Dr, Henry r. Hopkins, president OF the New

the Society for the Prevention OF Tuberculosis
said in n recent address before a woman's club Of

Dr Hopkins protested against allowing babies

FOR THE NATIONAL EMBLEM.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

TO the Editor or The Iribune-
Sir: There have been many opinions and discus
sions concerning a national flower; several States
have their chosen floral emblem. Indian corn has
been prominently suggested. and, while many of
US appreciate the beauty cf the growing crop and
the utility of the garnered ears there are patriotic
and other occasions when We would wish To wear
the nations flower. Corn could not be used in that
way. May the writer suggest that the favorfte
flower of President Mckinley shall become the pa-
tion's choice? Near the modest button which ne
always wore there often rested in fragrant beauty
a pink carnation. AS the national flower IL would
prove a fragrant memorial to the honored and be-
loved name of William Mckinley, Yours truly.

GOOD ROADS A
PAYING INVESTMENT


The recent rains and cnsequent ex-
eeedingly heavy roads with loss OF
retail trade have seryed to empha-
size a fact that las beSu long appar
ent and is just now calling ioedly for
attention and that is. the necessity for
better roads to and from this city.
The roads are perhaps no worse
than in otbe. localities, but that does
not obscure the plain business propo-
siIion, that better country roads are
a positive necessity TO the retail mer-
chants OF this citX
Other enterprises are good, but few
of them would realize the actual re-
turns on the Investment that would
come from good country roads Of low
grade and kept up IN good condition.
People viii not drive any farther
than thsy can help over poor roads
washed out and full OF heavy grades.
Steep hills prevent farmers from
drawing large loads to market and
greatly reduce the amount OF grain.

Low TAXES AND

LOW TAXES AND
SINGLE STATEHOOD.
The statehood question has vital
connection with taxes Single state.
hood means low taxes. Separate
statehood under the omnibus bill,
means high taxes why? Because
under single statehood there win be
twice as much property subject to
taxation as there will under statehood
for Oklahoma alone The expense OF
the large state will not be much more
than The expense Of the small one and
there will be twice the property sub
ject to taxation. Every man who has
paid taxes understands this, It is
sheer nonsense 20 talk Of increased
tcxes under ingle statehood
tn 4 vable wealth OF Indian terri
tory il now about $50 OOO, 600. oklaho-
ma about $7O.OOO.0oo. The certainty
Of immediate increase OF the taxable
property Of Indian territory in excess
Of the gain in Oklahoma within the
next year at once destroys all this
powwow about the poverty Of Indian
territory.
II higher taxes is what the people
want Mr. Flynn has proposed an OK
cellent plan for getting it aud Mr..
Mcclure has indorsed that plan as
his choice in the event we are to have
statehood at all
However, If lower taxes are what
the people want let them use their
ballots and their influence to secure
more property to bear the burdens Of
supporting a state government
It seems difficult to see how a tax
payer could be mislead by the fal-
lacious argument Of the Republican
campaigners into believing that he
would have to pay less tax to support
statehood for Oklahoma alone, with
$40 100000 of taxable property then
he would II both territories were
combined with immediate taxable
wealth Of s13O,OOO,OOO with the GER
tainty that taxable property in In
dian territory will triple in FIVE years
If taxpayers want low taxes now
is the time to act; not wait until the
deed is done and then kick. That will
do no good. II is a poor time to lock
the barn after the horse i stolen.
All in the world that is needed is
for voters to get at the taxable wealth
of the proposed state under the two
plans and then do a little quiet fig
uring on their own account and i'm
mediate single statehood cannot fail
to be their conclu-ion from the eco
standpoint as well as every
other.
The safety of the best interests of
the states and nation have alway
found a more ecure repository In the
hands of the plain. blunt American.
than In the hands OF set Of men
who were figuring out jobs for them
selyes and in this light the taxpayer
may well exercise his prerogative in
the solution of this statehood prob
lem
A vote for Hon. Bill Cross Is a VOTE
for immediate single statehood and
low taxes.
A vote for Mcguire is a vote for a
little Oklahoma and high taxes.
