GOVERNOR
SUBMITS
NEW IDEAS
FOUR BILLS RELATING
TO REVENUE AND
TAXATION
TO TAX RAILROADS
ON GROSS RECEIPTS
Power Of leVylng County Taxes
to Be Placed With Excise Board
Appointed By District Judge

The joint revenue and taxation
committee of the house and senate
met with Governor Haskell las. nigh
and the governor submitted to then
the four revenue bills which he will
suggest. Three OF the bills contain
ideas entirely new and probably will
rank in importance with any revenue
measures ever considered In Okla
homa. These are the railroad tax
bill, the corporation fee tax bill and
the excise board bill. The fourth
bill is the gross revenue law remod
eled and amended.
Under the railroad tax bill the rail
roads OF the state will be exempt from
an ad valorem tax and will be taxed
on their gross receipts, and the rates
of taxation on the railroads will
scale according to the difference be-
tween their gross receipts and their
operating expe ses, the railroad pay.
ing the highest tax being the one
with the smallest percentage of oper.
ating expenses as compared with the
gross receipts. As is the Oklahoma
mileage TO the total mileage OF the
system, So will be the Oklahoma pro.
portion estimated on the total re.
celpts of The system, and the counties
Will be similarly appQrtloned, each
county taking as It's gross receipts n
proportion Of the entire receipts of
the state as the mileage of the rail-
road in that county Is proportioned
to the entire mileage in the state.
Excise Board New Idea.
The excise board bill Is said TO be
an entirely new idea. and proposes to
put the counties on the same basis
as the stale as regards the levying
OF taxes and the disbursement there
of. The bill proposes TO take the
power OF levying taxes from the
county commissioners and place Il
in an excise board. which shall be
elected or appointed by the district
Judge and which shall have the sole
power for levying taxes In the county
and passing on the levy of townships
and districts. The bill proposes that
the excise board shall meet ten DAYS
each year and shall receive $5 per
day for. their services The purpose
of this bill so it Is understood. Is to
prevent The temptation that comes to
county commissioners, under the
present system. OF carelessly spend
ing money and carelessly levying ad
dltional taxes for more expenditures
The corporation fee tax bill is a
measure simply constructed and
probably will provide that all corpor
ations except those paying gross
revenue tax shall, in addition to
their ad yalorem taxes, pay a special
and additional tax of probably 50
cents per $1,000 Of their capitalization
each year
II is understood that these bills arc
offered the revenue and taxation
committee as a foundation on which
10 begin work and II is probable that
thew viii come out Of the committee
somewhat different, though as q rule
A measure which Governor Haskell
assists in framing goes through with
little changing.

RAMBLES ABOUT LONDON.
BY G. Lewis Fowler

This Easter eve finds us cozily sit
uated at Tranters Temperance Hotel
in the heart Of busy London. Since
we arrived we have been rambling in
and about London, seeing the sights
and trying In some way to get our
fingers upon the pulse of English life.
Many new observations have been
made. Five weeks we spent here be-
fore. Like most travellers we thought
we knew as much about England in
that time as the English people them
selves. How sadly mistaken. No man
can interpret the underlying princi-
pies of any community life until he
has lived there long time, even then
he may be deceived
But there are some things which one
can see and understand fairly we'll
England today is not the England of
yesterday. We are this morning i'm
the heart of new London. Great
changes have been made and are vet
to be made. England, like all Europ-
can and oriental countries. is under
going marvellous social and religious
changes.
Political.
Fortunately we have struck London
in the midst Of n great political war
fare. The situation is tense, and the
various parties are at each others

shippers. Parade held the Latin hears
for years but the Anglo-saxon de-
mands reason.
Ritualism rs Against Freedom.
The reason for this is not far to
hunt. While the State church is en-
deavoring to dazzle the eyes OF the
people by her beautiful ritualistic SER
vices and by her parade and pomb, and
to appeal only to the senses, the dis
senting churches are making powerful
and unmistakable appeals to the con-
science and intelligence. Their ap-
peal is not fruitless, they are succeed
ing. Tie largest church in London, a
Baptist church, Surgeons Taber-
nacle, is packed to the doors at every
service. The same can be said OF
many other free churches-they are
crowded.
, Easter Festivities.
Probably the hardest thing for us
to understand is the way London eel
! ebrates Easter. Good Friday here is
more genuinely holiday than Christ
mas is with us. Services were held In
all churches yesterday. and this en-
| tire city was still so far as business
was concerned, Tor every shop was
closed. The same will be true or

sion, instead of producing Joy, has
put England into mourning. Especial

the words of our Master. Jesus every

the Roman Catholic church has done

Valuable New Discovery of Glass for
Eye-GlasS Lenses.

Eye-GlaSS Lenses.
II it were not for artificial eye aid,
the eye-glass, the telescope, the COM
bination Of different lenses, scientists
and the world in general would today
be laboring in the darkness of the
sixteenth century. Formerly lenses
were made from pebble, and 1t was
found by Finsen, "the father OF
light" that this was the only sub
stance which would transmit his new
ly discovered health rays. From the
time of this discovery, it has been the
dream of scientist to produce an arti-
fetal lens substance that would ap-
proxfmate natures product In its
transmissive powers of these health
rays of light. All could see the value
of such a discovery in its adaptability
for eye-glass and spectacle lenses es-
pecially, as the lenses now in use
absorb practically all of these health
giving rays so that but few of them
reach the eye. 1t has been demon
strated that the new Health-Ray Lens
recently announced has the property
of transmitting all these health rays
and all elements of light in their ma
tural proportions as found in sun
light.
Howard Thomas, the local optome-
trist, has secured the agency for these
new lenses, and will gladly demon
strate their superiority to anyone
who may be interested. $50
