Boyle Objects to Convict Miners.

Boyle Objects to Convict Miners.
Any attempt on the part OF the
board of PRISON control TO mine coal
at the penitentiary will be met with
the demand from Chief Mine lnspec.
tor Ed. Boyle that the state laws
concerning coal mining be strictly
complied with. If the statutes are
not evaded, and Boyle says that he
will see to 1t personally that they are
not, then there will be no coal mined
by state convicts, and the plan of the
board OF prison control to condemn
land at the penitentiary and work con-
victs in the mines will not materialize.
The attorney general has already
began condemnation proceedings in
the district court of Pittsburg county
relative to forty acres Of land EN-.
braced in the penitentiary grounds
which Is underlaid with coal. 1t is
the intention Of the board, through
the warden. to employ convicts to
mine the coal and furnish all state
institutions with it, the claim being
that coal can be so furnished so
much cheaper than under the present
system of paying other mining COM
panies for it.
Inspector Boyle quotes the session
laws of 1907 and 1908, which says in
Section l, Article 6:
I'm no event shall convicts of this
state ever be employed in any coal or
mineral mines Of this state, other
than stone or other material as will
be necessary for the construction and
maintenance of the public highways
or public works of this state"

Decision On Bank Assessments.

Decision On Bank Assessments.
Banks that endeavor to be assessed
at less than their fair cash value were
dealt hard blow by Justice r. H.
Loofbourrow in an opinion handed
down in the supreme court sustaining
the action of the state board Of equal
ization in an order directing county
tax officers to assess banks at their
full value. The opinion is given in
the case OF the First National bank
Of Chickasha versus w. T. Cloud,
county treasurer, in which application
was made for an injunction to pro-
hibit assessing the bank at its full
value.
Since statehood, according to the
opinion, 1t has been the custom OF the
taxing officers of Grady county to as
sess all taxable property at about 20
per cent OF its fair value, when the
law says all property shall be assessed
at its fair full value. The banks in

their capital stock, undivided profit
and surplus and then deducted 25 per
cent, returning valuation of only rs
per cent. This was done, according
to the opinion. through >"connivance"
with the county commissioners
In the case of the First National
bank, the county assessor refused to
accept the return, showing only 70
per cent of the banks value, and in
creased the valuation rs per cent over
that returned. The county commits
sioners, sitting as county board of
equalization, reduced the valuation %
per cent, putting It back to the orig
inal return made by the bank.
In the meantime the state board Of
equalization issued an order directing
county tax officers to assess banks at
their full value. The bank applied
for an injunction to enjoin the tax of
fcers from assessing it at its full
value. The injunction was denied by
District Judge Frank M. Bailey and
his decision is affirmed by the higher
court. All justices concur in the en-
tire opinion except Judge Hayes He
concurs in the conclusion but not in
the reason on which the conclusion is
reached.
