GRADUATED LAND TAX

The News would like to see the
constitutional convention when il
assemblies to make the constitu-
ton for the new State of Okla
homa establish a constitution
that will permit of law being
enacted for a graduated land tax,
making a heavier tax on each
hundred acres that a man or COR
poration owned. This kind of a
tax would eliminate the large
land owners and would give us
small homes for the people.
We nave never believed in
large nd-holders; it is a men,
ace to our republican institutions,
and now as we are soon to form
a new State, let's profit by the
mistakes of other States, and
form one in which as the Presi-
dent says every man shall have
square deal and where any man
who is worthy can at least have
an opportunity to acquire a home.

After Adopting Numerous Amendments
Senate Passes House Measure.
Austin. April 1.-THE senate finally
passed the general land bill, after
adopting numerous amendments. The
bill now goes to conference.
The bill recommended by Land Com
missioner Terrell for the protection OF
the mineral lands of the state finally
passed the senate. II requires claim
ants 10 pa. s. an acre annually upon
their claims until the purchase price
has been paid. Under the present law
they can prospect for FIVE years with
out paying anything. A provision of
the bill ircreasing .he appropriation
for Confederate pensions provides that
tht pension bureau shall be transferred
to the adtutant generals department.
Friends Of the comptroller vigorously
oppose this provision but 1t was adort-
ed by the house.
a bill passed the house to prohibit
any person from going upon any in
closed land for tht purpose ot hunt
Ing or fishing without Il permission
of the owner or lessee of such land.
The present law makes such permIs-
sion necessary only In case the tract
Is less than 1000 acres.

N"ieiul SNuuy OF our cOnultlOnS. l felt
.constrained to urge an increase OF the
ad vaiorein rate OF taxes to meet the

Subsequent events have confirmad
the propriety OF that recommendation

OF what has occurred. be successful

/ emphasis the request. that before you
adjourn this recommendation be OBJ
served and that the bin carrying the

by the requisite majority to make IL
immediately operative. DO not. re-
spectfully urge YOU. allow this matter
to be deferred for consideration at an
extraordinary session. Your commit
tees on appropriations arc entitled to
have this legislation enacted that they
may intelligently act upon their bills
and govern themselves accordingly.
This proposition must originate in tho

Is THIN SHOT dad
Insane Austrian Runs Anuh on
Wood River ITd1--noors b
Well knorn Here.

Bellevue, May 8.-An unknown
man, said to be sheepherder, ran
amuck on the Wood river branch
train today and after slashing the
throat of one of the passengers with
by Constable William Shafer, who
was on the train. The train was run
back to Bellevue and the dead man
and his victim we're taken off. The
injured man is named Moore. He is
from Salt Lake and represents Col
lier's Weekly. His recovery is doubt
full. So far the dead man has not
been identified.
A later dispatch from HALEY of the
8th says: ''The insane man who was
shot on the train today near Picabo
by Constable Shafer of Soldier, WAS
an Austrian. No one here knows his
name. He came up from Shoshone
this morning and left the train at
Tlkura. He was seen wandering about
aimlessly and 1t was thought from his
strange actions that he was suffering
from delerium tremens. Investiga-
tion led to the belief he was mentally
unbalanced and he was put on the
train when it came back, the idea be-
ing to have him taken in charge at
Shoshone. Moore, who was 81 sl4shed
in the neck, will probably die. Con-
} stable Shafer gave himself up to the
sheriff. -
Moore, the unfortunate victim of
the insane man, is we'll known. in
Weiser and has many warm friends
who will regret to learn of the Srag-
edy.
