BORN IN KANSAS.
Fire Chief of Muskogee Is Among the
DELEGATES.

Guthrie, o. T., May 11.-Frank T. Swift,
chief of the fire department at Muskogee,
is one of the prominent figures in the
fremen's convention in session in this city
today. He is a citizen of the Cherokee
nation, but he was born in Kansas.
His mother was a three-quarter blood
Cherokee, who went to Kansas during
the war, where his father married her.
Mr.. Swift says mis- father is an old news
paper man and is now working on the
Girard Free Press. He says his father
was at Lawrence at the time of the
famous Quantrell raid and, like Marsh
Murdoch. he lodged the cut-throats.
Chief Swift says the Cherokee people
are resigned to their fate and concede
that they will form part of the state
of Oklahoma. but they would much rather
have been left to manage their own na-
ton as in the past. He says many of
the Cherokees will leave and go to Mex
leo and many more will remain in the
country,

FILES A COMPARISON.
Are the Railroads Paying More Than
Their Share?

Guthrie. o. T., May 1.-THE brief filed
with the territorial railroad assessors by
Henry c. Asp. attorney for the Santa Fe,
has created somewhat of a sensation
about the government building. He
claims that the railroads of the terri
tory are already paying more than their
share of the taxes.
Mr. Asp shows that the railroads are
already paying taxes on twenty-five to
thirtysix per cent of the cost of the
roads, while the farms in the counties
through which the Santa Fe runs in Ok
lahon1a are returned for taxation at less
than twenty per cent of their cash val
ue.
TO sustain this point Mr.. Asp has filed
with the board of assessors dispositions
from prominent real estate men in the
counties through which the Santa Fe
runs. as to the average cash value of the
lands in their counties, which goes to
prove his point
Mr.. Asp also shows that the deposits
Of money in the banks of the territory,
the bank stocks and the surplus in the
banks are all assessed at a very low
per cent. This statement is not. however,
regard to the assessment of farms, for
the reason that if the men who have
money cut down their assessment by con-
cealment that is no reason for cutting
down the assessment on railroad property
any more than on other property
Ex-Governor Barnes said today that the
railroads and the banks of Oklahoma had
always paid more than their just proper
ton of the taxes of the territory In
answer TO some of these arguments the
fellows who are in favor of raising the
railroad assessment point out that Mr..
Asp only counts the cost of construction,
when some of the roads, and notably the
Santa Fe is worth now a good deal more
money than when it was built. They al
so point out that the Rock Island in
Beaver county is assessed for taxation at
S3.010 per mile while in Seward county.
Kansas, on the north. it Is assessed at
S. 800 per mile, and just south of Beaver.
in Sherman county. Texas, II is assessed
at $500 per mile.
Action of the board has been delapey
until comparison OF the assessment in
all the counties can be made. and when
this is done If the investigation shows
that the railroads are now paying their
just proportion of the taxes there will be
no change made in the assessment of the
roads

SEARCH is INSTITUTED.
Old Soldier Has Been Missing from
Blackwell Eiqht Weeks.

Blackwell, o. T., May 11.-William Ram
isch, an old soldier, has been absent from
his home for the past eight weeks and his
relatives and friends are unable to ac-
count 70 rit. a search is being instituted
but those who are assisting in it have no
idea where to look The old man came
here from Nebraska several years ago
and purchased a home, where he and his
wife have since lived. When he left he
took his pension papers with him, and
told his wife he was going to look for
location and that, as soon as he drew his
pension, he would send her some money.
This he has not done, and it is thought
he has not yet drawn his money. For
some time Mr.. Ramisch has been troubled
with rheumatism and it is feared that
he has become suddenly worse and in
place from where is has been impossible
to notify his wife, or that he has be-
come mentally unbalanced.

Guthrie. o. T.. May 11.-Vernon Whiting
of Enid. secretary of the territorial Re
publican central committee, has been in
this city for the past two days talking
with friends and learning of the situation
in the different parts of the territory.
1t is pretty generally conceded that Mr..
Whiting made a good secretary and some
of the fellows who are advocating Far
mer Grimes for chairman this year would
ike to see Mr.. Whiting retained in the
secretary's office.
Mr. Whiting said today that after look
ing over the field since the denomination
of Bird Mcclure he was satisfied that
he was fully twenty-five hundred votes
stronger than two years ago. He admit
ted that it would make some difference
who the Democrats nominated. but in any
event he considered the election of Nc

Trust and Prices.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
The campaign bookmakers
labored long and hard and
demonstrated to a finish-if
you accept their figures as
gospel truth-that there are
no real trusts, trust have
not put prices up, and that
in TACT prices have not gone
up, They show, for example,
what a weak, puny, little
harmless affair our billion
dollar steel trust is-pro-
ducinS bnt little more than
one-half our steel output.
They say that ''it is obvious
that a company producing
only one half Of any given
article entering a given mar>
ket could not maintain ex-
ctssiyely high prices" The
Misrepresentation in these
tatements lies in the fact
that as to many Ot the An
ished products of steel the
trust has an almost a bsolute
~ monopoly and can and
d does charge exhoIbltant
prices, an is demonstrated by
it's export prices of those
ga me goods. In tin plates,
barbed wire, wire. nails, and
many other articles, t h 2
trust has a virtual monopoly
of our market and charges
ns from 30 to 100 per cent.
more than it charges foreign
ers for these goods.
IN nearly all other OF it's
products. such as steel rails,
billet pla tes, structured work
etc, in which it produces on
ly hall Lf the countrv's out
put, it has ''gentleman'ss a
greements" with other manu-
ufacturers which enable it,
to get the full benefit OF the
high tariff duties on these
good-. In this way it gets
$2S a ton for steel rails sold
10 this country, while selling
them abroad for $18 a n d
500. 1t gets $32 for plates
here which it. sells IN England
at $1S.
1t is q pity that these little
corrections could not have
been obtained in time for in.
serting in their campaign
book; for, surely, the R'pnb-
Iicans would not knowingly
and wilfully misIead the dear
people.
