tax DODGERS

No citizen of Vinita has the
moral right to dodge his just share
OF city taxes. 1t is the plain duty
OF every good citizen to bear his
share Of the burdens of govern.
ment. The tax dodger cannot
properly be placed In the list Of
honest men. II he fails or refuses
to list his taxable property he
violates both the spirit and the
letter OF the law, and seeks to
thwart the end for which the city
is Incorporated into a body polite.
Our streets are in deplorable
condition, pavement and drainage
are needed, and our schools are
sadly in need OF funds TO pay ad.
ditienal teachers, and there are
many other matters Of pressing
public necessity all dependent up.
on taxation, and certainly no one
should try to escape a just share
In the burden, For few Of the
abler ones to refuse to be taxed in
proportion to their worth, is un.
fair to others who have assumed
their part Of the obligation. The
poor man who Is compelled to
pay dollar street tax is doing
more in proportion for the up.
building Of the town than the man
who is worth many thousands aud
sho successfully lodges a good
share Of what he ought to ray.

Kansas City tried the expen
ment OF closing ali her saloons
during the time the floods were
highest there last week, TO the end
that good order might prevail in
the stricken city until relief came
in the abatement Of the waters.
II was a good time to be sober and
the city authorities thought il
wise TO do all in their power to
maintain order. II was virtual
acknowledgement that the saloons
were the chief elements Of disturb

in the time of danger and trial
they should be closed. But the
question arises: Why should il
not be sensible thing to close
them all the timer Why does any

tain nuisance and recognized

THE LAND OFFICE.

The folly of moving the land Of.
fee from Vinita at the end of four
months, and at a time when there
was the greatest rush Of ohero.
kees to file, has been more than
demonstrated. The Office vas in
operation at Tahlequah one month
and the filing run far below thai
at Vinita for the same length Of
time and at no time was there a
rush and crowd about the Office
at Tahlequah. Il is fully proven
that the work OF allotment could
have been greatly facilitated and
the end reached much sooner by
continuing at Vinils in easy reach
Of the masses and in the midst Of
the bulk Of the allottable lands.
From now on IL will be slower
than ever at Tahlequah as those
10 that section who really desired
10 file have done so, and many Of
the fullbloods don't care . snap
whether they file or not, besides
they can get 70 and from Yinita
easier than Tahlequah. The wise
course for the Interior Department
ct this iunclure would be TO move
the office back to vinita and con
tinue one year without interrup.
ton. Az has been repeatedly
stated IN these columns II is not a
question Of the commercial ad
vantage the Office will bs to
Vinita or 70 Tahleqush. but the
fastening Of tbs work Of slloimsnt
