Sunday Bill is Modified.

Oklahoma City, March 15.-With its
fangs all drawn, the Sunday closing
bill was advanced to engrossment in
the senate Monday, so amended that
it simply confers authority upon
cities and towns to close theaters
and moving picture shows on Sun
day, or to regulate their operation.
In its original form the bill pro-
hibited Sunday theatrical perform
ances and movies, but had not a
ghost of show to be enacted. The
amended bill puts an absolute pro-
hibition on the Sunday operation of
pool and billiard halls, shooting gal
leries, dance halls and boxing or
wrestling matches. +;

NEW MORTGAGE
TAX LAW NOW
IN OPERATION
PROVIDES THAT MORTGAGE
SHALL BE THE ONE ASSESSED
lessons BURDEN OF MORT
GAGOR.

Oklahoma City, March 15.-The
new mortgage tax law is now in
operation in Oklahoma. 1t provides
tax of approximately one-fifth the
former tax and the law specifically
provides that the tax shall be paid
by the mortgage. 1t is made a mis-
demeanor for the mortgage to evade
the payment of the tax by any
scheme, arrangement, inducement,
agreement or devise by an increase
in the rate of interest, brokerage,
commission or otherwise.
The tax is 1Oc for each 500 where
the mortgage is for five years or
more. SC where the mortgage Is for
four years, &c for three years, and
&c for less than two years. This tax
is very low compared with an ad
valorem tax or with the SOC tax that
the law has heretofore provided.
In view of the fact that mortgages
are Hol ldAdple on dH du NdloTeLl
basis when they are taxed under this
law it is the belief of the trainers
of the law that it will induce money
to seek investment in Oklahoma
mortgages.
The mortgage tax law has oper-
| ated in the past to add to the bur-
dens of the mortgagor, the money
lenders always evading the tax by
one plan or another. The provisions
of the present law to make the mort
gagee pay the tax are believed to
be such as to bring the desired re-
suit.

ASYLUM At
NORMAN SUED
FOR DAMAGES
JOSEPH COLLINS OF VALIANT
SUES FOR $4,000, CHARGING
HIS DAUGHTER is HELD IN
NEGRO WARD.

Oklahoma City, March 15.-Alleg-
ing that his daughter, "a woman Of
pure Caucasian blood, the offspring
of pure Caucasian parents has been
confined in the negro ward of the
Oklahoma state asylum as negress,
Joseph Collins of Valiant Monday
filed suit in the district court against
that Institution for $4,000.
Collins charges that when the
woman, Lee Collins, was committed
to the asylum last year by the Nc
Curtain county court, the authorities
out consulting him and without his
knowledge. Afterward, he received
which is attached to the petition as
an exhibit, stating that "the mental
condition of Lee Collins (col) had
improved" The fact that this letter
was sent through the mails and the
charge of colored blood made public,
Collins states has damaged him to
the extent of $25,000.
The plaintiff states that such state
ments charge him with either having
committed a crime against the laws
of the state or else that he has negro
blood in his veins, both of which
allegations have injured himself and
family irreparably. Collins states that
his family is respected in the com
munity in which he lives. and that he
rightfully associates with and is rec
ognized as a white man.

The Pateros Reporter of the past
week contained the following bit of
news about the mineral development
of Okanogan county:
Attorney c. w. Struther, of Wenat-
chez, is now making his headquarters
in this city and looking after the inter
est of clients who are taking antimony
ore from the Gold Creek mines. Mr..
Struthers believes there is ore enough
in the Gold creek mining district to
keep a reasonable crew busy for several
years on antimony ore and also good
prospects for developing a paying zinc
industry. At the present time the
machinery at Gold creek is owned by
one party and the mines by another.
For the benefit Of the country it would
be a great thing for the two to get to-
gether and develop the mines and
water power on Gold creek. Mr.
Struther has made arrangements with
the Twisp Transfer Co. to haul the ore
down from Gold creek and it will be
shipped from this city to Seattle.

STATE TAX RETURNS SHOW
LARGE LIVE STOCK INCREASE
Auto Has Not Put the Horse Out of Bus

An Olympia news bulletin says:
Notwithstanding the fact that most
county assessors this year reduced their
total valuations, their returns to the
state board Of equalization indicate a
material advance in the wealth Of the
state. Particularly is this true in the
live stock industry. In the last year
the total number OF cattle listed in the
state has increased from 355, ,127 to
Ala, ,604, sheep and goats have grown
from 440,78o to 481, 1,450 and hogs
from 157,337 to 187,929. In spite
of the ascendency of the automobile
the total number of horses in the state
has increased from $256,876 in 1914
to 261, 1923 this year.
The number of automobiles listed
by the assessors March /, this year,
was 21,713, as compared with 1928
on March l, 1914, but the number Of
automobiles licensed under the new
motor code now has passed the $4,000
mark. The number of pianos, sewing
machines, and other classes of property
capable of being listed numerically,
also show marked increases,
On the other hand the item stock
and figures Of sample rooms and sa
looms" shows only about half as much
property listed under it as was the case

They Will Come Back

What is the attraction about Leaven-
worth? we were asked this week by
one of our observing citizens. This
interrogation was prompted by his see
ing so many old timers on the streets
of the town this week. and one may
truthfully say, every week. Charley
Gibbs, sometimes referred to as the
father OF Peshastin, has been here for
ten days. Alex Munden, another old
time Peshastin citizen, who sold out
there five years ago and since has
crossed the Atlantic ocean twice and
now makes his home near Tacoma
where he has brother, has been here
a month. One evening the past week
we saw both Gibbs and Munden in
confab with John Emig and Nick Kin
cherf. the two oldest nesters we have
LETT in this particular section. The op-
portunity to meet and talk over old
times with fellow pioneers may be the
attraction, and surely there is some sat-
isfaction in this when one consults his
own inclinations.
