What course the legislature Will
pursue with reference to some inter.
esting pending legislation is matter
of much interest to the people The
cigarette bill, which is an unusual
piece of legislation, and which has
passed che house, Is now ready to go
to the senate. II is stated that the
bill is so extraordinarily rank that it
will be permitted to die natural
death in the committee.
About the same thing, ii Is stated,
will be done with the attorney gen
erals liquor enforcement bill. This
law Is also somewhat unusual in it's
severity, and whether the state is
ready for it or not may be doubtful.
II is true that the liquor laws should
be enforced to the letter, as other laws
are supposed to be, but none of them
are.
Much interest Is also being mani.
tested in oil legislation The oil men
seem not to be taking a great deal of
interest in the situation. The legis.
lature has a right to tax the gizzards
out Of the business, ii has right to
exact from successful oil men what
is not eXacted from men in other lines
of endeavor, 1t has a right to take
what belongs to them and turn It into
the hands of careless bunch of pub
lie fund spenders and all the oil mer
can do is to protest
But the people never got rich by
oppression. No man and no state
ever prospercd by taking what did not
belong TO it. II many seem TO pros

principle that leads to placing unjust
burdens upon all men, and when that
is done government is oyeTtmown ant
revolution takes place. Oklahoma
may nave legal right To burden the
oil men, but it does not have the
moral right, and the nation that does
not heed moral law will decay.
. The oil men can retaliate against
Oklahoma by taking their wealth to
other states for investment but they
win probably not do that The oil

the state has. The Tulsa producer Is

WHAT IS CAUSE
Of Newspapers
FIGHT ON OIL?
GEORGE BLACK, TULSA OIL OP-
ORATOR, SAYS PLAN is TO ROB
THE OIL INDUSTRY WHILE THE
Ro88lNG is GOOD.

Assertions made by the Daily Okla.
homan and the oklahoma City Times
in their contest against just taxation
Of Oklahoma's oil interests and the
latter's partners in production, the
farmers, run in this way, said Mr.
Geo. Il. Black, of Tulsa, one Of the
big independent operators of the state,
yesterday.
If the farmers, being paid a royalty
of one-eighth the oil production, re-
ceived $50,OO00O0, the oil men re-
ceived $35O,OOO,OOO; therefore, the oil
men carried away $35O,OOO,OOO, all
profit
Those newspapers assume that
there was no investment, no oper-
atlng expense, no other cost Incl
dental to the pocketing of the accumu-
lated gigantic treasure, which bland,
II grossly incompetent, conclusion will
excite the ridicule of intelligent peo.
pie, particularly Oklahoma's farmers,
who have intimate knowledge OF the
enormous costs consequent upon
quests for oil and the excessive hnan-
cial risks involved.
1t is obvious that sop is thrown by
! these newspapers to the farmers as a
mere eXpedient to serve their moment
AIRY purpose, whose real motive is not
! yet fully apparent to the whole peO-
! pie. They are casting out bid for
the farmer to advocate unjust taxa
tion merely to feather his own nest
at the expense of another. Such in
tent cannot be denied, since those
newspapers admit proposal to so
heavily tax one industry of the state
as TO pay governments cost and es-
tablish an annual surplus of millions
besides.
II this gigantic surplus would be
created, why the extra burden? The
Times answer Is: Rob an industry

ing" both Of which actions we have
taken, is precisely like going to a man
you don't like and who doesn't like you
and saying to him, IF you'll like me
Ill give you 81" If friendship could
be bought like that, why not give him
IS and have him like you twice as
much?
Friendship and respect are not pur-
chasable commodities If they were,
they'd be on sale, like eggs or button

spect that won't ravel or crock
We of the United States must learn
! that we can't buy the friendship and
respect of other nations. We must
earn them. And we can't earn them
vicariously. We must earn them by
the strength of our characters, the
loftiness of our aims, the cleanness of
our souls and the tineness Of our ma
tional honor.
TO do otherwise is to emulate the
sapheaded son of wealth who thinks
10y buying wine for everybody he is ac-
cumulating friends. People may drink
the wine. but they do so while saying
TO themselves The poor sucker. l
wonder what asinine trick he'll try
next
Men and women are liked and re-
spected because they are honest, hon
orable. fearless and clean. Nations
are liked for the same qualities.
Whereby. if the United States wants
the friendship and respect of other ma
lions, let it appeal TO those other ma
tions on the basis, and the only basis.
that makes friendship and respect pos
sible.

The Wagon Wheel Paradox.

concerning an ordinary wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid. yet, when fas-
tened Oh its axle on II wagon, wien the
wagon moves part of the circumfer-
ence OF the wheel which is in contact
with the ground is for an instant at
absolute rest, while tn point directly
perpendicular to it is fiyir:; along at a
high rate of speed. The two points
horizontal with the center of the wheel
are travelling pretty fast. but only half
as fast as the tOpmOst point, and as
the upgOins horizontal point increases
in speed the downg0ing one slows up
until it is at rest for moment when
in contact with the ground. Yet the
wheel is one solid piece and there. are
only two points going at the same rate
of speed at the same time. Yet if the
wheel is taken off the axle and rolled
down an incline every point Of the cir
conference moves at the same rate Of
speed

No Argument Against This.

War costs money as we'll as blood,
and the government should feel as free
to draft wealth as il does 10 draft
men,
The principle is sound Why not
draft money? If The citizen must give
his life 10 enable his country to carry
on war, why should the property
owner be dealt with more leuiently
Is money more precious than blood ?
As long as The poor win do the fight
Ing. the men, OF large wealth may be
indifferent. They may even profit by
army contracts, bur the drafting of
property would give to the big owner
a realizing sense of the sacrifice for
which war calls Ry all means let
money and men be put upon the same
basis. AT least, let us not put money
above men.-W. j Bryan.

The New City Administration.

The message Of Mayor Sargent TO
the city council Wednesday night
shows his knowledge Of the affairs Of
the city as was expected. His ser
vice of nine years as city treasurer
gave him keen interest in all things
municipal. and the message betrays
no abatement Of that interest during
the two years he was out of office.
The message very properly lays
stress on the financial condition OF
the city, which condition demands the
government, mayor, council and de-
partments, in cutting off expenditures
wherever it can be done without a
real impairment OF the service. Co
operation in finding the leaks, and the
backbone stiff enough to stop them.
The action of the council in refus-
ing to confirm the nomination of the
mayor for chief of police is to be re-
GREETED largely because it reveals a
not to play fair with the mayor. The
fitness or otherwise of the mayors
nominee is unimpOrtant. The regret
table fact is that, as stated by the
mayor. nine members of the council
had previously promised to confirm
any man he named for chief of police
and then deliberately repudiated that
promise. leaving the mayor and the
nominee, who had not asked for the
place, in embarrassing positions. Five
members of the council, according to
the mayor, thus dOuble-crossed the
mayor at the beginning OF his term of
office, an act that leaves the much
needed cooperation in doubt.

Seeing the Garden Through.

The man who has heard and needed
the call of the nation for greater
food supply, and, accordingly, has I'M
dertaken to cultivate his back yard or
a neighbOring vacant lot must see the
task through. He must dedicate him
self to that purpose. He must remem-
Der that he means to do his bit for the
service of the nation by adding to the
nations supplies. 1t is easy to begin.
Spring turns us all instinctively to-
ward the cultivation of the soil. But
it is not so easy to finish. There will
come days when tending the garden
will not be alluring. Amusement will
call-automobilng, golf, tennis and
other sports and pastimes will tempt.
Gardening under those circumstances
will not seem as pleasant or as inter-
esting as it seems now. This every
one should understand and realize.
Back of every individual garden en-
terprise must be the sense of duty.
An abandoned garden under present
circumstances, whether it is in the
gardeners own back yard or on va
cant lot. is prima facie evidence of
Stacking. The gardener this year is
to all intents and purposes soldier
He has silently pledged himself to do
his bit in the manner elected He can
not afford to be known as a Stacker;
he must see it thrOugh.-lndianapo
