BOOTLECGERs AS
THICK AS EVER
H. L. BoLEN, STATE REVENUE
COLLECTOR, TELLS OF CON-
DITloNs AS HE SEES THEM

"As far as ! can ascertain, there
are as many bootleggers in Oklahoma
City and Oklahoma county this year
as there were last" said Hubert L..
Bolen, internal revenue collector, who
was here last night, when asked as
to federal licenses being taken out by
the gentry in this part of the country.
Seemingly they are all active, too,
as it would be waste of money for
them to buy a federal liquor license
for $25 if they did not intend to make
use of it,
Last year we issued about 125 per-
mits, and that number will be reached
this year by the time we get them all
rounded up. OF course ] have only
one man to work in eleven counties.
so that getting them all to come to
time takes little time. However,
we generally get all of them, without
much trouble, as the alternative Of
serving a sentencesin the federal peni-
tentiary does not appeal to them."
When asked if there was not con
siderable difficulty in locating the
Mr. Bolen said that while
he had bu. five men in the state, they
were sufficiently well trained and
alert enough to allow but few to get
past them. "The records of these
licenses are on file at the collectors
office" stated Mr.. Bolen, "and as are
all court records, open to the inspec-
ton OF the public. If the city and
officials throughout the state
don't get the yiolators, it isn't because
they do not have chance to know
who is operating and where they live"

MUCH MONEY NEEDED To
REPAIR COUNTY BRIDGES

1t is estimated by John A. Rankin,
county engineer, that $50, AS is the
actual amount necessary to repair
the BRIDGES in Logan county. He
says that unless the bridges are re-
paired this year the loss will be great
to the county. Bridges of this coun-
ty have been sadly neglected" he
said. "The floors are rotting and the
bridge iron needs paint. Many could
be saved and made permanent by the
expenditure of ten per cent of their
actual value. 1t is penny wise and
pound foolish to refuse to appropriate
money to save property that is worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
the intelligent farmers Of this county
know ii"

{ DUCA TIVE
MOVEMENT FOR
TAX REFORM


San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 15.-An
educative movement for reform in
taxation, national in it's scope, was
advocated by Samuel r. Howe, vice
president of the National Tax Associa-
ton, in an address last night before
the ninth annual conference of that
body.
If the ideal Of equality of burden in
taxation is to be realized in any CON
siderable degree, most tax systems
must be radically changed, Mr.. Howe
said
"The glittering generalities Of po-
litical platforms formulated not infre-
quently with little or no knowledge Of
fundamental principles or of the real
facts of taxation, and too often for the
sole purpose of winning votes, seem
nowadays much more influential in
shaping tax laws, than the desire to
distribute the burden among the citi-
zens upon some equitable plan," he
declared.
There was now substantial agree
ment among advocates of tax REFORM

"ON TO PETROGRAD"
MOVEMENT CUT OFF
MAIN BODY OF THE RE-
TREATING RUSS ARMY
ESCAPES UNSCATHED

London, Aug. 1>.-The Russians
for the time being, at least are hold
ing in check the Baltic flank of the
German armies, which are struggling
to cut off the Warsaw7Petrograd rail
way and are battling toward Dvina
beyond which lie the roads to the
Russian capital.
This halt has been accomplished
with the aid of reinforcements and
by virtue of one counter attack af-
ter another
The fortress Koyno, still holds out,
the German attack on Riga has been
repulsed and the railway junction at
Dyinsk remains in Russian hands
From Ostrolenka north to Warsaw,
to Chelm in the south.
Teutons claim to have made furth-
er progress, but between Vieprz and
the Bug they have apparently been
thrown back.
The fact that the Germans were
able to advance with rapidity east
from Warsaw, while being checked
on right and left flanks gives rise
to the impression in England and
Russia that a stout resistance was
offered by the Russian wings, to III
sure the safe withdrawal of the main
body of troops from Warsaw.
