Guthrie. Okla. July 2S.--In reply to
Inquiries from a number Of counts Of
ncials Of the state. State s.ditor
Trap has sent ous letter in which
ne 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 or corporation making the
tender
The question has arisen over the
attempt Of the Pullman car company
and the Western Union Telegraph com
pany to induce tae various cornty
treasurers Of the state to accept a
partial payment Of the taxes which
would be due from said companies unf
der the assessment OF 1908, were snch
assessment properly extended on the
tax rolls Of the different counties. BY
telegram the attorneys for the Pullman
company offered to pay seven tenths
OF the taxes that would be due under
the assessment and the Western Union
company has offered to make payment
on a basis Of one.third Of the assess
ment
IN July, 1908. after the state board
had fixed the valuation Of the Pullman
and Western Union companies, and
before the state auditor could certify
such valuations in the various counties
he two companies named secured from
the federal court temporary restrain
Ing order. preventing the state auditoI
from certifying such assessment to the
various counties. This case Is still
pending and the restraining order still
IN force.

for the systematic training of his
workers has beon in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States tho general made his
drst tentative announcement Of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many Of the details and he has Just
consented to the beginning Of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
It is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery Of civilization for the uplift-
ing Of the submerged tenth. the vast
system Of charities now 80 essential
. part Of modern life, is to very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. It was the Salvation
Army which nrst made 4 practical
working success Of this now familiar
principle Of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan Of campaign for
raising the fallen began on . very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crimeinfested East end Of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that 1t
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity It has developed into q truly
astonishin9 organization.
Some OF the departments of Its
voek are: PrisonSate and Rescue.
Insbeiatss' homes. Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration.
Naval an Military homes, Maternity
