STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OH Leases Non-Asse ssabIe.

Oklahoma City.-Holders of valu.
able oil and gas leases won signal
victory at the hands of the state SUI
preme court when that tribunal in an
opinion by Chief Justice Matthew J..
Kane, reversed the law laid down sew
-eral weeks ago by the then Chief JUS
tice Samuel ]. Hayes and declared oil
and gas leases, as such, are not sub
.ject to taxation, but the oil goes with
the land.
In the former opinion of the court
by Judge Hayes it was held that oil
and gas leases we're subject to ad
valorem taxation the same as other
property. The new opinion, which is
concurred in by all justices, holds d.
Tectly to the contrary.
Illuminating oil Case.
The original opinion and the re-
versal are given in the now famous
Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Co.
case, in which the company is fight
ing the valuation placed on its prop
erty by the state board of equaliza-
ton.
Kane holds, is vested in the legisla-
ture, and that there must be distinct
legislative authority for all taxes lev
led and collected.
"The legislature Of this state has
not selected oil and gas leases as such
as subject to taxation" reads the
opinion.
Where the legislature has omitted
to provide for assessment of certain
kinds Of property 1t is not within the
power or province of this court to
make such assessments. No property
can be assessed until the legislature
has made proper provisions for this
purpose"
Statue Problematlcal.
To what extent this construction OF
the law will affect the state finan.
cially is problematical At the time
Of the opinion by Judge Hayes rend.
ering leases subject to taxation, 1t was
estimated that millions of dollars
could be turned into the state treasury
in back taxes and in current taxes
from that source.
Tax ferrets in the eastern part Of
the state had become active in hav'
ing leases placed on the tax rolls Of
the different counties where they are
located. Their activity in this direc-
Non it is expected will necessarily
have to be abandoned.
Oil and gas, however, does not es'
cape taxation under the ruling Of the
court in the new opinion. While the
oil and gas is under the earth's sur.
face Judge Kane holds 1t should be
assessed as part OF the property OF
the person owning the land where the
oil and gas is located. After the oil
Is produced, Judge Kane holds, it is
subject to the gross production tax
and should be paid by the person pro-
ducing it. If leases are assessed he
holds they should be assessed as part
of the property and not separately as
provided in the Hayes opinion.

that when an electric circuit was bro

thus the word are was adopted. All

of whote-hot carbon also add to the
brilliapcy. A mechanism is necessary
to feed in the carbons as fast az
they burn away. or otherwise the gar
would increase until the current could
not jump across and the light would

hare-brained maunderings Of a half
mad old negro?
The great iron gate Of Damory court
hung open, and scarcely slackening
her pace, she rode through and up
the long drive. The glooming house
front was blank and silent and Its
huge porch columns looked like lonely
gray monoliths in the wan light Not
twinkle showed at chink or Granny;
the ponderous shutters were closed.
There was a sense Of desertion, OF
emptiness about the place that
brought her heart into her throat with
a sickly horrible feeling of certainty.
She jumped down from the blowing
horse and hurried around the house
The door Of the kitchens was open
and a ladder Of dim reddish light fell
from it across the grass. She ran
swiftly and looked in. A huddled fig

YOU CAN SAVE MONEY
FAMOUS BELL STOPS ToLLING
Disaster That Seems Omen Of III Luck
to Brave Little Nation
of Belgium.

A night or two before the German
invasion called the whole of Belgium
to arms the biggest of the Ghent bel
fry bells, named Roelandt, after the
architect who built the town hall, was
tolling as usual when it was suddenly
reduced to dumbness and was found
to have sustained a crack about
twenty-five inches long and one-third
of an inch wide. It is supposed that
through the excessive heat the metal
had expanded and become unequal to
the violent beating of the new ham,
mers used since the restoration OF
the belfry two years ago.
The bell is one of the most celebrat.
ed in Belgium, and the belfry in which
it is hung is only equaled in celebrity
by that of Bruges, whose fame was
sung by Lengfellow. The belfry OF
Client is 375 feet in height to the top
of the spire, and contains A bells.
The one which is now, unfortunately,
cracked was originally made in 1914,
but was recast in 1869. 1t bore in
Flemish the inscription: my name is
Roelandt; when l toll then there is a
fire; when l peal there is victory
| in Flanders"
In 1889 the Austrians fired at the
belfry to prevent the citizens ringing
the alarm. The cannon hail hit one
of the bells and made hole in it, but
the tone is said to have remained un'
injured.

STYLES and Men.

This is-well, let's say amusing
this dictate of fashion that men must
wear in 1914 clinging garments--isn't
it? Because some of US must either
adopt pads or endure the mockery OF
the masses while parading in the
guise Of human scarecrows or Punch
and Judy shows-if clinging duds do
master masculinity. And some Of us
will lose one large subject Of conver-
sation and laughter, for we won't any
longer be able to criticize the gar.
ments of our sisters, wives and af1ni-
ties. If any one consideration can do
more than another to prevent the gem
eral adoption of tight styles for men
this loss of critical opportunity is like
ly to be the thing, isn't it? It never
will do to give ladies an opportunity to
turn the batteries of laughter on the
masculine half Of humanity, will itf
OF course a compromise may be ar
ranged-but compromises seldom wear
we'll, do they?-Detroit Free Press.

THROUGH LABOR TO SUCCESS
Man Who AttaIns Pre-eminenee In HE
Calling Generally Reaches II
by Slow Stages.

Few persons are so utterly unworld'
ly as to be contemptuous Of the ways
and means Of increasing their market
value. Charles SteinmetZ, master
electrician, proffers his recipe, which
has already undergone the pragmatic
test Of raising him from the direst
poverty to afiuence. ITO earn $780,
900 year do things other people
don't do" That is all there is to It..
1t is extremely simple. Be the one
man for the task. and the task Will
seek you, and the price that goes with
1t will be yours.
In every profession there are few
men who lead by no happy accident
of fortune, no pride Of birth, no favor
of exalted patronage. Their intrinsic
merit, manifested not as a sudden In
spiration nor as an occasional per-
formance, but day after day under the
strain of protracted effort, has put
them where they are. The inferior
material in the cheap man develops
a structural flaw somewhere, and he
goes to pieces where the strong man
endures and holds his peace and COM
pletes the work.
The pre-eminent in any calling are
looked upon with envy by the lesser
men. What does he do that cannot
do?" they ask, that he should earn
so much more than II" They do not
see that their own work, should they
/ fail, could find at short notice an &C
ceptable substitute. They are unwill
ing to recognize the long, slow travail
of the route another took to reach
his higher plane. What he does looks
easy because the schooling was inf
nitely arduous. Most men who car
do things other people don't do" have
risen by labor, not by luck.

GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce "No war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
Of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
1--WE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from 55 cents
per pound to much over dollar
"The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick Of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1,5OO.,
600 pounds of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply Of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade Of
rubber and the came amount Of it as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we snail
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

SHOES YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Products of the Modern Last Hardly
Justify the Poets Somewhat
Contemptuous Phrase.

The poet Whittier selected the shoe
as the symbol of maturity, the passing
of youth "The prison cells Of pride"
was the phrase in which he described
shoes, in that homely poem, with Purl-
tanic tones, "The Barefoot Boy"
The announcement that the United
States government will purchase near
Iy 100000 worth of shoes in st. Louis
for the Indian tribes that constitute
the wards of Uncle Sam within our
own borders tells the story, in bald
and unvarnished terms, of the Indians
graduation from the class of infancy
and his achieving of mans estate.
Gone is the moccasin, together with
the wigwam and the unsurveyed
wastes of prairie and forest. The shoe
has made it's appearance.
Getting back to Whittier's phrase
"the prison cells of PRIDE" we may
hint that the shoes of the Quaker
poets day were not made in St
Louis. They were often made by the
individual, who was his own shoe
maker, working with the leather he
had probably tanned himself.
Perhaps here and there an excellent
shoe resulted from that individual
method of workmanship; but it needs
but a slight exercise of the imagina
ton to convince us that as rule q
shoe was terribly and wonderfully
made under the old processes They
must have been ill-fitting, often-anc
an ill-fitting shoe is far more than
prison cell of pride" 1t is an instru
ment of torture.-St. Louis Times.
