STATE IS winner
IN BIG TAX CASES
WESTERN UNION LOSES SUIT IN
FEDERAL COURT-Wlll BE OF
WIDE EFFECT.

Guthrie, Okla, March 20.-Attorney
General West was notified Saturday
that the United States circuit court
of appeals at st. Louis has affirmed
the decision of Judge Cotteral of
the circuit court in the cases of the
Western Union Telegraph company
against NJ. f. Trapp, state auditor.
Taxable property amounting to ar
least sS,00O,O0O was said to have
been involved at the time of the
decision of Judge Cotteral at Guthrie
year ago.
The Western Union and Pullman
cases were brought OH the plea thai
the assessments were out of proper.
ton to the property owned and oper-
ated by the plaintiffs. They further
attacked the assessments on the
grounds that the constitution required
the amount to be done by a board of
assessors, while as matter of fact
il was done nv a board Jf equal
zation. Judge Cotteral held that the
difference was not material and the
plaintiffs had ample notice and op-
poIltunity for protests. He also held
that the state was within its Consti-
tuition in making the assessments.
Judge Cotteral held that the board
was not to be confined to assess
ments of tangible assets but had a
right to go into franchise business
and revenue.
The Western Union set up that
it was assessed $1,l4,O0O, which was
$4,000 more than it actually owned
and operated in 1908, the year in
which the assessments in question
were made. The Pullman set up
that it was assessed 100000 more
than it was worth.
The contention between the state
and the companies was that The

value and the companies wanted to
confine assessments to cost and ac-
tual outlay, regardless of practical
value.
The case was heard here in 1909,
Attorney General West appearing for
the state.
Attorney General West said Sat.
urday night that this decision, in
his opinion, will determine the seven
ty-five or more railroad tax cases
now pending in the United States
circuit court which have been set
for hearing at Oklahoma City Mon.
day. The pending cases cover tax
assessments of 1908, 1909 and 1910,
against practically every railroad
operating in Oklahoma and effecting
almost every county through which
a railroad runs.

THE TALE OF A PAII.

The big problem OF manufacturers OK
food products has been to devise =
package for their products which will
insure the housewife getting them sweet
fresh, without deterioration.
In this connection very ingenious
package has been invented for the pro-
lection of Cotto,ene. The pals in which
this cooking fat is packed Git is never
sold in bulk have special cover forced
on by machinery and then sealed. This
makes the pail absolutely air-tight, and
Cottolene will keep indefinitely as fresh
and as sweet as the day it was made.

Washington is threatened with
scandal because of the way senatorial
lame ducks" are said to be holding
on to their former rooms in The SEN
ate office building. Ex-senator Aid
rich is named as the chief offender
Considerable comment has been
heard in Washington because Senator
La Toilette, in the next congress, viii
be the only republican to sit on the
democratic side. There will be only
one vacancy left on the republican
side, but Senator La Toilette does
not care for an end seat against the
wall.
Last year the government of the
, United States paid out nearly $l2,-
100000 for the transportation OF its
public servants on official business.
The matter is now under consdera-
ton by the economy commission,
which has called upon the treasury de-
partment to furnish it with the vouch-
ers of transportation so that min
ute anlysis might be made of them.
Recurring to one of the most impor-
tant subjects now being discussed by
politicians of all parties, majority
rule, many democrats do not forget
that at their national convention in
Kansas City in 1900, where Bryan was
nominated for the second time, the
committee on resolutions was recon-
mitted to the free silver ratio of 16
to issue by majority of one vote,
that of Prince David of the Hawaiian
islands, a non-electrol vote giving
Territory.
It is reported from Washington that
so suspicious are the democratic
members of the house committee
on ways and means of each other that
they are watching the home papers of
each member of the new committee,
for the purpose of finding out who is
leaking" on the news of the execu
tive sessions of that body, which is
outlining plans for a revision of the
tariff and selecting the democratic
members of the new house commit
tees in the next congress. News con-
cerning the work of that body is now
got by the most devious methods. The
committee as a whole is composed of
some of the best. friends the newspa-
per men have in Washington, and,
like the executive sessions of the SEN

How much of a part Mr.. La Toilette

A Chicago paper has announced
that the hobbe skirt is not one of the
discoveries of the twentieth century,
but merely revival of a fashion
worn centuries ago.
Some scientist carefully, pouring
over the hieroglyphics of the ancient
Egyptians has discovered that the wo-
men of Thebes hoped merrily along
in hobble skirts more than 1000 years
ago. They even say that in the time
OF Ptolemy and Cleopatra the -four
hundred of Egyptian society tripped
along the banks of the Shiny, sluggish
Nile in hobble skirts-and possibly
some of them fell in.
Dye-Mut-Esankh lady of Thebes
1000 b. c., wore hobble that made
her famous.
1t was wonderful asp of gold, and
was attached to her skirt by clasps.
Some of the scientists won't COM
NIT themselves to the hobble, but
merely say they wore tight skirts in
those days. At any rate the pictures
suggest the styles We see today.

THE EVIL OF cuNToTlNG.

There Is an agitation in progress In
favor of the stricter application of the
laws against carrying pistols.
The papers very properly attribute
many Of the hcmicides that occur y
large cities to the practices OF carryins
pistols by thousands OF irresponsible
men, who. in moment Of anger, are
only too prone to use the weapon thus
right at hand
e pistol carrying we're uncommon
many Of the homicides that now occur
would be avoided.
The mere fact that a man has PTS
tol in his pocket impels him to draw
and use it.
There are. Ct course. laws against
the carrying Of concealed Weapons,
but such laws are in a large sense in
operative. as it is not readily ascer-
tainable that man has weapon
CON called untii after he has commit
ted some oifense that tempted the
display of the pistol or other wea-
pom or after he has been arrested for
some trivial offense and is searched at
the police station.
rae law abiding people, who re-
speet the law and refrain from carry
ing pistols are frequently placed at the
mercy of toughs and thugs, who are
always armed
IT mas been suggested by some pa
pers that the laws against the carry
ing of concealed weapons might pro
fitablv be supplemented by statute
compelling persons who imagine or
realize that they should have a wea-
pom in their possession TO take out
non transferable license, empowering
them to have pistol.
Such a license law would make ii
compulsory on all dealers in pistols 10
exact from every purchaser the dis
play OF a proper license. after which
the number aud make Of every pistol
sold would be recorded and filed with
the lice authorities. withsthe name
OF the purchaser.
The custom OF carrying weapons in
q civilized community is barbarous
and can be justified only by the
knowledge that all reckless and tu~-
bulent people SC armed
In most European Countries weapons
cannot be in anybody's possession
without license.
As a result, homicides are much less
frequent in such countries tnan in tie
United States
That the number of killings bears
reasonable proportion TO the practice
Of carrying pistols and other deadly
weapons IS certain
Guns and rifles that cannot be con
cealed may and are used for sporting
purposes, but pistols are rarely, IL
ever, used except to kill or wound
people.
A pistol may be necessary for the
protection Of the home against rob
bers and in such case there would
be no hardship in securing license
to ossess a pistol. and the honest
householder would have no object in
eoncea!ing the fact that he had such
Weapon on his premises.
