Notice to taxpayers.

# is hereby ordered by the Board
of Equalization of Carter County
State of Oklahoma, in session:
That all farming lands in said Coun-
tv be reduced ten per cent from the
value that is extended on the assess
ment rolls by the Assessor.
That upon a thorough investigation
by the Board of Equalization ana
County Assessor we find that the AS
SCISSORS rolls are practically equallzed
as near as could be done without go
ing upon each and every small tract
of land in the County. We also llnh
that the people throughout the County
are clamoring for lower valuations,
and for that reason we ordered the
blanket reduction.
House Bill Number lO6 OF Session
Laws of 1911, Section IA, provides:
That the County Commissioners may
hear and determine allegations OF ef-
roncous assessments or mistakes or
differences either in the description
or value of land or other property
at any session of said Board before
the taxes shall have been paid, on
application of any person or persons
who shall by the proper affidavits
show good cause for not having at
tended the meeting of the County
Board of Equalization. Under this
law the Board of County Commas
sioners by proper affidavits of as
many as three reputable persons,
filed with the County Clerk any time
before January 1st, 1913, they shall
have hearing, and if shown that the
valuation is excessive and prohlbltory
to the business and welfare OF the
person, that it snail be granted, but
no claim will be heard or allowed
with less than three affidavits prop
erly filed with the County Clerk and
recommended by the County Assessor.
We further find that the average
valuation OF all the lands that ale
taxable in Carter county is $14.O5 per
acre. That the valuation after the state
raise in 1911 was 1855.
We also find that the Supreme
Court decision on Indian lands has
reduced the taxable property prac-
tically one-half in Carter County. We
fully realize that the State Board OF
Equalization by the Supreme Court
decision this year has authority to
raise all classes of property by the
blanket raise We have been con
fronted with the State Board telling
us that we must have the valuation
and also the people clamorng for the
reduction.
Under the law you have ten days il
which to appeal to the District Court
from this day, if you are not satisfied
with the countys equalization.
! All passed in open session, this the
10Th day of July, A. d., 1912, and this
Board now stands adjourned sine die

TAKES COTTON SAMPLE HOME
Nebraska Sheriff Takes Sample OF
Oklahoma Product With Him.

Guy Hyers, sheriff, who was here
last week for a prisoner wanted at
Lincoln, Nebraska, returned home
loaded with samples of Oklahoma cot
ton.
Sheriff Hyers first VISITED the oil
mill and compress and got grip
full of cotton seed to take back to
the land of sand dunnes and winter
SHOWS; not satisfied with this, the
gentleman made an auto trip into the
country and returned well laden with
specimens of the growing stalks from
the plant just peeping through the
grounds to those in full flower.
He said that the people of Lincoln
had seen all kinds of democrats, from
the straight Bryan variety on up and
down, but that very few of them had
ever seen any of the democratic prod
ust of the genuine land of cotton. Al
ter exaoting a promise from Chief
Braziel to send him cotton stalk lar
den with the snowy product, next fall,
the sheriff left for Nebraska with his

EI Pasos Opinion

The Ell Faso Herald of March .
said: "One cannot but help boost The
Game after one sees the play Jack
London never wrote anything more
vivid and Mr.. Albert Taylor and his
company, who presented the play at
the Crawford last night, never ap
peared in a better one.
The presentation of The Game
last night was the first time 1t was
ever played by Mr.. Taylor and his
company, in fact it was the first
time the play was ever given in the
United States at popular prices. For
nearly three hours it held the audi
ence just as spellbound as it did the
first night of the years run In New
York City.
,""The Came like most of London's
works, is a transcript from real life,
it runs the gamut of human emotions,
for it shows life as it iS-not as If
should be. 1t is queer mixture o.
comedy and pathos-of laughter and
tears-but so is life. In each of the
three acts there is a strong climax.
a little pathos, lots of love and
enough laughs to actually delay the
progress of the play"

those Of his soldiers. He arose super
Tor to human in6rnity and was proof
against the temptations Of this life.
It might be said of him with truth
He was greater than Caesar, who
with 20, 900 DICTIONARIES won upon the
plains Of Pharsalia q brilliant victory
over Pompey, the chosen leader Of the
Republic, Commanding fifty thousand
of the finest troops Of Greece and of
Imperial Rome. Greater than Bona
parte, with his brilliant victories of the
Pyramids, Marengo, Jena, and his
browning triumph upon the field Of
AusterIitz. Greater than Marlborough,
the most brilliant Of English Generals,
who swept across the face Of Europe
with his army, and with single blow
at the battle Of Blendheim, annihilated
the French, and brought peace and re-
pose to the distracted councils of the
Continent. Greater that Wellington,
who successfully encountered in Portu-
gal and Spain three of the greatest
Marshals of France Soult, Massena
and Marmount, and later won the great
battle of Waterloo and consigned to
permenant exile the most ambitious and
the most restless spirit Of all time.
Master Of Himself.
Greater than any one of these, for
the reason that while his strategy was
as brilliant and his tactics as effective,
he had achieved victory that could be
accorded to no one. Of these great COM
manders, he had made himself complete
and absolete master of himself. Pos
sessed Of perfect poise of mind and
temperament, his character adorned
with every moral and manly attribute
and endowed with every Christian vir-
tue, presents beautiful and glowing
example, worthy of emulation by all
the men of our country, and especially
by our ambitions and aspiring youths,
stimulating them in time of peace to
great and noble purposes and to gener-
GUS undertakings, and in time of war,
prompting them to line of conduct in
the camp, on the march and upon the
battlefield that will enable them to win
for themselves imparishable honors and
to couple their names with deeds Of
renown.
