Authors Busy
In Oklahoma
NUMBER OF BOOKS HAVE BEEN
ISSUED IN THE YOUNGEST
STATE.

KINGFTSHER, Okla, Jan. 24.-That
Oklahoma, although the youngest of
States, is not deficient in learning and
literature is evidenced by the number
OF books that have been issued from
the press of late by Oklahoma au-
thors. Thousands of pounds of litera-
tlre have been produced in the last
few months and the output promises
in time to equal that OF Indiana. The
latest production of an Oklahoma sa-
want is controversial work of re-
ligious nature entitled God Is" from
the scholarly pen Of F. w Jacobs. The
work has created a sensation among
local literary critics and fierce con-
troversy is raging as a result of its
publication. The conclusions of the
author are summed up in the final
paragraph OF the bronchure, which Is
as follows:
Through the syzygy we have out
lined here, relative environment can
not be thought Of as defeating affinity
in the absolute. We conclude that
God is and that Immortality Is fact
and that syzygy of abiding places Is
open to view"
The principal difference of opinion
among the critics is as to the "syzygy,' :
some declaring that it is wild ami
nal, while others insist that it is a
new prohibition" drink. Consldera-
BILE alarm is also felt at the authors
use OF the word affinity" the Oldest
citizens declaring that there has new
er been case of affinity here and that
such an implication is a reflection on
the town.

GLAD TO HAVE HIM GO.
ToII-Gate Keeper Thought He Had
Visit from His Satanic Majesty.

This is not the only age in which
motor cars have created excitement
and disturbance. In 1902 such appari-
tions were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at
tract attention. Mr.. Joseph HattOn, in
"Old Lamps and New" tells Of the
fright caused by one OF T~revithick's
steam locomotives, made to u on
unrailed roads in the early part OF the
last century.
Now and then one Of these extraor-
binary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and putting on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one In disguise.
One of the cars, coming to a toll
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened. The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth. which
chartered audibly.
The driver asked him how much toll
there was to pay.

FIFTY-SIXTH DAY.

Aside from the sundry appropriation
bill conferences, the day was devoted to
miscellaneous bills of all kinds, in both
branches. The House passed the Me
MILAN bill providing for the protection
of horticulture by adopting measures for
DISCRIMINATING insect pests, and the same
BODY passed another bill introduced by
the senator from Carroll. the bill pro-
viding for the proper marking and weigh
ing OF cotton by public ginners and cot
ton weighers.
The Senate took up and pushed the
Adair banking bill, providing for the
strengthening of banks by certified cash
capital in hand, and for sworn state
ments bv officers and directors four
times IL each year.
The conferrees on the Industrial 1nsti-
tute and College and the Agricultural
and Mechanical College bills reported
that they had gotten together, the House
having conceded the tag fee feature to
the Senate and the Senate conceding to
the House the Burkitt rider.
The privilege tax question came before
the Senate next and naturally brought
on discussion of a vigorous nature.
The bill as it came from the House,
had been considerably amended by the
committee. In addition to these, num-
erous amendments were added by the
Senate of which the tax on express COM
panies created more talk. As the law
now stands. it taxes express companies
$500. and $500 per mile on all tirst-class
railroad tracks. The Senate raises this
tax from $500 to 81 900, and strikes out
$500 per mile, and inserts III place OF
this $500 per mile.
The tax on meat packing houses was
doubled from 500 to 5000 a year, and
Mr.. Pollard moved to reconsider this
vote and opposed the increase.
The Senate went into committee of the
whole to consider this bill. Mr.. Harper
desired to amend the tax on transient
vendors of patent medicines from $500
to 81. 900, but this was lost.
The House doubled the whole list of
items under "peddlers," making it $40
instead of $15 for each foot peddler and
the Senate committee recommended that
the old law stand. Mr.. Brown sought to
decrease even these small amounts. The
old law was restored.
Pistol Cartridges came up next, and
it was desired to amend this by ~increas-
ing the tax on dealers in pistol cart
ridges capable of being fired in pistols or
out of shells" from $40 to $50. This
was the wish of a majority of the Sen
ate and hence prevailed.
The tax on each sewing machine for
each company, $25, was adopted.
The tax on skating and bicycle Kinks
was increased considerably, and on the
telephone companies was decreased some
what for the smaller exchanges, and in,
creased somewhat for the larger ex-
changes.
Mr.. East offered an amendment fixing
an additional tax of $3.50 on each tele-
phone company doing a telegraph bust
ness, and the committee accepted that.
