Republican territorial form of
government for one year, in
other words if the Democrats had
made their state levy for the
state government for only a
period Of time that the republi |
cans made it for the territorial
form of government, we would
have saved in the neighborhood |
of IS, 100000.
Another item. Frank, of con.
siderable Importance to the pro-
ducers of this country, that you
could have stated in your article
instead of writing an article that
smacks of danger signal for the |
purpose of soaring and prevent.
ing the free and independent !
exercise of the electorate fran
chise of the people of this coun-
try, you might have called their
attention to the rate on corn and
show to the producers of this
county that the freight rate on
corn alone is reduced nine cents
per hundred, and, with the keen
demand and competition by the
purchaser of that cereal crop,
that nine cents hundred goes
directly to the producer and you
could have easily made this es
innate, that in the event there is
five million bushels of corn sold
in Caddo county, it would be a
direct saving to the farmer of at
least 100000. These matters
become Of direct interest 10 the
producing class of this country
matters that they like 60 figure on
as it does not take writer like
you and myself to explain this to
men of ordinary intelligence ]
am inclined to believe, however,
that the intelligent electorate of
Oklahoma will accept your ad-
vice very similar as they did up.
on the rejection of the corsti-
tuition, upon your advice to elect
Republican state officers, which
yon know they repudiated by a
multiplied thousands of votes
The truth of the matter, Frank
is that the Republican party o.
Oklahoma needs thorough
renovating, the old Federal Of
flee holder must be eliminated
and use new blood of the Re-
publican party, like yourself
men who are able to write, moi
using figures, although they are
before you in superabundance.
Frank, we are willing to say to
the intelligent electorate of Ok
laboma that our state admins
tration has been conducted or
the very highest plane Of citizen
ship, under the most economical
plan conceivable in the minds oil
men. The people of Oklahoma
have enjoyed the blessings OF
statehood and freedom, when
you meet them they have adif-
ferent look, different spirit, tht
spirit of liberty prevails and we
appreciate that we are living
under a state government whose
basic law is built by the people
that it's wholesome privileges
are for the protection of the in
dividual, representing no olass
but every man stands equal be

| Iwant to make this further
observation in conclusion of thi
article, that L the people are il
favor of the same economic splaI
of government in national affair
that has been put in force in Ok

as complained of by my friend,
Frank, and which deficit is so
alarming to him and only
amounts, in the aggregate, to
1851, 327.92. And it is for Mr.,
Heskett to throw up his hands il
holy horror and say to an in
telligent public that it is possible
that the courts might hold the
revenue tax law invalid.
Nett her did Mr.. Heskett tell
you that the different sources
from which taxes could be de
rived for the State Of Oklahoma
for general revenue purposes
were also collected through the
insurance commission and the
Secretary's Office as above stated
and by the Board Of Agriculture,
the interests collected by the
Treasurer on bank deposits, and
from the sale of statutes, su-
preme court reports and from
other special taxes on coal, oil,
pipe lines, railroads, express com =
panies, telephone and telegraph
companies, incomes, etc., |
suppose Frank had lived in the
territory 80 long that some of the
above mentioned objects of tax
alton had become go immune

wac impossible they could ever
be taxed and especially his client
The Rock Island railway com
pany, would ever again become
subservient to the laws of any
state and be required to contribute
it, pre- rata through taxation,
however, as againsHthe opinion OF
my friend, our state board of
equalization, after a lsboriuus
task. nave stated TO the intelli
gent electorate Of Oklahoma that
they believe that it will only be
necessary that We pay by direct
taxation the sum of S910,634 %
and that the sum OF S641, ,575 IS
can be collected through the dif
ferent interests represented by
insurance panies, business
transacted through the Score
tary's office and special taxes on
coal, oil, pipe lines, railroads. etc.,
and that it will be unnecessary
for the citizenship OF this coun
try "a bear that burden.

the people of Caddo country in
his statement that of the 81, 752,

people of Oklahoma the great
and exorbitant rates that have
been charged here, but you
might explain thstin the eighteen
years of the Republican Federal
congress it never offered this re.
lief to the people of Oklahoma.
Twill ask you another ques-
ton, why did not you state in
your article that under the Ter.
ritorial form of government and
the Republican administration
the railroads in this country only
paid thirteen per cent of the tax.
es for the maintenance of the
territorial government and ex-
penses and that under state form
of government and democratic
officers the railroads paid twenty
three per cent of the taxes to-
wards the maintenance of the
state government, almost one-
, fourth.
Another item possibly that
would have been of interest in
your article would have been
the great reduction in freight
rates. You have seen no reason
to discuss it, however, being
Mortified at the remote possibility
Of the state being somewhat be-
hind in It's finances a year from
, now. You might have told the
farmer and business man of the
country that under your terri
torial form of government the
} rate on lumber for twenty mile
, haul was S19, so and the rate now
under statehood is $3.50. For a
two hundred mile haul under the
old territorial form of govern
ment it was $500, under the
new state rate it is S21.90. Take
fence posts, Frank, that all of us
, use, YOU and | have possibly
morticed many a hole IN old
mother earth for them, under
your Republican territorial form
of government for hauling them
, only twenty miles it cost S26 90,
under the state rate under ex
, travagant Democrats it is 9.92,
under your economical Repub
lican administration for a hum
dred mile haul it was S52. 90, under
extravagant Democracy it is only
S20.16. A two hundred mile
aaul OF this same article under
your economic government was
? S90 90, under extravagant De-
mocracv it is S29.76.
Take for instance fuel and
crude oil, this, Frank, would
have. been of interest to the good
;. people of this country, something
that all OF us use, a general u d
4 necessary commodity, under the
t old territorial carpet bag regime
4 a twenty mile haul of fuel and
crude oil car was S48 90 the
state rate is S30.40; on Two
, hundred mile haul under the old
! gang it was Sl48,00, under the
extravsgant Democratic admin
. is'ration, of which you exolaim,
itIs S68 90. Now these are facts
, and figures that were just as &C
3 cessible TO you as they are to
