" THE MATTER OF TAXES
NlBLACK FAVORS BILL
MAKING MORE TAX
ABLE LANDS ON
THE EAST SIDE

Taxation Is the biggest question in
Oklahoma. Niblack advocates legis-
iation looking to the curtailment OF
taxation, by the enactment Of home
stead law which will double the as
sessed value OF taxable property in
many eastern Oklahoma counties, and
which would reduce the present tax
rate In the western part one-half. The
assessed value OF farms in old Okla
homs territory is s54s.T7S.055; Of old
Indian territory, s234,720,923.
Tne total county city, township
and school tax is more than five per
cent in many eastern counties. II
double the amount OF property ie Civ
en- In for taxation the rate would be
lowered in proportion and the same
amount OF revenue produced. A law
to convert non-taxabie Indian lands
fntoftaxable homesteads would reduce
the taxes OF each individual tax payer
IN the state so per cent.

Oklahoma City, July 81 Governor
Oruce Monday appointed Fred
Parkinson OF Wagner. state exam
iner and inspector to succeed the
late Charles A. Taylor, who died
last week in Los Angeles
The appointment Of Parkinson
did not come as a surprise in ad-
ministration cincles for il had been
anticipated that the governor would
sccede to the wishes of John r. Will
liams, Don Lawhead, Ben Riley and
others of his intimate friends in the
matter of appointing an examiner
and inspector, 1t was a disappoint-
ment to the friends of Hugh Ger
ner, chief deputy examiner and in
spector. who has been in charge of
the office since Charles A. Taylor's
illness prevented him from taking
an active part in the direction OF
its affairs several months ago. Ger
ner had been indorsed by hundreds
of county officials and Governor
lCruce received scores of letters
from friends in various parts of the
state indorsing Gerner for the ,po-
sition. -
The appointment of Parkinson re-
the Woods county contro-
versy in which the Doolin and anti
Doolin forces have been engaged in
a struggle for supremacy in admin
istration circles for several months
Elmer France, leader of the anti
Doolin forces, has been a deputy un-
der Inspector Taylor and the APP
pointmcnt Of Parkinson would mean
the elimination of France.
France. however, handed in his
resignation to Gerner, July 20, the
day after Inspector Tayyor died.
This fact did not become generally
known until yesterday. 1t is said
that the appointment of Parkinson
marks the beginning of struggle
for supremacy between the admin
istration forces and those who have
been known as the leaders in anti
administration circles.
Parkinson is at present employed
in the school land department as an
inspector. He will take charge of
his new office August |. Il do not
know yet what changes will be
made in the office" he said yester
day. P
