STOPPING HIS PAPER.

Here is an old, often repeated
story of Horace Greeley and the
man who stopped his paper, that is
going the rounds once more and
that is too good not to reprint for
our ders, who oyeryalue
their importance and overestimate
the right to dictate to the editor:
An acquaintance met Horace
Greeley one day, and said: "'Mr.
Greeley, I've stopped your paper. "
"Have you ?" said the editor.
"Well, that's too bad" And he
went his way.
The next morning Mr.. Greeley
met his subscriber again, and said
'1 thought you had stopped the
Tribune
$50 | did"
"Then there must be some mis-.
take, SAID Mr.. Greeley, HOr j just
came from the office and the presses
we're running, the clerks we're as
busy as ever the compositors were
hard a work, and the business was
going on the same as yesterday and
the day before"
,'Oh " calculated the subscriber.
] didn't mean that I had stopped
the paper I stopped my copy Of it,
because didn'tlike your editorials D."
"Pshaw Z" retorted Mr. Greeley
cit wasn't worth taking up my time
to tell me such trine as that Ny
dear sir il you expect to control
the utterance Of the Tribune by the
purchase Of one copy a day or II
you think to find any newspaper
or magazine worth reading that will
never express convictions at right
angles with your own you are doom.

any part of Indian Territory. Much
OF the surplus farming land, instead
of being reserved for the bona hde
settler, is being quietly got hold of
in one way or another by the land
grabbers and boomers who infest
that country. Visitors are too often
looked upon as simply so many
geese to be plucked.
Is not the discontented man to be
found here1 Most surely he is, the
same as everywhere else on this
broad earth. The newness OF the
Cherokee Nation has made the writ
er call TO mind the early days of
Nebraska, and not the least of the
resemblances lies in the proneness
of the early conner to grumble and
find fault. The settlement of any
new country is no holiday task, but
patience, good judgment and hard
work will win in the long run.
Present values in the Cherokee
Nation appear to average about SI2
per acre for agricultural land. The
rental value of the same is 81 to So
for titled land, and so cents and
upward for grass ground. Leases
may run five years. Corn is the
leading crop, the painting season
beginning with April. Large guam
titles of prairie hay are bailed near
the railroad towns, the yield being
rather more than ton to the acre.
Farther away, plsturage may be had
at IS cents per head for the season.
Fruit growing has been almost ut
terly neglected, but enough has been
done IN that line TO show great pos
sibilities.
The Indians2 Yes, they are here
and will remain. Only a small mi
hoilAl arc NllblOON OuGIOkCGS anu
all of them dress like white people.
Many can scarcely be distinguished
from persons without any known
trace of Indian ancestry. Some of
the Cherokees may be worthless and
even "ornery," but so are not few
white persons. The white people
here affirm that as a class, the Cher
okees are good neighbors, honest
and accommodating. Marriages
between white men and Cherokee
women and between Cherokee
men and white women are very
common. and while the Indian
blood will ultimately become lost,
this Indian country will retain the
unique distinction OF being the most
Indian part of Uncle Sans domain.

In this way there will be but one
valuation and tax to pay, namely,
on the value of the coal. The chat.
tel real has become extinct because
OF the change in the wording of the
Instrument. When the instrument
is changed to "sell, grant and con.
vey" 1t is no longer chattel real
within the tax laws and therefore
not assessable as such.
As to assessment of oil and gas
leases: We arc informed that il is a
we'll settled proposition of law, both
10y eminent text writer's and numer-
GUS decisions of State and United
States Supreme Court of Appeals
that personal property (chattels
real, } for the purpose of taxation,
follows the person of the owner,
and assessable at the domicile or
place of residence of the owner. or
at the place where the property il.
self actually is at the date Of the as.
sessment. That in case Of owner
ship by a corporation that this char
acter of property is assessable at
the place of location of its princi-
pal office, that is, in the State where
in the principal office is established.
II this be correct then we must all
admit that nine-tenths of the oil
and gas leases on lands within this
State are not owned by parties or
corporations residing or domiciled
within this State, but actually loca-
ted in such places as Pittsburg, Oil
City, Pa, and that the property it.
self, that is, the lease itself, is loca-
ted beyond the limits of the State
and therefore not within the juris-
diction or the taxing authorities.
The same rule applies TO ownership
of leases or royalty contracts on
coal lands.
Taking this view of the question
can ii be said that the act of oos
was expressly intended to place an
additional burden OF taxation on
the resident owencrs Of coal, oil
and gas leases and permit non-resi-
dent owners to escape If our con-
tention proves TO be correct then is
it not painfully apparent to the
humblest taxpayer, or person Of
ordinary understanding that but
little, if any, increase in taxable
values will come from the assess
ment Of chattels real, and that what
ever increase may come from valu.
ations placed on this character of
property will likely be assessed
against the resident owners, which
at the best will not catch more than
one.tenth Of the value Of such pro-
perty ?
The statment now being made by
Tax Commissioner Dillon, and the
press of this State, that this new
decisions means that $500, 900, 600
will be added to thetaxable values of
property in tins State is extrayagant,
If not ridiculous.
