ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL.
Blaine County People Are Studying
the Proposition.

/ Guthrie. O T. March u.-Men who
come here from Blaine county report that
! the people of that county are agitatins
! the matter OF a county high school and
! they say the proposition will surely carry.
Since the announcement of the supreme
court decision last week confirming the
! county high school law there is renewed
! interest in these schools. The city of
! Geary in Blaine county. has appointed
a committee of leading citizens to bring
this matter before the people and the
committee has submitted the following in
regard to the cost of plaint tanning the
school, 1t will be of interest to The people
in some of the other counties who are
thinking of establishing county high
schools:
Applying the law governing county high
schools, the question of cost and taxes
can be answered with almost mathemat-
ical certainty.
The assessed valuation of the county
for last>year is. in round numbers. 5000
0O0 Assuming that it Will be at least that
much for this year. we have basis for
figuring.
The total cost for providing everything
necessary TO prepare the school for op-
GRAFTON shall not exceed IL per cent or
the assessed valuation. But in this coun-
ty it will not he necessary to go to the
limit. One per cent will equal 81, 600,
which will furnish an ample fund for
buildings and all necessary furnishings.
Nothing OF this will be paid for five
years, excepting the interest. which
amounts to $3.50 per annum. A levy of
S.ixy 1Fo ,,,iIl h. al
alton will pay this interest.
Each taxpayer would pay 6 cents on a
hundred valuation.
After the expiration of five years there
would remain fifteen years in which 10
pay the principal. which, being divided
into fifteen installmenls. gives SI,46666 to
be paid each year. This would require 4
levy OF 66-10O OF a mill on the dollar val
uation. a tax of 23 cents on the 500
valuation.
So that to pay the original cost the tax
alton will never exceed the l 26-100 mills
on the dollar. or u 6-10 cents on The 500,
and after the payment of the first INSTALL
ment the interest will be less by one-fif
teenth each year, and the rate of levy
will be reduced accordingly.
Besides. as the total assessed valua ton
of The county increases. the rate will pro-
portionately decrease. so that when the
former shall have doubled, which it will
in twenty years, the rate of levy will he
one-half what has been estimated, that 1
is to say, a total levy of 63-10O OF mill /
on the dollar. or $40 cents on The 800
The only additional tax that can be lev I
led is that to pay the contingent expenses /
of operating the school, and cannot ex-
coed a mill levy. But 4 levy OF mills /
on the present valuation will raise a tax
of $500. which will provide a sufficienl /
fund for the operating expenses. The in (
crease in valuation will have the same /
effect to reduce the rate of levy for this /
purpose.

STATEHOOD
LEGISLATION
Chairman Hamilton Has Call
ed Meeting for Today.
NEW PROGRAM OUTLINED
May Frame an Omnibus Bill
for Territories.
NEW PROGRAM OUTLINED

Guthrie. o. T. March IA Washing
aon dispatch says:
Chairman Hamilton. of the house com
inittee on territories, has called an exec
ative meeting of his committee for Sat
lrday to take up statehood legislation.
While no definite policy has been agreed
upon. it is considered probable that the
subcommittee to be appointed at the
Hession viii take a radical departure from
what has generally been understood 70
he the program, by framing an omnibus
bill providing for admitting Oklahoma
With the Indian territory. and New Mex
ico with Arizona 1t is said that this plan
is growing in favor with the majority of
The committee and is striking into en-
uirely new paths 1t can also be stated IN
good authority that the Democratic rep
iNsentation of he subcommittee to drs,Et
phe bill will consist Of Moon, of Teanes>
ipcc; Lloyd, of Missouri, and Robinson. OF
Indiana.
Another interesting rumor, current tG-
night is that Delegate Mcclure and
pairing the draft of Il bill which expresses
their IDEAS Of what sort of statehood leg
islation should be passed. 1t is not m
probable that this bill viii be submitted
and advocated before the committee when
Mr.. Asp addresses that body tomorrow,
the committee having consented to hear
him as a special favor.
Mr.. Robinson, Democrat. Of Indiana.
and a member of the committee, is au
thcrity for the statement that a two
state bin viii be reported within the
next two weeks. He says that Oklahoma
and Indian territory, according to this
measure, VIII become a state at the eX-
piration Of the tribal governments in the
latter territory, and regarding Arizona
and New Mexico, said the new program
of the Republicans VIII be one state for
them also.
Air. Robinson is prominently identified
with territorial legislation and enjoys the
confidence of both parties. He has been
advocating three states and has always
favored single statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian territories. He is unalterabIy
opposed to single statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico The Democratic
party he said will fight such a propo-
sition to the bitter end and if such
measure ever passes the house it will be
due to some drastic rule brought in by
the majority to railroad their statehood 4
program through that body. We expect I.
an omnibus bin and no action will he |
taken by the senate on any statehood /
bill = At may come to that body"

The prevalent belief has bee nthat much
of the valuable coal vas omitted by the
