SOME QUEER THINGS
 ABOUT WHEELS

The wheel that turns under the
 locomotive or the car has long and queer history" says writer in the
 Railroad Mems Magazine. but the
 mystery is still with us, and hurls it's question marks before our eyes every minute of the day.
 of course. every one believes that
 the edge of the wheel goes around the axle. But does it? Take the end
 of any spoke near the tire or any part ! of the tire. and on a still. windless night fastcn a candle to it: then back off till nothing can be seen but that
 candle flame.
 "ket the wheel revolve slowly. free from the ground. The candle flame
 makes circle of fire all right. and goes around the axle. Now lower the candle until it rests on the ground and start ahead The flame suddenly stops going in circle and begins -o
 make wavy lines. first high and then low. It goes around nothing at all Men with clear minds can perform the experiment satisfactorily by tying d handkerchief around the tire in day ! light, but tO do this takes a keen mathematical imagination. because the | eye Is confused by other moving ob- Jects and is not able to see the hand kerchief free from these other mflu- ences
 At night the candle flame alone can be seen, so that is perhaps the best time to try the experiment out. Tie torch to a locomotive driver and then send the engine slowly back anl forth while the observer is off some hundred feet distant in the dark The torch does not move in a circle. Now We will say that a man has just performed this experiment. He has seen with his own eyes that the torch does not go around anything at all. but that it simply goes ahead some what like flying machine, rising and falling in the wind. coming to a dead stop at its lowest point and going twice as fast as the engine when at its highest point. Well and good.
 Without touching anything on the first engine, just board d second Du- zine and ride back and forth and watch that torch or candle flame This time il goes around the aNlc. Leave the second engine and stand still pu the ground, and the flame at once begins the wayy lines Why is it. No one knows
 The fact that the bottom of an en- zine wheel always stands still is more easy to learn than the fact that the top of the wheel moves just twice as fast as the train, but this can be proved easily with piece of board.
 Take a piece of board. say, ten feet long. and lay one end on top ,f the wheel Now move the engine for ward two feet. and you will find that the board has gone ahead four feet just twice as far as the engine Lay down the board and tie two pieces oi string to the wheel, one at the top and the other at the bottom. where 1t rests on the ground. Now run your engine forward two feet and see what happens. The bottom string has moved forward, too, but not nearly so far as has the top piece of string. al-

Equal and exact justice to all men
and special privileges to none are
among the cardinal doctrines OF the
democratic party, whether flushed
with success or in the throes OF ad-
versity. These principles were quar-
ried BY the revolutionary fathers
from the mountains of eternal truth
and are the basic stones upon which
our government faOr,c rests. For
almost two decades the government
of the United States has been in the
hands of those who do not believe
in democratic principles, and the re-
suit is that predatory interests have
placed upon the statute books Of
the nation. laws that permit the vio-
lation OF every cardinal doctrine OF
democracy. and is paralyzing our in

states have pursued a parSimonious

The Standard Oil Company fixes
the price of crude oil and pays for
crude oil in Oklahoma about one
cent per gallon. The same com
pany fixes the price of refined oil
and charges for refined oil about
eleven cents per gallon. Oklahoma
produ3es about 50,OOO,000 barrels
of crude oil annually. TO sell this
product at one cent per gallon and
purchase back the refined product
at eleven cents per gallon is a los
ing transaction and the outrageous
unfairness and injustice OF such a
transaction is apparent when it is
known that the cost Of refining the
crude product is only about one-half
cent per gallon Under our protect,

One of the biggest things confront
ing the democratic party in Oklahoma
at the present juncture, is excessive
taxation. We use the term excessive
advisedly because when a ma ngives
in his property at its full value as he
is required to do under the law, and
the state board raises him fifty per
cent. it is clear that he is being taxed
on property that he does not own.
For instance, a man owns farm val
ued at $4,000. He is first assessed at
it's full value. Then the state board
raised him to $4,000 and he must pay
taxes on$3, 900 worth of property he
does not own. At the present tax rate
the difference is much less than law
yers fee, and, while he pays it, he
feels that he is being "stung. '-Ninita
