Game Now Merrily on ES-
pecially Strong Among
Insurgents.
OPPOSITION THINKS
CANNON MUST GO
ProgreSsives Fear Outcome Unless
Their Own Candidate Can
Be Elected.

Insurgent leaders In tho House are
looking forward with not little con-
Germ to the question of who is going TO
be centered on as the successor TO
Speaker Cannon when the time comes
wherein It is apparent that he is not
to be a candidate for another term.
OF course. neither Speaker Cannon
nor his friends will admit that he is
going TO so far yield TO insurgent pres
sure as to eliminate himself as a pos
sibility for Speaker Of the Congress
which will succeed this one. But this
is not the insurgent view. The in
surgent leaders insist with the greatest
show Of confidence that before the ses-
sion Is over Uncle Joe" Will be driven
10 give out a statement In which he
will say he will not seek another term
as head Of the House.
Will Be Easy.
It is suggested that any such state
ment. II II comes. viii come in a fash
ion which win make it eEsiest for the
Speaker. For instance, one suggestion
is that some OF the Speakers friends
may go 70 him and -rge him to consent
to run for Speaker again, and he will
take advantage OF the opportunity
gracefully 10 ueEllue
II the iusurgent view is correct, and
the insurgent leaders declare that
scores Of the members on the Repub-
lican side who are not insurgent are
fearful OF going into the next Congress
siOnal campaign If Mr.. Cannon remains
a prospective candidate for Speaker
once more, then the question Of who
will have the conservative support In
the House for Speaker becomes i'm
portant-
Also. the question Of who will have
the insurgent support for Speaker Is
of moment. The insurgent leaders all
along have cOntended thet Their battle
is not against Cannon, but against the
rules that he upholds. What they fear
is that Mr.. Cannon may step out and
that some new and younger man who
is less identified In The eyes OF the
country with the old order OF things
may be put into the Speakership and
the insurgent or progressive cause will
be left in more difficult position than
before.
Insurgents Active
Consequently. the insurgents will give
a great deal Of attention, as things de
velop. TO this question Of the mex
Speaker. Where is the man TO be found
on the Republican side, providing the
Democrats do not carry the House?
In this connection many names are
being discussed. The discussion IS going
on alike among the insurgents and the
regulars. They are talking over Tawney
and taking measure Of his capacity, and
over Payne and Mann, Hill, Townsend
LenrOot Walter I. Smith, Stevens OF
Minnesota, and number Of others
Thus far, there is no evidence OF any
concentration on any one mar But II
II were given out that Mr. Cannon would
not run for Speaker again there would
be great haste 10 obtain pledges.

One of the questions that tax pay
ers are inclined to ask at this time Ia
when will taxes he loweri In the
first place the state tax Is not now,
and has not been, as high as was the
territorial tax. Should the court up
hold the collection of special taxes
such as the Income Tax and Gross
Production Tax, the rate Of taxation
in the state although not high now,
can be lowered, in fact IL is possible
that as the state grows older that the
tins will arrive when IL will not be
necessary t. levy state tax. The
local tax is the high tax and the
more local the higher it generally is,
for instance our school tax is our
highest tax. On the western side of
the state il costs more than twice as
much to run a school now as 1t did
ten years ago. and it stands to rea-
son that If farmer paid ten dollars
school tax ten years ago he would pay
twenty dollars school tax now. The
reason for this is obvious. Teachers
wages during the past ten years has
almost doubled within the state of
Oklahoma and yet there are but few
persons who would be so foolish as to
assert tnat our teachers are over. paid
Everything is higher than it was ten
years ago and still few farmers would
care to 90 back to the basis of five
cent cotton and twenty cent corn.
They prefer to incur the necessary
extra expenses and get the present
prices for their farm products. in
fact il is easier to pay twenty dollars
school tax today than it was ten dol.
lars school tax ten years ago. What
is true of school taxes IS also true of
county and township taxes. There
seems to be but small chance of ma.
terially lowering local taxation in the
near future unless we stop building
roads and bridges and cut down the
length of the school terms.
