away and made him stingy."
How, Darren?" inquired Nellie,
with wondering blue eyes.
well, Dunbar is a sChemer and is
after the old mans wealth. He is a
dOmineering fellow and somehow
had got the old man under his thumb
so that the poor old man is afraid to
call his soul his own"

INJURED Nellie.
why, it seems that Dunbar's ia
Their had a pretence of a claim to the
old farm. 1t was thrown out of court
twice, but the son has made uncle
believe that he can bring a new suit
and haTTass him and put him to eX-
pense. Uncle has such a horror of
the law that I has agreed, under
stand, to leave the farm to Dunbar
when he dies"
1T should be yours, dear, as the
nearest of kin, D. suggested Nellie.
"Oh, l don't covet it." declared
DdII6u uSuLly. II always was d
hard-scrabble tract. Besides, if Dun
bar makes uncles's last days less
lonely let him reap the reward"
But 1 hear that Mr.. Dunbar is not
a very good man." intimated Nellie
mildly.
mo, he isn't for a fact" declared
her husband bluntly. 81 hear that
he watches uncle closely so that he
won't get rid of any stray cash, hop
ing to get that, to, when uncle dies
I think that is the reason why uncle
hasn't come over to see us more
often. Lately, learn, Dunbar has
been carousing around the town
drinking shops, so that probably
gave uncle the opportunity to slip
over and see US"

A SERIOUS MISTAKE

Germany has made mistake, and a
serious mistake. TO have promised
and then face about and break that
promise is not reasonable PROPOSE
ton The United States has put forth
every possible effort to keep from
breaking with Germany which has
proven Of no avail against Prussian
bull-headedness. This nation has at
last awakened to the fact that nothing
short of war declarations will halt
Germany.
That the crew OF the Housatonic
were treated according TO in ernatioE
al law and allowed to land before
their ship was sunk, is a matter OF
great satisfaction to the people Of th
United States, and it is greatly hoped
that Germany will continue to pursue
this course. As the German ambassa-
dor, Count Won Bernstorif, has said
There was nothing else left for the
United States TO do"
The breaking OF OF relations with
Germany was not the choice OF the
United States government. 1t was
compelled as a matter of respect due
TO this country. II Germany wants
peace with this country, as she has
often declared then let the Kaiser
withdraw his unrestricted submarine
warfare orders, and It vii, be vol
coined by this country.

gross production tax on crude oil to
two percent.
Undoubtedly there should be equali-
zation of taxation. Scarcely anybody
would have the temerity to contend
for any other system OF levy. one
man should not be compelled to pay
more than another to enjoy the same
rights and privileges. When man
pay more than somebody else he eX-

ne doesn't do that in Oklahoma Some
men pay heavily, others lightly in com.
parison, yet one receives no more from
the state than the other. 1t isn't fair.
The oil men are paying heavier
taxes than people in other industries.
There's no denying it, But there seems
to be cOyert-not covert, either, be.
cause some folk very openly express
themselves desire 90 drain their treas
uries while they can be drained No
hody has claimed so far that there is

Yet some people demand IT,
There's a big surplus in the state
treasury now. The oil men have al
ready paid in, within nine months, as
much as they were expected to pay
to the state in twelve months, accord.
ing to official estimates BY the time
the year has elapsed they will have
far exceeded the estimate, and the
state will have in hand q vast sum of
money in excess of that it hoped to
have. But the idea among certain
politicians Is to continue drawing in
this money whether the state needs
it or not
We don't believe the people want
the state to have an enormous surplus.
It's too dangerous, too tempting. They
would much rather have the stored

ploying and tax'paying enterprises.
We believe that sincerely.
If this Legislature does not cut down
the gross production tax it's going to
hurt seriously, by its neglect, thous.

through failure Of producers to extend
their prospecting and drilling oper

We believe this legislature and this
