A Street Railway Graft.

Some one has discovered that the
Oklahoma City capital scheme is a
street railway graft in addition to be-
ing a real estate graft, And the just
ification for the charge is given as
follows: Oklahoma City admits that
the capital grounds. are TO be not less
than five miles from the city AS a
matter of fact the grounds are well
known If Oklahoma City gets the
capital; the grounds are a part ot
the deal
That means that every man, woman
and child going to the state capital
would be compelled to pay tribute to
the street car system of Oklahoma
City for the street car system of Ok
lahoma City owns that town. The
man having business at the state cap
ital after arriving at Oklahoma City
would not be at his journeys end:

DEMOCRACY AND TAXATION

The Republican yellow journals and
Republican agitasors are working
overtime in their attempts to preju-
dice the people against the Democ-
racy. no.
+ They are raising great howl about
taxes. lisiitt INf
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.-call his
attention to the heavy local improve
ments; tell him that Of all his tax he
is paying, only t-2 mills is for state
purposes or, $3.50 on the $1,000 valua-
ton.
Explain to him that IA mill of this
state tax Is for common schools, ID
for public buildings (reformatory at
Granite. Wilburton school Of mines,
Fl. Supply insane asylum and prepar-
atory 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 o.her state purposes.
II we succeed in winning out
against the corporations in the Fed
eraI 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 II the relns 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 Crow law. and
have rendered the railroads all pos
sible assistance In fighting for the
