ssTHE 3 per cent gross production tax
on oil is one Of the essential sources
Of revenue. | believe that the law
passed by the legislature of 1916 is fair and
equitable, and | am unalterably opposed to
any effort to reopen the question or to low
er the rate. The reduction Of the gross pro-
duction tax would bring confusion to well
established revenue system, in the school
districts, townships, counties and state gov
ernments. If reduced it will demand a
readjustment and an increased levy on all
other property to meet the deficiencies
caused by such reduction"

ONE-MAN MILLS,
Stirring Development of Day Which
Points Toward the Return of
Individual Business.

Individual Business.
Leslie's: The one-man -four mill
is one of the stirring developments
of the day. 1t is sign pointing to-
ward the return of individual busi-
ness, according to Norman Hap
good. The one-man -four mill, pro-
ducing Is to SO barrels of -four a
day, is essentially the old grist mill
back again. When steam was har-
messed to do the heavy work of man
kind and machinery was invented
there was, in my opinion, mighty
benefit conferred on the ajority of
toilers. Not everybody thinks so,
but those who do not are in the
main those who have made no close
study of history from the point of
view of the lives of the majority.
One who realizes vividly the exist
ence of an agricultural laborer be-
fore steam was invited to keep man
alive, and compares it with the
shorter hours, the better clothing,
the more varied diet, the books, the
newspapers, the schools, the travel,
that mark the life of the working
man today, must think that prog
ress has been far-reaching, much
more for the mass than for the edu-
Gated minority. But the industrial
era, with its vast gain, has its draw
backs also. Just as Prussia has car
ried too far the concentration Of
state power, business combinations
in this country and elsewhere have
carried concentration of industrial
power to the point where it is wide

Use of Crossbred Wool.

Popular Mechanics Magazine: In
view of the great need for WOOL a
new carding process which makes
practical the use of crossbred wool
is of prime interest. The fibers are
reduced to lengths of from two to
seven inches, according to the use
to be made of them, and are mixed
with other wool, rag wool, shoddy,
or cotton. The fabrics produced
from the new mixture are soft and
full instead of hard and wiry.

Robertson S
Oil Platform

ssTHE only question about which there
there is controversy is the rate of
tax fixed under the law Of 1916. The
question Of whether or not this arbitrary
rate of 3 per cent is unjust and inequitable,
too high or too low, is question of fact
that can be adjusted by a comparison with
the valuation and rate of the tax levied on
other classes Of property. When this COM
parison is exhaustively made, and the rate
is shown to be inequitable and higher than
the tax on other species of property in Ok
lahoma, have faith in the fairness of the
legislature to readjust the rate"
In the last sentence it is plainly appar-
ent that the author Of this plank reached the
conclusion that the tax is too high and his
readjustment means downward.
