Taft's Fare Per Pound

Letter to New York Times: Presi-
dent Taft In his message declares that
s~econd-class mail is carried at q loss
OF $63,00O,O00 q year. and that 1t
costs 8 cents q pound to transport It.
1t would be interesting to know how
these figures are arrived at. "A few
years ago the p~ostofice department
reported that 1t cost from S TO 8 cents
q pound to carry second-class mail.
IL It really does cost 9 cents q pound,
the p%0stoflce department is open to
severe ensur for paying the rail-
roads such excessive rates.
It does not speak very we'll for the
business ability OF u postoflce de-
partment, when we look ACROSS the
border into Canada and flnd In that
country Of magnificent distances and
sparsely settled as compared with the
United States, that second-class mat
ter Is carried at half a cent q pound,
and the Canadian postofice depart
ment In some years lately, lam told,
has shown a profit of nearly half a
million dollars.
The railroads are willing to- carry
aS20O-pound man from New York to
Chicago-1,0OO miles-for 9 cents a
pound give him q seat, heat the car
he rides in, and light Ii.
InSthe case Of our worthy president,
II he were to take q trip from New
York to- Chicago, and pay his fare,
tho railroads would be compelled to
transport him TOR less than s cents
9 pound.

TOMMY LANES TROUBLES.

Kimball Graphic: Indian Agent
Tom Lane had some trouble with an
ugly Indian on the Grow Creek re-
servation last week, as told by Il. A.
Reynolds in this Office Saturday. The
Indian refused to send his children
to school and Tom sent the police
man after him. They brought him
in and his first act was to smash the
agent in the face with some kind Of
a weapon, breaking his glasses and
cutting him over the eye seriously.
The ugly redskin was taken before
U. S. Commissioner Tidrick Friday,
hut it appears that there Is no federal
law that can touch an Indian for sim
pie assault on the reservation. Tom
ought to keep a good big ak handy
after this.

'overnment Agricultural Report Put
Their Totals Of Productsoa Up If
Big Figures

stlllef6 OF the 40ll IN THIS country are
only scratching the surface Of the
earth. as James ]. Hill says thsyssre.
the top layers must possess q fertil-
ity and productivity undreamed Of in
the worlds history.
In the report Of the Department Of
Agriculture. which Secretary Wilson
submitted to the president this week,
the yield of farm lands is shown to
reach in its approximate valuation,
the dazzling. almost stunning total OF
1890, 100000. The farmer has had
a season that was more bountiful by
$869,0OO,00 than any former year,
and it is made plain that the land
about whose fertility so much fear
has lately been expressed, is still in
possession of sources of almost incon-
ceivable wealth. wealth that is
without parallel in the history of the
world.
If $1,0OO,0OO more were added to
the general total of productivity it
would represent a sum equal to at
least half the total railroad assets OF
the country. The farmer has turned
out wealth that is three times greater
than the gross traffic revenues col
lected by the railroads in 1908. In
corn alone, and in a period limited to
12O days of last summer, the fields
of the west gave up a crop worth ST.
72O, 900. The estimated value
of the cereal crop alone is $4,000
900, 900.
1t is shown that in the last ten
years the products Of the farms and
open lands have almost doubled in
quantity and value. Eleven years ago
the Agricultural department reported
a total Of $4,417, 100000 in its an
nual statement. In the intervening
year 1t is estimated that the surface
OF this country has yielded an equi-
valent Of $70,000.000.000
Animal products in the past years
are estimated at $3,000.000, 900. All
along the line, In cotton, hay, oats,
tobacco. and potatoes, there have
been tremendous increases.
This report OF Secretary Wilson il
really the final word on the prosperity
Of the country. It will have influence.
too, In settling tariff disputes. The
prosperity Of the country is depend

good after a tariff bill the tariff comes
in for some Of the credit. If the crops

So prosperity is certain. The only

why the prices Of farm products re-

and in this way the children are
brought into good practice for get
ting out of their rooms In order and
without confusion.
Friday afternoon the schools clos
ed and Miss Pease was giving her pu-
pills an illustration of the Christmas
tree. 1t was standing close to an
open window and the current of air
coming in blew a small strip of crepe
paper into the flame of a candle, and
in a twinkling all the paper on the
tree was ablaze, extending up nearly
five feet in height. Miss Pease did
not turn around to watch the pupils
but sought to smother the flames by
throwing some burlap over the tree
after having laid it on the floor.
While she was doing this she heard
the pupils talking to each other about
getting in line, but paid no attention
to what they we're doing. Having ex-
tinguished the blaze Miss Pease turn
ed to say something to her pupils.
but to her surprise she found an emp
ty room, and going to the door she
found the children lined up on the
sidewalk In perfect order as in the
usual case Of the ire drill. The chill
dren were marched back into the
room and took their seats. This
whole incident was accomplished
without the pupils In the room across
the hall knowing that there had been
a fire or that the children had even
marched out Of the room. Much
praise is due Miss Pease for the good
training she has given the children
and an equal amount Is due the chill
dren for the manner in which they
acted by marching out Of the room
in such good order without the COM
mand Of the teacher. Without a

room. perhaps some being hurt, and

FARclcAL TAX FERRET" LAW

Notwithstanding the discourage
ment resulting from superior court S
decision in the Adler case in Logan
county, The oklahoman is inclined to
believe that when the "tax ferret
cases from Oklahoma City are pre-
sented to the supreme court Of the
state. with certain evidence that is
calculated to prove the illegitimacy
of the so-called law. that the trouble
some dream-disturber will be knocked
higher than Gileroys kite.
The measure was introduced in the
first state legislature of Oklahoma by
the late Senator Johnson of Caddo
county and was almost verbatim
copy of a similar law operating bene-
fcially in the state Of Iowa No one
who was honored by an acquaintance
with Dr. Johnson can for a moment
doubt his integrity Of purpose in faith
ering the measure. although IL is rea-
sonably certain he had not thought
out the possible injustice that might
be wrought by a law that would ar
feet only the residents of one-half Of
the state or the possibility that its
enforcement might fall into the hands
of inscriptions individuals.
The inQuity of the so-called law lies
in the fact that il applies with equal
severity to the just and the unjust.
The tax-dodgers. like the poor. are al
ways with us. and the commonality
is not disposed to wall when the sins
OF such persons find them out: but
it is found that the "ferrets" have
placed millstones on the necks Of
some persons who are guilty Of no
evasion and others who have only con-
structively avoided payment of the
proper amount of taxes. In some in
stances the citations are ludicrous. as
in the case Of one Oklahoma City in
dividual who is expected to disgorge
S700, 600 and yet vino does not have
and never did have worthy goods OF
cash to the amount Of $1,000. Other
instances, to a degree similarly ludi-
crous. are numerous.
II this so-called law is held effective
injustice will be done If il is nulifed
only a few fee-chasers will be disap-
pointed. .-Oklahoman.
