WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER Of
INTEREST TO OKLAHOMANS

Washington, Sept 24.-tHubert l..
Bolin, recently named United States
internal revenue collector for Okla
homa, has received a much finer po-
sltion than he first supposed. Pend
ing in the house is a bill which in
creases the salaries of such officers
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year and it
is believed to be a certainty that
congress will enact this bit of legis-
lation in the near future, probably at
the present session, inasmuch as it
is so closely related to the enforce
ment OF the income tax features Of
the tariff bill. 1t is provided by the
income tax section OF the measure,
that the collection of the tax shall
fall upon the shoulders OF the inter
nal revenue collectors Because of
the additional work entailed, it is con
sidered fair by the Treasury depart

Not only will Oklahoma keep Fort
Sill, but the now famous army post
wi! be greatly improved within the
course of the next year, if plans of
the war department do not miscarry.
Senator Gore has requested that the
department of war make additions to
I the fort and he has been seconded in
his request by Representative Scott
Ferris. 1t is learned from authori-
tive sources that the war department
has approved expenditures of $4,000
at Fort Sill but when active work
will be started is purely a matter
of conjecture as congress must first
pass on the matter. The departments
great weight, and an appropriation
of such size as is needed, seems al
most sure.

consideration of the tariff and cur

Judge J. ]. Carney has until Sep

will have until October 2S to reply
further. Even though congress be in

busily engaged with currency reform
that it is hardly probable the COZ
