TRADE OF PERSIA WITH THE
U. S. AND OTHER COUNTRII S

Persa's trade with the United States
lin the fiscal year 1911, according to
the official reports of the bureau of
statistics, department of commerce and
labor, amounted to sIO77 5O2, of which
imports from Persia were $3.50, sos
and exports to Persia. s21.S99 These
figures of imports, while small in COM
parison with those from other coun-
tries of similar population and size, are
much larger than in any earlier year.
In 1909 imports from Persia amounted
TO $3.50 900; in 1910, 100000; and in
1911. as above stated, over one million
dollars. Practically the entire imports
from Persia consist of wool carpets
and carpet wool OF the total imports
therefrom valued at s1,055,603, rugs
and carpets aggregated s944,561, and
wool suitable for the manufacture of
carpets, sS2.624. Various manufae-
lures of iron and steel supply most of
the relatively small exports to Persia
from the United States.
Trade with the United States, how
ever. forms a very small proportion
of Persia's commerce. Official reports
of the Persian government covering
her fiscal year 19O9-10, the latest per-
iod for which the statistics are avail
able, show that of the 422 million
krans tor approximately 40 million

MEASURE
A CAMPAIGN MOVE
Both Houses Of Congress viii Adjourn
Thursday Until After the
Holidays.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. Is.-Both
houses viii adjourn next Thursday un-
I'll after the holidays.
The Sherwood so-called dollar-a-day
pension bill, which the house has pass
ed, probably win not find an easy way
in the senate. Senator Gore of Okla
homa, a leading democratic member
of the pension committee, already has
started a ninquiry into the possibility
of passing action until the next session
when there will be no presidential
election. In the house the effect upon
either party of marked liberality to
the Mexican and civil war veterans, ag-
gregating possibly SIS. 900, 900 ultimate
ly, was a conspicuous factor and Sen
ator Gore contends that the subject
viii not be so popular in congress after
the presidential election.
Senator NJ. Culberson, while not
committing himself to the Sherwood
bill Sunday, expressed the opinion that
some general pension legislation would
be enacted during this session Of con
gress.
He believes congressional action
should depend on the state of the
treasury and has taken steps to ascer-
tain that and to determine what var
ious plans of legislation might cost.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher is in
lvestigating the cost.
The house democrats will caucus on
number of pending questions, prob
ably soon after the recess. The lead
ers contend that the economy pro-
gram must be maintained, that some
of the demands of committees and
democratic members for appropriations
must be refused, but in such way as
Ito avoid party dissension
The pension bill, already passed by
the mouse, carrying from $40,000,O00 TO
ISIS 900, ,O00 the demand of the public
buildings committee for an amnibus
measure to carry between s25,000, 900
and $50 600 900 and other large drafts
on the treasury have complicated the
situation. Democratic Leader Under
wood insists that the public building
bill shall not be put through. The
work of the investigating committees
also is piling up expense.
The tariff boards report is expected
from the president this week, but the
ways and means committee probably
/ will not recommend action on the wool
or other schedules until after the re-
cess, but then will proceed vigorously.
The democrats were not agreed last
summer as to the raw wool tariff. many
favoring free raw wool. This question
trust legislation and other things, will
be considered in caucus. The plan to
open the caucus to the public has had
strenuous opposition from those demo
Gratis who believe party differences
should be settled behind closed doors.
Mr. Lorimer will appear before the
Investigating committee this week and
the committee will then adjourn to
meet after the Christmas recess. Sen
ator Lorimer will testify under oath
for the first time

the house and the committee on inter
stete commerce which is investigating

Raw cotton heads the list of Persia's

1909-10 of 20 million krans. The next
largest items in that year were fruits,
SO million; woolen carpets, As million;

The per capital commerce of Persia
based upon an estimated population of
915 millions, is comparatively small,
being in 1909-10 less than So. compared
with a per capita commerce of $38 for
the United States, $50 for France, s55
for Germany, and s110 for the United
Kingdom This relatively small for
eign commerce of Persia is largely due
to the fact that that empire is lacking
in adequate means of transportation
and communication. Wheat, barley,
rice, fruits, silk, wool, cotton, gums
and other staples are produced in
great quantities, and lead, copper and
other mineral deposits abound. but
good roads and railways are few, thus
seriously handicapping transport to
points of distribution. The latest re-
ports show less than 100 miles of rail-
way in all Persia AS late as 1903 but
81 miles of carriageable roads had
been built, though progress has been
made since that time. Telegraphs in
clude 6,912 miles of line and 1874
miles of wire, connecting 131 stations.
Teheran, the principal city, has pop
ulation of $4,000; Tabriz. 100000; and
Ispahan, $4,000. Less than 1900 Eu-
ropeans reside within the empire.

Tax Law Upheld.
or the total amount of gross receipts
of taxes collected, $44,31S.60 was re-
ceived from corporations doing busi-
ness in Oklahoma, and s1,61603 from
corporations doing business both in
Oklahoma and other states. The lat
ter class of corporations filed suits in
federal courts to test the validity of the
tax as applied to corporations engaged
in interstate commerce. As a result
of the action of the supreme court in
upholding the validity of the gross re
ceipts tax law $4,O26.55 in back taxes
and penalties have been collected.
The largest revenue to the state
from the gross production tax arose
from oil and gas companies. The total
number of barrels of oil produced dur
ing the year including some that was
turned in from the production of the
previous year was 53607257 with a
total taxable value under the gross
production Law Of $19,751,655.96 The
amount of tax due on this was St0l.-

The state collects gross production
taxes during the year upon total gas
production of 45.7S3. 4S5,OOO cubic feet,
with a taxable value of s915,OOo. The
total tax collected on production of oil

amount collected $S,S4S.05, the balance
uncollected being due to litigation filed
By some of the coal companies ques-
tioning the legality Of the tax.
Only 6.071 tons of asphalt We're re-

Ten Yoke Oxen Drowned

During the heavy rains about the soth of September which were accompanied by floods, the mining company on Pahreah creek lost ten yoke of oxen and big load of freight which the flood caught. This is not the first out fit to get caught and lost in this canyon. The road goes right down the creek bed and there is no chance to get out in hurry as the walls are very high for long distances.
