TEE Florida legislature will adjourn
at noon TODAY, aud the history Of what
his been accomplished for the GOOD Of
the people Woud not take long in the
writing, Hundreds Of bills have been
introduced bat tcW have ever come
from the committees. Some bills Of
general State Importance have escaped
the avalanche that swept everything
just before the close of the session.
On our first page We publish the new
drainage law, which has been enacted
TO superccde the law passed at the last
session Of the legislature, which was
declared Unconstitutional. The new
law includes only such lands as was re-
ceived by the state Of Florida by pat
ent from the United States government
TO he subject to the acreage tax. This
will, in large measure, remove the
violent opposition to the late law, but
the present law does not provide a
gradution Of the tax on lands remote
from any drainage operations, and this
will probably cause opposition from the
same sources as the previous law.

rigs" on the field: rig being oil talk
for above ground evidence of a well. the
principal feature Of which is the derrick.
Scattered about are $50 great steel tanks
and no end of wooden tanks These great
steel tanks hold an average OF 3500O bar
rels each. Each tank costs 81, 900 to
build. so that there are now almost
s. 900 invested IN steel tanks here
These tanks are being finished et the
rate of one each day, and the new ones
are being filed as rapidly as they are
erected. Most OF these tanks are owned
by the Standard Oil Company or some
producer who will ultimately sell to the
Standard. The others are owned by the
two independent pipe line companies and
by individual producers. This storage Of
oil on a large scale is also being prac-
ticed in other Oklahoma oil fields.
The adult Indians who own oil lands
are credited with their 10 per cent royalty
when the oil is turned over TO the pipe
line companies. The money is paid OYER
10 the Indian agent at Muscogee, and he.
at certain intervals pays it TO the Indian.
The minors share is held by the govern
nent In trust for the little Indians When
they reach the age OF twenty-one years
they will have this money. the leases on
their land will expire and they may en-

speculation. II is a fact. however. that
the wells in the east end which once We're
so bOuntiful are no longer flowing. and
pumps must be used TO get the oil In
the central and western portion the wells
still flow. but oil experts believe that the
pumps will be at work on every well
within the next three months. Oil will
be pumped here Tor twenty years, per-
haps. but the pool mas passed the zenith
Of its glory. Il is now producing about
hundred Thousand barrels day.
IL has been known from the first that
there was just 50 much oil IN this pool.
1t followed that the man who got the
most wells down in the shortest time
had the best chance at the oil Nobody
overlooked that fact In consequence
there we're Zine fights" OF terrible intcn-
sity. Men broke with friends. and the
spirit OF the field was EVERY man for
himself and the devil take the hindmost."
Wells are drilled on the 2O0-foot limit,
directly opposite each other. The man
who is first TO drill in every location
around the boundary of his farm is the
victor in line fight Such methods get
oil quickly, but they also mean that the
field Will soon be exhausted But Okla
hOma has many other oil fields, which,
although not as wonderful as Glenn Pool.
are profitable and prosperous.
Keifer is a typical oil town. Long rows
of wooden houses. occupied by supply
stores. restaurants, five-cent theaters, and
dance halls. are the features Of the place.
It's railroad station was in an old box
car until quite recently although the
yards have never less than 500 cars in
them In that box car station the Frisco
railroad took in 81. 600 a month in passen-
ger business and cared for $l60009 a
month In freight traffic. Keifer Is small
and ugly. but it is not dull. The streets
are sprinkled with oil and the street
lights are never extinguished. because

In his first race Mr.. Bryan was
defeated by money. His def,at
wits bought From the develop
ments OF the past year it looks
very much like President Roose
welt won in 1904 by money not
men. Was HIS election bought
Did he win by contributions from
the big life insurance companies,
railroads, banks, etc! This is n
question being asked today by
thinking men all over the United
States.
When Hartman accused t b e
President of asking him for con
trihution OF $3.50 900 the Presi
dent called him liar.
But 10 this day and time, to
simply call a man n liar without
citing the proofto cinch the lie
only makes the public think less
OF the man hansIingthat term.
Where there is so much smoke
can the people he blamed for look
ing for a spark! Mr.. Roosevelt os
tensibly has a strong nausea Tor
campaign contributions. In fact
TO him'is due, to an extent, the
cleanliness OF the last Campaign.
But there are those doubling
Thomases who wonder if this is
a monstrous bluff.
The entire matter might be set
at ease if the Republican cam
paign contribution books of19O4
were opened to the public. If Mr..
Rooseveltwas notelected by Wall
street money and contributions
from the big corporations from
the big corporations then agreat
injustice is being done him in the
intimations and accusations
made from time to time. Fur
thermore, it must be extraemely
embarrassing for him to be forced
to keep his eyes on the country
and ever remain surcharged with
epithets, ready to call the man
who makes q new accusation a
liar. All of this'might be remedied
if the books we're thrown open to
the public. c.-Charlotte News,
