Of Oklahoma territory have been de-
prived Of the revenue from saloon Ii
censes and as a means Of replenish-
ing their empty Golfers a number Of
them have passed ordinances levying
an occupation tax upon all classes Of

The Enid city council adopted an
occupation tax and incidentally tax
ed preachers each ten dollars a year
for the privilege Of preaching prohi-
hition doctrine. This action stirred
up hornets nest in the council
chamber and Edmond Frantz, bro
ther Of Ex-Governor Frantz, contend
ed that as ministers are engaged in
commendaible work they should be ex-
cepted from such tax. Councilman
Messan spoke IN favor Of the tax, say
ing that the preachers were the lead
ers in the prohibition movement,
(which had gotten the city into a
hole,' and he thought they ought tc
be willing to help pay the fiddler foi
