"PooR" OKLAHOMA.

According to a popular dictum, the
proof OF the pudding is in the eating, "
and probably this great principle is
susceptible of positive proof Also,
the belief is quite general that Figures
don't lie" Now, applying these two
principles and doing a little ciphel1ng,
it will be discovered that Oklahoma is
by no means poor state. comparative
ly speaking. It is true that not every
body you meet in the street is mil
lionaire. but, If income tax figures may
be taken as a criterion, Oklahoma rs
whole is fairly well off. To be more
explicit, Oklahoma paid more income
taxes last year than did any one of
half the other states in the union,
For this information we are indebt-
ed to the Oklahoma City Times, which
gets its figures from Hubert L. Bolen,
collector OF internal revenue for the
state The government figures of the
ed for the first ten months under the
federal income tax law, with the num-
Der of taxpayers in Oklahoma and the
adjoining states follow:
Oklahoma, ses.S0111. Total num-
her OF taxpayers, 2016.
Arkansas. $45.021.77. Total number
Of taxpayers, 1888.
Kansas. s5O,71023. Total number OF
taxpayers. 1882.

Der Of taxpayers. 31S3.
Texas, ls3eO.9e521. Total number Of

According to Mr. Bolen the income
tax for 1914 will almost double this
tax for the ten months in 1913, judg
ing by tne returns already received.
