Taxing Corporations.
In Prescott Prospect.

ItSSOtt, hIlL., MdICu f' ioO-'
 TIE MORALES OASIS of recent issue in lengthy editorial, advocates the taxing of mining corporations. The article deals exclusively with those large mining corporations and sets forth at length how little they pay the state for the privileges they receive. The thing that puzzles the writer is why should you tax the mining corporation and not the canal corporation, the railroad corporation, the merchant corpora ton, and while it is not the last 1t is long way from being the least, the banking corporation. While it may tickle the fancy of a news paper man to roast" the Copper Queen and United Verde, and declare they should be taxed propor- tionately with other property, but why should they any more than other wealthy corporations? Every one knows that the farmer. stock man. small merchant and trades man bears the burden of taxation. The writer believes with TIE OASIS that mining corporations should be taxed. and as we'll every other com pany that benefits by our laws. lam not corporation man and believe that our past legislatures have not acted wisely in looking after the territory's interest along this line. In every charter granted a com pany by Arizona there is an article which reads in effect as follows: That the private property of each officer and stockholder of said cor poration shall be exempt from cor porate debts" In some places they have laws that will punish man if he employs labor without the wherewith to pay for it, but if the above quotation does not smack of rascality, or aids, assists and even invites rascality then we are not in sympathy with the long-headed solon who worked it in on his CO., laborers. After becoming a law GO" has been all right, but l know of few instances where 'laborers' have not been so fortunate.
 Now, understand that com pany of three or more can incor- porate under the laws of Arizona to the extent of any amount at a cost of about $50. And this Is all that it ever costs as far as the orig inal corporation is concerned. Now I am d taxpayer in this county and I do not believe in 'robbing Peter to pay Paul." but in view o the fact that Arizona exacts so lit tie and receives so little from cor porations why would it not be the proper thing to assess annually the capital stock at its par value of all companies that are now operating under our laws at, say, one-fourth or even one-half of one per centi Require those companies who are doing business in the territory (li there are any) under charters from other states to also incorporate un- der the laws of Arizona. This seems to me to be democratic. IL will add to the treasury of the ter ritory new revenue; 1t will be readily paid because it makes nc distinction; it will not be objected to and will be paid by the large mining companies who on the other hand if arbitrarily taxed will tel the territory to go to the devil ano will see that it comes pretty neal doing so; it will be the means o- legitimate men incorporating fol legitimate purposes; it will wiring barrels of water out of stock ano

From latest accounts Flynn is just
whooping things up over in Connect
cut. The Mcclure campaign is getting
strenuous.
~S~S~NI~~NN-NN~-NSNS~.NJ~
The answer is plain. There is no
ether equal and fair way except the
way that Is set forth in the democratic
platform. and that way was advocated
by both the South McAlester and Mus
kogee single statehood conventions in
which a number of the leading repub-
licans of Oklahoma participated.
The cry that is going up from the
Mcclure boosters Is the old cry OF
wolf" They seek to divert attention
rom their own proposition by accus-
ing their opponents of the very things
that they, themselves, are trying to ac-
complish. But they are going TO fall
several thousand votes short of their
target this year.

BIG FOUR ARE PLOTTING
OF An UnhoIy Alliance of Politicians
Who Want to Go to the
Senate

COLI Bob Owen the Muskogee tank-
er. who Is numbered among those who
have grown fat over the snaps offered
in the Indian territory under the CON
Gitions which prevail there. was in the
city yesterday in conference with Bird
McGuire. Sidney Clarke and others
whose future political prosperity de-
ponds upon Oklahoma ana Indian ter
ritoyics becoming separate states.
Coz. owen called the Oklahoman rep
rcsentative aside from a group
aHd proceeded to interview himself on
the statehood question.
"Yuu people Of Oklahoma have given
vogue to the idea that single statehood
Is inevitable, while the contrary s the

A BUSINESS VIEW.

At every convention and in every in
stance where an expression of senti-
nlent upon the subject has been up for
consideration of Oklahoma, when poll
tics was not factor. the business in
forests OF this territory have resolved
IN favor of single statehood. The bust
moss men of Oklahoma are not running
for office. nor are they aspirants for a
seat in the United States senate, II
they were they might get in such a big
rush fer statehood that they would
be willing to have their particular
county admitted as state, as some OF
the politicians now give evidence.
The arguments that have been made
for statehood from a business stand
point are Just as true now as ever.
In fact, they are more forceful; for
now the Indian tribes are in state of
dissolution and the lands in the In.
dian Territory are about ready for al
lotment-a condition precedent TO
statehood which has never existed be-

THE GUILTY PARTIES.
The real fellows who are trying to
divide the Oklahoma school fund with
the Indian Territory without any rec
immense. are those fellows who are
boosting Mcclure and the omnibus
| statehood bill.
According to the provisions of this
omnibus statehood bill, the Indian
Territory may be added piecemeal an
ter Oklahoma gets statehood, but abso'
lutely no provision is made for school
lands In tho Indian Territory. In case
that territory should be added piece
meal it would become the beneficiary
OF our school fund as fast as 1t might

lahoma. What does the business man
and taxpayer Of Oklahoma care about
their ambition? Especially when It is
placed in the balance against his inter,
ests and the interests of his children.
There is but one thing for the bust
ness man to do in this election, and
that is to declare for single statehood
and lower taxation. 1t is a matter for
not only the present but the future.
All his hopes are wrapped up in It..
and he owes no such a price to any
politician in this territory. The pen
atty of double statehood is too great.
The people can not afford to leave
such price for all future generations
to pay on the installment plan. They
can just as easily vote for immediate
statehood for both territories as for
one.
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1901-190?, 1902-10-31


fore, This means that a vast amount
of land and other property in the In
dian Territory is just about to become
available for taxation, and it makes
the argument for single statehood
stronger than it has ever been since
the agitation was commenced. There
is certainly no reason for any man who
has ever been for single statehood in
the past gCing back on the proposition
now, when he is nearer than ever to
the realization of his hopes. The bust.
ness man is going to take a business
view OF it. 1t is nothing 70 him
whether this or that politician gets into
the United States senate. 1t is ques-
ton OF taxation for the future state.
1t is a matter that towers far above
the ambitions of individuals who aspire
for office. These politicians who are
so desirous of breaking into the Unit
for the people of Oklahoma. Some of
them pay very little of their own.
They want the salary and the prestige,

be admitted. In the end the result
would be just what the republicans are
clamoring so violently against just
now-the equal division of Oklahoma's s
| school fund.
Anybody can see this proposition.
On the other hand, the democratic
platform demands a statehood that
shall provide at once for the school
funds in the Indian Territory, and that
they shall then be admitted as one
state, on equal terms in every respect.
Which is the fair and honest way.

Another Myth Exploded.
A recent German traveller in the

handsome men, but not one of the
beautiful women for which that region
is famous. although in the villages
everybody turned out to see him.
