Just how strong MT. Wilson will be with the Henry Dubbs is yet to be seen, tho he ought to stand we'll with those who labor, but the big men of intellect are his political friends.

The nomination of Governor Hunt was a victory over: very disl equitable political methods. He was fought vieiously-by men in his own party who made ev- cry sort of charge against him and did not leave him a shred of ability or honor. The rural press of the state was pretty we'll lined up against him and their columns were used freely to vilify him. It certainly ap- peared that the Olney slush fund inspired editorials in the weekly papers against the governor. The attacks of the Arizona Ga zette were the most infamous of any, but other newspapers were little less slanderous in their charges. The governors vic tory was fairly won as will be his victory in November.

FLAGSTAFF WANTS THEM -..- ALL .

It looks like Flagstaff has pipes laid to take all the county offices in November. She got the two re- publican nominees for supervisor and the democratic nominee who is a sure winner. Flag. might generously let the west side have a supervisor, but will she? She might let the west side have the representative but again her pro- pensity to clean the platter will probably prevail. If the west side gets anything, it will have to get together and fight for 1t.

INDIANS ARE:
ALL SAV|NG c
THEIR MONEY
COL. MILLS OF LOCAL INDIAN
AGENTS OFF REPORTS
THEY ARE CHANGING FROM
OLD ORDER OF THINGS.
SCrXD|C

Col. Mills, in charge of the local
Indian agents office here, where the
per capita payment is being made,
reports that the Indians as a rule are
putting their money in the bank and
boarding it against the proverbial
rainy day. This speaks well for the
aborigine who in times past was
prone to spend his money where the
liquid fire flowed and usually awoke
with a bad headache and a depleted
purse.
The bankers of the city testify to
the fact that the Indians in this To-
cality have been putting their money
on deposit during this payment in
stead of into the hands of the boot
logger, and as fast as Colonel Mills
passes out the checks he advises them
to make a deposit in some of the
local banks.

the cause of rejoicing among the pro-

CREEK ESTATE RESISTS
INHERITANCE TAX LAW.

Oklahoma City, Okla, July 81
The state of Oklahoma is interested
just now in the collection of 2 big in
heritance tax that IS somewhat in
volved in legal complications. The
tax is on the Yarhola estate in the
Creek Nation Yarhola having been a
Creek Indian. The estate was worth
about $750,O00 and the inheritance
tax, due under the Oklahoma laws, is
a very considerable item.
1t is suggested by the Creek at
torneys that the state is not entitled
to collect this tax on the theory that
the distribution of the estate is to be
under Federal laws and the state,
therefore, has no jurisdiction.
Whether the position of the Creek at
torneys will be taken into court in an
attempt to resist payment of the
tax is not known.
Assistant Attorney General Smith
c. Matson is working on a brief of the
case with view of convincing the
lawyers for the Creek and for Var
hola interests that the state is entitl
ed to the tax. The case may be de-
cided in court, however, as the in
tention of the states lawyers seems
to be to insist upon payment
This case is the first of the sort to
arise under the Oklahoma inheritance
tax law. It's determination will be
of importance as there are many
wealthy restricted Indians in the oil
fields of Oklahoma and their estates,
if taxable, will yield large revenues
to the state upon their death.
