Look to Your Interests


We understand the equalization
board adjourned to next Monday to
consider any complaints that may
come before them with reference to
erroneous or improper taxation.
Then is the time and Erie is the
place to file these complaints. The
complaints will be heard by three
competent and experienced, honor
able business men and will receive a
careful and unbiased consideration
There has been some complaint
among the oil men of this locality
of unfair assessment.
We hope that every man who has
or thinks he has a grievance will ap
pear before that board and let hi
claims be known.
This board is the lawful tribuna
to which all such complaints Shout;
be made and they have the power
and, we trust, the disposition T.
correct any inequalities orinjustice
of assessment that may be present
ed to them.

lmnortant Decision.

The suit Of j. w. Squier ct. al.
against St. Louis & Kansas Oil and
Gas Co. for the cancellation Of lease
of 725 acres near Humboldt worth
from half to a million dollars, on
which are located 81 fee oil wells,
ended yesterday in a victory for
defendants, Judge Foust sustaining
the demurrer Of the defence and
refusing to appoint receiver and
cancel the lease. The plea for can
collation. was on the grounds that a
clause OF the lease providing that the
lease be cancelled il three rigs were
not kept at work simultaneously had
not been kept and the decision on this
point will be of great interest to the
Kansas oil public.
Judge Foust ruled that in Itself
was not grounds sufficient for can
collation.. Damages he said might bt
collected but the only condition OF
the lease that would cause its cancel
lation was the one providing thu {
drilling must be begun in thirty day.

Gas Piping.
Still the talk of piping gas is Ike

Still the talk of piping gas is kept
up. An effort from the other end
of the line to secure charter is now
being pushed.
The application has been made
and held up temporarily. An effort
is being made to have united pro
test 60 up to the charter board from
the entire gas belt. If united OPP
position is made and stiff and de-
termined fight put up, The efforts to
obtain a charter should be defeated.
1t is a great benefit to the state
at large to retain the gas at home
and force those who want to use it to
come into the state to enjoy that
great boon. If the charter board
can be made to see that the interests
of the state would greatly suffer by
allowing the gas piped away they
surely would be authorized to refuse
to give it their official sanction.
If this fails the next fight will bt
from the farmers on a right of way
and the county commissioners to
keep the pipe lines from crossing.
the public highways. The right OF
the commissioners to prohibit the
laying of pipes in and across the
roads has been doubted, but since
they have the right to declare roads
open or closed and have general
supervision over them it looks like
they would have right to prohibit
their use to foreign corporation
to put them to use entirely for
eign to that for which they were es.
tablished.
II some foreign corporation should
decide to run an irrigating ditch
down the middle of the road con
verting half or two-thirds of the
road to that use, no one denies for
moment that they could lie
stopped.
A pipe line. though not to such al
extent as would an irrigatinf
ditch; interferes, more or less, will
the legitimate use of the road, anf
we believe it can be stopped on th'
same grounds.
At any rate it is we'll worth th'
trial. The laws prohibit the ship
ping of game birds out of the state
Why can not they prohibit th'
transportation of much more val
liable commodity.
The land of the highway belong.
to the adjoining farms for all bu'
road purposes. The farmer can and
rely will object to the laying o.
gas pipes along his land to the i'm
poverishment and ruination of his
own community.
Such thingsu in an early day
would have been met by free use
of dynamite or other explosive
Every legal means known must lie
employed to stop this great injustice
and hold it up till the next legisla
ture convene, when laws sufficiently
strong can surely be devised to
meet the exigencies of the occas-
ION.
The whole state should be, and,
doubtless, is with us in this fight ano
no law can be devised so stringent
that it will not pass the legislature.
The man who will not fight for hi
own home and state is unworthy OF
any trust whatever.
A determined fight and a fight
all together will defeat this Infamous
measure.
We just learn by telegram that
the charter board has set the hear
ing for this matter at 9 o'clock next
Monday.
