SENSIBLE SCHOOL LAND SCHEME.

The school land question in Oklahoma persists il
bobbng up all kinds of inopportune times and refuses
TO down. The possession of millions of dollars worth Of
school lands in the territory and the future state has
forced upon the people issue which they will be forced
to meet The school lands should never be a political
issue, but they will, just the same.
The first thing Of interest is to the splendid
school fund for the benefit of the children of the future
state. If the state bad say school fund OF S2o
OOOO00 the very first suggestion would be to invest II IN
Oklahoma farm lands That would be the safest invest
ment that could be made.
Oklahoma school fund is already invested in land.
It is claimed that than 1000 persons have rented
these lands There is objection to having so many per-
manent tenants. The Americans like to the farmer
own the land he works. and they like the city resi-
dent own his home.
The school lands in places held in large bodies
and are taxable The people who own farms in the
same section desire some arrangement that will permit
The school lands to bear their burden of the Thus
are the people confronted with issue which sooner
or later must be settled, tt
Then the conditions are about like this: The people
feel that their school funds safe while the remain
in lands they do like the idea of having perman
ent tenant class The only solution to be to sell
the lands and then refuse allow the purchasers to make
full payment The lands might be sold fifty years
time and rate of interest that the purchasers could af
ford to pay This would retain the land security feature
and woud the time make the land subject to tax
alton.
If these lands are disposed Of the people will have
to be first convinced that the money they bring will be
safe. The long time payment would eliminate all fears
that the money would be losct.
The question up in the republican county con-
vention of Oklahoma county the other day and caused
heated discussion. The delegates finally threw out the
whole mater the suggestion that the convention for
the purpose of eectng delegates to congressional
venon did not have anything to do with the school
lands, for the simple that congress could have
nothing to do with the school lands.-Wicha Eagle

AMALGAMATIoN IS NECESSARY.

The executive committe of the Indian Territory took
the right step at the South McAester meeting this week
when the association voted to amagamate with the
mee of Oklahoma and form one central and powerful
organization. OF course Chairman Grant Victor is to
have the pie, the deal having been made to have him
continued chairman of both committees, but the party
cannot afford stop at such insignificant matters
when the general good of the party is at stake The for
nation of strong central body with executive power
both territories is imperative
During the past few months the democratic central
committee in its Mansion of Mammon at Oklahoma CITY,
has been busy organizing the entire state of Okla
homa. The faithful have ourneyed to consult the
"powers" and get orders. watchful eye has been
kept both territories and organization perfected in
many parts of the field of political battle. Lem-
ture has been sent out broadcast with misleading
ments The liquor and Standard interests have lavished
money in their efforts to organize the for the sake
of the "nterests" Meanwhile the two central commit
tees of the republicans have been working independently
and with sad lack of system Work has been DONE but
1t lacked results. The party demands at this time one
committee for the entire state One powerful organiza-
ton under head united action sngeness of purpose
and the expression of the will of the voters of the re-
publican party inteigenty and effectively through the
