State Engineer John H. Lewis is
now starting to attempt to place the
project under the arm Of the reclaim

authorities a chance to develop it
through their priority claims against
subsequent, small filings, which, If
they become valid, will work to defeat
any comprehensive development.
The Owydee is situated in Malheur
county and includes nearly 10000
acres. The Owyhee and Malheur pro-
jects were begun prior to the act ad-
vancing $2O,oOO,OOO to supplement the
reclamation fund. approved June 25,

terprise fails to begin construction in
the near future, and the government
fails to protect its advantageous po-
sition as to water filings, the project
may be so complicated by smaller
subsequent filings as to defeat any
comprehensive development.

oreaonIan Comment.


The Oregonian comments gain on
the scneme in its issue of June %:
"a tenth scheme for county divis-
ion appeared for initiative enactment
next November-annexation of piece
of Washington county to Multnomah.
These county questions are proper
subjects for legislative attention where
they can be studied ON their merits
and be amended and adjusted to suit
local needs. The great trouble with
the initiative measures is that each
and all of them emanate from a spec.
ial interest. No element should ever
be allowed to frame laws regardless
of other elements of the population.
Yet that is what they undertake to do
when they refuse to take their bills
before the legislature and insist on
enacting them by the direct method.
Lawmaking is one Of the oldest OF
the affairs of men and ages of exper-
ience have proved the superiority OF
legislation by delegates instead of by
the mass. Delegated, representative
government is the most triumphant
lesson OF history"

SAYS vINlTA IS TOWN WITH A
REMARKABLE FUTURE.
COMPLETE TOUR OIL STATE
After Thorough inspection of Various
Parts Of state Soil Here is
Pronounced Best.

A new Vinita booster made himself
known this morning in the person Of
+. M. Dyer Of PlatteviIle, Wis. Mr..
Dyer has just completed a tour of the
state lasting since last December, and
is OF the opinion that vinita is town
with remarkable future and a town
located in what is undoubtedly the
richest agricultural portion of the
state.
Mr.. Dyer was attracted to y1nita by
the words of praise from Mr.. and Mrs
James s. Davenport. during Mr.. Day-
enport's term as congressman from
Oklahoma. Mr.. Dyer said he had the
pleasure of boarding at the same place
as did Mr. and Mrs. Davenport in
Washington, and often had heard Of
the wonderful section Of country
around Vinita, and SO decided to visit
this place. He said he had curiosity
to know whether the words of praise
were simply the result of the natural
love of ones native country or were
really true He says that he is now
that the country Is even
greater than the congressman had
old him. "Vinita," he said. eof all Of
he towns have visited looks the best
md most substantial to me-"
Mr.. Dyer is somewhat of q soil ex-
'ert and has made pretty thorough
est Of the soils in various parts Of
ne state In December he went Ia
iuthrie and after looking over Logan
county went to Chandler for an in
pection OF Lincoln county. From
handler Mr.. Dyer went to Enid and
N to the Beaver county country. Lat
7 ne visited Lawton, Chickasha and
ther points in southwestern OKlaho-
a. From Lawton Mr.. Dyer went to
little Rock, Ark, and up the white
iyer and to Joplin, Mo-, coming from
here here.
After making this tour Mr.. Dyer
avs ne is convinced that the soil here
far more adapted to agriculture
han the other portions Of the state.
or the reason that there is little hard
an beneath the soil. which is deeper
han It is in western Oklahoma. and
le soil is better adapted to holding
loisture than on the vest side.

DENUNC|AT|ON Of
CLIFFORD P|NCHOT
President of Many Public Service
Corporations Calls Popular Re-
sentiment Futile.

st. Louis, April 22-In an address
before the league of electrical inter-
ests last night, Henry L. Dougherty of
New York, president of nineteen of
the greatest public service corpora
tions in the United States in New
York, Denver. Philadelphia and other
cities, bitterly attacked Clifford Pin
chot as the man who has done more
to prevent development of water pow
er than any other, and a man who
has been guilty of frequent and dis
astrous mistakes.
''If Pinchot did not directly in
augurate many statements which were
unture, he at least, by reiterating
these sensational statements, manag-
ed to stir up almost universal anger
on the part of the American people
and resentment toward the various in
terests accused by him." he said.
Dougherty denounced the popular
craze for attacking all quasi-public
corporations as unjust and futile.
I'VE are living in an atmosphere
which might be termed the tyranny
Of intolerant public opinion. The one
great obstacle to our needed reforms
Is the modern reformer. Our ills are
ike human ills. and need the art of
skilled physician and not the art of
| pugilist
In the minds Of many people the
'nly true badge Of responsibility is I
poverty and possession Of a compet- (
'ncy is conclusive evidence of crime. |
Both competition and municipal I
may be looked upon today

Much Of the high cost of living

sTocKMEN AND OTHERS INTER.
EsTED TO MEET THURSDAY.
PLAN TO CELEBRATE FOURTH
Commercial Club Begins Movement to
Keep Things Busy Here-want
Location For Large Factory.

Contrary to expectations the repre.
sentative Of the proposed railroad
from Caney, Kans., to Sloan Springs.
Ark, did not attend the Commercial
Club meeting last night. When inyit-
ed to do so he informed President Wal
len that his company was not ready
as yet to make this city proposition
relative to building this road to Vinita
He said however that a little later
this road would submit a proposition
and would expect immediate action. as
the road is now under construction
from Caney southeast.
A letter from an automobile MANN
featuring company desiring western
location was read, and discussed at
some length. This company would en-
ploy about 1000 men and will be the
largest of its kind west OF the Missis-
sippi river Those who have investi-
gated stated that the demands of the
company were not known. It is said
the plant would require about fifteen
acres. The club will quietly investi-
gate the possibility of securing the To-
cation Of this plant In Vinita.
The proposition that aroused more
interest than anything discussed at
the meeting last night, was the cues
ton Of whether or not Vinita will have
Fourth of July celebration. A letter
from Mr.. Monroe, who had charge of
the celebration last year was read, and
the club voted unanimously to not
consider his offer for this year. A
committee. consisting of John Wise,
S. R. Frazee and A. G. Marrs, was ap-
pointed to investigate and formulate a
plan of holding big celebration. Itl
was the unanimous sense of those
present that Vinita should have the
biggest celebration in her history.
The discussion Of the Fourth of July t
celebration led to the discussion of
the question of holding county fair
here next fall 1t was decided to ask
all of the stoekmen, who are. interest
ed to attend the meeting next Thurs
day night and give their views toward K

COMPANIES MUST
PAY STATE TAXES
Judge cotteraI in Federal Court For
Western District DIssoIves In
junction in Favor Of State.

Guthrie. Okla, April 22.--The suits
brought by the Western Union Tele
graph company and the Pullman com
pany, involving 1908 taxes amounting
to over $4,000, were decided yester.
day by Judge John H. Cotteral in the
federal court of the western district of
Oklahoma in favor of the state. The
court dissolved the temporary injunc.
tions granted in both cases against
the collection of these taxes, and the
levy can now be collected unless the
companies go to higher court.
In the case of the Western Union
VS.. Trapp, state auditor, the court
holds that the contention of the COM
pany, that the assessment was made
by the state board of assessors instead
of the state board of equalization. in.
validating the assessment, that the
Legislation vests both the powers of
assessment and equalization in the
board and the legislative act creating
the board Of assessors did not effect
ively separate these powers. In de-
Gliding the contention that there was
lack Of notice the court holds that
the general revenue act itself consti-
tuted sufficient notice.
AS to the action of the board in null
tiplying the returns of the company,
which amounted to $685., ,554.10, by
three, raising the value to ST ,144. .662 80
the court holds that the returns were
made only upon the tangible value Of
the property, while the constitution
gives the board the right to assess
also rights, privileges and franchises
and that there is no evidence to show
that other than the tangible and fran
chise values Of the property were con
sidered in making the assessment.
The court dismisses the contention
that the assessment of the company |
was unequal, in that private property |
valuations were reduced % per cent
by holding that the reduction was
systematic and equally distributed as
p the various classes, and there is
10 evidence to show that the board
,urposely undervalued other property.
The court holds. as to the contention
hat the property Of the Western
Union company was not equalized with
hat Of private persons, that the con
titution and laws of the state do not
equire that all property must be L
'qualized together or by the same I
card. u
The holdings in the Pullman cases
re identical with those Of the West s
m Union. with the additional holding 1
hat the Pullman property was assess I
q after August |, the date set in the /
eneral revenue act for hearing on 9
lis assessment SO that the objections $
gainst the regularity Of the assess
lent could not lie on the ground that
lere was no notice or that it was not f
aSe by the board of equalization.
The Pullman property was assessed j
s640,O00 or at the rate Of $40 900 a z
r, which was three times the returns a
ade By the company. "
