The total amount of the taxes collected during the past fiscal year was sS,351,965.47 as against a total collection of the pre- yious year of s3,311.2S1.03.

Every citizen of Oklahoma is just
citizenship that has accomplished
miracles in her wonderful and hither-
to unheard of development. A simple
illustration of how they do things up
there is sufficient to convince any
one that they have the greatest sys-
TEN in the world.

available the vast sum of one million
dollars for the erection of a capitol

ance and general benefit will build
cities in the desert Let the citizens
of Ardmore emulate this example just
once, by buying lots in the Industrial

@WAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND
OF COTTON"

The South may well lay claim to the
title, Land of Cotton" There nearly
fourteen million bales of cotton are pro,
duced each year, out of total world
crop of twenty million bales.
The production of cotton oil shows
up even more favorably.
The choicest cotton oil goes into the
manufacture of Cottolene, which has
won favor not only on its merits as a
irving and shortening medium, but be-
cause OF its purity and wholesomeness.
Cottolene is as wholesome and gen
uine as the far-famed hospitality OF the
sunny South."

officials will neither sanction nor d1sap-
prove a strike of Illinois Central shop
men before next Tuesday at the earliest

The international officials desire TO can
vass thoroughly the recheck now being
taken on the strike vote before they take
sny definite action The recheck began
last Wednesday. and it is thought that the
official report on the vote will not be in
before Monday night.
Railroad officials" said Mr. Kramer to-
day. have averred that the first strike
vote was not thorough and that many of
the men voted blindly. 1t is our purpose
therefore, in taking this second canvass
OF the vote TO satisfy ourselves that every
man Will understand the situation before
he casts his ballot"
Even though the advisory council of ma
chinists. which meets here tomorrow with
other union officials. should favor strike,
II is probable. labor union heads say. that
no strike would be called until the interns-
tional officers have approved such action.
Mr.. Kramer; William II. Davies. secre
tarv of the International Association of
Steamfitters, and Philip Moran, of the ex-
ecutive board of the Federation of Illinois

those who are using their influence TO pre-
vent radical action.

ated body. is one of those leading the
movement for a strike He emphatically
declares that a walk-out cannot be aVerted,
I'm view of the attitude Of the railroad Of
fcials. He is supported in this position by
several members Of the executive board OF
the federation, who insist That DEFINITE ac-
ton be taken at the meeting scheduled 10
be held here tomorrow afternoon
Talk of arbitration as means OF setting
the dispute was revived to-day at several
informal conferences.
