REDUCING TAKES OF MILLIONAIREs.

MlltIONAlRES are being made almost overnight in
Oklahoma by the magic oil industry Yet some one
dareS propose TO reduce the gross production oil AT
present this tax at the almost insignificant rate OF two
peFcent II the legislature views the subject carefully and
decides TO change the tax that should be ADVANCED.
1t the gross production oil should be lowered and
we think IT will not, who gets the benefits? Does the
small taxpayer the who perhaps. making desperate
effort by toiling in the fields pay for home the
Oklahoma prairie get relief from taxation? Assuredy
he does II the on crude oil is lowered who gets
the concession Why the one who owns the OIL OF course
And who this oil Does the small taxpayer of the
state the toer the farm in the factory or in the.
NINE own great tank farms? Not at present, lar as
any knows
Yet IT IS proposed to lower tho gross production tax
OIL II this tax be lowered other tax must be raised
to maintain public affairs II the on oil be reduced
then the farmer will have the keen delight OF paying larger
taxes.
How do the farmer members OF the legislature feel
about IT. Do they incline the idea that they lower
the tax the millions of barrels of oil and go back
their homes IN the expectation Of being royalty welcomed
Do they dare try it?
If the Legislature wishes to do Justice let that body in
crease the tax crude OIL which is a natural resource
and then exempt the farmers of tho state the improve
mentS which they have made their farms
But farmer Legislators don't lower the oil tax and cause
your fellow farmer, be assessed at higher rate than
last year II you slice oil part OF the gross production on
OIL You SHIFT bigger tax burden the farmers. If you
increase the oil taN YOU tighten the burden of every
farmer and every other worker in the state.
Farmer Legislators. don't listen the beautiful dreams
ot the splendid sum, OF money which have been paid

LINES WORTH REMEMBERING.
The art of economy is best mastered by
those who apply to it early in life.-HUlSE-
MANN
THE TWO SYSTEMS COMPARED.

JE note that the first bill to pass the house in the leg
" islave session just convened, appropriation
measure. carrying $4,000 for the payment OF the per diem
Of members, mileage and salaries OF employees.
Nothing wrong about that since the existing system
fixes the per diem and mileage expense of members well
contempaes the expenditure of funds Tor the salaries of
employees, but scarcely escape observing that the
proposed unioamera legislative system would not require
this amount OF money for lasting all year
If need be
The unicamera system would impose the burden OF sal
aries for, say sixteen members Assuming that these sal
aries fixed at 5000 per year the total amount re.
quired for this purpose would be $4,000 There would of
course be expense for the salaries OF employees and
perhaps mileage for members but the total would be CON
siderably less than for siNy-day session
under the prcsen, system
But this is not the only economy We would be able to
find in the unismersl systcmp Instead of the expense d
legislative body which is necessarily vaguely iama
with the states business affairs and enjoying oppor
tunity for becoming So would have one which would
be in intimate touch with the same and therefore
capable of conducting them reduced expense all around
We would hYe'Een on the job who would definitely know,
instead OF guessing the needs of the state and who also
would enjoy opportunity for acting ntegently on all
questions arising
The merit OF the uncamcra system however. is not so
much one OF economy efficiency As it is about the
time member OF the legislature iamarizes himself with
state affairs his body adourns sine die and he goes home
perhaps again Under the proposed system
a member would have abundant opportunity for becoming
acquainted with these affairs and giving the the bene
fiji OF his knowledge. He would soon become an official
who IS worth the money would pay him in the form
