henna do you bring it here for?"
Statehood is turned down.
Mr.. Haskell spoke also upon
the 33 changes made in revising
the constitution, 20 of which
were on a par with changing
spelling or grammar. He spoke
of the present gerrymander,
whereby Noble county (Repub-
lican) with population of H.
900 has the same representation
as Pottawotamie county (Demo-
cratic) with $4,000. He also
mentioned that Ferguson, while
governor, vetoed a change in
the Territorial oil test similar to
the provision made in the con-
sti ution that puts a monopoly in
the hands of the Standard Oil.
In closing, he said that he
wanted the votes of all honest
men-men who wanted equal
rights and privileges under the
government, and expected no
favors. He did not want the
vote of the political or business

pleaded with them not to do it,
sa ing that he could not pay in
terest on the investment with
such reduction. He was then
questioned as to the worth Of the
road per mile, and swore the
value to be $50, 900, backing his
oath with the affidavits Of seven
other officials. The valuation
seems then to be 80 per cent for
live stock, 10 per cent for real
estate, and 7 per cent for railway

A feature of the constitution
that is giving some concern to
my friend Busby--I call him my
friend because he never forgets
me-is the provision whereby q
tax may be levied on franchises
and productions. For instance,
a coal mine or an oil we'll may be
taxed on the amount of coal or
oil produced.
The state starts out with q
school fund OF 100000, and
the school lands will speedily be
