Twenty Fourth Anniversary.

High nooa today marked the twen-
ty-fourth anniversary of the opening
to settlement of old Oklahoma. On
the 22nd day of April, 1889, just as
the clocks hands pointed to the hour
OF twelve, over one hundred and fifty
thousand men and women who were
assembled upon the border, were Civ
en- the word and raced madly across
into the promised land"
Only twenty-four years-not yet a
quarter of a century-and see what
oklahoma, as a state is today. Since
=. time Oklahoma Territory has
joined hands with the old Indian Ter
ritory and today, as the great new
state, is attracting this attention on
account of the numerous and limit
less natural resources of both the
original territories from which it was
made, and is walking fast toward the
front of the agricultural states of the
nation. We feel that no one who is
informed upon the subject will gain
say us when we assert that the his
tory of the western world does not
show another instance of such rapid
growth and such phenomenal develop
ment as is shown by Oklahoma.

COMPLETED TARIFF REVISION
PRESENTED TO HOUSE BY THE
COMMITTEE.
INCOME TAX
Plan to Make income Tax the Means
cf Adjusting accurately the funds
Necessary to be Raised for Govern
.ment Expenditures. ... -. .....

Washington, d. c., April 22.-Pre-
senting the completed democratic tar
iif revision bill to the house today,
the democratic members of the ways
and means committee recommended
radical readjustment of the entire
fiscal policy of the nation.
They proposed to make the income
tax the means of adjusting accu-
rately the funds to be raised by taxa
ton to correspond with the necess-
ties for government expenditures.
The democrats in outlining their
policy in preparation of the bill, an
nounced an absolute disregard for
the cost-of production theory as reg
ulatiye of the tariff rates and de-
clared that in the pending bill they
had attempted to eliminate the pro-
lection Of profits and to cut off the
duties which enabled the industrial
managers to exact a bonus for which
no equivalent is rendered"
Discussing the democratic theory
for tariff revision, the report de-
clares for the establishment of du
ties designed prinaily to produce rev.
enue without thought of protection
and for the attainment of this by
legislation that would not iniure or
destroy legitimate industry.

The road question has been the
biggest problem before the commits
sioners for the past year and has
been especially important during the
past three months. Although the
bonds were voted almost two years
ago no actual work has been done,
and this is expected to be started
in May. After the awarding of the
contracts the contractors are expected
tc get the material, men and teams

PLAN CRUISE FOR FLEET.
BattIeships Are To Be Sent to Med
itsrranean for Three Months.

Washington, April 21-Secretary
Daniels announced today that next
winter practically the entire Allan
tic fleet would be sent on a three
months cruise to the Mediterranean
This will be the new secretary's first
step in pursuance of his policy to
make the navy in times of peace a
great educational force for the enlist.
ed men and to afford them oppor-
tunity to enjoy the broadening ad-
vantages of first-hand knowledge of
the great countries of the world.
The secretary believes such a
cruise will add greatly to the sailors
usefulness. Il believe we should Of
fer to the enlisted men every oppog-
tunity which lies in our power to
obtain knowledge of other countries
from personal observation, he said
today. "The cruise will be so timed
as to give every man in the fleet
shore leave at every port of entry"
Mr.. Daniels also appreciates the ad-
vantages from a technical standpoint
that the officers of the fleet will
gain in a long cruise of this kind
where various maneuvers can be car
ried out and many experiments can
lbe executed under actual service
conditions.
Instead of the usual annual winter
maneuvers at Guantanamo, Cuba, the
whole leet,including the torpedo aobt
destroyers and auxiliaries, will make
the foreign cruise. There will be at
least twenty-one battleships, probably
the new dreadnoughts, Tex.
as and New York, with an aggregate
OF about 375,OOO tons.
The fleet will leave about the first
Of January and cross the Atlantic,
stopping at the Azores or
Madeira Islands to Gibraltar. There
he ships will be- divided into squad
rons and sent to visit the principal
ports Of the Mediterranean. The
exact dates and details OF the VOYAGE
have not been definitely determined.

FIRST DECORATIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN DONE THERE IN TWEEN
# TY YEARS. -
IS TRULY A WORK OF ART
Paper Used in the Cove That Has
Been in Stock in the City for More
Than Thirty Years-No Services
There Sunday.

At noon today Oscar E. Glenn, dec

First Presbyterian church, U. s. A.,
to the committee which was appoint
ed some time ago by the congrega-
ton to have the church repapered
and reprinted on the inside, and its
inside decorations are among the
prettiest in the city.
The seats, wainscoating, woodwork
of the organ and other inside wood
work has all been cleaned and. var
hished until it looks like entirely new
furniture
The walls are covered with a paper
of brown imported oatmeal color, top
ped with border of tan and brown.
The ceiling is Of a bright silver ana
cream with a rich steel effect, and a
heavy tan freize.
The cove is really the prettiest OF
the decorations, and this is put in
with paper that is claimed to have
been in stock for more than thirty
years. 1t is of a rich cream, copper
and gold design and harmonizes beau
tifully with the other decorations.
The vestibules have green walls
with the other decorations in similar.
ity with the church proper.
Mr.. Glenn was assisted in the work
of these decorations by Messrs. Wilt
son Frierson and George and Walter
Reese, and 1t is finished job.
The work would have been much
earlier but there was decision to
change the papering of the walls after
the work was begun, which brought
about some delay.
There win be no, services at the
church Sunday, but it Awill be in
readiness for services on the follow
ing Sunday.
The seating will be arranged and
carpets laid during the coming week,
which will put it in fine condition.
This was the FIRST repairing and pa
pering that has been done at that
church in twenty-one years.
