HENDERSON cow eRTED.
Withdraws fills Opposition to Con-
sideration OF Statehood
Measure

Speaker Henderson has with
drawn his opposition to the con-
sid Sration of the bill granting
statehood to Oklahoma, New Mex
leo and Arizona. His capitulation
came after a lively session with
Chairman Knox of the committee
on territories. and Flynn. Rodney
and Smith, the delegates asked
for a day for the consideration of
the bill, stated that he had oppos-
cd il and had held a conference
with the leaders of the house ear
ly in the session. at which il bad
been agreed that there should be
no statehood legislation at this
session. He believed, be said,
that the territories, ii admitted,
would be democratic and that his
opposition had been based upon
political reasons.
Mr.. Rodney protested against
that action. He said il was unfair
for the speaker to hold a star
chamber session and decide upon
the rights OF the people.
Mr.. Knox added that the men,
bers of the committee on territor-
les had been converted by the ar
guments presented by the state
hood advocates.
Both Mr.. Rodney and Mr., Flynn
insisted that Oklahoma and New
Mexico were as sure republican as
were Iowa and If the republican
congress passed the statehood act,
there would be no question OF
these territories remaining in the
republican column.
The discussion which opened
with some heat on the part OF the
speaker, took a good natured turn
and Hr, Henderson finally agreed
to fx a day for ths consideration
of the measures.
He also indicated that he would
not offer any furthersOpposition to
the passage Of the bill. The dele
gates from the territories ARE elat-
ed over their victory and now be-
lieve that the bin will pass the

OUTLINES SYSTEM
OF Taxation to Support Free
Schools. and Reviewssthe Alb
eence of Educational .Fa-
cilities in the Indian
Territory.

The secretary Of the Interior h as
sent to the senate the report of
Frank Churchill, who was ap-
pointed under a provision of the
last Indian appropriation bill, to
investigate and report as to
whether it is practicable to pro.
vide system of taxation Of per-
sonal property, occupation and
franchises in the Indian Territory,
sufficient to maintain system OF
free schools for all the children OF
the territory. Mr.. Churchili's re-
port is one OF the most complete
that has been made on the affairs
OF the Indian territory. He pres
ents detailed facts concerning each
of the five tribes and statistics on
area, population. illiteracy and
other subjects of that character.
He summarizes the conditions as
follows:
II find that upwards Of hundred
thousand persons of school age re-
side In the Indian territory with
out free schools. Nearly s400, 600
of Indian funds is expended an
nually for the maintenance OF
tribal schools in which only from
1900 to Is, 900 pupils are enroll
ed. Only thirty towns authorized
to do so have raised a tax tor
schools amounting to about $780,
O0O. There is not less than 80
million dollars Of taxable property
to which additions are being made
almost hourly, upon which a tax
of one-third of l per cent would
amount to one.fourth million dol.
lars. An occupation tax would
yield s125, 900 and poll tax not
less than s100. 900. TO which $780,
600 to $1,000 should be added
for the tax on railroads, telegraph
telephone and other corporations
and franchises to correspond with
the above amounts. A small
average income from land leases
would amount to 100000. The
total OF these items is 1915, 900,
and, in my opinion, that amount
can be raised without proving a
burden upon any person.
ssTo institute system of free
schools il will first be necessary to
divide the territory into districts,
not to exceed thirty, and tax
provided, the districts to be SUBJ
divided into municipal townships
for school purposes, each said
townships being authorized to levy
a special tax fa- school purposes
when regularly voted, not to ex-
ceed per cent OF the valuation of
taxable property. The thirty dis
tricts should be established at
once under the direction of the
Secretary Of the Interior and the
subdivisions made in order to
place the interior section upon the
same footing as to authority to
tax themselves for schools as the
incorporated towns now are, under
the Curtis act. Under such aulhori-

done so.

MISAPPLlED WORDS,
Some Expressions the Use OF Which
Should Be Reformed.

Some Expressions the Use OF Which
Should Be Reformed.
extra" is an abused word. People
say extra good or extra cheap in
order to intensity good and cheap
But extra" has no such force. So far
from intensifying a given condition, it
denies it by indicating that the thing
so described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, extra judicial
does not mean more than ordinarily ju-
dicial, as though judge had dredged
his conscience in giving an opinion, but
outside of judicial and therefore inca
pable of being judged at all in the pre-
scribed way.
= grievous fault is the use Of ''iden-
tify" in a phrase like this, "He is lden-
titled with the characterization move
ment." 4 man can only identify him
self with another man or set Of men.
He can identify himself with the op-
poDents Of vaccination-and even here
the word carries q shade Of meaning Of
its own, Distinguishing the phrase from
such one as ''he joined the opponents
