That the Debeque oil field will
very soon be q profitable producer Of
both oil and gas is the opinion of all
who are interested in that district.
This belief was strengthened by un-
questioned evidence that the nitro
glycerine placed in Grand River well
No. has at last exploded. A report
was current some weeks ago that tine
nitro had been discharged, but exper-
fenced oil men were inclined to ques-
tion the report, but there now seems to
be NO doubt whatever that the charge
was exploded about 4:3O Tuesday after
noon.
Sufficient proof that the explosion
has taken place lies in the fact that
the drill stem is badly kinked and
twisted by the explosion and the bit
is badly bent 2Ad battered. While
.ssi44r4fse i4rfse demonstration
of the explosion, none was expected
for usually such explosions are not
accompanied by any noise or shock of
consequence.
Since placing the forty quarts of
nitro in the well last summer the com-
pany has been trying to shoot it but
without success. When it was founl
that the wiring was defective it was
decided to drill into the explosive and
set it of in that way but as the well
has been caving badly progress wa,
very slow and it was not until Tuesday
that the nitro was reached.
. very strong body of gas, an excellent
sign, but the flow of water is 20 heavy
that the quantity of oil cannot be De
ternined with any degree of certainty.
Just q soon As the water can b.
eased OF the pump will be connecte1 /
and pumping of oil will begin AID all
who are Interested are confident that
they will be rewarded for the long aud
tedious effort with . pay we'll.
New osa1any oDsrasang
Encouraged by the splendid pros
poets which the field presents, new
company was recently organized, prin-
cipally from among Glenwood citizens
and this new corporation which %
known ~ the Rifle -Debeque Oil L Gas
company has secured leases upon some
Of the best property in the Debeque
field, including the old well ON the
Alfons Myers ranch. This we'll has
been for several years spouting
heavy flow of gas and it is believed
that with a very little work this will
become = splendid gas producer. It is
the intention Of the company to pre-
pare as soon rs possible to supply tie

heating and lighting purposes.

ARTHUR G. COBB, SECRETARY
MARION FAIR ASSOCIATION

The time is rapidly approaching
for our county to begin preparations
for It's eighth annual fair, and it is
with a great deal of pleasure that
the Star calls special attention to
every citizen of Marion county that
the fair association has in the selec-
ton of Mr.. A. c. Cobb as secretary,
settled a very perplexing question.
Everybody knows Cobb; more gen
ial, big-hearted man does not live.
The Star joins hands with every
loyal Marion county citizen to boost,
yes BOOST" from this minutes until
the fair is over. Let US forget the
war, and think of the many good
things that can be shown in friendly
competition among our good people at
our next fair. Let us get right be-
hind Cobb and the fair, and make it
break all records. We can do it if we
try.

The Ocala Star is vigorously de-
nouncing the killing of negro in Ma
rion county who had apparently been
shot to death by a deputy sheriff
merely because he was trying to get
away from crap game in a shanty
ear in which he was engaged with a
bunch Of other negro railroad labor
ers when the car was raided by three
deputies. Shooting under such cir
eumstances was an immeasurably
greater crime than the harmless crap
shooting in which the negro was en-
gagged, and it is such administration
of the law" as that that puts murder
Gus resentment against the injustice
into the hearts of negroes, and so far
from suppressing crime, distinctly
increases it wherever such practice is
employed. "One law for the white
man and another for the niger" as
the saying goes, is the responsible
cause for a prodigious mass of negro
criminality in the South.-Lakeland
Telegram.

H. G. Wells, the noted English au-
thor, argues that a method for end
ing the war would be for the allies to
build and send a tremendous fleet of
aeroplanes to the rear of the German
lines and destroy all the German am
munition factories. He contends that
it would be cheaper to launch 1000
aeroplanes against Germany than to
risk one battleship. This is such a
simple and easy little plan that it Is
wonder nobody thought of it before

support a paper-at least, it never
has-but Dixie seems to have be-

tiele boosting the new county. The
article is probably an advertisement,
as we have seen nearly all of it in a
circular. If it is paid matter, its
publication is contrary to law, as it
has no advertising marks. Whether
it is an advertisement or not, the man
who wrote it should be ashamed of
himself as a large proportion of it is

ability and character at least the
equal of any of the others, and he has
the experience all the others lack. IT
is to the advantage of the voters to

ASSAILS
PRESENT
TAX PLAN

UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, May S.-The geneUl prop
erty tax, as 1t prevails in WASH
ington and some of the other
states, was roundly scored by Pro-
fessor Vanderveer Gusts in lee
ture before the class in contem.
poraneous history this week.
Prof. Gusts, who is a member
of the political and social science
department, declared this system
of taxation unsound in theory and
unavoidable In practice. He de-
fled It's proponents to find in all
the world five recognized authorl-
ties on taxation who would de-
fend 1t.
Shows Figures.
Prof. Gusts brought forth a
considerable amount of statistics
from records in this state to show
that. the general property tax has
been a failure. the general causes
cited being the inability of asses
sors to determine the value OF
property; the high rate that Is
imposed and the fact that the
office of assessor is a political
one, poorly remunerated, and
even when ability is shown the
assessor is disqualified by the
constitution from holding office
for more than two consecutive
terms -four years..
The extent to which the taax>
The extent to which the tax-
instanced by a reference to 4
court decision in another state.
Prof. Custis said the court had
said that perjury in swearing to
a false tax list was no test OF
the general credibility of man,
Poor Get Bad Deal.
Prof. Gusts assailed the per-
sonal property taxation especial
ly, declaring that the poor mans
property Is assessed more nearly
at its full value than that of the
rich.
Personally, Prof. Gusts said he
favored an income tax above all
others, but that he had some
doubts as to it's practicability.
He asserted that the amount OF
property possessed did not neces.
sarily indicate taxpaying ability,
and added that many men draw
ing large salaries and owning no
property escape taxation except
80 far as taxes are shifted.
The general property tax has
been abandoned everywhere ex-
cept in Switzerland and some OF
the states of this country, he said.

Testimony tending to show
that the defendant had been ia

her husband resulted yesterday
afternoon in Superior Judge Cliff
ford's granting toe. o. Royse a
divorce from Mrs. Edna Royse.
All the property goes to the hus-
band, and the custody OF the
child will alternate in To-day
periods.
Like the testimony Of the pre-
yious day, the evidence taken
yesterday was taken up almost
entirely with an examination into
Mrs. Royse's flirtations and rela-
tions with four men.
On the stand herself, she said
that she did not think 1t wrong

Neighbors testified that aside
from her relations with other
men she was an affectionate and
