SMALL RUFFLE is GOOD.
Becoming Arrangement Of Tulle In
White or Colors.

Becoming Arrangement Of Tulle in
White or Colors.
The rufle of the moment Is very
becoming arrangement Of tulle in
white or colors. the middle of which
Is under the chin, and the strings tied
tightly at the back.
One great objection to the long
ruflle is that il hides the often very
pretty line of the shoulders, but the
little neck ruff is not open to this OBJ
lection The wide-brimmed hats sur.
rounded by ruchings of silk or tulle
ought always to have a neck run to
match the latter, so very becoming Ia
the effect. For instance, one of the new
small brown straw toques, with tan
brown ruche of tulle, this repeated in
the run round the neck, goes beau
tifully with a clinging brown alpaca
frock, and is rendered inexpressibly
dainty by the addition of touch or
two of soft gray blue tulle, just rest
ing on the hair.
1t is pity that one cannot describe
in words the exact tone of this very
becoming soft blue. 1t is not tur-
quoise.. and 1t is not natter, but is
very much softer and paler, and
grayer than either.

To Hold Woman Golfers skirts.

An easy way for women golfers to
keep their skirts in order when put

player in either part of the game This
elastic is hitched up to the back waist

TWO CENT FARE.

Before the admission OF Oklahoma
lrto the Union, three cents a mil'
was the minimum passenger fare on
all railroads operating in the state.
Under the Oklahoma constitution,
written by 90 democrats. twelve re-
publicans and one Independent, two
cents mile Is the maximum rate
which any railroad Is allowed TO
charge. unless the management can
prove. to the satisfaction Of the cor
poralion commission that higher
rate IS necessary in order that the
road may be operated at profit
With The exception Of one or two
branch lines. the two-cent fare IS In
force throughout the state.
What this provision alone saves to
the people Of Oklahoma iu single
year is hard 20 estimate but it viii
undoubtedly amount to more than all
the taxes collected TO support the
state government for o year.
Oklahoma has a population OF l.
100000 human souls. n is fair to pre-
sumo that at least one out Of every
three Of our population rides on n
railroad train az least once eacn year.
II 100000 Oklahomans should each
travel 200 miles each year on the
railroads of the state, II would repre-
sent a total mileage of 100,000000
miles. The two-cent fare law saves
the travelling public one cent on each
mile travelled, so that on this low es-
innate, It would show saving OF
$1,0OO,OOO in actual cash for one year
Estimate the saving in your own
case for yourself Just remember
that every time you travel ten miles,
you have saved ten cents, thanks to
Oklahoma democracy. Every time you
travel hundred miles, give the dem
ocratic party credit for sewing you one
dollar. and remember at the same
time that, thanks to other rulings OF
democratic corporation commission,
the cars are kept cleaner and the SER
vice Is better than II ever was under
republican territorial rule. Remem-
be also. that. thanks to an act passed
by the unanimous vote Of the demo-
Gratis in the first state legislature,
there are separate coaches and wait
ng rooms provided for negroes on az
railroads within the state.
That the democratic party In Okla
homa deserves all the credit for this
saving cannot be denied. For eigh-
teen years the republican party had
control OF affairs in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. With the exception
OF single legislature they controlled
every session of the law making body
OF Oklahoma. During the entire
eighteen years they had majority
In the national congress. which made
all the laws for Indian Territory.
There was not year In all that time
that the republican congress could
not have compelled the railroads OF
Indian Territory to carry passengers
for two cents per miles There was
not session OF the republican legis-
lature OF Oklahoma that could not
have given the people of that terri.
tory the same relief. The republican
party failed utterly To even attempt
such relief for eighteen years. The
democratic party gave the people the
two-cent fare the minute Inc constitu
ton went into effect.

Figure Your own Taxes.

II isn't necessary for any taxpayer
70 allow any one to deceive him about
what his state taxes are going to be.
~ YOU will go to the county clerks
office and see what the assessed val
uation of your farm or personal prop
erty Is, you can tell in three minutes
what your state taxes will be. The
state levy is one and a fourth mills
on the dollar.
That means simply that for every
dollar OF valuation your property will
have 10 pay one and a fourth mills
toward the support OF the state gov
ernment Just take the valuation In
dollars and multiply by one and
fourth and then point of three deci-
NAL points That will give YOU your
state taxes in dollars and cents.
Il must also be remembered that
your state taxes will be only small
portion OF tho total tax YOU must pay
but Il is the only tax with which the
state officers or state administration
have anything to do with levyiag or
collecting.
This levy OF one and fourth mills
Is made TO cover all the expense OF
state government, aud is all the
money raised by taxation for that
purpose. Your other tax is for the
expense OF your county, township and
school district government, and the
levy for thees added taxes Is made by
your board Of county commissioners
absolutely Independent OF The state
officials or the state tax board
For instance, the republican
sneakers and republican papers are
pointing out numerous instances In
Noble county where they claim the
taxes on certain farms will be more
than doubled, and are charging IL all
up TO democratic eNtravagance.
The facts OF the matter are that the
farm lands OF Noble county will pay
less money in state taxes this year
than they paid last year in territorial
taxes.
A farm valued at $4,000 would pay
only S5.25 state taxes. farm valued
at $4,000 would pay only 5000 state
taxes.
Where does the other 500 which
those republican papers and speakers
say you arc going 10 have 10 pay
Come from. 1t comes from your re
publican board Of county commits
sioners in Noble county. How car
the democratic state officials prevent
a republican board of county com
missioners from collecting an enor
mously high county tax? The fxins
OF the levy for county purposes Is
entirely in the hands OF the county
board of each county, and II your
taxes are higher this year than they
were last your board OF county com
missiouers are the men whom YOU
should look 10 for an explanation, snt
NOT TO the democratic state admin
istration.
The democratic state administration
has exercised the utmost caution anC
economy in expenditures in order tt
keen down the burden OF taxes. The,

TAX Law IS

SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT

A2 N38 H&N
Washington, May 18.-In deciding
the case Of the Galveston & San An
tonic Railway company against the
state Of Texas. involving taxes on that
and other Texas roads, the supreme
court Ct the United States held to be
unconstitutional We Texas .aw Of
1905, fixing the tax rate Of railroads
equal to one per cent. on their gross
earnings when they lie wholly withlE
the state and a proportionate sum
when they lie partly within the state.
The opinion was delivered by. us-
tice Holmes, who held that the law
is In effort to regulate interstate
commerce and that therefore the tax
could not be collected. The chief JUS
tice and Justices Harlan, White and
iMcKenna united in q dissenting opin-
ion which was delivered by Justice
Harlan. Justice Harlan expressed
the opinion that the decision strikes

MEN WHO MADE HISTORY.

The suggestion Of The Gazette that
an effort should be made to bring to-
gether the pioneers of eastern Mon
tana, now living, that they might re-
tell Of their experiences in pioneer
days that a correct story of the de-
velopment of this section of the state
might be written, seems to have met
with the approval of many of the pio-
neers. This morning The Gazette
prints a communication from George
Town of Bridger, containing the
names and addresses Of many of the
earliest frontiersmen. Some of the
names are of men now prominent in
the public life of Montana. 1t would
certainly be an excellent means of Sc
curing the correct story of the life of
Montana pioneers and a history of the
early days in the northwest if the
men named in Mr.. Towns letter could
be brought together. AS Mr.. Town
says it is time some effort was made
to do so.
