SIX SENATOR'S VOTES
 OFFERED, $500 EACH
President sf New York Life Ac-
 Cuses Lobbyist.

Darwin F. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance compa- ny, testifying at the insurance inquiry conducted by State Superintendent Hotchkiss in New York on Tuesday, said that in 1906, while he was in Al bany trying to get through an amend ment to the Armstrong law, William H. Buckley, insurance lobbyist and former deputy superintendent of in- surande, came to him and proposed to deliver" the votes of six senators for the sum of $3,000, each of the six sen ators to get $500 apiece for their votes.
 He objected to buying votes, and Buckley said:
 Did you come up here to run q Sunday school? This is Albany. Have you considered what 1t will cost your company to make these lists and the damage it will do by having these names exposed and your business loot ed all over the world? I can stop it. For $3,O0O can deliver you six votes."'
 q told him I would not pay him a - cent"
 The amendment was one changing the Armstrong law so that the litera- ture of an opposition to the regular management of an insurance company should be mailed through the home of flee, thus doing away with the neces- sity of making public the names and addresses of policy holders. It was supported by all the big life insur- ance companies.
 It was after the amendmennt had passed the senate, according to MT Kingsley, that Buckley demanded the money, declaring that unless this was done the vote would be rescinded next day in the senate. The next day the amendment was killed, as Buckley had predicted.

THE TAX QUESTION.

Since the reckless corporation paid
press bureau ard candidates have
misled the people Of the state with
talk about state taxes let us give you
some cold figures from the official
records. The table below shows the
taxes Of several of the old Oklahoma
Territory counties for the last three
yeS-s Of territorial government and
for ihe first two years and seven and
a half months Of state government
Study these figures carefuily-they
are carefully taken from the official
records--and when you are consid-
ering these figures remember the fol-
lowing facts:
The amount OF taxes stated in the
FIRST three years is what each one
Of these counties contributed to the
cost OF Oklahoma Territorial govern
ment in thirty-six months. and the
amounts shown for the next two yea 8
are what the taxpayers of these
same counties contributed as their
share Of the expense Of state govern
ment for thirty-one and half months.
Remember Oklahoma Territory on
~ had one-third the population that
Oklahoma state has now.
Remember that the United States
government paid good share Of the
expense of Oklahoma Territory gov
ernment.
Also note carefully the proportion
OF the total taxes paid by the cor
porations under Territorial govern
ment, and also note carefully the pro
portion Of the taxes that the corpora
tions paid under state government
Read these figures carefully and
then hand them to Joseph McNeal Or
Governor Ferguson when they speak
In your neighborhood and challenge
them to deny single figure.

Reader, you will first understand
that the first two years OF state gov
ernment included the fraction Of seven
and half months of the previous
year, so that while there were only
two annual tax collections under
statehood and we have given three
annual tax collections under Terri
torial government the time for which
said expenses had to be paid was thir-
ty-one and half months as compared
with thirty-six months under Terri
toriaI government. You will notice
that these six counties for the last
thirty-six months OF Territorial gov
ernment paid total Of four hundred
and thirty thousand two hundred and
sixteen dollars and nave an average
expense of Territorial government Of
eleven thousand nine. hundred dollars
per month, while same counties con-
tributed to the first thirty-one and a
half months of state government, an
average of only ninety-seven hundred
dollars per month.
How does this strike the corporation
knockers club who are yelling state
extravaganza?
Remember that the United States
government, which paid a part of the
expenses of Oklahoma Territory gov
ernment, does not pay single cent Of
the expenses Of state government.
Also remember that OF the amount
Of taxes which we have stated above
from all these counties for the year
1909, that only eighty thousand four
hundred dollars was for the expense
Of state government in fact and that
seventy thousand one hundred dollars
was the one-fourth mill levied for aid
to common schools, and twenty thou
sand one hundred dollars was for the
public building fund to help build GER
tain public buildings. and that eighty
thousand four hundred dollars was
to make up the deficiency due to the
fact that the United States courts tenn
porarily tied up the corporation spec
ia1 privilege and franchise taxes by in.

the expense Of state government for

eral counties as follows:
Logan county ................ 1871
Cleveland county .......... 1892
Pottawatomie county ..... 1878
Kingfsher county ......... 1882
Lincoln county ............... l2,4OO
And yet, reader, you can see that
even with these additional amounts,
counted as state expenses in the year
1909, Oklahoma state government
would be so much cheaper on the tax
payers than Oklahoma Territory gov
ernment that the corporation knock
