MORE FORESTS FOR OKLAHOMA.

pEOPLE who come to parts of Oklahoma that are
prairie in character miss the trees of the older com
munities where forests thrive. But we're about to change
some OF these prairies into forests, not the level fields.
cf course, where grain can be raised, but in parts of the
prairie where odds and ends OF land arc not suitable for
agriculture. And future generations are to. get the bene-
III Of the thoughtfulness of men who admire trees.
Years ago William T. Little of Perry was the fore.
suost Oklahoma forestry advocate. He wrote and talked
Snp4 then planted trees; he had a few followers, all Of
.Wbon have changed trecless areas into beautiful groves.
Dom in the Wichita forest reserve Frank Rush. tho
4uuefintendent OF the forestry work, is planting hundred,
- thousands Of trees. In years to come thi, extension
q the forest area will be Of great value to the state.
Il The third man in Oklahoma who is responsible for
Increased interest in the forest movement is George NJ
Holt Of this city, who has obtained promises from Con.
gresham Ferris to furnish seeds to Oklahoma, so tina,
pine and redwood forests may be started in those out OF
the way places in Oklahoma where waste land leases the
man who believes in sparing the tree and planting more
to 60 with it.
While the east side Of Oklahoma abounds in mag
niiicent forests, the western portion of the state lacks
trees. We can thank Little and Bush and Hol, for their
enthusiasm along constructive lines which is about to
bring us forests and create a lumber industry as a side
line The state will receive grea, wealth in double form
from the forest movement

THE FARMERS GREATEST AID.

TRACTORS now take the place of men and horses on the
farms of Oklahoma. And the tractor exhibit at the
state fair next month will be something of a revelation to
many who have wondered how farms are to be operated
at a true when the government is calling for men to enter
the military service, thus curtaIlrng the man power Of farms.
While tractors are primarily used in place of animal
power on the farm, tractors also perform labor which re-
leases men for other service, either on the farm or other
wise, Great engines now pillow the Oklahoma fields where
formerly many men and horses were needed.
SO, increased interest is being taken this year in tractors.
The state fair will give extraordinary attention to these
machines which arc so necessary at this time. And other
farm machinery at the state fair will call attention to the
changed conditions that have come with the perfecting Of
machinery which runs the farm.
Forty acres of ground have been set aside for the dis
plays of farm machinery, and Secretary Walter Birdseye
states that the food situation in the world points to unusual
interest in every implement that is designed to relieve
human energy and increase the production Of food on the
farms OF our own and other states.

TAXABLE PROPERTY OMITTED.

n UR taxation system is causing a lot Of local trouble.
Efforts are being made to list property that was omitted
from the rolls. Also, scouts are canvassing the city to
ascertain the amount of improvements that have been
made on town lots.
In other words, If a citizen has displayed thrift IN
building and furnishing a home, he is subject to a penalty
In the shape OF increased taxes.
Meanwhile the man who bought a vacant lot and kept
under cover while his ~ncighbors were erecting fine build
iny, finds his lot gaining in value, although he did moth
ing to add to the value.
Perhaps some fine morning we'll agree TO stop THIS
penaliring OF the men who build a city, and distribute the
tax on land, and land alone. Then we'll have no more
trouble Of property omitted from the tax rolls.
As an illustration Of the uniairness of our present tax
alton scheme, we have only to turn to the record of a
tt in the business section. This lot was sold in 1891 for
The lot changed hands a number of times, each
&ime At an advance in price. Its value now is close to
$4,000. and probably an offer of that amount would not
~ this fine parcel OF land.
MOI owner Of the lot made any Improvement on IT,
Surrounding owners Of lots improved their real estate.
Saeh improvements added enormously to the value OF the
IT that remains vacant to this day. The men who built
f3ne structures have paid the penalties in the shape Of
taxes on the improvements which they made, The owners
d the vacant lot made no improvements and paid no
penalties. But they have seen a vacant lot increase in
value from $500 to many thousand dollars.
we'll decide to change this unfair tax system, therel
be no more penalties on thrift, and there1l be no more
prcpery omitted from the tax rolls.
