DEMOCRACY AND TAXATION

The Republican yellow journals and
overtime in their attempts to preju-
dice the people against the Democ-
racy
They are raising great howl about
taxes.
You should ask the voter to exam
inc his tax receipt-what he is pay
ing for school district tax; what he is
paying as township tax; (he voted for
improvements): what he is paying as
county tax; as city tax, etc.--caIl his
attention TO the heavy local improve.
ments; tell him that of all his tax he
is paying, only 1-2 mills Is for state
purposes or, $3.50 on the $1,000 valua-
tion.
Explain to him that IA mill Of this
state tax is for common schools, Ia
for public buildings (reformatory at
Granite, Wilburton school Of mines,
IT. Supply insane asylum and prepar-
a.ory school at ,Claremore) fraction
more than one mill is to cover the
deficit caused by the non-colection of
the corporation taxes which are now
being fought in the Federal court.
This leaves less than one mill
levied for all oher state purposes.
If we succeed in winning out
against the corporations in the Fed
eral court, the state tax next year
will not be worth mentioning.
Voters should remember that al
though the Republicans are making
a great howl for prejudice against
the Democrats, they are not making
any statements about what they will
do il the reins of government are
placed in their hands-we saw for
seventeen years before statehood
what they did, and they have fought
every good law offered since.
The guaranty law; the income tax
law; the labor laws; the gross rev
enue law; the Jim Grow law, and
have rendered the railroads all pos
sible assistance in Jhting for the
repeal Of the two cent fare law, and

CANNON BACK
Speaker Fails to See How Democrats
Can Make Good.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Philosophic
and smiling. Speaker Joseph G. Can
non returned to Washington today.
While mildly deploring the result OF
the recent election in which. he said,
"a majority has made a mistake in
giving our friends. the Democrats,
control of the Sixty-second con-
gress," he added:
with that responsibility it remains
to be seen what they will do. shall
be glad IL they find themselves able
to redeem their promises in the cam
paign-to reduce the cost of living
and increase the price of labor"
Speaker Cannon does not expect
the passage of much legislation in the
forthcoming session. due to the scant
time in which congress will be en-
abled to act. He expects the appro-
priations for the coming fiscal year
will be in the neighborhood of one
thousand million dollars.

INDIAN CONTRACTS
Adams Told About the so, ,OOO.OOO Col.
lection Before Committee.

Washington. Nov. 26.-Contracts by
Richard c. Adams, an attorney to
collect from the federal government
$20,000,0O0 for Indians of the five
civilized tribes. were explained today
by Adams to the house special COM
mittee appointed to inquire into con-
tracts with the Indians. Adams is a
Delaware Indian, residing here and
most of his contracts were with that
people.
We're Adams to collect all his
claims, he would be entitled to con-
tingent fee ranging from ten to thirty
five per cent. He estimates that the
average fee would be sixten or seven
ten per cent. This would amount to
more than s3O,o00.OO0. In addition.
Adams told the committee he had a
contract to attend to claim of Cher
okees against the state of Texas, aris-
ing out of land alleged to have been
taken from the Indians and involving
probably $4,000 900. OF this he would
get a contingent fee Of thirty-five per
cent.
The claims against the federal gov
ernment included war claims, remun-
Grafton for Delaware" lands given to
New York Indians, and the right to
land free from twenty-five year
restriction as to sale.
Adams denied the statements that
Representative Carter of Oklahoma
had testified Adams had made at a
dinner at the latter's house last spring
in regard to the attempt to get con-
gress to approve the so-called NC
Murray contracts" for the sale of In
dian lands. Adams said he had. how
ever, an interest in the contracts,
having been employed by McMurray.
He testified that Carter was mis-
taken" about the conversation.

PRESIDENT NOT
SURE ON TARIFF
Message Dealing With This
May Be Sent to Congress
Later

Washington, Nov. 26.-President
Taft was reported today as not finally
having made up his mind with regard
to the tariff features of his forthcom-
ing message to congress. He had a
long conference with Chairman H. C.
Emery of the tariff board and talked
also with delegation from the Ma
tional Tariff Commission association.
There is pretty general impression
in Washington that the president will
be unable to recommend the revision
Of any particular schedule of the
tariff in his regular message. He
probably will indicate that the tariff
board is not yet ready to submit a
detailed report on any one of the
schedules, and until the board is able
to submit data upon which an alb
solutely scientific revision can be
made, the president will recommend
that any action whatsoever on the
tariff shall be deferred. The board
may be in q position soon to report
the detailed facts concerning some
one schedule. Just as soon as he is
made aware Of this, there is every
likelihood that the president will
send a special message to congress
embodying the report.

DOCTOR HYDE'S
CYANIDE STORY
Montana Man Says He Sent It
to the Kansas City
Physician

Kansas City, Nov. 26-Will a letter
received the other day by DR.. Bennett
Clarke Hyde, convicted of the murder
of Col. Thomas H. Swope, serve to
clear up one of the mysteries of his
trial? When DR.. Hyde was asked on
the witness stand where he got cy-
anide, the possession of which he
tried to explain by saying that he
used it for experiments and to kill
cockroaches, the only answer he gave
was that he had bought it at various
drug stores.
Name some of the drug stores" :"
the lawyers for the prosecution per-
sisted relentlessly.
81 don't remember them" DR.. HYDE
replied.
The letter that throws light on the
case was written by John Edgerton,
who saw DR.. Hyde's name in the
catalogue of college fraternity to
which Edgerton belonged.
The Letter to Hyde.
The letter follows:
Helena, Mont, Oct. 17.-Dr. B. C..
Hyde, Kansas City, Mo.-Dear Doctor:
In spite of the dread Of the publicity
my present action may bring me,
will no longer withhold any help
may be to you in your distress. l
find the following as part of an As
sociated Press dispatch in which
Juror Crone said in. an interview aft
er the verdict:
Doctor Hyde was his own worst
enemy in the trial. His own testi-
mony convicted him. When Doctor
Hyde said he had bought cyanide for
ten years and yet could not remember
where he bought it, he damned him
self as witness. If he had not testi-
fled as he did think he would not be
in his present condition. At first I
believed Hyde innocent, and until
Sunday night l voted to acquit him.
Then I recalled his testimony about
his cyanide purchase and l decided
he was guilty. told Mr. Johnson
had changed my vote and l talked
with him about my decision
you may remember that you were
on a we'll filled Santa Fe train one
afternoon late in March or early in
April, 1898, having boarded it at Ot-
tawa or Garnett, and rode in the seat
with ME into Kansas City. 1 was on
my way from Cherryvale, kas., to
Galesburg, Ill. At that time and for
some months previously l was suf-
fering from multiple neuritis and a
general nervous breakdown and was
almost helpless. At that time, as a
medical student you took considerable
interest in my condition and what
told you Of my work as cause. had
broken down from overwork and my
trouble may have been exaggerated by
handling and getting mercury in
amalgamation and retorting from the
daily use of potassium cyanide In
dressing the plates, or from being
poisoned by chloride of tin accidental
ly swallowed about month before
my breakdown.
"In our casual and ordinary CONVEX
sation you were especially interested
in my former use of cyanide and as it
had many things about 1t had stu
