nished the Indian committees by the
Indian bureau for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1916, contemplate ap-
propriations amounting to $9,533, 900,
about $250,000 less than appropriated
for last year Very few of the items

last year, to $125,000.
A total of $175,OOO is asked for

DEATH PENALTY QUESTION
IN THE SEIGLER CASE

Oklahoma City, Dec. 6.-Whether
Henry A. Seigler of Lawton, sentenc-
ed to die Dec. is, will receive a
stay of execution or commutation to
life Imprisonment from Governor
Cruce is matter of general in
terest
If the governor wishes to keep his
own administration as clear Of death
penalties as it has been, and yet
give the law an opportunity to take
its course, he may grant brief stay
to postpone execution until after Gov.
Williams inauguration.
Governor. Williams is not an anti
death penalty man. If the governor
wants to be certain that Seigler will
not suffer hanging for the murder Of
William A. Stanford, Comanche cour-
ty farmer, he must grant him a COM
mutation to life Imprisonment before

DECISION IN PRODUCTION TAX
is SAVING TO PRODUCERS

Oklahoma City, Dec. ct is es-
timated that the decision of the su-
preme court of the United States in
the gross production tax case against
the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Rail
way company will save coal produc-
ers of this state an aggregate of
$315,O00 in taxes that would have
been due had the law been sustained.
With the penalties added as provided
by law the tax now due, had the law
been upheld, would be about half a
million dollars.
Two gross production taxes have
been placed on the statute books
since statehood. The first, enacted in
1908, levied a tax of 2 per cent on
all coal marketed by coal companies.
In 1909 the tax was reduced to one
half of l per cent. Both taxes have
been resisted by the coal companies
The case decided by the supreme
court is an old action based wholly
upon the tax of 2 per cent. The
company involved in the instant case
was operating under a federal char

NEW OFFICERS
PREPARE To
TAKE CHARGE
ALL ARE EAGER TO GET INTO
THE HARNESS AND THE OLD
ONES ARE GLAD TO GET OUT
OF THE COURT HOUSE.

All of the county officers elect are
preparing to take their respective
places on the pay roll when the board
of county commissioners convene the
first Monday in January. Judge Cham
pion is coaching himself for the job
he won over his competitors, and
will be called upon to open the regu
lar term of the county court before
he has been in office fifteen minutes
as that tribunal convenes the first
Monday in January. Judge Freeman
will move over on the other side OF
the hall to the district judges cham
bers and be ready for business as II
appears. Fred Haynie will have bun
die of books and records to take over
from the county judges office and
will have nice lot of probate mat
ters TO keep straight, while he Is rest
ing between spells from his duties as
clerk of the district court. Shelton
Tyre, as county clerk, will also have
a lot OF records to look after, as the
office of clerk and register of deeds
has been consolidated, and there is
going to be some lively hustling on
the part of the employees allowed by
law in order to keep this department
in a flourishing condition.

before the people in the primary and
promised to do all the work in their
respective Offices or at least the most
of 1t, are going to find that promises
are far easier made than carried out,
and that they are going to have all
and more than they can do, to do the
work in their office with the deputies
allowed by law, and the chances are
that the force will have to be added to
right at the jump.
The legislature in its wisdom CD
sought to economize with the peo
pies cash by abolishing a lot of coun'
ty offices or rather consolidating them
very few of the ones higher up were
disturbed, and the result is going to
be that in all probability some of the
laws passed at the recent legislature,
are going to have to be repealed or
amended after the county officers be-
come aware of how futile their pre-
election promises are.
One county official stated yesterday
that he has had several years expert
ence in county work land he is also
one of the reelected ones) and that
he had no idea in the world that he
could do the work required in his Of
flee with the deputies allowed by law
He stated that he was willing to work
all the day and part of the time, il
necessary, but as he made no prom
ises to the people about doing all the
work of the county, he was going to
check it up to the county commission
ers if he fell short of keeping his
books and records up to the minute
The newly elected county officials
are planning for little banquet soon
after they are introduced into office
get together and talk matters over as
to the best manner of getting along
together for the next two years, the
outgoing officials seem satisfied that
their tasks have been we'll performed
and willing for others to take charge
for the next two years.

ter and in that respect occupied a
different position from some of the
other coal companies in this state.
Another point involved in the
courts decision wherein the, coal
company is held to be an instru-
mentality of the federal government
in carrying out its agreements with
the Indians affects all coal companies
in the state alike, so far as they are
operating on Indian lands. Most of
the coal of Oklahoma is from Indian
lands.

NORTH STAR CHANGES
Say Vega Will One Day
Be the Guiding Point.

Neptunes discovery in 1916 marked
the great triumph of mathematical as
tronomy. Uranus had failed to move in
its orbit precisely as predicted, and
astronomers were at loss to explain
the fault. The difference between the
predicted and the actual positions was
extremely slight from a naked-eye
viewpoint, but that there were differ
ences showed that something was
wrong. Two men. Adams of England
and Leverrier of France, independent
ly took up the solution of the problem,
and not only each arrived at the con-
clusion that planet exterior to Ura-
nus was causing the perturbation of
the latter, but each computed this
amazing accuracy.
The observatory to which Leverirer
sent his calculations was the first to
recognize the planet within very
short distance of where its position
had been figured. For many years
Adams was not given due credit for
this marvellous labors since, though his
calculations were completed months
before, those of Leyerrier the astron-
omer royal of England to whom Adams
sent his figures, was too methodical
a man to take up the search for this
supposed planet until it was too late to
be first 1t may be said that the two
men. Adams and Leverrier, fairly di-
vide the great honor.
The present north pole of the ce-
lestial sphere is close to bright star,
which is called in consequence Polaris,

about $4,000 years the earth's axis
describes circle on the celestial
sphere, so that 1900 years from now
Polaris will be far from being the
North Star, which honor will be held
by the bright star Vega of the Lyre
But, $4,000 years later, Polaris once
again will be in its present relative po-
sition to the north. Some 1000 years
ago Thuban of the Dragon was the
