"Mr. w. p. Poland,
'ArdmOre, Oklahoma.
Dear Poland: | have just received
your letter and note its contents with
reference to the payment of delin-
Quent taxes upon lands III the Indian
Territory that have been the object
of litigation in number of suits
that have been filed by the federal
government to cancel conveyances.
Il thoroughly agree with you that
something should be done to relieve
this property, from the large penalty
that attaches under our law, but I
can see no method of furnishing re-
lief except through the Legislature. I
state to you frankly that ] think a
penalty of eighteen per cent for fail
ure to pay taxes on time is abso-
lutely indefensible and should not be
upon the statute books. A reasonable
penalty is all right, but the man
that this pep:'ty usually hurts is the
man who is unable to
borrow money with which to
pay his taxes. while the man with
money or the man able TO borrow
money can relieve himself from the
burden. A penalty of ten per cent
in my judgment, is entirely adequate
under all conditions. ] dom Know
to what extent county commission
ers can grant relief until the legisla-
ture convenes. This is matter,
however, that | would advise you to
take up with the local county author
tiles, especially the county attorney.
Il want your aid and the aid of
other good men in the approaching
legislature to pass not only law
upon the subject you have brought
to my attention, but many other
nedeed laws in Oklahoma.
Your friend,
LEE CRUCE.

JAMES n. MATHERS.
Makes Eloquent Appeal to Voters in
Interests of Haskell.
S. S. TOI.SON

James II. Mathers, one of the best
public speakers IN the state Of Okla
homa as well as one of the most
brilliant lawyers of the state, ad-
dressed an audience of several hun
dred plr>Jls, ~ trNnt - the Ard
mOreite Office FIihay az ing.
For nearly three hours, Mr.. Nath'
ers held his auiieE-a and swayed
them at will as he told of the things
which Senator Owen claimed to have
done, but had not, the spueaker said.
In language which was perfect in
enunciation, but with vitriolic sting,
the speaker attacked the statement
of Senator Owen in which he claim
ed to have done certain things in The
interest of the people of this state
and said that he was taking to him
self credit for what had been accom-
plished by ''blind Tom Gore and peer
less Charley Carter"
The speaker answered many of the
details which Senator Owen had
made in his speech in this city one
week ago,-among them the fact that
he had stated that he was not the
owner of certain swamp lands in this
state which would be benefited more
than any others by the senators
drainage bill" Mr.. Mathers brought
forth affidavits sustaining the Has
kell allegation that Owen did and
does own thousands of acres of these
swamp lands.
He spoke of the number of times
that Owen had been absent from roll
call in the senate. showed the num-
Der of times he had actually voted
and stated that each vote had cost
the taxpayers of Oklahoma over two
thousand five hundred dollars.
He stated that he-the senator,
was not at heart an Oklahoman. that
he was born in the city of Lynch
burg, Virginia, was an F. +. V. at
heart and was not in touch nor in
sympathy with those who earned
their daily bread by the sweat OF
their brow. He said that the senator

extensively in its development, but
the Independent companies are leas-
ing and drilling test wells. Hundreds
Of acre sin east Carter county have
come under lease within the past six
months and all of this probable pro
ducing tract is slated for immediate
test and development. Experienced
oil men from the Mid Continent and
Electra fields have examined the dis
trict and all unite in saying that the
Arbuckle district ultimately will de-
velop into one Of the largest produc.
ers of the southwest.
The prospect that tht wealth pro.
ducing agencies OF Carter county will
be increased by one hundred per cent
during the coming twelve months Is
satisfactory news to the commercial
interests of Oklahoma City, as nine
ty per cent of the increased popu-
lation will be supplied through the
wholesale and jobbing interests of the
metropolis.
Another project that is being re-
vived Is the proposition to extend the
Santa Fe's eastern OklahPma line
from Gushing east to Sapulpa or Tul-
sa. This extension would be about
fifty miles in length and would fur.
ther extend the one day delivery lin

A Strenuous Life.

The servant of the people has a
hard master and he who seeks cleo
tion at the hands of his fellow men
travels a rough and rugged road.
The speaking tour which Governor
Haskell has made since he first en-
tered upon the active candidacy Tor
the United States senate is proof
of this assertion. The governor has
averaged three speeches per day
for nearly two months with scarcely
a days rest. Yesterday no spoke az
Dovis in the afternoon, at Sulphur in
the afternoon and at Ada at night.
His speech last night rounded over
an even one hundred and forty
speeches he has delivered in his
present race.

TAXES WITH PENALTY.
Governor Cruce Favors a Ten Per
Cent PenaIty-Law Calls for 18.

The Ardmoreite reproduces here
with correspondence which has pass
ed between W. p. Poland of this city
and Governor Cruce regarding the
eighteen per cent penalty collectable
by law together with the taxes when
such taxes are delinquent.
1t will be noted that the governor,
in his letter, agrees with Mr.. Poland
that the penalty is excessive and
eXorbitant and suggests that the leg
islature enact means providing a
remedy. The letters of both Mr.. Po-
land and Governor Cruce follow:
"Ardmore, Okla, July %, 1912.
Mr.. Lee Cruce,

My Dear Governor: Since the 3O,-
900 suits were instituted some three
of four years ago. many of the peo-
pie owning those lands stopped the
payment OF taxes. They have been
at great expense defending their Il
ties. Now that much Of this land has
been cleared up of the cloud on
title, these owners find that the back
taxes and the heavy penalty of Is
per cent. which has been running
against it about amounts to confis-
cation. do not believe in n govern
ment making laws that will oppress
its people. Every citiben is this part
of the state knows how these suits
came about. l believe the state
should be just and liberal in this
matter and exact only the taxes and
6 per cent on the money. | think
this would be fair and Just. and
something be done for relief.

4 SUMNER SUGGESTIONS - q
!. y FOR THE Mother n
SeasonabIe advice on the
Health Of Children in Hot
Weather.

Mothers should be careful not to
overfeed children during the hot
months. No one requires as much
food in summer as they do in cold
more easily digested foods, and see
that the milk is kept cool. and the
fruit ripe.
II is quite natural to expect some
disturbance, such as constipation, in
accompanied by a cold. A mild lax
ative at bed time will, in most cases,
carry off the congested waste from
the stomach next morning and by
cleaning tho bowels restore normal
conditions.
Cathartic remedies and purgatives
should never be used for children.

TO THE VOTERS AND TAX
PAYERS OF CARTER COUNTY.

A great many of the voters Of his
county do not seem to realize the
importance of this office. The salary
of the register of deeds is set by the
Legislature according to population.
The population of Carter county az
25,000, and the salary as liked is
sl62.50 per month. The number of
deputies and their salaries is also
fixed by the legislature according
to population. They are appointed
by the county commissioners. The
first deputy receives $75 per month,
and the second deputy receives $50
per month. Every dollar received
at this office is turned over to the
county treasurer, and the county
commissioners allow the salaries of
the register and his deputies.
Since have had charge Of this
office have turned over to the
county, after deductins my salary
and the salaries of my deputies and
paying for the typewriters and all
incidental expenses Of the office,
thirteen thousand, six hundred and
seventy.one dollars. ($13.671.oo)
Do you think any other office in
this county has netted anything near
this amount? | will say to you
frankly that it has not. The first
term that l held this office l was
paid salary and commission, and
l had to pay all the expense of the
office. The first year, | employed
four deputies; the second year, three.
Since the county has been paying the
deputies, / have done the work with
two deputies, but during this time |
have been compelled to have addi-
tional help, for which ] have paid
out of my own salary.
Now, do you believe the amount
of work required in this office and
the thousands of people who have
to be waited on, that l or any other
man could do the work absolutely !
correct with but one deputy? do |
not believe there is man living |
who can do the work absolutely |
correct and give you the service |
that you are entitled to with one |
clerk, and I further believe that |
when any man tells you that he !
can and will do the work mentioned |
above he is telling you something
he does not believe himself, or does
not understand and is making bid
for your vote.
On the 9th of this month the coun-
ty commissioners cut out several
clerks in the different offices, and
they cut this office down to one
deputy, and | tell you, as | told them,
they have not cut out one of my
deputies but have cut my salary the
amount it costs to pay the second
deputy.

owned $4,000 residence i'll Wash
ington, ID. c., where he really made
! his home. The speaker stated that
the Senator thought Oklahoma of
so little Importance and had so little
respect for the intelligence of her
people. that he had drawn his pri-
vate secretary from Vermont. This
secretary draws salary of $l,SOO
per year, salary paid by the tax
payers OF Oklahoma. There are thou
sands of young men just as well quail
flied, possessed of just as much
brains as this product of the Green
Mountains of Vermont, who would be
willing to act as secretary of Rob
ert l.. owen for Sl,S00 per annum.
Mr. Mathers referred to the fact
that Senator Owen had not voted
in the state, whose interests he was
elected to represent and from the
hands of whose people he was now
asking for reelection, for four years.
The registration books of Senator
Owens home city bear me out in
this statement The speaker next
called attention to the fact that the
senator, upon being importuned by
the democratic central committee
of his home city-the city he claim
ed as his home when seeking re-
election--for financial aid during a
recent campaign had sent check
for one hundred dollars, accompanied
by a letter couched in such bitter
language that the committee con-
sidered the same a personal affront
and unanimously decided not to cash
the check, nor use the money there
from. The check is now framed and
hanging upon the walls of the offices
of the committee to this day.
Mr.. Mathers called attention to the
famous letter written by Senator
owen to Douglas Russell, the negro
editor of a negro paper, wherein the
senator had said that the grand
father law Disseminated in favor of
the ignorant white man against the
ignorant colored man He called
attention to the senator's first deny
ing the authorship of this letter al
together and the excuses he offered
for writing it when at last he ack-
nowledged that he had written it.
BY way of conclusion the senator
alluded to the young lady VINO mad
gone from Madill, in an adjoining
county to Carter, to Washington for
the purpose of concluding her edu-
cation, how she had called at the
Owen residence to present intorduc-
tory letters from well known Okla
homans, written to Senator Owen in
her behalf, and how she had failed
to gain an audience with him, re-
ceiving word from him that ne did
not know her.
