The greensboro Inquirer says:
At the close of the executive ses-
sion of the American Society of
Equity late Thursday evening it was
announced that j. w. Dunn had re-
signed as district president and had
been succeeded by j. R. Weller. of
Ohio county. MIR. Dunn resigned be-
cause of the inactivity of Daviess
county in district work and because
of the small representation of Da-
viess county growers at the meeting.
He stated that he did not deem it
proper that the county doing the
least work should have the highest
office. Ed Lamar, of Hancock county,
and Price Baiid, of Daviess county,
were also placed in nomination.
ORGANIZATIONS AGREE.
One excellent and satisfactory re-
suit of the all day session Thursday
was an agreement between the Amer
lean Society of Equity and the Green
River District Tobacco Growers as
ISOLATION in regard to a cooperation
in the selling of the crop.
The resolutions adopted by each
organization and looking to their act
ing in concert in the matter of pric-
ing and selling tobacco this fall were
as follows:
GREEN RIVER ASSOCIATION.
Whereas, several tobacco organi- |
cation in the same territory are apt |
to be construed as rival organizations
therefore be it
Resolved, That this Green River
Tobacco Growers Association invite
the Green River District Tobacco |
Growers association of the A. S. OF
E., and the Home Warehouse associa-
ton to appoint committees to repre-
sent their several organizations in
for making prices and eff
fecting sales of all tobacco pledged to
either committee and the number of
members of these appointed commit
tees shall be determined upon the ba-
sis of the beard of control of this or
ganiZation as compared with the to-
Dacco controlled by the Green River
District of the A. S. of E. and Home
association.

MY views with regard to your duty
in the matter Of accepting morey
wnen there is no charge upon the tax
roll or a partial payment Of taxes Is
as follows: In the beginning, the tax
rolls are made up by the county clerk
and the collection Of the taxes COM
puted therein is ordered by a warrant
signed by the county clerk, bearing
his official seal, and attached to the tax
roll. and in that warrant you are in
structed as to how TO collect the taxes
| / do not believe that you are authoriz-
ed to accept any amount of taxes less
than one-half of the same and after
the period for the payment Of such
one-half Of tax is passed, you could
then accept no other than full and com
iplete settlement Of account However,
in the matter Of the Western Union
Telegraph company and the Pullman
company. there is no charge upon the
tax roll in your county, and you have
not been instructed by the county clerk
as required by law to collect any taxes
whatever from those companies, and
the collection of same. in my opinion.
would mean that you would hold the
money in trust. pending litigation-a
responsibility and duty which is not
in any sense incumbent upon you. If

should reply to kilograms such as
those enclosed: The tax rolls in my
hands do not show a charge against

am unauthorized to accept any amount
Of taxes. That should Be my reply to
such communication
In view Of the fact that the auditor
las been restrained By temporary
injunction from certifying the taxable
values OF these companies and for that
reason there being no charge upon the
tax roll as against such companies. I
do not believe that IN the event Of your
accepting any amount Of money tender
ed By the said companies that you
would be authorized to distribute the
same to the various county funds
Hence, the county would not be bene-
fitted by the temporary deposit Of such
moneys.

.v|NHA MAKES GOOD OFFER
FOR CONFEDERATE HOME
Proposes to Donate Forty Acres of Land Ad-
joining City, With Stream and Shade Trees
if Home is Located Here---Assures Com
mittee of Desire Of People of Vinita to
Have Home Here.

The people of this locality want this
home and will pledge their earnest
support and win do everything they
can to make the last days Of the old
soldiers as pleasant as possible, We
feel that it is the right place for such
a home
1t is free from malarial surroundings
and is as far north as you can get in
the state so that the hot, murky eli
mate will be less severe at this place
than any other which you may visit
on might locate The artesian water
found at this place is of sufficient i'm
Iportance to justify you in locating this
home here. Many OF the soldiers are
lanlicted with kidney affections and
this water is known to be good for
those Affections.
Vinita is a city Of parks and they
win grow better each year. They will
all be open and free to the use and
benefit Of the soldiers. The high roll
ling prairie which exists in the locality
which we are offering you will break
the monotpny of the home which might
exist elsewhere and help to entertain
the soldiers in their declining years.
Another important feature is the
question of fuel Natural gas can be
furnished to this home at a nominal
lprice and in abundance. The building
can be heated at very small cost
and at all times will be comfortable
A street car line will be built in the
near future past this home to a point
Iabout one mile beyond, where the hos
pital for the insane is being located BY
the state Of Ollanoma.
Building material can be obtained al
very low price. Pressed brick car
be laid on the ground at about $3.50
per Thousand.
The people i'm this locality want this
home They will help you do every
thing they can to build it up and tC
entertain and make the hast days oi
the occupants as pleasant as possible
We believe you can make no mistake
in accepting our proposition and 10
eating your home with us.
Very respectfully submitted,

bers Of the committee The party left

the proposition made by Vinita:

To the Honorable Committee locat-

Approaching your mission and the
responsibilities which deyolve upon
you, we desire to make you the follow

First. We propose to give forty acres
of land known as the James little
Homestead, with the house and barn
on the same, with stream travers

Guthrie, Okla, July 2s.--In reply to
Inquiries from number OF county Of
aciaIs Of the state. State Auditor
Trapp has sent out letter in which
he expresses the belief that county
treasurers are not authorized By law
to accept any amount of taxes less
than the full amount shown by the tax
rolls to be due and payable by the in
dividual OF corporation making the
sender
The question has arisen over the
attempt of the Pullman car company
and the Western Union Telegraph com.
pany to induce tie various county
treasurers Of the state to accept a
partial payment OF the taxes which
would be due from said companies un-
der the assessment Of 1903. we're such
assessment properly extended on the
tax rolls Of the different counties. BY
rteIegram the attorneys for the Pullman
oonpany offered to pay seven tenths
of the taxes fkat would be due under
the assessment and the Western Union
company has offered to make payment
on a basis Of onethird Of the assess
ment.
In Juiy. 1908. after the state board
had fixed the vaiuafa0n Of the Pullman
and Western Union companies. and
before the state auditor could certify
such valuations in the various counties
fle two companies named secured from
the federal court a temporary restrain
ing order. preventing the state auditor
from certifying such assessment to the
various counties. This case is still
pending and the restraining order still
in force.

mailed today by Auditor Trapp to Dr.

SCHOOL BONDISSUE
CARRIED EASILY
Proposition to Build High School Wins
BY Vote OF af6 to 1e-ward
School Wins 1888 to 81.

In an election in which there was
SO little interest shown that the re-
suit was somewhat in doubt, owing
to the light vote cast, the proposition
to issue $4,000 in bonds for the erec-
tion OF high school building, and
$4,000 for a ward school carried, the
former by vote of 216 to 16 and the
latter by 1888 to 81. The total vote
cast shows the lack of interest. It
became known last night that some
of the largest property owners in the
city were quietly fighting the PROPOSE
Ition. Their action had little result on
the outcome, for beyond their own
votes they were unable to make an
Impression. It is believed that the
action Of these men may result in
fight upon the proposition to buy the
Auditorium at the election next Tues
day. Some Of the men who yesterday,
liz is reported voted against the school
bonds, are heavily Interested in the
Auditorium proposition The oppos-
ition to the Auditorium bond issue has
not been very pronounced and the
satisfactory outcome Of yesterdays
election may thwart the fight that was
brewing.
There was a question raised as to
the legality Of the bond election un-
less a majority of the taxpayers voted
for the proposition, but section 10, ar
ticle 10, Of the constitution Of Okla
homa provides tnat the proposition
carried if majority of the qualified
voters of the city, voting at the cleo
tion favored the proposition.
