An alarm was termed In from Box

by 3. r. Hampton and occupied by

The flames originated on the roof
and we're discovered in tine to pre-
vent any great damage.
This FIRE Is supposed to have been
OF incendiary origin, as Il is said
that coal oil was strongly smelled
about the b1rped place. II is stated
that the new cottage, now in course
of erection for j. e. Wells, about a
block distant from Sir. Goore's home,
was also set, but owing to the damp
condition Of the lumber, the flames
only lasted Until the oil which saturat.

termined to keep a lookout in future,

Governor was read;
EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
Guthrie, okla, May 25. 1908.
To the Legislature:
Having House, Bill No. 1863. an act
providing Tor the levy and collection
Of gross revenue tax, under con
sideration. as / understand this bill. ii
provides for the collection Of state
tax based upon the gross earnings
within the state or the actual value
of the production Of the following
companies or classes Of business. to-
wit:
Railroads, one-half Of one per cent,
gross earnings.
Sleeping car companies, stock car
companies, refrigerator car companies,
ard all other private car associations
and express companies, three per cent
of the gross earnings.
Pipe line companies. two per cent Of
the carrying charges.
Telephone companies. one-half Of
one per cent, gross earnings.
Telegraph companies. two per cent.
gross earnings.
Electric light, gas, heat and power
companies, one-half of one per cent
gross earnings.
waterworks companies. one-fourth
of one per cent. gross earnings.
Coal, two per cent of the total value
of coal produced during the year.
Lead, zinc, gold, silver, copper, as
phalt, one-half of one per cent of the
value Of the production during the
year.
Oil or natural gas one-half Of one
per cent of the value Of the production
during the year.
The theory upon which this tax Is
levied, is, that from the nature Of the
property or the method of handling
these productions. It is not possible BY
the ordinary method OF leyying taxes
on an ad valorem basis to secure tax
payment equal and fair and just to
other tax payers, and under present
conditions / believe this is true and
that this tax Is just in every case, I'M
less it would be with reference to the
oil and gas properties
AS to oil and gas properties. we find
contrary to the general suppositior
of few months ago, that the oil and
gas companies have returned sur
prisingly large ad valorem valuation on
their property. In fact, the statements

CLEAR, CRISP AND eLEAN
GERMAN PROSPERITY

TUST what effect the competition of
American producers has had upon
~ business conditions in Germany
can hardly be calculated, but the fact
remains that for some reason the re-
marlkable prosperity which has accrued
to the German industrial world during
the past few years seems to have
reached it's limit. General conditions
undoubtedly find a reflection in the
state of affairs in that country today.
Upon the authority of one of the
American consuls in Germany it is
stated that the commercial and indus
trial world in that country is watching
closely and anxiously every indication
as to the probable continuance or ebb
in the remarkable prosperity which has
been enjoyed by Germans during the
past two years. 1t is believed that
manufacturing in that country has
reached the maximum. Whether the
output will remain stationary or the
demands of consumption will so lessen
that there will be a serious and wide
spread shrinkage in the opportunities
for labor of all classes is the question
of the hour.
Consul Norton, writing from Chem
nitz, says:
I'm many quarters 1T is stated that
sufficient orders are booked to insure
full occupation for plants and opera
tives for some weeks or months yet,
but that there is no such accumulation
of orders registered far ahead as to
insure a pro1ongation of the present
unusually prosperous conditions The
imperial statistical office shows that for
the third quarter of 1907 only IA per
cent of the total number of German
workmen were unemployed, but the
number of unemployed in October has
considerably increased. For every 100
vacancies the applicants in September
numbered 101.1, while in october the
applicants numbered 1891.
1.-THE condition of the iron and steel
and allied industries attracts the most
attention, being regarded as the barom-
eter for economic changes in the en-
pire. For long time these industries
have experienced great difficulties in
handling their vast orders for home
and foreign delivery. 1t was manifestly
impossible for this rapid growth to con-
tinue indefinitely and although for the
present every factory is working full
time the amounts of new orders booked
show plainly that in few months there
will be a distinct reaction. A marked
falling off in certain branches in Sep
tember has increased the anxiety and
distrust"
The pessimistic view is that present
industrial conditions indicate the be-
ginning Of hard times in Germany. But
as similar fluctuations have been noted
at various times in the past. resulting
in prophecies of the same character, the
future may hold in store better things
than the average student of German
affairs is now willing to admit. 1t is
to be hoped that this is so, for there is
no doubt that protracted era of hard
times in Germany will not have the
most favorable effect upon American
commerce and industry.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-15

A fact which should be firmly inn
pressed upon the minds of those citi-
zens of Los Angeles who are to frame a
new charter for this city is that In
every instance where an American city
has abolished ward representation in Its
legislative body public opinion declares
that the municipality has been bene-
fitted. No influence could be brought to
bear upon a Texas city which has
adopted the commission plan of govern
ment that would induce 1t to return to
the old ward system of representation,
with the dirty politics and graft which
that system renders easy. Los Angeles
under some modification of the system
in vogue in Texas or in Des Moines
might come to be regarded as one OF
the moGel municipalities of America
in time.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-15
KEEP AT 1T

HROM every city of Importance in
the country comes a cry for the
Il abolition of the unlovely billboard.
Los Angeles may think it is standing
almost alone in its vigorous fight
against this offense to the aesthetic
sense, but it is not. New York, Boston,
Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati and many other American cities
are worried to death over the vexing
problem. The Chicago Record-Herald
recently discussed the San Jose case,
the decision which has been widely
quoted in the press of this country. 1t
regards the action of the court as a
distinct victory for the billboard
cause:
1--WE have had occasion heretofore to
comment on advanced opinions of
equity courts with reference to the con-
ficting rights of property owners and
billboarders on the one hand and the
general public on the other. Another
such opinion, couched in positive and
strong language, comes from Califor-
MIA court, and should be added to the
growing record.
"San Jose, it appears, was the scene
of a protracted fight against rampant
and vulgar billboards. The question
became political issue, and council
was elected under a pledge to abate
the nuisance. 1t proceeded to pass a
rather drastic ordinance, which, among
other provisions, empowered the police
to tear down and destroy particularly
fragrant and Objectionable specimens
of the art. OF course the moment the
city attempted to enforce the ordinance
an injunction was applied for.
But the superior court refused to
issue the restraining order and laid
down these legal principles on the sub
ject: That which is offensive to the
eyes or to public morals is subject for
police regulation, the same as noisome
odors or other nuisances. A man has
no more right to flaunt a vulgar dis
play on a billboard in the face of the
public than he would have to offend the
sense of smell by burning sulphur on
the corners of the streets of the city.
mo doubt such terms as 'vulgarity,
offensive indecent are hard to de-
fine, and even judges will inevitably
differ in applying the above doctrines.
But the PRONUNCIATION and acceptance OF
them is a great step forward"
It may be some time before the un-
slightly, inartistic and utterly offensive
billboard is universally condemned. but,
like the stocks and the use for cul-
mary purposes of water drawn from
the barnyard well, the time when these
nuisances will be generally condemned
and therefore not tolerated undoubtedly
will come. Like every other fight to
secure the abolition of the unsightly OF
the unseemly or the unhealthful, the
anti ti-billboard fight must be continued
until every device known to law has
been exhausted, If necessary. If the
majority of people actually want to see
the billboard eliminated there is no
doubt that they will be able to accom-
plish the thing they desire-but they
will have to keep everlastingly at 1t.
