NEW ENGLAND WANTS
SENATOR GORE S HELP

Oklahoma City, Oct. 9.-"Come over
10 Macedonia and help us"
This pleading message is an excerpt
from q telegram received from Fred X
Mcleod Of Boston, chairnate Of the
Massachusetts democratic state com;
mittee. by Senator Gore, while IN Ok
laboma yesterday
Whether the famous Oklahoma
democrat win accept heYlnvitation
and assist in electing his party ticket
but recently nominated in the old Bay
state, has not been decided
The message Of yesterday says
'Wire date Of weeks stpmping tour
for Massachusetts this month. Demo
cratic and republican insurgent fusion
fight is on, in line with your sugges-
tions. Prospect Of putting old Bay
state right IN the van instead Of wrong
in the rear. Come over into Mace
donia and help us"
This is the first great acknowledg-
ment Of the doctrine OF Senator Gore
as expended in Kansas City where
he SAID that the country's welfare
should at all times be placed above
that of party and rather than see evil
conditions continued. democrats should
join hands with republicans to elect
republican insurgent congressman
where the possibility of electing dem.
ocrats we're remote,
Il would be only in this way that
the reign Of Joe Cannon, the peoples
enemy would be ended and the ma
tion's interests cared for, he said. The
message also comes as tribute to the
ability OF the man.

DISTURBANCE or LAND TITLES.

It Is unfortunate that the interior
department keeps on disturbing land
titles In the eastern and southeastern
parts Of the state oi Oklahoma upon
the theory that Il is stlll the guardian
Of the Indians who have become citi-
zons or 0klahoma ana 81 the United
States.
It is neg thus ln kmerican law
that an executive department IA Wash.
ington claims right to pass upon
titles to property which have been ap.
proved by the courts Of state, prop
erty 10 which the goxerument has had
no interest Of ownership since Il was
conveyed by treaty 70 the Indian
tribes.
This repeated Interference BY the
government at Washington retards the
progress Of Oklahoma by making land
tenures uncertain and purchasers tim
id. And II it be admitted that land
sharks have Ia some cases bought
lands from the Indians too cheap, It
must also be admitted that other land
sharks have opportunities for profit
in clouding the titles Of original pur-
chasers. Republic

Guthrie. Okla. Oc. 9.--Before the
adoption Of constitution people We're
led to believe that state taxes would
be ruinously high. The old territorial
gang Of grafters who were opposing
the adoption Of the constitution point'
ed out that most of the expenses Of
maintaining a territorial government
was borne by the federal government
ana that in the event Of statehood that
these expenses, as well as all expenses
incident to establishing penitentiaFys,
schools, reformatories. insane asylum,
institutions for the education Of the
deaf and dumb and blind, would fall
upon the tax payers
Territorial taxes was then running
from six to eight mills on the dollar
valuation. The anticonstitution crowd
predicted that statehood would necess-
itate an increase of levy to twenty
mills on the dollar for state purposes
Tie average state tax for the first
two years Of statehood is two and one
eighth mills instead Of twenty mills
or only about one-third Of the aver
age territorial levy
Thinking people ask why this is
true. and the answer is that under
democratic management corporations
are made to pay their part Of the
taxes.
Then there are fees collected by the
secretary Of state and insurance CONS
missioner amounting to thousands and
thousands Of dollars which go into the
state treasury instead Of the pockets
Of Office holders Gas formerly and
relieve tax payers of just that amount
OF burden Then there is the spe-
cial taxes the collection of which is
under the direction Of the state audi
tor
One Of these special taxes is called
the inheritance tax provided for by
the tirst legislature and Is = TAX levi
ed upon certain gifts, inheritances.
bequests. legacies. devices and sue
cessions. The amount of this tax is
computed by the judge Of the county
court having jurisdiction and is pay
able to the county treasurer before
the final settlement Of any estate liable
to the tax Both county judge and
county treasurer are required to make
report Of this tax to the state audi
tor. AT the present time this tax is
not bringing in much revenue but it
is tax that will gradually grow and
ia time will. no doubt, represent
large part OF. the state revenues, in
deed It is not impossible that this and
the other special taxes will in time
pay all the expenses Of administering
the affairs Of state.
The graduated tax enacted by the
first legislature was not so much for
the purpose Of raising revenue as for
preventing the acquisition Of large
tracts Of land by persons or corpora
tions to the detriment Of those who
actually till the soil. It provides the
levy Of a special tax on all persons
and corporations owning land in this
state in excess Of $40 acres Of average
taxable value and twenty dollars per
acre has been fixed as the average
value Of Oklahoma land provided that
$50 acres shall be exempt from the
graduated land tax regardless Of the
value thereof The. levy runs from
one-fourth OF one per cent to ten per
cent per annum and became effective

Since the publication Of the report
OF State Inspector and Examiner Tay-
lor on the conditions Of school land
department an oppressive silence
seems to have settled over the parti-
san republican press. It has been
busily engaged for several months in
trying to discredit this department
Of state regardless of the fact that
the schools Of the state have receiv-
ed more from this department than
ever before. 1t would appear to be in
conformity with common decency that
these papers should print the truth in
regard to the school land department
now that they have it but it appears
that the truth is not what they were
wanting.

Taxes Are Not RuinousIy
High as Was Predicted

F., land such as has retarded the growth
OF Kansas and many other states Of
the Union
The income tax as provided for in
Article 10. Chapter 81, session laws Of
Oklahoma, 1907-S, is tax levied upon
the income Of all persons whose gross
income exceeds three thousand five
hundred dollars per annuns from sal
aries, fees. trade, profession and prop
erty. It is the duty of the assessor
in making the annual assessment to
list all persons whose income exceeds
three thousand. five hundred dollars
per annum and to report the same TO
tine state auditor This is source
from which considerable tax will be
CLEANED this year and as the state
grows older and richer will yield more
each year This is certainly just
tax as any one whose income exceeds
thirty-dVe hundred dollars per year
can weH afford to bear more Of the
expense of government than the poor
fellows who have a struggle to pay
their grocery bills
Another source Of revenue levied In
conformity with promises made by
the democratic party is known as the
gross revenue tax. This IS a tax levied
upon the production of oil. gas. coal,
asphalt and other mineral productions.
When ii is remembered that these
products are seldom kept on the
ground where mined for but a few
hours and that the tax assessor rare
ly finds but few dollars in property
where many thousands Of dollars are
annually taken from the earth, it wiz
be seen how necessary tits to provide
some such tax to compel the mines
to bear just proportion of the bur
den Of government.
This gross production tax is one
half Of one per cent of the actual cash
value of all the products mentioned
above. Reports are required. to be
made to the state auditor showing the
amount of minerals. oil and gas. mined
during each quarter and the tax is
required to be paid quarterly, being
delinquent after thirty days and bear
ing a penalty after that time This
is a tax which viii produce a great
amount Of immediate revenue. and
while it is being resisted in the courts.
it is believed that the collection will
not be long deferred.
Another part Of the gross revenue
tax provides for levy upon all pub
lie service corporations doing bust
ness in the state up to a certain per
cent of the gross receipts Of such pub
lie service corporations. The FIRST
taxes under this law became due June
30th, 1909. and after October 1st. 1909,
the tax becomes delinquent This is
an annual tax. the non-payment o:
which incurs heavy penalty
People viii remember that all Of
these special taxes are made in con-
formity with the democratic platform
and we're explained by democratic pa
pers and orators. Taxes from these
sources will amount to nearly eight
hundred thousand dollars at the pres
ent time and. as above intimated, may
at some future time bear all the ex-
penses of the state
DO not forget that there has never
been a time in the history Of Okla
homa but what the republican party /
could have enacted these same laws
and relieved the poor over-burdened.

MISSING WOMAN
FINALLY LOCATED
MRS. WERNER SAID TO BE
WORKING ON RANCH NEAR
EUREKA JUNCTION.
Grave Fears Were Felt Because of
Threats She Is Alleged to Have
Made Against Her Life.

Word was received here yesterday
bv Peter Werner, whose wife had been
mysteriously missing since last Thurs
day that she had been located on the
ranch of Charles Rice, two miles from
Eureka Junction.
Stating to her neice, Martha Peter
son, that she was going to leave TOT
Connel, where she would spend sever
al days visiting relatives Mrs. Wer-
ner hacked a suit case and disap'
peared Il has now been found that
she went to the employment office OF
Mrs. Mollie Johnson, in this city, and
asked for a position. This was fur
nished her and on the same day she
went to Eureka Junction where she
has since been employed as a cook
The reason for this strange behavior
on the part of Mrs. Werner is, ac-
cording to Mr. Werner. that she be-
lieved she would become much strong
err, living in the country than in the
city, but thinking that her husband
would object to her leaving here, she
was afraid to tell him. Consequently
her story regarding the visit she was
to pay to her relatives in Connell was
made up for the occasion.
Mr.. Werner has not gone after his
wife yet and at the present time IS
undecided what to do as he fears that
any sudden shock might be serious for
her. In conversation with a newspaper
representative this morning he said
that he believed he would let her re-
main where she was for a few days
as the life in the fresh air would prob
ably prove invaluable in a case such
as she has.
During the absence Of Mrs. Werner
grave fears were felt by many because
of the numerous threats she has
made against her own life were she
convinced that she would be sent to
the asylum again, and thinking that
she had been deluded into this belief
it was regarded as not improbable that
she had carried the threat into execu-
ton
