TAXPAYERS CALLED
IN CONVENTION
Tax League to Be Organized Here foI
Purpose Of Making War on
High Taxes.

The meeting of the taxpayers of
Craig county here tomorrow promises
to be one of the most important events
of the year in Vinita, and it is predict
ed that an organization will be effect
ed at this time that will have an inn
portant bearing on the future political
destinies of this county and of Vinita.
The decision of the taxpayers to or
ganize for the purpose of protecting
themselves from high taxes came as
the result of the action of the state
board of equalization in arbitrarily
raising the value of farm and city
property in Craig county, for taxing
purposes, at much higher value than
this property would bring at fair
cash sale. 1t is proposed to organize,
elect officers, levy dues and prepare to
wage an Hnceasing campaign against
excessive taxation. The taxpayers of
the county are all requested to attend
this meeting and it is probable a large
delegation from Welch Bluejacket,
Big Cabin, White Oak Centralia and
the smaller towns of the county will
be here to attend this meeting.

Leaders Begin Scramble For District Attorney
Appointments In Two Oklahoma Dis

Attorneys Early Next Month

Washington, d. c., Dec. l5.-There's
political pie to be cut by President
Taft for Oklahoma republicans. about
the first or second week in January
and as the chief executive has long
since learned to expect, when there is
a bit of patronage at stake, the G. o. P
leaders of the state are scrambling for
it like bunch of hungry children after

Early next month President Taft
will be called upon to name two Unit
ed States attorneys, one for the west
|ern district of the state and one for
the east. 1t is these jobs that has
started the republican organization off
in another tug of war, and both sides
are kept busy laying their requests

Taft by letter and in person.
Probably the greatest interest is be-
ling taken in the contest being waged

QUART LAW GETS
KNOCKOUT BLOW
Criminal Court Of Appeals Holds That
This Section is Contrary to the
State Constitution.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 15.-That por-
ton of the state prohibition law limit
ing the amount of intoxicating liquor
which may be kept in a place of bus
mess to one quart and in private resi-
dence to one gallon was given a knock
out blow by the criminal court of ap
peals in an opinion by Judge Arm
strong yesterday when the statute
was declared in violation of both the
state and federal constitutions.
Tie case was brought before the
court of ! st resort in criminal mat
ters by an application for a writ Of
habeas corpus filed by w. J. Wilson
of Ardmore who was arrested charged
with having in his possession three
quarts of alcohol. The case was sub
mitted upon an agreed statement OF
facts and the only question before the
court was the constitutionality of the
statute. The state limiting the
amount which may be kept in pri-
yate home to one gallon was not in
issue, but the question is identically
the same and it is stated by Judge
Armstrong that the ruling will operate
to also put that provision of the law
out of operation.
Judge Armstrong in the opinion of
the court cites long list of decisions
from the federal courts and the high
est courts of many states. 1t is held
that the statute is in violation of Sec
ton article 2 of the state constitu-
ton in that it deprives citizen of the
state of his property without due pro-
cess of law. 1t is in violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution which provides that no
state shall pass any law which de
prives any citizen of the United States
of property without due process OF
law
Under the statute which was abolish
ed yesterday the mere possession OF
intoxicating liquor over the amount
stipulated in the law was sufficient
evidence to render a verdict of guilty
of violation of the liquor laws and
many convictions have been obtained
under the statute. The statute has
been the means of driving many boot
leggers of the state out of business.
