THE NEW TAX LAWS.

Some gentlemen from the inter-
ior of the county were in the city
yesterday TO hear Senator Davis
speak. They said they wanted to
find a copy of the new tax laws !;
that they had read the new laws
in the Oil Review, and did not
like them, but the Republican
spkears had said The Review had
not published the laws correctly,
and they wanted to see who was
right.
We will make the gentlemen a
present of $1,000 in good hard cash
if they acn find a single word in
the new tax laws different from
what we have printed. If the laws
have been printed wrong why
don't the Republican orators read
the new laws correctly and show
where we quote them wrong. 1t
we publish the laws wrong why
don't the Republican newspapers
in this county publish them cor
rectly? Why, instead of devoting
column after column to abusive
language about The Review, don't
the Republican papers publish the
law as it is if we have not done
so? Such talk is sheer nonsense.
We have published the law as 1T
is. The land is to be assessed JAN
uary l, 1905, at its true and act
ual value, which will be about
three times higher than it is now.
The oil owned by the farmer will
be taxed, but not the oil owned
by the producers except where
the producer owns the land under
which the oil is produced.
Under the new law all stock
and grain is taxed, and there IS
no exemption as before for stock
under a year old.
Merchants will be assessed on
their stock of goods, not at what
they would sell at auction, but
what they will bring over the
counter at retail. The merchants
notes and book accounts will be
assessed. If the merchant owes
money he must tell the assessor
to whom he owes the money, how
much, when due, and all about 1t.
Such a statement will spread
broadcast over the county how
every merchant stands financially.
The commercial agents will grab
the news and rate accordingly.
This will bankrupt merchants.
It's a law that will ruin our peo-
pie and should be repealed.
A vote for Dawson and Hill
means you endorse this new law.
Vote for Cornwell and Thorn,
who will repeal the law, or be
forever branded as traitors!

appetite and sound digestion. It Is OF
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and

of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness It is generally because OF the

Oldham Had Narrow Escape.

The town Of Oldham had a narrow
escape from a fire that promised at
o1e tune to wipe out 4 good part OF
the town Monday evening Of last
week. A dauee was TO be given at
the opera house and the party ia
charge attempted to start the air
pressure gasoline light plant when
an explosion occurred. The force Of
the explosion threw the gasoline
tank agains$ Fred Worlhueter with
such force that he was rendered un,
conscious. Mr.. Lee who was present
extinguished the only light in the
room aud carried the injured man to
a place of safety.
The second explosion occurred
about three minutes after the first,
which was followed by the ire aad
the interior Of the opera house was
covered with flames almost instantly.
A stream from the chemical engine
was oon brought to play on the fire
and the flames extinguished.
The attempted removal of a 5-gal-
Ion can Of Gil brought on another
FIRE. The can was hot and the party
dropped it to the floor when it burst
ed and another fire was started.
What caused the second explosion
is a mystery for it is claimed that
there was no light ia the hall OIL in
the store room below.
In an account of the fire the Regis
ter said: "Will Hendricksen's shirt
was burned from his body, He is
badly burned on the face, body and
down to his knees and in places his
hands were burned nearly to the
bone. His condition is serious but
we are glad to state he is improving.
Harry Mar vas painfully burned on
the face and hands. AL. Clemens
clothing caught fire and he was
slightly burned. Ed. Bowel had
some teeth broken and his lip cut by
a piece Of board. Ed. Fentzel, |. j..
Flanders and others had their hands
cut by glass"
Fortunately the chemical engine
had been reflled that day. That
alone made it possible to save the
business part Of the town.

Brazil And Peru.

The dispute over which Brazil and
Peru are now threatening to go to
war is one of long standing. 1t re-
lates tosboundaries in the so-called
Acre region, west of the Andes noun
tains, among the headwaters Of the
great Amazon river. In this wild
territory the boundaries between
Brazil, Peru and Bolivia have never
been accurately outlined, but each
nation has made vague claims.
Brazil, by reason OF its possessions
Of the mouth and body Of the ANA
zon, has put forward a general claim
to all the territory tributary thereto.
Peru and Bolivia have claimed por-
tions Of the tract because it blended
with their possessions without any
we'll defined line of d~emarcation.
Brazil has made an amicable settle
ment with Bolivia, aud it has been
expected that a similar result would
be achieved, after long drawn out
negotiations with Peru.
The Acre tract is valuable because
it is rich in rubber trees, now grow
ing scarce in other more accessible
parts of the world. The present
furry W. the boundary is supposed
to be raised with a view Of settling
the question of ownership before the
disputed territory takes on addition
al value. The question is one which
should be settled readily by arbi-
tration, ana the presumption is that
after Brazil and Peru get through
the customary round of war talk
they will settle down to some such
sensible method OF settling the diff
Guilty. 1t is not conceivable that the
two nations would send armies into

cord breaker in some particulars.
The session just closed was the short
est first session in years. 1t lasted
only ia days, the next session in
order Of duration having been fifteen
days longer. During the session TO-,
10 bills were introduced, the great
est number since the ffty-frst cor
gress. The number Of reports made,
2,945, was also the largest made in
the period covered. There does net,
however, appear to be any constant
relation between the number of bills
introduced or of reports made and
the amount of public legislation en-
acted. 1t seems, for example, that
the FiftY-third congress, whose com
mittees made the smallest number
of reports for the period, and which
was not among the leaders as regards
the number Of bills introduced, is
credited with the largest number of
public laws enacted, the session just
closed holding third place in this re-
spect. The session., however, heads
the list as regards the number of
private laws enacted; the Ffty-third
congress, which enacted the greatest
number of public laws passed the
smallest number of private ones, The
amount Of discussion had in the last
mentioned session was not evidently
very large, for it does not figure
among the leaders in that particular,
and the session just closed ranks
third.
