The Dodson Saddlery Company of
Dallas, which has not kept a salesman

sent man here for the 1915 business.
The representative of the company
here is J. A. Walker of Greenville,

the largest travelling man in the state
and while he is large, he is very active.
He has a fund of strength and health
and good humor and the men who sell
leather goods will remember him af-
ter seeing him once. He will go over
his territory before deciding where
he will locate, but the pretty streets,
the good schools, the natural gas. and
the companionable people of Ardmore

ously of naming Ardmore as his head
quarters, without looking further Mr.
Walker left today to visit Overbrook

TAXATION ALL
STORED COTTON

NUE. LAWS so AS TO EXEMPT
STORED COTTON WILL BE REC.
OMMENOED.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 3l.-Amend
lnent of present revenue laws so as
to exempt from taxation for the year
1915 all cotton that is held in stor-
age by farmers for better prices will
be included in Governor elect r. L.
Williams recommendations to the
legislature, according to information
obtained from a thoroughly reliable
source Wednesday afternoon
The amendment recommended will
provide that all farm products 50
long as they are held by the pro
ducer, whether on his own premises
or elsewhere, shall not be subject to
taxation for the year of 1915. Cot
ton will be practically the only farm
product affected and the exemption
will apply to that product only so
long as it remains in the hands of
the producer. according to the pro-
posed recommendation of the COVER
nor elect.
Thousands of bales of cotton have
been stored in Oklahoma since the
market became demoralized as a
result of the European war. Most
of it is stored in bonded warehouses,
but title to it still remains in the
hands OF the producers.
Farmer members of the legislature
who called on the governor elect
Wednesday discussed the proposition
with him. it is understood. and he
gave them his assurance that he
would recommend the exemption Of
cotton from taxation, and use his
influence to see the exemption grant
ed through proper legislation. He
also assured his callers that he would
recommend and stand for other
things designed to help the farmer
during the depression brought about
by the war.
