SALARIES Of
CITY DADS
MAYOR WILL ISSUE A PROClA-
NATION CALLING UPON TAX
PAYERS TO VOTE UPON THIS
PROPOSITION.

Mayor Roberts will issue a proc
lamation tomorrow calling upon the
taxpayers of the city to vote upon
the question of raising the salaries
of the city commissioners from two
dollars per melting to twenty five
dollars per month.
Some time ago petition was cir
culated by G. w. Ritter asking that
this raise be made and was signed
by practically every voter in the
city, many expressing themselves as
being in favor of making the salary
fifty dollars instead of twenty-five.
A city commissioner, under the
present system, was hard to secure

month, and the proposed raise, though
not large, will be better inducement
to get good men to serve.

SOCIETY MET
YESTERDAY
ANOTHER BUNDLE DAY WAS
MOST SUCCESSFUL - REPORT
OF SOCIETY FOR PAST MONTH
SHOWS MUCH GOOD DONE.

Yesterday afternoon the benevo-
lent society met with Mrs. julius
Kahn and the regular monthly report
was sumbitted. The report shows
that three hundred garments have
been distributed by the society to
seventy five families within the past
month. 1t also shows that seventeen
families have been supplied with gro
ceries and fuel, as well as books
purchased out of the fund donated
by two of the county commissioners
for this purpose and placed in the
hands of children who are now in
school.
Yesterday was "Bundle Day" with
the society and number of articles
were received. One baker of the
city donated several loaves of fresh
bread, which was most acceptable.
Mrs. Curtis, the county probation
officer, who is also an active worker
in the society, stated this morning
that the people generally were aiding
the society in its work and great
deal of suffering has been allayed by
their generosity.

day at the Theatorium. The house

LAND TAX
LAW KILLED
IN HOUSE
HOUSE BY BIG MAJORITY TURN
ED DOWN BILL WHICH PREvI-
OuSLY HAD PASSED THE SEN
ATE BY A BIG MAJORITY.

Robt. f. Scivally received a tele
phone message yesterday evening in
forming him that the graduated land
tax bill had been overwhelmingly
killed in the house When this bill
was presented in the senate, it passed
almost unanimously and when the
house passed on it, it was killed al
most unanimously. This does not rep
resent so much the different views by
| legislators, but it means that more
| thought was given the matter before
| it was voted on in the house.
The defeat of the bill was prob
ably due more to Robert f. Sciyally
of this city than to any other man
who is not "A member of the legisla-
ture. Mr. Scivally owns something
over 1880 acres of land in Carter
and Murray counties. This land lies
mostly in the Arbuckle muntains. He
| showed to members of the legisla-
ture that "A bill such as had been pass
ed by the senate, would put him out
of business, that it would force him
to dispose of his mountain lands, he
showed them that these mountain
lands are not worth anything to the
| benefit He argued that the small
! stoCkman IS just as much an asset of
of protection that the small farmer
needs. Mr.. Scivally further showed
to the legislature that there is no
criminal boarding of lands on the In
dian Territory side of the state. The
lands are cheaper here than in any
other state in the Union, land owners
are willing to sell at reasonable prices
and on favorable terms, but condi-
| tions here with reference to crop
/ failures and land titles have made
purchasers scarce and have cheapen-
ed lands, and it would not be short
of criminal act to force land owners
to throw their lands upon an unwill-
| ing market.
The Ardmoreite expressed opposi.
tion to the measure from the start.
There is no necessity of such law on
this side of the state. We need ten
thousand times more a rural credit
plan first to place money in the hands
of men who would like to own and
cultivate farms. This paper believes
that men who plow should own their
land, but it is necessary for them to
receive help in owning such land be-
fore it is necessary to ruin the large
land holders who have in good faith
invested their money and pay their
taxes in this state.
The house of representatives is to
be congratulated upon the sensible
view it took of the bill

peated attacks by the Austrians.
Except in front of the fortress Of
Ossowetz, which they are still bonn
harding with their heavy guns, the
Germans, according to the Russian
official reports, have turned their
backs upon the Russian railways
their first objective when they emerg-
ed from east Prussia on the heels
of the retreating Russians a short
time ago.
In some places, however they are
fighting stubborn rear guard actions
which have led to close and severe
fighting.
The Russian offensive extends
across Poland to the lower Vistula,
where the Russian troops are hold
ing back the Germans, who threaten
their lines south of the river.
For the moment, however, the Car
pathians is the scene of the heaviest
fighting. The Austrians, who de-
spite their repeated defeats and heavy
losses, seem to have never ending
source of supply, have returned to
the offensive and, with the aid of
large artillery reinforcements, have
descended on the Russians at the
Ondawa and San rivers.
This, according to the Russian ac-
count, was without any result, but
Austrian headquarters says that it
will in time have its effect.
The battle continued all day Sun
day, and when it was ended the
slopes of the mountains and the raw
ines were strewn with dead.
At other points along the mountain
ranges similar attacks were delivered
and most desperate fighting occurred
This was especially so on the hill
near Kozciowka, which the Austro-
Germans have been trying for weeks
to capture, as it stands in the way
of their invasion of eastern Galicia.
Still further to the east, near the
town of Stanislau, which once again
is reported to be in Russian hands,
the armies have met and the Rus
SLAMS declare that the Austrians have
been forced to retire.
Despite all this heavy fighting in
the east, the Germans are reported
to be sending strong reinforcements
to the west for a new attempt which
they are to make to break through
the allies lines in France and Flan-
ders. The people of the towns of
Belgium have been warned to pre-
pare to billet large number of
German soldiers, which can mean
nothing but that Germany is making
preparations for another great eff
fort.
The troops in the trenches are not
altogether allowing the grass to grow
under their feet. The British. fol-
lowing the example of the Belgians,
have shown some activity and have
captured a German trench near La
Bassee. the credit for this going to
the men of Princess Patricia's light
infantry, the first Canadians to reach
the front, who have been in at least
two previous engagements.
The French continue their ag-
in the Champagne re-
gion. and, according to their COM
have won the distinc-
tion of having the German guards |
regiment with other reinforeements |
sent to check them.
