Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 30--The repub-

representing the causes of high taxes
and it looks like a systematic cam
paign OF prevaricatioA has been ar
ranged.
The Holdenville Times in its last
issue nails one of these letters as fol-
lows:
Taxes are not only high in Okla
homa, but they are utterly and unrca-
sonably high The people have been
led to believe that none but corpora
tions would pay any taxes, but as they
walk up to the treasurer's window

per critic to observe home progress
through Taxes are not high in Okla
homa, except where local public lp.
proyements make them so. and then
the taxpayer gets full value in the inl-

who pay the taxes cannot be misled
into believing them, but such para
graphs as the above will find ready be-
levers abroad and deter many good
citizens OF wealth and progress from
casting their lot in the complaining

feathers and plumage of the back were
a jet black, the wings a light brown
and the breast golden yellow, hence
the name In the early days of the Hills
the birds were so numerous that they
were considered a menanoe to the set
tiers. Frequently they would swoop
down into the ranch lots. pick up a
lamb or small pig and fly away to
some orag, where they would deyour
the catch, or carry it 10 their young
Many stories are told Of golden eagles
having attacked small children
