FARM PRODUCTS
To Be TAX FREE.
Plan Of Governor Elect
Will Prevent Future

Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 9l.--Gov-
ernor-elect Il. l.. williams today as
sured friCnos that he will rccom-
mend in his message to the legisla-
turo that all farm products he'll by
the producer be exempted from taxa
tion.
Tue message will recommend that
the revenue laws OF the state be
amended so that farm products held
by the producer, whether held on
his premises or elsewhere, shall not
be subject to taxation. The provision
IL made board to include everything
held over so long as 1t does not leave
tho hands of the producer and get
into the possession of the spectator
and will not apply simply to cotton.
VIII Aid Farmers.
The recommendation are made by
the governor-elect principally for the
purpose of relieving the cotton situa-
tion, as thousands of bales are being
held In store houses all over the state
In order tc tide over the period OF
low prices, brought on largely by the
European war. While cotton Is the
principal crop that Is held this year,
n considerable amount of wheat is In
storage and this Will also escape tax

by Governor r-elect Williams will be
endorsed by the legislature and that
II will be great help toward solV
ing the problem of preventing slumps

know that they can hold any OF their
products without taxation and when
they feel sure they will receive the
cooperation OF the bankers and mer-
chants as they have in the present
cotton crisis. they will not hesitate
to hold their products off the market
whenever conditions are unsatisfac-
tory. The very KNOWLEDGE in market
centers that the farmers will do this

COMPLAINTS MADE
ABOUT OIL LEASES
Special to The World.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec 3l.-While
the school land board was in session
today letter was received from ID. II.
Linebaugh. United States district at
torney for the cast side. saying that
complaints had beer made to the de-
partment that oil leases in sections 81
8. 8. II, IS and 10, in river beds,
awarded by the school land commits
sion, had not been operated in con-
formity with regulations, and II such
was the case his department may or
der all these leases cancelled 10y
January Is. The department of JUS
tice will probably make an investiga-
tion. The claim OF the department is
on the ground that river bed leases
are under the control OF the govern
ment In behalf of the Indians and not
the state, which matter is yet in the
courts for final settlement.

BIDS ON LEASES
were REJECTED
School Land Department
Seeks to Discourage
Production.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 31.-Indi-
eating as a proper attitude the school
land department should take inasfar
as its power lies to restrict the oil
production under the present circum-
stances, the board today in the last
meeting of the present members re-
jected the bids of ]. S. Bryan. James
Brazil, y. F. Richards and ii. S. Cone
on two tracts In Lincoln county. The
bids offered the usual 121a per cent
royalty, with an additional 10 per
cent from each well producing 1000
for the first 80 days, or 20 per cent
for each we'll producing 5000 for the
first 80 days.
Discourage Production.
These tracts are in territory that,
while not entirely proven, the board
members were impressed with the
possibility of ultimate extensive pro-
duction. Governor Cruce, as well as
other members, thought that with oil
cheap as 1t Is now, and the apparent
activity OF producers to get as much
production as possible, under restric-
lions, that to encourage any addi-
tional production would not be to the
states interest Consequently, IL would
he better to wait. The bids were then
rejected.
The bid Of j. Paul Getty Of Tulsa,
on one tract in Jefferson county,
which Is near the Red river, was ac-
cepted. This offers the 121a per cen.
royalty with 1855 bonus and an addi-
tional bonus of $500 If the production
Is % barrels or better a day.
Refuse Royalty Reduction.
The board declined finally to grant
any reduction in the royalty offer
on the leases in the Cimarron river Of
Henry Barrett. matter that has
beer presented to the board for the
Fast several months. A reduction Of
royalty to 20 per cent was asked. The
boofd has always suggested that the
matter could be taken to the legisla-
tlre by the lessees for relief, and If
the latter body saw fit to grant the
relief, all right. The leases had been
executed on bids offered by the
lessees, and If they were not profita.
bic to the lessees the board did rot
believe ii had cause TO modify them.
1t Is likely the mater will be taken
up with the legislature.

Farm Independence.


We recently heard man say If
the farmers would get together it
would not be long before the world
would be looking to them, instead
of them looking to the world. If the
farmers had a jug-tight organization,
such as some less important people
nave. the town folks would keep the
roads hot by hurrying to the country
fer fNors. But perhaps no such or
ganization is possible, because the
membership would be too large. 1t Is
possible though, for each farmer to
organize himself. If every farmer
would say to his own household: This
year our bread and butter shall be
produced on our own acres" he would
make a beginning toward independ-
ence which would mean, IL Intelligent
~ persisted in, final emancipation
from the tyranny of the town. In the
south the country has been subject to
the city. From the city has come
the cotton money and the cotton
money has been the southern farm
ers hope and salvation. 1t hasn't
been much of a hope or much OF a
sa,N9tfon. but 1t has enabled him to
continue along his chosen lines. II 1t
has now come to pass that southern
farmers realize as never before the
supreme importance OF lnulNluudi III
dependence, the cataclysm In Europe
may prove to be the greatest blessing
that ever befell them. There was
never single proposition so often
and so obviously refuted as the all
cottoi. proposition. For fifty years
the PEOPLE Of the south have been
trying to get rich at raising cotton.
and after five years OF very high
prices and good crops, the loss OF
half the value of one crop has thrown
tho whole cotton country into hys-
terics. 1t shows how dreadfully mar
row has been and is the margin be-
tween comfort and discomfort.-Dal-

WOULD ALTERNATE SEASON
Shooting Deer Every Other
Year.

New Richmond.-There has been
launched by the spOrtsmen in this city
H. F. Barnes of the H. s. Thompson
Lumber company taking the Initiative
movement looking toward the
amendment or repeal of the present
law, which limits deer hunters in this
state to one deer and that a buck. Mr.
Barnes says that the law prohibiting
the shooting of does, while undoubted
ly correct in theory, is not protecting
the deer, but it is increasing the mum.
Der killed and adds that if the present
slaughter is not stopped the deer in
the northern Wisconsin woods will
soon be eXterminated.
Mr. Barnes proposes the repeal OF
the one buck provision Of the present
law, and substituting in lieu thereof
some real protection for the deer. TC
this end he proposes that the shooting
of deer, both male and female and OF
all ages, be prohibited in Wisconsin
every other year. He would have ar
open season of not to exceed twenty
days, but only once in two years.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts Of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints it causes 1umbago, rheuma-
tism, govt or sciatica. This is the time
