HOUSEHOLD GOODS VALUES
State Equalization Board Con-
siders $40 Per Individual
is Fair Average

Oklahoma has more costly house
hold goods than the people were
willing to admit when giving their
property valuations to township as
SCISSORS. The total figured $10,77l
495, or aboH $3.50 per man, women
and child in the state. The state
board of equalization believes that
every man ought to have household
goods worth at least $40 for himself
and every member of his family and
the board advanced the total in the
counties equal to that much per per
son of total population. AS a result
this class Of property was Increased
to 1856, $50, or nearly $4,000 600.
The same plan was adopted in figur
ing farm machinery, tools, etc, which
had been returned In the aggregate
as being worth S3,S17831. and the
board concluded that no farmer had
less than 81 worth OF implements,
tools, etc, per member Of his house
hold. and that increase meant about
100000.
In computing the farm machinery
tax only, the population outside the
cities. towns and villages was em
ployed, and the compilation shows
that nearly one third of Oklahoma's
population reside IN towns, and two
thirds or f106,903 la what is CON
monty referred TO the country.

out, reducing the expense in that de-
partment s140 monthly, and in the
street cleaning and maintenance de-
partment, the monthly expense has

missioners have also reduced their
regular force and made a considerable
saving to the city. The park police
men and one other regular man have
been released. Steps will be taken
at an early date to lower other ex-

such nature, in the estimation OF
the commissioners as not TO reduce
the efficiency Of the departments, but
Of a character consistent with the
present needs and conditions in the
city.
The police department is busy now
collecting the quarterly licenses which
are due, such as pool and billiard hall
licenses, etc.
Bids have been advertised for the
work of repairing convention hall.

Why Underwood Is Sore.


Lincoln, Ncb., Aug p William J.
Bryan declines to relent in his lash
ing of Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means committee In the
current issue of his Commoner, Bry-
an will say:
THE action Of Chairman Under
wood in opposing an immediate effort
to reduce the iron and steel schedule
reveals the real Underwood. Speak
er Clark and other tariff reformers
tried to secure the passage of a reso-
luton instructing the ways and means
committee to take up other schedules
of iron and steel, but Underwood and
Fitzgerald OF New York, the FitZ-
gerald who saved Cannon in the last
congress, succeeded in defeating it.
"Mr Kitchen, member Of the
committee, reminded Mr.. Underwood
that he had told the country that al.
his worldly goods we're tied up in the
iron and steel business and that a
failure to report a bill covering that
schedule might be attributed to his
connection with the business, but even
this did not move him. Some of the
Democrats thought Mr.. Bryan did Mr..
Underwood an injustice when he
charged him with being tainted with
protection. What do the Democrats
think now since Mr. Underwood has
put himself at the head of the opDo-
sition to Speaker Clark's tariff redQc-
tion program?"
