INDIAN TERRITORY NOT READY
Ex-Governor Al. Seay Would Give
OklahOma State Rights.

hood for Oklahoma at the earliest
possible moment. He would
have been against almost any
declaration for statehood in the
Republican congressional platform
other than the one adopted, which
said briefly: 1.-The republican
party Of Oklahoma pledges itsel Il
to earliest possible statehood for
this territory"
Governor Seay koes not ap-
prove Of a coalition with Indian
Territory in any form until after
Oklahoma has been given state
hood separately. Said he:
1T is foolish for the democrats
or any one else to say that we
favor immediate single statehood
for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. Indian Territory will not
be ready to make a change for
eight or ten years, and Oklahoma
cannot afford to wait. Further
more, | am Of the opinion that
Indian Territory would cast about
three-ffths of the votes under sim
gle statehood, an advantage which
would be unjust toOklahoma, as
it would control the location of
territorial institutions and deprive
Oklahoma of large portion Of
her school land funds. Indian
Territory has no public school
lands and never will have. The
thing to do is to give state rights
to Oklahoma. She will have two
senators and two congressman and
can control the situation in a
to protect herself"

Further, we do not want all Off
GERS and no tax payers. AL this
time IL looks like every one ia
looking for an Office or an easy
snap, so he can live off Of some
one else.
Our government is fast drifting
on toward empire, and the mill
tary spirit is being fostered to its
utmost. Thousands OF men are
now joining the army, not through
patriotic motives | fear, but to get
a job and finally get onto the PEN
sion rolls. The time will soon be
on us when about every fourth
man will be supporting the other
three in idleness, so we ought to
thwart this an every way we can.
We do not want so many drones.
We do not want so many officials.
We do not want too many states
out of so small an area, as no state
has ever been enlarged after once
admitted, therefore more states
means more officers, more insti-
tutions, more corruption, more
taxes. So let US look to the fu-
ture and prevent this while we
can, and let the Declaration Of In
dependence and the Monroe doc
trine be our platform and guide.

SINGLE STATEHOOD.
Thinks One State Cheaper
Than Two.

Uhleftain that you touch up the
statehood question little in an
editorial. You take the position
that double statehood is the best
and only proper thing to do, and
introduce as argument the fact that
the Indian Territory is larger in
population and area, wealth and
intelligence than some of the west
ern states and also North Carolina.
Now | will admit that you perhaps
are correct in these statementssbut
yet there are other reasons think
that are stronger for single state
hood than those are for double
statehood.
1st. | will admit that there are
several states that in point ofsarea
are considerably smaller than the
Indian Territory, notable Rhode
Island; but we do not want any
Rhode Islands or Delaware's out
west, and we ought to profit by
past observation. 1t will cost as
much to run each of the states if
two are made as it would both if
combined, and inasmuch as Okla
homa has most all of the machin-
cry of statehood now in running
order. such as state buildings, ,puni-
versity, normal schools, assylums,
etc., and inasmuch as Oklahoma
is destined to be one OF the m6st
prosperous and rich sections Of the
United States in the near future
why should one be SO prejudiced or
ashamed to unite with her in the
holy bonds of matrimony. AS to
the Indebtedness Of Oklahoma, we
would not be subject to pay her
local Indebtedness, but only our
part of the now territorial indebt-
,edness which would then be the
indebtedness of the whole state.
And inasmuch as large proper
tion Of the lands of Oklahoma are
patented by the government
and are therefore taxable, and +
while it is more than likely that
thelilands Of the Indian Territory
will be made non-taxable for a
period of years, you can readily
see who would bear the burdens of
taxation. Furthermore, Oklaho-
ma and the Indian Territory com-
bined are not as large as the state
of MissOnri, and we do not want
to be mere figure surrounded by
the great-states Of Texas, Kansas,
Colorado, Missouri and Arkansas,
but we want to look respectable oa
the mapE, and do not want to sup
port a set of state officials and
state institutions of of such a
small area ,.as any one can see at
once that 10 all cases the more Of
ficials and 'institutions to support
the more taxes to pay. AS far as
things politically are concerned,
congress is 'not going to do any
thing in the premises until the po-
IiticsI atmosphere clears up to
suit its complexion; but let me
say right here that while 0kIaho-
ma is in the wreng camp just now,
believe she wall soon repent Of
the way she has been doing, and
will soon be found parading when
the white plume waiveth, viz:
straight towards the Bryan camp,
and then We surely can have a
happy wedding.
