SHOW to the most preudicod that the
burden placed upon the oil industry
was entirely too great, as measured
BY the amount of taxes paid by others
Attention was also called by other
speakers to the fact that the farmers
in many sections of the state have
been benefited by the advent of the oil
men, as they have been enabled to pay
off their mortgages with the money
derived from the sale of leases and the
rentals therefrom, and that where oil

A BAD BACK
MADE GOOD


Backache Of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder. which
means that the kidneys are not work
ing properly Poisonous matter and
uric acid accumulate within the body
in great abundance, over-working the
sick kidneys, hence the congestion Of
blood causes backache in the same
manner as similar congestion in The
head causes headache. You become
nervous, espondent, sick, feycrish ir-
ritable, have spots appearing before
the eyes, bags under the lids and lack
of ambition to do things
The latest and most effective means
Of overcoming this trouble, Is to eat
sparingly over meat, drink plenty Of
water between meals and take a single
Anuric tablet before each meal for a
while.
Simply ask your favoritc druggist
for Anuric double strength if you
aren't feeling up to the standard. If
you have lumbago, rheumatism, drop.
sy, begin Immediately this treatment
with Anuric Most scientists and med
ical men believe that because of an
overabundance of uric acid in the
system, uric salts are deposited in the
tissues and cause rheumatism and
gout
The physicians and scientists at
Or. Pierce's Institution in Buffalo, n
Y. have thoroughly tested Anuric and
have been with one accord successful
in eardicating and throwing of from
the system the uric acid which ac
cumulatcs and poisons. Patients hay
ing once used Anuric at this inslitu
tion have repeatedly sent back fol
more
Such a demand has been created
that DR.. Pierce decided to put An
uric in the drug stores Of this coun
try in a ready to use form. 1t will be
their own fault if those suffering from
uric acid troubles do not take adyan
tage of this wonderful remedy.

OIL MEN OF THE STATE MEET

ING RELIEF FROM THE UNJUST
OIL TAX.

y large and representative gather
ing of oil men from the various oil
producing sections of the state met in
the Lee Hucllins hotel, Oklahoma CITY.
in response to a call issued by Geo
f. Black of Tulsa, pursuant to re.
quest from large number of oil pro
ducers and held a very enthusiastic
and business-like meeting yesterday.
This was perhaps the largest gath.
ering Of oil men ever assembled i'm
the state and the proceedings were
marked throughout by disposition
on the part of all present to be fair
with the governor the legislature and
the people, and the sentiment was
often voiced that the oil men did not
want anything but justice and they
expressed their determination of not
asking for any more than that they
be put on the same basis as other tax
payers Of the state.
The meeting was called to order by
George +. Black of Tulsa, and Mr..
Cyrus Avery of Tulsa was elected TEN

Upon report of the committee, the
following resolutions were unani.
mously adopted:
Whereas, It can be demonstrated
to the governor and the legislature OF
the state of Oklahoma that the re.
suit Of the present gross production
tax law of the state is to impose upon
the oil producers of the state more
than their share of the burdens OF
taxation, and
Whereas, the record Of the presen'
governor, the Honorable Robert i
Williams, and his administration ha.
been such as to inspire Us in the belle
that any measure proposed will be
fairly and impartially considered by
the administration. and
Whereas, reduction OF the gros.
production tax on oil to two per cen
may be effected without producing
deficiency in the needed revenue o.
the state and without Increasing tn,
burden Of taxation on any other char
acter Of property in the state.
Now therefore. be It resolved b,
the oil producers Of Oklahoma, in con
vention assembled, that the goycrno
and legislature of this state be- an,
they hereby are requested to take sucl
action as will result in the reduction
OF the rate of taxation provided Il
