County Treasurer Replies
to Charge of Taxpayers
League.
FIGURES DISTORTED
impossible for Anyone to
Get an EXorbitant
Amount, He Says.

Charges made at meeting of the
Taxpayers league that A. Il. Davis, tax
ferret pl Tulsa county would be on
riChcd to the extent OF $1,000 for his
efforts IN collecting the homestead
taNcs were rcfutcd by him yesterday.
County Treasurer Ed Dalton declared
IT would be impossible for Davis to
make more than $3.50.
Both Davis and Dalton declared the
figures presented to the members of
the Taxpayers league were greatly
distorted, Following the meeting ii
committee was appointed to wait cn
the county commissioners and de-
tcrminc whether the charge was well
founded.
In speaking of the matter Yesterday
County Treasurer Dalton said: The
collection of these taxes has been
placed in the hands of Mr.. Davis put
the information given to the Tan
payers league was wrong in every
detail.
Figures We're Wrong.
"Thc figures presented by Mr..
Funk showed there are 2,200 home
stcads in this county. but this is in
correct. As a matter of fact there are
aot more than LAO and the average
taN ON each one would not be more
than $50 while the members Of the
league were informed it was $50.
Not more than four hundred. or
the .4i0 homesteads are subject to
taxation, because Of the fact they are
still in the hands of the allottees,
which eXempts them. Mr.. Davis has
compiled statements of taxes due for
the past three years on these home
steads and received Is per cent of the
amounts collected.
"Only that part of the county south
of the Cherokee nation line is con-
cerned in the recent decision of the
supreme court. This property has
been subject to taxation for the past
several years. payment being made
direct to the trcasurer's office.
"The tax ferrets have been chiefly
responsible for the passage OF the
homestead law and the recent ruling
of the supreme court came only after
fight that had lasted a year and
was backed by the ferrets.
81 am convinced this tax could not
be collected for less than the tax
ferret will receive for his work. He
will earn every cent he gets and it
will he a sum much less than
$4,000"

BALTIMORE, Ma. Feb. 9S-Iudlc

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TER

NATURAL COLOR, GLOSS AND

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove
revelation If your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing
the Sage Tea and sulphur recipe at
home, though. is troublesome. An
easier way is to get the ready -to-usex \
tonic. costing about so cents a large
bottle at drugs torres. known as
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray. faded hair is not
sinful. we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness, BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur, no one can
tell because it does so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared. and.
after another application or two. your
hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy.
