agreed that as good land titles could

Tulsa county's representatives made
probably the best showing before the
board of any today. w. l.. North,
county commissioner, told the board
that the return of about So. $4,000

The governor declined TO reveal the
name of the writer. He added that
the same correspondent said that two
members of the board admitted that
such was the case, but that they told
him they were afraid to go any high

The commissioners admitted that the
assessors did the work and they equal

the general assessment about 100 per
cent Attorney General West asked
if it was not true that the average
assessment for Muskogee county was
only 60 per cent. The commissioners
declined to share that view.

Oklahoma City. July 24.-One
purpose OF the tax law enacted by the
third legislature, which also created
the office of county assessor, as
brought out by statements OF Attor-
Hey General West before the state
hoard of cquiliZation was to do
away with a multitude of equity suits
flied each year for the purpose of af-
fecting tax levies. There can be
brought. the attorney general stated,
no suit in equity whereby an entire
levy can be found to be illegal, but
the statute did not rob the taxpayer,
he said, of his day in court on the
question of inequality Many county
board members appearing before the
state board held they could do no
more than equali1e as between town
ships.
The law which became effective
June 9, the attorney general stated,
gave county boards on their own mo-
ton authority to eQualze as between
townships and on application as be
tween individuals Some Of the equal
ization boards believed they had no
right to increase assessments return

not lower them.

The Western Musical Herald which
Is published at Chicago contained
column and n half in It's last journal
ahout the May Music Festival at val

Prof. Goodsell Is known throughout

activity in Marion. He was one OF
the most talented musicians that has
ever resided in the city and during
his stay here created much enthus-

anything which has ever been given
in Valley City.
The Festival consisted of four con

oils SYMPHONY Orchestra and seven
solo artists with Emil Oberhoffer as
conductor; the last two by the Choral
Society Orchestra and solo artists with
howard Elson Goodsell and Emil

AS to the work OF the orchestra and
solo artists one can only speak In
terms OF praise. and as to Mr.. Ober-
hotter we are all compelled to admit
that In him we see one of the
greatest conductors In tha entire
orld.
The third concert opened with
Spring Waltz by Mllde, sung by
the Choral society and accompanied by
the Minneapolis Orchestra, with Mr.,
Goodsell as conductor. From the mu-
sicians' standpoint this was the most
81 ItisticJ piece of work which the
Choral Society did. Following this

Mr.. Goodsel was very anxious to
learn whether or not his songs would
be well received, as he had made a
completely new arrangement of the
orchestratlon and this was the first
time that the songs had ever been
sung with full symphony orches-
