DECISION
is AGAINST
The BANK

Oklahoma City April S.--The state
supreme court yesterday upheld the ac-
tion of the state board Of equalization
in 1912 in directing the assessor Of
Grady county to assess the property
of Chickasha National bank of Chicka-
sha at 100 per cent of it's actual value
instead of only rs per cent, as ordered
by the Grady county equalization
board The bank sought to enjoin the
county treasurer, W. t. Cloud, from
collecting the taxes based on the 100
per cent valuation, but Judge Bailey
OF the district court OF Grady county
refused to grant the injunction, from
which court order the bank appes d
to the supreme court.
The record in this case shows that
prior to 1912, and since statehood, 1t
had been the custom in Grady county
for the taxing officers to cause the
taxable property of that county each
year TO be valued at rs per cent Of its
fair cash value, as basis upon which
levies were made for the purpose Of
raising revenues for the state, county
and municipal governments.
In 1912, the banks in Grady county
added their capital stock, undivided
profits and surplus, and deducted Is
per cent therefrom and returned to
the assessor as per cent of the cash
value as a basis upon which to levy
taxes. The county assessor increased
same to 100 per cent of the capital
cash value, but the county board OF
commissioners, acting as a board Of
equalization, reduced it by % per cent
Thereafter the state board of equal
ization made certain changes in the
valuation OF the property in Grady
county and directed that the valuation
OF banks be raised to the actual cash
value. The directions were contained

SALE DAY

That the first Monday free sale day
will be continued was the decision
reached at the meeting Of the Retail
Merchants association last night at
the office Of the secretary. A year ago
the merchants entered into contract
to contribute stipulated amount of
money each month for the maintain
ance of the sale. The contract has
just expired and the meeting last night
was for the purpose of determining
whether or not it should be renewed
That the merchants have bten pleas
ed with the result of the sale day was
evidenced by the fact that practically
every merchants remains in the asso
citation, and is infavor of continuing
the sale. Talk was also started in
favor of putting on July 4th, celebra-
ton, and to make it real show. No
definite action was taken on this mat.
ter, however. There is plenty of time,
but the merchants are for starting the
ball a-rolling now and have all plans
completed in advance.

The condition of many of them was

business men raised fund to aid the
refugees. The federal prisoners will
be enrolled in the rebel army.
Despite expression of Washingtons
unofficial displeasure at the expulsion
Of the Spanish colony from Torreon,
the purpose of the rebel leaders in this
regard is unshaken. 1t is learned from
an authoritative rebel source that Gen
Carranza and Gen. villa are in thor
ough accord on the subject and that
Spanish subjects throughout the re-
public as fast as other states may fall
into constitutionalist hands will be
treated as at Torreon and Chihuahua
George c. Carothers is known TO

Spanish question Tuesday. The Amer

tion conferred for half hour. When
Carothers emerged be was besieged
by anxious inquirers, but he rushed to
his automobile without answering
questions. shaking his head negatively
The purport of the conference leak
ed out late Tuesday through sources
which have heretofore proved reliable.
1t was said Carothers informed Car
rama that the summary expulsion of
the Spaniards was considered gravely
at Madrid and without favor at Wash
ington.
The general replied that evidence of
Spanish conspiracy against the revolu-
tion was overwhelming in all parts OF
the country and that their expulsion
was not only just but the part of wis
dom.
He pointed out that popular suspic-
ion against these foreigners was so
general and deep seated that their ex-
pulsion at least would remove them
from danger at the hands of an in
censed soldiery. The troops generally
are well under discipline, he explained,
but individual exceptions We're to be
considered.
