BIG INSURANCE FEES.

How much is contributed to the
revenues OF the territory by the in
snrance companies is not generally
realized. Secretary Grimes in his re-
port makes the showing that the re-
csipts from insurance companies alone
for the last three months amounted to
Sl2,S24. This would mean $4,000 per
year. If all other quarters should be
equally as good.
Il is fitting and proper that these
companies having among the very
largest lines OF business should con-
tribute their due part to bear the ex-
pense Of the territory The purpose
is not to discourage in any manner the
important business Of these companies
but merely to levy upon them their
just proportion Of the tax Of the terri
tory.
These indirect taxes greatly relieve
the immediate burden on the taxpay-
ers. The most serious hindrance to
the growth of new states Is their heavy
tax rates. These can not be avoided
but they may be greatly lightened by
calling upon all the varied interests Of
the territory to contribute their por-
tion.
There are several other sources that
might be called upon in the same
manner as are the insurance compan-
les. Interests that do great deal Of
buainess IN the territory upon a very

the bill I'm the late congress not been
built on the omnibus plan, we believe
Oklahoma would have secured state
hood. There is no doubt that Oklaho
ma is ready. She has served an ap-
premiership of sixteen years and has
proved her fitness in every way. The
interests Of the two territories have
never been the same and there would
not be between them the unity o. feel
ing that there should be between the
various parts Of a state. To such a
union Oklahoma brilgs a magnificent
dowry IN the shape Of her public
buildings and school lands, while In
dian territory consents with the un-
derstanding that it is to have a free
hand IN helping TO spead It. To the
residents of the Usage reservation,
statehood at this time amounts to lit
tie. without allotment and county
government, its people would be some
what in the same position toward the
state, as a territory is 70 the gov
ernment; a reservation to be attached
or detached to some judicial district
without thtir beine asked. With no
voice in a constitutional convention
and no opportunity to express their
wishes in the election Of state officers,
we fail to see any immediate benefit
that would accrue to the people over
here, But they expect allotments to
be completed and a county govern
ment to come in the near future and
we believe the majority would prefer
