sidering the vast sums that have gone as

ried foreign noblemen, this is not an un-
natural assumption. but the Englishman
goes too far in imagining that nearly
every wealthy American would jump at

y Very Interesting Suggestion by an English Writer

A PROMINENT English writer, Mr..
n Raymond Radcliffe, has suggested
that a tax should be put on titles
for the purpose Of helping TO raise the
enormous sums needed by England for
the war.
In addition to putting tax on the
present noblemen, Mr.. Radcliffe proposes
that titles should be sold at a certain
price to all vino are willing to pay for
them beginning with $4,000 year for
the august title OF duke and ranging
down to $500 year for the simple prefix
Of honorable
The details OF Mr.. Radcliffe's article,
which are printed here with, are very
ingenious and convincing. 4 familiarity
with English history and customs will
show that there is nothing absurd about
the proposition. The present order of
baronets was established by King
James !. to raise money. He undoubtedly
sold the titles to all who would pay for
them. The titles thus sold are now the
most distinguished OF their rank In Eng

number OF Americans would be willing to

cific ocean, by teaching them to dress

been detrimental from a standpoint
of health, and The colonial office now
announces that it is doing its best
to persuade the natives to go back
to their former habits. The old meth
cd of rubbing the hody, bare save for

was the best protection against chills
and the cotton smock for women and

therefore condemned as responsible

CLAIM LAND MORTGAGES
SHOULD NOT BE TAXED

Oklahoma City, July 10.-Insurance
companies which have large sums
loaned in Oklahoma on real estate
mortgages are protesting and filing
suits in the coIrts to restrain taxing
authorities of the counties from as
sessing their mortgage investments in
Oklahoma. They maintain that the
mortgage tax of this state is the only
tax that can be legally collected from
they hold in this state. 1t has been
held by John Embry, county attorney
of this county. that the assessment
against the insurance companies that
they complain about is not on their
mortgages as such, but on the money
ed capital they employ in Oklahoma.
The low mortgage tax that is as
sessed by law in this state was en-
acted in order to encourage invest
ment OF money in Oklahoma. 1t is in
lieu of other taxes according to the
terms of the statute. II amounts to
1Oc on each $1GO where the mortgage
is for five years or more, Sc on the
800 where the mortgage is for four
years and less than five. &c on the
500 where the mortgage is for three
years and less than four. &c on the

years and less than three, &c on the

hAPiD GROWTH OF CHIEF
SUBSIDIARY OF STANDARD

Pemeta, Okla, July 10.-The Carter
Uil company, which secured charter
in Oklahoma only last September, has
had rapid g"owth in the oil field,
and today it is the owner of some of
the most valuable producing proper
ties and the biggest tank farms in
the entire field This would indicate,
TOO, that the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey is to be main factor
In this field henceforward.
When the Carter company began
operations only few weeks ago, it
was with the purchase from John H,
Markham Jr., of the Eliza Yarhola
and the Luther Manuel leases-two of
the biggest oil producing allotments
in the field-for a reported price of
$2,O00,0OO: soon afterward the Carter
bought the steel tankage of the White
& Sinclair interests, thus acquiring
some OF the biggest tank properties
in the southwest.
The Carter Oil company, according
to oil men, is the chief subsidiary at
the present time of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey The list OF
its stockholders filed in Oklahoma
City last September, as required by
law, showed that Col. John Carter,
the president, and four or five other
directors, held one share of stock
each, the remainder belonging to the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey.
All of these facts show that the big
interests are acquiring a substantial
holding in Oklahoma.
Has Pipe Line Company Also.
Another direct subsidiary of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
which is fast becoming an important
factor in this locality, is the Okla
homa Pipe Line company, which has

ENEMIES OF WORkMEN'S
COMPENSATION ACT

1t was the nalura' thing to expect
when the democrats of Oklahoma full
filed their platform pledges and wrote
into the statutes of the state a care
fully drawn workmen's compensation
act that those interests opposed to
social justice and antagonistic to leg
islation that placed the human ele-
ment in our business and manufacture
ing life on par at least with the
interests of property, would take ev-
cry means but fair and open attack
to discredit the law anG embarrass
the party in power from carrying out
its provisions but it was scarcely
believed that an intelligent newspaper
editor although a republican, and
hence opposed to any kind of relief
that came through a democratic
source, would openly antagonize the
law before it had been fully put into
operation by making an insidious at
tack on the honorable gentlemen who
have been chosen as members of the
commission to administer the law
And yet that is what the always
erratic and partisan, though some
times rational editor of the Enid
Events, Everett Purcell, has attempt
ed to do with the members of the
new industrial commission which be-
gan its existence on July l. The
Enid editor grows violent because the
law provided fc- the appointment two
months before the law became opera
tive between employer and employe.
AS a matter of fact, this will hardly
give the commission time to perfect
its organization, acquairt itself with
its duties, and be prepared to start
off on September l with the onerous
and complex duties that will devolve
upon them at that time. The truth
is, however, that it was not out OF
consideration sor the commission or
to give them two months salary at
easy work, as the Enid man charges,
that led 10 this provision in the bill,
although the time given the commits
sion to fully equip itself in its duties
would have been sufficient reason for
the law making that proviso. The
real reason was to give the business
der the law an opportunity to adjust
their business and make their ar.
rangements to meet the new condi
tions. Employers must know not
only what the Jaw is, but they must
know how it is to be administered.

| just completed a line to connect with
the Standards main line to Baton
Rouge and is now completing a $500,
900 pumping station at Pemeta. This
company, when it was organized to
build the Oklahoma portion of the
line to Baton Rouge, was supposed to
be subsidiary of the Prairie Oil &
Gas company, and by many this is
supposed to be a fact.
The list OF stockholders of the Ok
lahoma Pipe Line company on file
with the state corporation commits
sion shows that its officials own one
share each The list includes Presi.
dent A. T. Towl, Secretary-Treasure
Leroux and several others of Musko-
gee, With the exception of these
shares, the stock is owned by the
Standard Oil company OF New Jersey.
One share is held also by John l..
Havice former secretary treasurer,
but now with the Prairie Oil & Gas
company at Independence, Kan. The
one share was issued to him when
he was with the Oklahoma Pipe Line
company at Muskcgee.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey also controls the StaSNlrd Oil
company of Louisiana, and the opera
tions of the New Jersey corporation
have heretofore been confined TO the
Louisiana fields. BY the extension OF
its Baton Rouge pipe Inc into this
big Oklahoma field, and with the en-
trance of the Carter company as a
big purchaser of properties and pro
duction, the holdings of the Standard
of New Jersey in the southwest be,
came practically doubled.
The Carter company is one of the
busiest in the field at the present
time. In addition 20 the Eliza Yarhola
property, on the west side of the
Cimarron, the company is now fast
developing the Luther Manuel, which
has become the most important link
in the northeastern extension of the
field. The Carter has also let the
contract for steel tanks on the Manuel
to care for the big production.
The Carter company has also be-
come an important figure in the river
bed ownership muddle. Action has
been commenced in the courts by the
Carter alleging that that portion of
the river bed lying along and really
dividing the Yarhola lease belongs
to the Yarhola property under the
riparian rights This river bed stretch
is now leased bv the state separately
to other oil companies, by whom it is
being operated and developed. Both
the state and the Creek tribe Of In
dians claim the ownership.
At one time the Carter company

ordered, routed to Oilton for distribu-
ton. The greater portion of this or

OSSEO BANK TO OPEN, BELIEF
Turritin Says Offers Are Made to
Cover Shortage If Thompson
Is Released


Minneapolis, Minn.-A. G. Trrri-
tin, state superintendent of banks.
says that offers had been made to him
whereby shortages at the OSSeO State
bank would be made up providing j..
H. Thompson, alleged bank wrecker,
would not be prosecuted. Mr.. Turri-
tin stated that he could not, and
would not entertain such offers. He
said it was entirely up to the county
attorney of Hennepin county to decide
whether the actions of Thompson in
the bank were of criminal nature.
Thompson in his cell at the county
Jail has maintained ever since he told
the bank superintendent of the short
ages that neither bank directors nor
stockholders would lose any money if
he was given an opportunity to raise
sufficient funds among his friends. He
said his friends stood ready to aid him,
but he would not allow them to do so
unless he was given immunity from
criminal charges which might arise.
Mr.. Turritin said e. A. Force of the
Wilson-Force Insurance agency, which
carried a $4,000 bond for Thompson,
had called upon him with the informa-
tion the shortage would be made up.
Both Mr.. Turritin and officials of
the Osseo State bank expressed the
belief that the bank will be reopened
following the completion of the eX-
aminer'S work
