Figures obtained by State Auditor
Leo Meyer, from the state auditors of
Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado, and Iowa
show that state taxes in Oklahoma are
lAuch lower than in any Of these
states, In the five years covering the
period of statehood in Oklahoma, Kan
sas has levied in ad valorem taxes
. "a million dollars more than Okla
homa, or more than a million dollars
more than this state. II Oklahoma had
levied the same amount of taxes for
the last five years as Kansas, the
state could pay the million and half
dollar debt inherited from the terri
tory, and take up every outstanding
warrant and still have nice balance
In the treasury. The highest state
levy in Oklahoma was 2 1-2 mills in
1909. For the past five years the low
est levy n Iowa was $40 mills, in
Colorado four mills, and in Nebraska
five mills.

If the whole truth were known it is
likely that the various persons inter
ested in the Steel Trust contributed
altogether not less than half million
dollars for Col. Rooseveit's 1904 cam
paign. These contributors were glad
" accepted and the money spent Col.
Roosevelt, as president prevented the
prosecution Of the steel trust under the
Sherman law, and gave his sanction
to the absorption of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company Here is a
conclusive chain of evidence showing
liberal financial support from the great
est of all trusts, and ample compensa-
tion for the money spent, in the form
of special favors at the hands OF the
president of the United States. In no
other instance in American history is
there anything approaching so nearly
to the corrupt purchase of the power

Among the many prophets who have
lately been predicting return of bus.
mess prosperity there is one whose
voice speaks with special authority
We refer to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, whose recent an.
nouncement that the crops throughout
the United States promise to be Of un-
usual abundance will do more to stim-
ulate confidence in the business world
than any official announcement that
has emanated from Washington for
many months past Not that the agri-
cultural department has made any
definite prediction of revival of bust
ness, for that dotes not come within
its province; but 1t is so generally un-
derstood nowadays that thriving agri-
culture is the basis of general bust
ness prosperity that the announce
ment of bumper crop has come to
be taken as equivalent to a prediction
of prosperous year.

for him by the democratic state com

ports that he met with much encour.
agement and found prospects very
bright for democratic landslide in
November. After filling the appoint
ments in Oklahoma made by the state
committee, Mr.. Weaver will spend an
other week in the north, when he will
return and devote the remainder of
his time to the cause of democracy in
this state, speaking every day. Mr..
Weaver is an orator Of rare ability,
having few equals and no superiors in
the state, and the national committee
is very fortunate in securing his as
sistance.
Ten per cent of the signatures of
the Bull Moose petition filed with the
secretary of the state of Nebraska are
the names of persons in the state pen
itentiary or the insane asylum. This
fact was made public fe wdays since
as a result of an investigation of the
list made by the Nebraska newspa-
pers. When the Bull Moose conven-
tion was called to order it was found
that the petition was short several
names of the required num-
Der and the convention adjourned
while the signatures were obtained. 1t
is supposed that those who were sent
out to get the signatures took advan-
tage of the large number of men at
the penitentiary and asylum and filled
out the petition at those places.

HE woRkMEN.

One works all day and earns two
dollars and when the toilsome day is
spent, his cheap tin dinner pail he
collars and homeward goes, serene,
content. AS he devours his evening
pottage he counts the blessings he en-
joys, he has a neat, unmortgaged cot
tage, well filled with happy girls and
boys; his wife, with disposition sunny,
is singing as she prances around; each
week he save a little money and puts
it safely in the pound. In worldly
blessings he's as wealthy as any plute
in all the land; he thanks his gods that
he is healthy. and always has a job on
hand. One works an hour and earns
ten dollars, and then cavorts around
the town, and wrings his hands and
shrieks and hollers, and tells how he
Is trampled down. He is, he says, the
martyred victim of grafters who too
long have sinned; the Wall Street
barons deftly kicked him, and govern
ment sat by and grinned. His feelings
have been badly dented, his dearest
corns are sadly pinehed, and he will
never be contented until some con-
gressmen are lynehed, The men with
pockets full of guilders are they who
