I'M
provements, or what they will
consider fee-simple title to lot
is worth. They have great power,
under the law, and unless they ex-
ercise this power very cautiously.
prudently, justly and honestly
great harm will be done. This
the ARDAoREITE has every conf
dence will be done.
