The kind of chicken that ultimately
would have emanated from such an
egg will remain matter of mystery.

now feels sure 1t would have been a
fowl with wasplike waist.

NEWS OF THE STATE CAPITOL

State Adopts New Lease Agreement.
The new form Of oil and gas lease
contract, recently drafted by the oil
and gas division of the school land de-
partment, has been accepted by the
commissioners of the land Office and
will be used in the future in the execu-
ton of mineral leases on state school
land.
It is provided by the new lease con-
tract that at the expiration OF five
years after the lease has been executed
the value of producing wells and the
cost of drilling shall be included In
the appraised value of the property
covered by the lease. Heretofore, only
the value of physical property was
included in the appraisement 1t also
provides that no cost shall be included
for non-producing or dry wells.
Another important provision is that
the agricultural Lessee on land on
which a mineral lease also is made,
shall be protected by bond executed
by the mineral lessee, from any dam
ages accruing from the production of
oil and gas upon the property covered
by his agricultural lease. 1t also is
provided that where gas is produced
from the lease the agricultural lessee
shall be furnished free gas for his own
consumption, provided he makes the
necessary connections.
The new lease contract establishes
a fiat royalty to the state of 1914 per
cent of the oil and gas production
from state school land.

Oklahoma City

State Auditor z. B. Howard already
is preparing for the collection OF the
income tax due the state for 1915.
The blanks are ready and the citizen
who understands that such taxes In
arrears stand as lien on whatever
property he may own will not be dill
atory in making application for the
blanks. Whether such return is made
to the state auditor or is not collected
for the year, non.payment will cloud
the title to any property transferred.
The new law, section one, levies a
tax on all incomes. 1t differs from
the old law in that the old law con-
tanned provision that such income
tax should not be levied upon incomes
derived from property upon which a
gross revenue or excise tax had been
paid. The effect Of that tax upon
oil producers, for example, was that
they did not pay any tax on income
received from their oil properties.
Under the new law, on the con-
trary, there is no exemption except
the amount they have paid in the way
of state and county taxes.
Those Who Should Pay.
Section one of the new law levies a
tax on all persons whose incomes are
in excess of $4,000, if unmarried; on
all persons whose income exceeds S4,-
900, If married; and on all persons
whose income exceeds $4,000 plus $500
for each child under IA years of age.
The law provides that persons hav-
ing incomes subject to taxation under
the provisions of the law, shall make
a report of same on blanks furnished
them by the state auditor. Whether
a report is made or not, there will be
tax outstanding against the property,
so that persons who believe them
selves to be amenable to this law
should make application for the
blanks.
If they have transferred any prop
erty there will be a cloud upon 1t II
this tax is not paid for the year in
which the transaction occurred. Be
cause the auditor does not discover
it is no excuse and does not obviate
the lien upon the property.
The blanks now are ready for the
report of incomes for the year begin
ming last January and terminating
December 81.

Bockman To Die Dec. 10.

Unless Governor Williams inter-
venes with executive clemency, Henry
Bookman, negro, will be electrocuted
in the penitentiary at McAlester, Fri
day, December 10. 1t will be the first
electrocution in the history Of the
the death penalty in Oklahoma in sew
eral years.
Bookman was convicted of the muir
der of a white man in Mcintosh coun-
ty. His sentence has been affirmed by
the criminal court of appeals and the
record of his case has been before the
governor for several weeks. Shortly
after his sentence was affirmed, Book
man is alleged to have feigned insan-
lty, but the fact that he is not insane
has been established by the prison
authorities.
While no intimation has been given
by the governor as to what he will do,
1t is generally believed that he will
not interfere. He has repeatedly stat
ed that he will never commute a death
sentence unless some unusual condi-
ton exists.
Installation OF the death chair in the
penitentiary was completed several
months ago. The law provides that
the execution shall be performed by
the warden or one of his deputies.
Warden R. w. Dick is known to be an
avowed opponent to the infection of
the death penalty and it is expected
he will designate one of his deputies
to turn on the current if the eXecu.
ton is held.

HOW TO SUCCEED.

Twenty clerks I'm store, twenty
hands In a printing office. Twenty ap-
prcntices in shipyard, twenty young
men In village-all want to get
along In the world, and expect TO do
so. One OF the clerks will become a
partner, and make fortune; one OF
the compositors will own newspaper
and become an influential citizen; one
of the apprentices will become mast
er builder; one Of the young villagers
will get handsome farm. and live
like a patriarch-but which one Is
the lucky individual? Lucky? There
is no luck about II. The thing Is al
most certain as the rule OF three. The
young fellow who will distance his
competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integrity,
who lives purely and clearly. who de-
votes his leisure to the acquisition OF
knowledge, who gains friends by de-
serving them, and who saves spare
money. There are some ways to for
tune shorter than this old dusty high
way; but the staunch man OF the
community; the man who achieves
something really worth having-good
fortune, good name, a serene old ne
goes In this hard, dusty road.
Keep a strict account OF both pro-
fits and expenses; DO careful to Keep
the first in advance Of the last until
the point Of independence is reached,
and you will most certainly avoid the
dreadful fate heretofore 80 common
to nine-tenths OF the foolish voyages
upon uncertain seas OF business.
Let your industry never grow
weary; keep your faithful servant,
economy, ever on the guard. and
should no unforeseen disaster. over
J whelm you, your voyage will most
surely be successful one.
