In every class of public service, the
legislature should carefully amend the
Law SO as to limit the payment of sal
aries only to officers actually required
for the public good and at rates OF
compensation such as the same class
OF efficient service would receive in
private business or occupation.
The question may be asked Why this
subject could not be deferred for the
consideration OF the regular session Of
the legislature one year hence. In
answering this, ! desire to say that !
am advised by able legal authority
that under our state constitution the
salary of an officer cannot be decreas
ed or diminished during the term 10
which he has been elected. If the law
is not amended before the general
election next November. 1t could not
be made operative for three years and
therefore. II the people of Oklahoma
are to have the benefit that will accrue
TO them from reasonable amend
ment OF the present fee and salary
law, II must be done prior TO the next
election. Ii will easily be ascertalHed
that many times the cost Of a short
session of the legislature at this time
can be saved without doing injustice
to those who serve the public in Of
ficial capacity. If the Legislature
shall make such amendment at this
time, those elected to office next No

taxation In excess OF the actual neces-
sity of the distrc,. township, city,
county, or state for the necessities
thereof, administered with rigid
economy and that public convenience
requires privilege OF half yearly pay
ments.
In making the constitution of Okla
homa, knowing that most new states
of the last forty years had gone bank
rupt by reckless taxation, the Con
yention departed from the usual
custom in writing state constitutions,
and inserted maximum tax limits be-
yond which the taxing authorities OF
the state and its subdivisions could
net legally go, but II was not con-
tempated that the tax le"ies would
reach the maximums except In rare
cases of necessity. But after two
years find the disposition to levy tbs
limit In many cases.
therefore urge that the Legislature
should reduce TO lower maximum
limits. so far as the power of the tax
ing boards may be exercised without a
vote of tie people of the district af-
fected " any levy. and ! earnestly
recommend to the Legislature that
every maximum limitation be sub
stantially reduced, that necessities only
may be provided for, and ] further
recommend that the voting of bonded

or municipality shall be placed under
legislative provision so far as possible
requiring greater consideration by thn
peoD.e. and a better opportunity for
( the neople to express their wishes be

ized
We must not forget that bond
issue upon district, a county or a
city. or the state, is In effect mort
gage upon all the property within such
area. and must in time be paid by the
tax payers thereof. 1t is Tar better
that Oklahoma shall turn its energies
and its earnings into creating peace
and plenty than it Is to rush madly into
schemes and enterprises and unneces'
sary public improvements. which may
well be deferred for years 10 come.
! | believe also that the present prac-
tice of yaluing real estate every year
for the purpose OF fixing It's taxapt
value Is an extraordinary and needless
EXPENSE, and | therefore recommend
that when the valuation is placed upon

may have reached that amount where
direct taxes for the maintenance Of
state government could be wholly
avoided. The first year of statehood
one and one.fourth mills was levied
for the maintenance of state govern
ment. This current year levy OF
about one mill was made for the cur
rent expenses OF state government, but
it was found necessary by reason of an
act OF our last legislature, to add one
fourth OF one mill TO the state levy foa
distribution to aid in supporting the
common schools of the state and an
additional amount, equal to about one
fourth OF one mill was added to the
state tax levy TO pay for the building
of certain permanent public institll-
tions, and due TO the fact that certain
corporations and industries, against
the earnings and productions of which
certain excise, gross production and
income taxes have been levied for state
purposes. and which corporations and
industries had, by temporary injunc-
tion granted by the Federal Courts,
avoided, at least TO. the time being,
the payment of these state revenues

such time as the Federal Courts might
render decision in these cases favor.
able TO the state. to increase the state
tax levy about one mill and thus the
sum total OF the state tax levy for the
current year was made two and one

LEGISLATION can be enacted that viii
increase the revenues of the state from
sources other than direct taxation and
without oppression or injustice to the
sources from which these added rev
enues may be obtained. so that no levy
for state purposes will hereafter be
required and to this end specific

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Should Girl Become Engaged Without
Telling Her Father and Mother?
BY Barba ra Boyd.

Tae girl who doesn't want TO tell
her father and mother OF her engage
ment usually has some unworthy
reason for, doing 50. She shouldn't
dodge this fact, but face IT squarely
and see what il means and what it
may lead TO.
Some girls do not want to tell
their parents immediately of their
engagement, as they want to treas
ure the sweet secret for just little
while with no one else knowing ii
but the man they love. But they
intend eventually 10 tell them They
ace not concealing II from any un-
worthy motive. This little holding of
the precious secret for brief time
does no harm.
But the girl who becomes engaged
to a man without her parents
knowledge and continues The engage
ment for months Is doing them an in
justice and herself wrong
In the first place, the man who asks
her 10 conceal the engagement is not
taking a manly attitude unless there

honor, 10 put 1t mildly. He Is either
unworthy and knows it, or he wants
to leave the road open for a retreat
from the promise. should he SO de-

know OF his conduct. He counts on
her pride preventing her from be-
traying him.

TO their loving hearts which cuts
deeply.
Even II she knows they will not
approve. 1t is still their due that they
be told of it. They may have rea-
sons for their disapproval which the
actual fact Of an engagement will
bring out so strongly that many
years OF unhappiness may be saved

should tell them. II they make

man she loves is always ready to

The only excuse a girl should adj

her parents Is the desire to treasure
for a little while the secret wly,h
only one other shares. No other rea-
son Is good enough to withhold so
important a step from parents

HOSPITABLE MAN.
The Fight Against Tuberculosis.

The Fight Against tuberculosis.
Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1853 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hosp =
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-,
yious IL months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 3S6 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

and through the railroad, army and
navy branches-and it's fine policy in
following the armies in all recent
wars, have created for it worldwide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet of

their way by working with men more
than by talking to them, saying:

LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

about seven years ago small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
Just above my ankle. It irritated me
so that 1 began to scratch it and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence Of company,
I would have to scratch it until had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l simply cannot describe my suffer
ing. during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indescrib-
able on paper and one has to expe-
rience it to know what it is.
81 tried all kinds of doctors and rem
edies but I might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. 1 had given up
hope of ever being cured when l was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day was born. Now after a lapse Of
six months with no signs of a recur-
renee 1 feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. / shall always recommend

ROCKY BOY INDIAN LANDS

This land was withdrawn about two
years ago for the purpose Of allotting
to the Rocky Boy Indians The tract
contains the very choicest lands in
Valley County and wherever farming
has been carried on, it has produced
yields OF from 20 to 80 bushels Of
wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels Of
oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa
and vegetables. r
There are over 5000 :160-acre home
