RUSSELL'S DECISION
IN LAND CASE
HOLDS THAT CONTRACTS MADE
UNDER ARKANSAS LAW STILL
ARE GOVERNED BY THAT LAW.

Judge Stillwell II. Russell rendered
a decision here Friday that will be
of much Importance to this side OF
the state. He holds that contracts
which began under the Arkansas stat
utes before statehood, are governed
by the Arkansas law and not by the
Oklahoma law. The opinion will have
a far-reaching effect for good in this
portion of the state. The facts lead
ing up to the case are about these:
Suit was filed by two Indians against
Eddleman 4 Graham of Marietta for
the possession of parcel of land
located a few miles south of Ardmore
in this county Eddleman & Graham
bought the land from what was pre-
sumed to be a sole heir, who was
the husband of deceased wife. The
suit was filed in 1913 about nine years
after the purchase. The plaintiffs
claimed to be nephews of the deceas-
ed and set up claim to a portion OF
the land. The statutes of Arkansas
under which Indian Territory was
placed before statehood, provides that
seven years of peaceable possession
of land prohibits the establishment of
a valid claim against it. Or in other
words, where a person had not set up
claim to lands for that period of time,
he was estopped from doing so. The
Oklahoma statutes provide fifteen
years of time instead of seven. This
contract was made when the country
was governed by the Arkansas law,
and Judge Russell held that the con
stitution of this state prohibits the
disturbance of any rights that exist
ed at the time of the adoption of the
fundamental law, and that Eddleman
&, Graham were entitled to have their
suit tried under the Arkansas stat
uutes and awarded the land in contro-
verse them. The decision is I'M
portant for the reason that it will
keep down many old claims, and will
prohibit shysters from disturbing the
people in the rights to their property.

QUESTION Of
TAX ON COTTON
COTTON OWNED JANUARY FIRsT
is SUBJECT TO TAXATION,
SAYS COUNTY OFFICER.

In speaking of the controversy
that has arisen over the question OF
the county assessor making a record
of cotton in the local compress yard
prominent county official salu
yesterday:
Cotton held and owned in this
county. like any other property, is
subject to taxation as of January |.
Heretofore no cotton has been as
sessed owned by persons who owned
and held the same in the local yards
and at the compress. In order to
ascertain the ownership of such cot
ton the county assessor immediate
ly after the 18th of January assessed
all cotton held in possession of the
compress company against unknown
owners-the compress company being
unable TO give the names of such
owners-and notified the company as
the agent of such owners not 10 per
nit the same to be removed until
the same had been listed to the real
owner or the tax thereon paid. This
applied, however, only to such cotton
as was stored with the company
prior to January |, and in its pos
session on that date Cotton deliver
ed subsequent to that date was in
no way affected nor is any cotton
affected not assessed and in the yard
at that time; that is to say, no
cotton sold on the streets or else
where after the first of January is
by this assessment of the
cotton at the compress. 1t was the
purpose of the assessor to reach
and assess cotton that was about
to be removed from the county, and
to enforce the tax on that cotton,
which otherwise would escape tax
alton.
owners or the cotton so assessed
at the compress are going to the
assessor and listing the cotton own
ed by them, and the assessor i'm
releases the compress com
pany as agent from any liability.
1t is not the purpose to collect the
tax on this cotton before the same
is due where the owner is made
known and the same listed for as

reach that property which otherwise
would be shippe: cut CT the county,
and when the assessor made his
