ANNUAL AILMENT MAKING ITS
DUE APPEARANCE.

1t is altogether n pity-amusing
thing to notice how some persons
take hold Of work, or rather, how
they don't take hold of work. with
the first few warm days OF spring
with the advent of this particular
season, there is always gigantic
slump in the work business. espec-
tally on the part of those who do not
fancy the swelling of a muscle at any
time.
There are two things in the spring
time to which an indisposition to
sweat may be attributed. one is
spring fever. and the other is lazi-
ness Spring indsposition is con-
trolled by these two prime factors.
1t is to be denied that the groundhog
has anything to do with it. And whilo
these two factors bear striking re-
semblance to each other, each he's its
own peculiarties.
Every place on earth has its lot Of
lazy, shftleSs loafors who balk on
the tan. Every town has its herd of
lazy men who have such awful weak
backs that they would be laid up for
months and months if they but at
tempted to do a little digging out in
the garden-actually lazy. They can
do no more in this world than to al
low their wives to do some washing,
perhaps keep some boardcrs, in or
der that the family may not suffer.
The men are physically incapable Of
helping out around the home, yet
they are always the fret TO bet tho
drinks that they can shoulder two.

why, they have an unlimited. un-
bounded array of physical energy for
any purpose on top Of earth except
work. You can always tell "A lazy
man in crowd. lie Is the first TO

of the muscle breaking Kind.
That Is laziness. Spring fever acts
differently. and the man suffering
from an attack of this highly mallg-
nant effection. while he has not con-

OIL PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION
TAKES ISSUE WITH THE
PROPOSED SYSTEM.
See MONOPOL|STIC CONTROL
Campaign VIII BE Launched Against
the Double Taxation" as Plan
ned by the Tax Ferrets.
(BN ". ii. PECK.)

Mr.. Chairman, | move that this
meeting be adjourned to re-convene
again in five minutes as an independ-
ent oil mems meeting"
The above very startling remark
took the breath away from Presl-
dent Perry al the close of the meet
ing Of the oil and Gas association
held yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of the Commercial club, where they
had been in session for an hour ana
half, discussing the best manner
OF fighting the new intangible tax
levy.
Mr.. Perry, recovering somewhat
from his astonishment desired to
know what else this meeting was but
meeting of the Independent pro-
ducers
Whereupon Mr.. Wrightsman, for il
was he who startled the meeting with
the foregoing remark, replied thai
there were some matters to come be-
fore the producers which would not
require the help Of Our friends, the
pipe lines, and proceeded, after the
attorneys who are supposed to repre-
sent the pipe line companies had
withdrawn. they being about the only
pipe line people there, to present ana
read from manuscript the preamble
and resolution printed below, which
he desired TO have wired to the Sec
retary of the Interior and to Presi-
fatn Pa A
meeting was for the discussion of the
proposed collection Of a tax by the
tax ferrets now, operating in Oklaho-
ma, and the matter was presented
very ably and very forcibly by Presi
dent Perry who described the man
nor of procedure as published here
tofore in the World. lie was follow
ed by Attorney Jackson, OF Sapulpa,
and Charles Walker of Tulsa, several
others also taking hand in the dis
cussion.
Thinks II Can't BE Collected.
Finally the chair called upon At
torney billiard to make statement
as to the best way of fighting this
matter. Mr.. Diliard took very OPP
timistic view Of the situation; In fact,
raised the spirits of the crowd which
had been sadly depi essed by the state
ments made by the earlier speakers.
Mr.. Dillard believes that there Is no
statute under which this tax can be
collected. and further, that SUI
preme court decision has distinctly
stated that oil in the ground does not
become part of the property of the
lessor. but remains absolutely the
property of the owner of the fee.
There was committee appointed
to take such action as might be
thought best to act in conjunction
with committees from other counties,
to employ counsel and to raise by
contribution from the operators nee.
essary means to fight the matter TO
n finish There will be no compro-
mise whatever, all the producers
agreeing to stand pat and to effect
no settlements, preferring rather TO
spend the money necessary to protect
their rights than TO pay this new un
jist and uncalled for tax.

CHARLES W. GRIMES SEEKS TO
BE MAYOR OF TULSA.
Prominent Young Attorney Makes
Announcements Following Sur
prise by Many of His Friends.

Charles w. Grimes, well known
attorney of Tulsa, made his entry into
the political race for the democratic
nomination for mayor yesterday after
noon in rather an unusual way. Mr..
Grimes was working in his office when
a telephone call summoned him to a
friends office. When he reached this
office he found two rooms full Of
men, who greeted him with clapping
and cheering. He was somewhat as
founded as to the cause for the cele-
bration, but was soon Informed that
1t was the sense of the meeting that
he consent to make the race for demo-
cratic candidate for mayor.
Although MIR. Grimes had hitherto
refused to enter the race, under this
pressure, he could not get out, and
decided to allow the use Of his name.
Mr.. Grimes, who is 35 years old
was born in Ohio and graduated from
the Ohio Northwestern university and
law school. He came to Tulsa seven
years ago, and has since been an ac-
tive business man of this city. He
was the first county superintendent of
schools in Tulsa county and has al
ways been hard worker I'm the demo-
cratic ranks, and is a clean cut young
attorney.

sideration for the political bugaboo.
And there is every reason to believe
at this time that there will be little
effect on the business of the country
because it is year wherein a piesi-
dent is to be elected.
The prospects of a glorious year of
prosperity seems to be increasing with
each succeeding day.

WITH THE POLITICIANS

Governor Cruce is being flooded
with letters and kilograms from all
parts of the state, encouraging him
FOR the courageous stand he took in
the state convention against the So
called "tin-horn politicians"
Chairman Cochran, OF the Third
district republican committee, was in
Tulsa yesterday mixing a little politi-
cal dope and is stlll laboring under the
delusion that Teddy will reign su-
preme in his private stamping
grounds.
A copy of an editorial written about
year ago by Thomas A. Latta, Roose-
Welt leader in Tulsa, declares that un-
der no consideration would Teddy
again be a candidate for the presi
dency. But then. Tom, as well as
Teddy, has write" to change his
mind under different circumstances.
with the republican county conven-
tion slated for Saturday out OF the
way, 1t is possible that the candidates
FOR city offices will be able to pro-
cure little recognition.
Some of the prominent democrats
are agitating non-partisan school
board. Maybe they see the writing
on the wall and want to land q few
democrats IN spite of the threatened
republican landslide.
II is rumored that the politicians
will sc: theirs AT the Press club min
strel to be held March rs. the night
before the general city election.
u is evident that the women of
Tulsa intend to have something to say
about the school board TO be elected
this spring. as the women's clubs are
urging on their members to procure
registration of all women eligible TO
vote.
Precinct caucuses today will tell
the story of Teddy or Taft In Tulsa
