NEW STATES TO Be KNOWN AS ARIZONA AND OKLAHOMA.

require majority of the votes of Okla

Ecation. dc claimed that any other course
would be unfair and unjust to those Ter
fltories; that q similar regulation should
be made as to the union of Arizona and
New Mexico, and that they should not be
combined if either Territory should OBJ
ject
Mr.. Lloyd strongly asserted himself for
Immediate statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. He said it is not ueces-
sary TO wait until 1896. Il oppose the in
equality of representation" said he ..and
demand equal recognition in the Consti-
tutional Convention Of both Territories
Tho provision in this bill which fixes the
capitals at Guthrie and Santa Re until
1910 violates the proper provisions of other
sections which give the new States, when
admitted. the same rights and privileges
as other States. Other States have the
right 20 remove their caritals ut will"
Mr.. Lloyd maintained that both par
ties are committed BY t.cir platforms to
the support of statehood for each of the
Territories: but that there is no war
rant for the union Of Arizona and New
Mexico; that the Territories had not asked
for. but had openly protected against it.

revolutionary III its character and con-

BLAINE ON
HENRY G. DAVIS

Henry G. Davis of Maryland,
entered as the first Democratic
Senator of West Virginia. His
personal popularity was a large
factor in the contest against the
Republicans of his State, and he
was instantly rewarded by his
party as its most influential lead
er. Mr.. Davis had honorably
wrought his own way to high
station and had been all his life
in active affairs as a farmer, a
railroad man, a lumber man, an
operator in coal and a banker.
He had been uniformly successful.
He came to the Senate with the
kind of practical knowledge
which schooled him to care and
usefulness as a legislator. He
steadily grew in the esteem and
confidence of both sides OF the
Senate. and when his party OBJ
tanned the majority he was IN
trusted with the responsible duty
of the chaimanship Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations. No
more painstaking and trust
worthy man ever held the place.
While firmly adhering to his par
ty he was at all times courteous,
and in the business of the Senate
or in local intercourse never OBJ
truded partisan views.-From Jas.
G.. Blaine's "Twenty Years IN
Congress.

A Miraculous Cure.

My daughter was afflicted with
a fever sore on her leg for over
a year, helpless in bed three or
four months, and the doctors
wished me to take her to hos
pital. A number of pieces of
bone came out of the sore. show
ing the bone was badly affected.
and it was thought that the leg
would have to be opened and the
bone scraped or the leg ampu-
tated. Hearing of the cures of
San-Cura Ointment, we applied it
as directed and to the great sur
prise of all. including the four
physicians who had attended her,
the great sore healed up in less
than six weeks. San-Cura Oint-
ment was worth $500 to me, and
all my neighbors will verify this
statement. j. ID. HOOD.

THINK 1T OVER.

That is a happy farmer, my son.
He rises early in the morning,
washes his face with water drawn
from a pump taxed at its full
value, in a basin taxed at its full
value, and wipes with a towel as
sessed at it's full value. He has
for breakfast ham taxed at its full
value, eggs laid by a hen taxed
at her full value, butter and milk,
products of cow assessed at her
full value, biscuits made chiefly
from -four (Which as wheat was
taxed at it's full value). He puts
the harnesS-taXed at its full
value on the horse-taxed at its
full value, and which has been fed
on corn taxed at it's full value and
bitches to a pillow taxed at its full
value. He plows field taxed at
its full value preparatory to
raising his crop which will be
taxed at it's full value. Mean
while, his wife is washing the
dishes taxed at their full value
and getting a homegrown dinner
of vegetables taxed at their full
value in pots and on stove taxed
at their full value, while the baby
sleeps in a cradle taxed at it's (the
cradle) full value. And Dawson
swears that that farmer and his
family ought to be content. But
if the farmer wants some relief he
will find his vote killed by an able
bodied man between the age OF Il
and 80 who won't even pay his
poll tax. That is Dawson S dream
of paradise. The date set by law
is January l, 1905, and to continue
thereafter until the judgment day.
The burdened taxpayer can get
his cigarettes more easily and
cheaply now than before tax re-
form dawned. The late lamented
Legislature reduced the license
from 25 to S..
Yes, sir, the Legislature got
right after the magnate, monopo-
list and trust baron whO-buys
junk. He has to pay a license
now before he can buy gum shoes
and scrap iron. Great thing is tax
reform, not as promised, but as
performed.

taxes before voting was unanl-
mously voted down under Dawson
tax reform. This would have in
creased the States annual reve-
nue. at least 100000, but it WASH t
the kind of reform Dawson want
ed. 1t came too near being genu-
inc reform. Suppose II cents OF
State tax is removed and your
property is assessed at 2 and 3
times what it has been valued at
before, don't you pay more taxes
than ever? A wayfaring man can
tell you that.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-09-05

One of the bills which was
passed by the late Legislature, is
the new tangled assessment law.
1t makes radical changes in the
assessment law of the State, but
none of them are on the lines of
reform. Some of these changes
are going to render the law very
unpopular. 1t provides for only
one assessor in a county and in adj
dition to his usual duties, requires
him to make the land books, and
for the year 1905 it imposes on
him the additional duty of col
lecting the capitaton tax. After
four years it requires him to col
lect all the taxes. and makes the
Sheriff the county treasurer.
What special benefits are to come
from these changes is hard to see
1t simply changes the office of as
SCISSOR from a little office to a big
one, and the office of Sheriff from
a big one into a little one. And il
the collection of taxes is taken
away from the Sheriff, why should
he be made the county treasurer
He is only made county treasurer
because he collects the taxes
Why is an assessor a better mar
to collect the taxes than the Sher
iff? Where does the reform come
in?
