STOCK
BLIND LIT TED
CORPORATIONS CAN NOT EVADE
TAXATION ON ITS REAL ES-
TATE BY HIDING.

Muskogee, Okla, June 11.-Judge
Thomas Leahy in test case brought
by a local firm of merchants today
held that under the Oklahoma law a
corporation can not evade taxation on
its real estate holdings by hiding be-
hind capital stock. Neither shall cur
rent debts be deducted for stocks of
merchandise for taxation purposes.
Corporations had been evading the
tax on their real estate by giving in
their entire capital stock for assess.
ment, and then declining to pay on
real estate on the grounds that,
corporation can not be assessed for
taxation for an amount greater than
its total capital stock.
Even banks were escaping taxa
ton on their bank buildings in this
manner by insisting on paying taxes
on their full capital stock. Under the
decision today they must pay on all
their capital and real estate in addi-
ton.

ROBERT A. ROGERS
WAS SURE Of JOB
FRIEND WHO BORROWED MONEY
ON STRENGTH OF CABINET Po-
SITlON is IN BAD.

Oklahoma City, June 11.-Testi-
mony in the preliminary trial of T.
E. Robertson, an attorney charged
with obtaining money on false pre-
court today, developed the fact that
r. A Rogers believed that he was
sure of an appointment as secretary
of the interior under President Will
son.
Robertson is alleged to have told
F. W. Fischer another attorney, that
he would be given a position by
Rogers that would pay not less than
$4,000 year as soon as Rogers took
his place in the cabinet and on the
strength of this promise of a job
borrowed $3.50 from Fischer to pay
expenses of a trip to Washington.
Robertson is alleged to have told
Fischer that lie had received a tele-
gram from Rogers telling him to
come to Washington Immediately.
The prosecution alleges that no
such telegram was sent by Rogers.
Evidence was admitted concerning
dinner which Rogers is said to have
given to a few friends in the Skirvin
hotel at which he declared that he
was sure OF place in the cabinet
and would take care of his friends.
This statement at the dinner was
offered by the defense to show that
Robertson did not obtain the money
by false pretense but had ample rea-
son for believing that he would be
given a $4,000 job. The telegram
and dinner are alleged to have figured
prior to the Inauguration of Wood
row Wilson.
In summing up his evidence in de-
murrer against the states evidence,
Ross Lillard, attorney for thedefense,
declared that if Fischer had had the
sense of a hod carrier he would have
known that such prospective political
appointments werejrisky security on
which to loan money. Tie defense
also declared that the fact of Fischer
other signers of the note
on which the money was loaned Rob-
ertson showed that he was in doubt
concerning the appointment. The
trial was continued.

ing two binders and working day
and night, is the way James S. AL
verson is cutting his grain on his
fine farm near Glenn. The harvest
was ripe and rain fell every day
for almost a week. Mr.. Alverson
became a little nervous over the
situation but he never lost faith.
Just as son as the grain could be
bound into bundles >he began the
work of harvesting and is cutting
at the rate of eighty acres a day.
The stubble lands will be in fine
shape for the planting Of late crops
and the greater portion of this will
be planted to kaffir, June corn and
other forage crops. Some of the
stubble lands will however be re-
tanned for pasture lands during the
summer and fall.
Wheat growing is now one of the
big industries of the county, but
the acreage is being made larger
each year and there is vast acre
age in the county suitable for wheat
Profits have proven to be
good on this class of crops and the
chances are that the acreage will
be increased materially next year.
