test by Oklahoma oil companies, ID
involved in q decision Of the supreme
court handed down in which the 8 pes
cent gross production tax law passes
by the 1916 state legislature Is do
clared valid insofar as 1t applies to
Usage Indian reservation leases.
The money already in the stare
treasury is being held until the oil

cision, or until the case is taken to-
the United States supreme court and

the state alleges is due 1t under terms
OF the law has neither been reportes
nor paid.
The opinion of the court was writ
ten Dy Chief Justice ]. F. Sharp. The
ruling of the court upholds the power
of the state to impose and collect the
special tax on oil and gas production
in Usage county, on property which
was formerly the tribal lands Of the
Usage Indians and which is now being
under the supervision OF the
Of interior.
The opinion came in the case OF the
Large Oil Company against q. B.

appeal from the district court OF Ok

tanning a demurrer to plaintiffs petit
ton which resisted the collection OF
the tax.

PARKING ORDER SUSPENDED
FOR BENEFIT OF VISITORS

One of the features Of the invasion
of Liberal by the Good Roads en-
thusiasts of three states last Monday
was the receptive mood of the people
of Liberal. Liberal has long been
noted for her hospitality. and this
instance was no exception. AS mark
of appreciation of the callers, the or
dinance requiring cars to be parked
in the middle of the street, together
with other regulations incident there
to, was suspended during the time
the strangers were in town. They
were allowed to park their cars any
old place they liked, and nothing was
said about 1t.

WE Apologize

The publisher feels that he owes
an apology to the subscribers this
week. We had expected to set the
paper on our machine, but missing
part failed to show up, and by the
time this was discovered it was too
late to get up much of paper and
have the work done outside. How
ever, we will promise to make up for
it as soon as that machine gets to
going. We hope our readers will
have patience---we have lost ours.

we congratulate her. II a town can
