CLAWS IS STILL
AFTER BALL|NGER
Has Prepared a Report That is Said
to Be scorcher - other Men
Higher UP are Mentioned.

Washington, d. G, Nov lO.--lf
President Taft thought he could get
rid of Inspector l.. R. CLAWS by firing
him after CLAWS had made serious
charges against his chief, Secretary
of Interior r. A. Ballinger, for his
alleged irregular dealings in connec-
tion with the Cunningham coal land
entries in Alaska. he was badly fool
ed. for when the chief executive re-
turns to the national capital the mid
die Of this month after his trans-con-
tinental junket, he will find on his
desk a history Of the Cunningham case
prepared by CLAWS.
1t is understood that CLAWS has pre-
pared report that Is a scorcher and
that other men high up in the present
administration. besides Secretary Bal
linger. receive honorable(D mention.
In fact, 1t is hinted that at least one
other member of President Taft's cab
met figures strangely in the report
The CLAWS report has been ready
for week but owing to the fact that
important elections were being held
in several states. the publication OF
the report was deferred temporarily as
CLAWS did not desire to embarrass the
republican party. If the CLAWS re-
port proves as red-hot a document as
is promised, it will give some Of the
leading republican insurgents in con
gress another chance to sink the har
poon into Cannon and the admins
tration.

that is standing between them and
what they desire?
About the only thing that Is left for
the special interests to do to place Ok
lahoma on the same footing with other
states is for the federal court to set
aside a part of the constitution and
as said above that provision is SO rea-
sonable that the court will hardly 40
it. The other thing that is left for
the special interests is to try to have
the enemies Of the constitution placed

hundreds of columns of dope is writ

Of columns Of articles calculated to
discredit some law or some officer is
published for the sole purpose Of gain
ing control over the administration OF

pens. does not require any stretch Of

TAX FERRET SYSTEM

for the collection Of such taxes prior
to that time are void This sustains
a decision by Judge J. G. strang in
the Logan county court
The present tax ferret law as amend
ed by the last legislature applies sub
sequent to statehood. This decision
of the supreme court defeats the col
lection of hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars in taxes in the different coun.
ties. Ferrets found that in some in
stances property mad not been listed
for taxation for more than fifteen
years. Collection of taxes on such
property would have consumed the
