ACTION OF STATE
BOARD IN FINAL
Attorney General in Decision Thurs
day Says the County Boards Do
Not Have Last Say.

Oklahoma City, July 2l-That the
state board of equalization will raise
the valuation as returned by the var
ious counties nearly so per cent is the
prediction made by county officers
who went through the mill Thursday.
The board has decided to adopt the
lpolicy of fixing the valuation on farm
lands, for example. in the various
counties at lump sum, and then al
lowing the county commissioners un-
der the new law to reassign the amount
of the raise to the various townships
or individuals.
The valuation fixed by the state
board is final and can not be changed
as to the total amount by the county
boards. There has been a general inn
preston that the new law allowed the
county boards the last say, but Attor-
ney General West declared Thursday
that if the law does contain any such
provision it would be unconstitutional
Comparisons were made between the
assessments of farm lands and decided
lands recently sold in the various coun-
tiles. Comparison was also made with
the appraisement of 1908, the first after
statehood, in which horizontal slash
was made by the state board, fixing
the standard that has been maintained
In a general way since that time. 1t
seemed to be the evident intention of
the board to get the valuation at least
back up to the 1908 standard.
Logan county came in for severe
grilling, especially at the hands of At
torney General West, who owns prop
erty in Guthrie. 1t was shown as
re suit of the boards investigation that
much of the property there, especially
that owned by Weather citizens, was
assessed far below its real value.
Comanche proved to be the first
county yet heard by the board where
the appraisement was higher than the
average price paid for school land. The
average appraisement was $1S23 and
the average sale price of the school
lands was $17.26. The county officials
were therefore perfectly willing to
agree in that case that the price of the
school lands was fair average for the
county, although others have been
rather reluctant to do so.
Both Cleveland and Canadian coun-
ties claimed to have made their assess
ment on cash basis, but the Custer
county people admitted that theirs was
made on a basis of 85 per cent of the
real value. There were also some in
dications that it might really have
been on a lower basis than that, as
the state and national banks were as
sessed at SO and So per cent respec-
lively, and the assessment was only
1875 per cent of the sale price of the
land sold, although it was claimed by
the commissioners that those prices
were in most cases too high.
Beckham, Greer, Harmon Jackson,
Kiowa, Lincoln, Payne and Pottawato-
ME counties were also heard by the
board Thursday. Oklahoma county was

proper sewerage and other sanitary
facilities are unavailable"
/ "In spite of all these adverse condi-
tions," he says, however, "the canned
tomato product, quickly handled into
its final containers, and thoroughly
sterilized as it is, is undoubtedly for
the most part a wholesome article of
food supply, and is rarely, in these
days at least, subject to any artificial
preservative treatment"
But the waste This" he continues.
lis a most repulsiye, nasueating mass
of fermented, rotten garbage, consist
ing of peelings, cuttings, and decayed
and partly ripe tomatoes, losely and
carelessly handled 1t is scooped up
with shovels and buckets from the
floors, and afterward is treated with
a quantity OF benzoate of soda, there
by protecting it from ultimate putrid-
ity In other words it is embalmed." ;"
I'm this condition" the bulletin goes
on to say, 'it is finally sold to food
manufacturers who make it I'D into
ketchups, soups, ETC., which are palm
ed off on the public as being made
from fresh, ripe, sound tomatoes, pre-
pared with 1-10 of 1 per cent benzoate
of soda DR., A. w. Biting, of the
United States department of agricuI
ture, in a report of his Investigations
of ketchup making, states chat the
great bulk of tomato ketchup in the
market is made of this material"
These manufacturers are the fellows
that Dr. Wiley has been after. In his
work he has run down hundreds of
violators of the law, who have been
fined and their products confiscated
and destroyed In a bulletin issued
June 16, 1911, by the department of
agriculture signed by Secretary Will
son, there is an account Of seizure of
three consignments of tomato paste,
totaling 202 barrels, shipped from
canning factory in New Jersey" The
complaint charged that this tomato
paste was adulterated, and CONSISTED
Of filthy, decomposed and putrid vege-
table substances"
When the case came to hearing
the claimant of the products failed to
appear, and the court ordered the to-
mato paste destroyed This is only
one instance in hundreds of DR.. Wiley's
efficient work in behalf of the people.
No wonder the doped food makers say
that their industry is being ruined"
and their bitter fight on Wiley Is not
hard to understand.
But few people believe that they
will succeed in having DIR. Wiley GUST
ed on a technicality. He has prctect-
ed the food of the people for twenty
i've years against the fraudulent man.
lfacturing interests. He has thou
sand friends where he has one enemy.
and 1t is not thought possible that
President Taft, even at Wickersham's
behest, will make so grave a political
mistake as would be the ousting of
Wiley on behalf of the benzoaters.

1t was on July 81, 1861, just fifty
years ago today that Bull Run, or the
first battle of Manassas, was fought.
The confederates under Johnson were
accredited with decisive victory over
the Union forces under Mcdowell, the
retreat of the federals leaving prae-
tically clear road to Washington for
the confederates, it is said, had they
chosen to continue their advance on
the capital. This was the first real
battle of the war, and its result awak-
ened the north for the first time to q
realization of what the secession of
the southern states meant. It was
here that "Stonewall' Jackson gained
the name which will be associated with
his memory for all time.
In August, 1852, Manassas was again
the scene of a bloody battle, Lee and
Longstreet and Sykes, Reno and Rey-
nolds fought to draw, the battle lines
being exactly the reverse of what they
were the year before.
The Jubilee Reunion was planned by
COMMITTEES of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the United Confederate
Veterans. Interesting events have
taken palce each day this week, ses-
sions of the national organization of
"The Blue and the Gray and Their
Sons" being held today.
The Manassas National Anthem. adj
opted by the committee, was written
by Mrs. Mary Speed Mercer, of Elm
City, N. C. This is the chorus:
America, all hail to thee,
Thanks be to God who made us free.
North, South, East, West, hand clasped
in hand,
United we, thy children stand"

SETTLEMENT SATISFACTORY,

The Farmers Board, represented
in the persons of o. J. Wilson Of
Jerome and A. T. Eakin of Wendell q,
has been very busy for the past few
weeks, taking up the terms of set
Element with each one of the claim
ants individually. Ninety-fve per
cent of the entrymen have been able
to arrange the matter to their salts
faction. 1t will only be few days
till terms will be arranged for the
settlement of practically every
claim. The Company has expressed
itself as ready and anxious to do its
part, and from all indications, in a
a short time the damage question
will have been relegated to the past,
probably never to be revived again.
This family jar has been a very
bad thing in many ways; but it has
taught one lesson that will be of
great benefit to the country in years
to come. 1t has taught the Water
Co. that the farmers out here are
not a band of robbers, and that it
is to its interest to make every per-
son on the tract a satisfied, self
supporting and permanent citizen,
one who will feel justified in asking
his friends to come and enjoy the
good things of the country. 1t has
taught the farmer that he is de-
pendent more or less on the Com
pany and that he should not act
hastily in any matter affecting the
mutual interest ON the tract.
