AUTO TAX LAW
Theory of Highway Department Re-
versed by Attorney General.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 2S.-An opin-
ion by Assistant Attorney General
R. +. Wood for the commissioner of
highways holds that the state tax
on automobiles is a property tax and
not a privilege or franchise tax. This
is at variance with the theory upon
which the highway department start
ed to collect the tax. It makes it
necessary for the owner of an auto
mobile to pay new tax even after
he had paid the tax on car owned
by him earlier in the yeGr which he
had disposed of. In other words, the
license accompanies the car and not
to taxpayer under the ruling just
made.

Oklahoma City Aug 2S.-I would
like for the people to know just what
is doing in relation to the construction
work on the state capitol building,
for almost every day some one from
out OF town asks when we are going
to begin the structure, and a consid-

senting many thousands OF dollars,
can be seen any day in the week by
those who have eyes to see" com

want the people to know that neither
the tenure of office nor the personnel
of the capitol commission has been
changed: but fifteen days after the
contract was let, which will be Sep

to draw annual salaries. and will re
ceive for the time actually necessary
for the transaction of its business at
the rate of ten dollars day and ex-

Job as is usual and necessary in such
work, in addition to the Legislature
providing for special superintendent

Expensive Superinteadence.


The original contract for plans and
specifications for the capitol as made
by Governor Lee Cruce, provided that
the architects were to receive 3 IL
per cent of the $1,500000 appropri-
ated to build the structure That large
fee has been paid The present gov
ernor. r. l.. Williams, recently enter
ed into another contract with the
same architects by the terms OF
which he agreed to pay them another
l IL per cent to superintend the fur
ther construction, or $22.5OO more to
the already well paid architects. Pre-
vious to this, as above related, the
capitol commission had employed a
superintendent, loaned by the federal
government, who, under the terms of
the law, receives mot exceeding $500
month" and, incidentally, Is re-
ceiving not a cent less. These ex-
penditures are made in accordance
with an act of the legislature provid.
ing for such excessive expenditures.
Commissioner Anthony yesterday,
in the presence OF Senator Goulding,
thus detailed the history of the cap
itol commissions work:
"The law actually became effective
80 days after the adjournment OF the
1913 legislature, which was October
/, 1913. but because a referendum
petition had been filed by citizens OF
Guthrie and Muskogee it did not be-
come effective until the supreme court
had decided the petition vas not filed
within the time prescribed by law,
which decision was handed down jan
uary 49, 1914. The judgment of the
court not becoming operative for 30
days made the real date IN which the
law became effective February 10,
1914.
"a provision of the law made the
funds appropriated available only on
condition that Oklahoma City paid
$53 900 into the state treasury, being
the balance of a pledge made at the
time of the removal OF the capital
from Guthrie to Oklahoma City. This
money was paid and the appropria-
ton became available July 3, 1914;
but the commission had had assur-
ances that this money would be re-
ceived and we had plans and speci-
fications far enough in advance that
the moment this money became avail
able we began construction of the
building, secured a railway switch,
waterworks extension and sewer con-
nection.
July 20, 1914, We began excavating
for the foundation, removing 10000
cubic yards of earth, finishing this
work the latter part of October. By
that time we had the plans for the
foundation and proceeded with con-
struction of the foundation and the
reinforced concrete frame of the build.

ROSS CASE WILL
GO TO JURY TODAY

With the last evidence introduced
this morning, the fate of Charles Ross
of Imperial, on trial in the Superior
court on a charge of assault, will
probably be placed in the hands of
the jury early this afternoon.
Officers who participated in the bat
tie on the fateful night when Ross is
alleged to have withstood capture, and
witnesses to the affray in which lead
en- missiles from besiegers and be-
sieged played such an important part,
both testified during the course of the
trial.
City aMrshal Harry Clark of I'M
perial testified that on the night OF
the battle he went to the Ross home
and called Charlie several times.
l.. P. Porter, the negro who was after
ward killed during the shooting, and
his son, Clark testified, called back
that Ross was not there.
From another quarter, he testified,
came a warning to keep away The
warning was emphasized by the
threat that if the officers approached
they would be shot. Clark asserted ON
the stand that he believed the man
who shouted the warning was Ross,
and based his Identification of the
unseen author of the threat by his
voice.
Deputy Marshal Manning on the
stand connected Ross with the
man who had shouted the warning by
similarity of the hats worn by the
two.
Attorney J. A. Berry, for the de-
defense, concluded his address to the
jury this morning, and was followed
by Attorney O. V. Wilson, who is
likewise appearing for the defense.

LIFE ON THE FARM
IMPROVING EACH YEAR
Farm Life Finds Women Are Con-
tented, Happy and Many Are
Making Money

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has been corresponding with the farm
ers' wives throughout the length and
breadth of the land. The farmers
are not jealous, we think, but no
doubt some of them are mad. Just
listen to this:
THE farm is run for the benefit of
the farm and not the family. OF what
use is it to buy more land to raise more
corn to feed more hogs to buy more
land?" This is an extract from a let
ter written by a Michigan woman.
There are many other uncompH
mentary letters. and the majority Of
the writers seem 10 think the farmers
are inconsiderate If not actually stingy
when it comes to dividing up the pro-
fits with the women folks.
We are afraid Secretary Houston
has fallen into a pit of his own dig
ging. Perhaps he does not realize
that the complaining women have u
reader pen than the contented wo-
men. 1t is true that some farmers are
selfish and dictatorial. So are some
bankers and some preachers of the
gospel. 1t is not true that the farm
ers' wives are the most mistreated of
women.
Farm Life receives letters from sew
eral hundred farm women every day
in the year. In fact, about seventy
five per cent. of our correspondents
are women. They renew the subscrip
ton for the family, they order pat
terms, they make inquiries of the edi-
tor or of his staff, they tell their eX-
periences. and they even tell their
troubles-but not one in hundred
COMPLAINS of her husband.
We think we know more farmers
wives than Secretary Houston knows.
and we think he has misjudged the
situation. Life on the farm is serious,
and sometimes it is hard and lonely
but il is improving every year, and
the great majority of farmers make
things as easy as they can for the
women and children.-Farm Life.
