WHO HAS BEEN ExTRAvAeANT?

John Fields, republican candidate
for governor and the republican
press, are working overtime these
days to show that the democratic
administration since statehood has
been eXtravagant.
There are two ways of compar.
ing this administration to see wheth.
er or not these charges are well
founded. one way is to compare
the cost of maintaining Oklahoma
with the cost of other western
states of like size and like popula.
ton. Another way is to compare
the cost of maintaining Oklahoma
under democratic administration
since statehood with the republican
administration before statehood.
1t must be admitted that local
taxes have necessarily been high,
and that state taxes have been high
er in the past seven years than will
be necessary during the next seven
for the reason that during the past
seven years we have had to build
a large number of state institutions,
educational, penal and charitable,
and have put into these institutions
valuation of more than ten mill
ion dollars, which was largely taken
from the taxes paid by the people.
The taxes levied for territorial pur-
poses during the last seven years
of republican rule in the territory
were as follows:

The first game law for the protcc.
tion OF wild animals and birds was
enacted in l0GS by William the Con-
queror. This decree OF the Norman
6ing was called forest law, but its
principal purpose was the preserya.
tion of game. Forfeiture of property
was made a penalty for killing or dis.
abling any kind of wild beast, while
the slayer of stag, buck or boar,
II convicted, had his eyes put out.
These laws, of course, applied only to
the masses, since the royalty and no.
bility were permitted to kill as much
as they pleased In fact, the princi-
pal purpose of the pioneer game law"
was to provide sport for the few. The
first parliamentary game law in Eng
land was passed in 1896. Game laws
in America have become increasingly
strict OF late years, but they were
adopted too late TO save many species,
notably the buffalo, from almost COM
plete extinction.

THE BABY
BEEF SHOW
This Class Will Play Prominent
Part at Ft. Worth Exhibition.

From its inception in the minC
of famous livestock expert onl,
two years ago, the baby move
ment has spread like wildhrt
throughout the Southwest anC
today it is recognized as one O.
the most potent factors in the
work OF saving the country from
meat famine. A most compre,
hensive knowledge OF the pro.
gress of this great movement, SC
all-important to the cattle in
dustry of the future, may be
gained by a visit to the Ma
tional Feeders and Breeders
show, which will be held in Fort
Worth October 10 to II.
At the last spring show in Fort
Worth, in March, 1910, baby beef
had its first recognition at the
hands of Texas great live stock
exposition. There were only
twelve entries. The date of the
show was changed to fall and
baby beef was again included in
the prize list. This time there
were about sixty entries. In .the
meantime, the boys and girls
baby beef club movement had
been spreading throughout the
state. The total membership in
this state alone Of youngsters
between the ages of eight and
eighteen was more than 1000.
This falls show will see at least
500 to 600 entries in the baby
beef classes, for which liberal
prizes have been offered. The
baby beef clubs of Brown and
Coleman counties alone have
asked for 100 entry blanks each.
The baby beef club membership
in Texas now mounts into the
thousands and bankers, mer-
chants and progressive stockmen
are furnishing the means where
by the youngsters of the COM
munity may start in business
with a calf or so.
The National Feeders and |
Breeders show keeps we'll in
touch with the trend of livestock !
in the Southwest.
Nothing worthy fails of recog-
milton. Magnificent exhibits of
Jersey and feeder cattle are an
ticipated, exclusive of the usual
show of beef cattle.
All of the old exhibitors and
many new ones will be on hand
with their herds this year, accord
ing to information received by the
management of the show, and the
Stall-space in the vast stables is
being taxed.
Hogs, sheccp and horses will
be on hand in even greater num-
Der than i'll the past. The aristo-
rats OF the feeding pen and the
product OF the range have been :
