Vinita, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir: At your request will
give you my construction of the laws
of Oklahoma, in reference to the time
of payment of taxes. VIII say how
ever that / hesitate to do so for the
reason that the construction is in di-
rect conflict with the attorney gen
erals Office
Chapter 12O of the session laws of
1911, at first glance seems ambiguous,
but by reviewing the general revenue
law enacted by the legislature in 1903
and the amendment made thereto in
1910, the law of 1911 becomes more
clear.
Section ! of article of chapter 3S
of the session laws of 1909 provided
that the taxes come due on the 18th
day of October, and unless paid before
the first day of January should become
delinquent on the first day of February
thereafter. You viii observe from that
law that for some reason tax payers
had 80 days of grace for some reason
or other before the tax become delin
quent and subject to the penalty.
In the year 1910 the legislature by
section chapter 73 amended section
of article chapter 3S of the session
laws of 1911, and provided that hall
of the taxes should become due on the
first day of December, and unless sait
half of the taxes so levied should bC
paid on or before the first day of Jan
uary, the entire tax for each yea
should become delinquent on the frs
day of January; if the first half o
the tax levy shall have been paid OF
or before the 1st day of January, thu
second half becomes delinquent on th'
18th day of June thereafter In othe
words the first half of the taxes wer
due in December of each year, and

Millions of Turkeys

The report made by the growers and
dealers in turkeys to the New York
and Philadelphia Produce Exchanges
from all sections of the United States,
West, Southwest, East and South,
show that the number of turkeys is
much larger this year in all sections
than ever before in the history of the
country
The New York Herald, ore of the
largest and most influential papers in
the East, is making to its subscribers,
statement that consumers will be
ole to buy turkeys for Thanksgiving
ON the retailers at eighteen to twen-
ty cents per pound.
As the crop is SO large, it looks as
if the farmers of this and adjoining
counties will not be able to get over
thirteen or fourteen cents pound,
live weight for their turkeys this year.
But even at these prices. the large
number raised will bring a vast
amount of money to the farmers in the
Valley.

MT. OLIVE.

Mrs. Rebecca Sibert, aged 10.
widow of the late Joseph Sibert, died
at her home here Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Sioert had been in i'll health
for several years with heart trouble,
which was the immediate cause of her
death. Though her many friends
knew of her serious illness yet her
passing away being sudden comes as
a great shock to them. Mrs. Sibert
was probably one of the best known
and most loved women of her section.
Her funeral will be held from the
Methodist church at Mount Olive, of
which she was long consistent and
devout member. Burial will be in the
graveyard near the church beside her
husband who preceded her to the grave
about 10 years. Besides son, she is
survived by one sister, Mrs. John II.

representatives. said today that i'm
mediately after the converting
OF Cong ess he would secure favorable
action on his resolution to change the
inaugural date from the 4th of March
to the last Thursday in April, and
that there was no question but that
both branches of Congress would ir-
dorse the proposition before the ses
sion adjourns.
1.-THE House will be practically I'M
animous in favor OF the resolution, -
SAID Mr. Henry, land am confident
that the Senate will give it large ma.
jority as we'll. The resolution intro

all the defects which made it subject to
criticism when ii was voted upon in
the House 10 the closing of the sixty
first Congress, when it failed Of pas
