AUTO TAXATION

In a letter to The Courant. a South
Manchester man says:
IF the published reports of the
recent hearing on various bills to in
crease taxation of automobiles are
correct, it would seem that the atten-
ton Of all owners should be called to
the injustice of the Sherwood Bill,
which war apparently favored by
those present, This bill proposes an
increase of 100 per cent, or 81 per
horsepower for private cars in lieu
of all other taxation. Tt is cIeverly
drawn to favor owners Of costly high
powered cars at the expense of those
who drive popular priced or used
cars, 1914 models are politely
1ermed.
10 illustrate-under the present
law a new $1,000 fifty horsepower car
will pay an average local tax of SIS
and state tax Of $25. The Sherwood
Bill will collect $50 and the wealthy
owner will pocket $50, thanking Mr..
Sherwood. The owner of a 1914
model car worth $500 will find his
assessment increased SIS or SO when
figured on the same basis.
If it is necessary to hold up the
automobile owners for more cash, let
us devise some means to increase and
not reduce the tax on the heavy high
| powered cars which are mostly re-
| sponsib1e for the damage to our i'm

STATE SCHOOL
LAND BEING
APPRAISED
VALUES GENERALLY ARE HIGHER
THAN SIX YEARS AGO-WORk
FINISHED IN TWELFTH SALES
DISTRICT.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 20
School land in the twelfth sales dis
trict has been appraised, the apprais-
ers having completed their task this
week. They are now in the thirteenth
district and in some counties have
made considerable progress.
Much of the land in the twelfth dis
trict has been segregated because of
oil and gas properties, and will not be
sold. The district includes six coun'
ties and the values are somewhat high
er than on the occasion of the last
appraisement six years ago, in most in
stances, although in some cases they
are lower.
The improvements are appraised
separately. They belong to the lessees,
and the lessees have preference right
to buy the lands at the highest bid
made at the sale, which is always by
public auction. Usually there are no
bidders, but the lessee, and the land
goes to him at the appraised value.
Lessees have the right to file pro-
test against the appraisement. and
this always operates to prevent sale,
as the policy of the commission has
never been to carry the matter to the
courts. So far there have been few
protests filed in the twelfth district,
and the commissioners do not expect
many, because the appraisement is
generally considered fair and the
terms of sale make it possible for the
lessee to become a home owner-a
thing which lessees through their or.
ganization have been seeking. The
sale in the twelfth district will proba.
bly, be made early in September.

FOR CITY Of
NASHVILLE
CITY TREASURER is ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF FAILURE TO
ACCOUNT FOR $4,000 FUNDS
-OUT ON BOND.

Nashville, Tenn, June 26.-Shortly
after suit had been filed in the chan
cery court here today asking that re-
ceivers be appointed for the city of
Nashville, in connection with the al
legged disappearance OF a number of
the city records and the charge that
large sums have been stolen from the
city treasury. Charles Myers, city
treasurer, was arrested on warrant
sworn to by Miles Burns, comptroller.
Burns alleges that the treasurer
never has accounted for approximate
ly $4,000, which, it is asserted, was
collected from banks as interest on
city deposits. Myers was released on
bond.
Commercial organizations of the
city have formed committees ION
public safety" 20 inquire into munich
pal affairs and an auditing company
is investigating the city's finances.
The receiversnlp proceedings, in
stituted by Burns and others against
the mayor, members of the city COM
mission, the city treasurer and the
surety companies which bonded the
officials, seeks to recover money
which, it is alleged, was illegally
spent or wasted in connection with
contracts let by the city officials.
The bill also seeks to enjoin any
further alleged waste of the city's
money.
The petition will probably be heard
tomorrow.

Russians Repulse Germans

| London, June 26.-Along that most
crucial sector of the Dniester battle
front in Galicia between Zurawna and
Halicz, heavy fighting is going one,
| There is some conflict over the situa.
| ton, according to the official reports.
| The Russians claim that they have
punished the Austro- German forces
there, and that by rushing up rein
forcements, they have compelled them
to retreat across the river. Berlin ad
mits this reverse, but the Austrian
communication says the Teutonic at
tack there is making progress.
North of this area and still farther
north over the frontier in Poland, the
Austro-German advances are sweep
ing forward. Whatever the outcome
of the struggle along the Dniester, the
Russian armies have met with such
reverses that in the belief of military
experts from the standpoint of the al.
lies, the western theater seems to be
the only quarter which holds out the
possibility of a decisive action during
the summer
The French and German claims re.
lative to the fighting on the western
front are widely at variance. Military
observers here believe that the French
will have their eyes on Lille with its
factories and railroad lines, and ad-
vance the theory that the recurrent
and persistent attacks week in and
week out along virtually the same
section of the German front proves
this.
Though meeting with the hardest re.
sistance on the Dniester, the initia-
tive in the east still rests with the Aus.

move will be. 1t is argued by them
that the situation in the west may at
any moment become pressing and that

Colonel Suggs declared there would
be no abatement of his interest and
enthusiasm in good roads work in Ok

he would work more vigorously than
ever in the interest of better roads.
On the stump and in his paper The

value of better roads for Oklahoma

r. II. ROGERS OF PROVENCE is
BUILDING GOOD DIRT HIGHWAY
FROM PROVENCE TO MCMILLAN
TO JOIN MADILL ROAD.

Bob Rogers, a merchant living east
hood, and good roads enthusiast, got
| tired recently of having to travel
through the mud and over hummocks
whenever he desired to go anywhere,
so he came before the board of county
commissioners and had himself ap-
pointed road overseer of that section.
The funds in the treasury for road
purposes was practically nothing, but
he had lot of neighbors who were
as anxious for a good road as he, and
they volunteered to help with their
teams.
They began operations with a view
of making their work permanent, and
the first thing done was to take care of
the drainage. The graders were put to
work and did the job according to
proper plans, with the result that thep
now have fine stretch of road from
Provence to Mcmillan, connecting
with the road built by the county COM
missioners of Marshall county leading
on to Madill. When finished, this road
will be a good route for auto travel
between this city and Madill and it
will also bring trade to this city that
has hitherto gone in the other direc-
ton.
Rogers had but little money at his
disposal to do this work and he is
commended on all sides for the good
work he has accomplished.

CONDITION
Of CR0PS|N
CARTER co.
GRAIN CROP is NEARLY CUT AND
IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION -
CORN is DOING FINE AND COT
TON PROMISES WELL.

Crop conditions in Carter county
have held their own remarkably well
during the past two weeks. There
was entirely too much rain during the
early part of that period for grain
and cotton, but this was followed by
intervals of dry, hot weather, which
enabled the farmers to work with
might and main, days, nights, and
Sundays, in order to harvest the grain
There were sections of low lands in
different parts of the county where
the grain was slightly damaged, but
the bulk of the crop is saved and in
fairly good condition. and with mod
crate weather from now on can be
threshed and marketed or stored.
The farmers further north in the
state have not been so fortunate as
those in Carter county, as they have
had several heavy rains there re-
Gently that could not help but damage
the grain crop. The light rain here
last Thursday did no damage to the
grain, in fact it was an advantage to
corn and growing feedstuffs and gar
dens.
Corn conditions in this country are
extremely flattering, and the yield
promises to be the biggest in seven
years. Cotton is small, but mostly
clean, and has ample time in which
to mature big crop.
The enormous feed crop in this
section is going to cause the northern
shippers of grain to seek another mar
ket for their stun this year, as nearly
every farmer will have an abundance
of feed, and WA, not be compelled to
purchase. In fact, there is going to
be quite lot of feedstuff offered for
sale from this section.
AS a whole, conditions in this coun-
ty are all that could be asked, and !
diligent work upon the part OF the |
farmers will insure an era OF pros
perity.
