plea that the two men wanted a ride

! Gypsy OIL company case and then
take the matter under considera-
ton as 70 the best course to pursue,
Inasmuch as this case was decided
offhand by the supreme court Of
the United States, it may be that
no mandate will ever be issued. The
Washington correspondent of The
World can look the matter up and
find how the matter stands and
thereby confer favor on the oil
men
The state was beaten fairly, as
everyone knew II would be. When
the case was started IL was plainly
pointed out that the supreme court
of the United States had declared
that a gross production tax on coal
taken from Indian lands was uncon-
sttutional, Illegal and void, and
still the attorney general who hap
pened to be holding office at that
time was Of the kind who likes to
get the state into lot of useless liti'
cation and so the tax on oil went
through the legislature and now Is
knocked out bodily.
1t Is understood that the supreme
court of the United States will not
even take the time to hear. any
more cases of this kind from okla e
homa and so the quicker the matter
Is settled and the money returned
to its lawful owners the better 1t
would be for all concerned.
Every day of delay adds to the
big majority a Republican candi- =
date for governor would get were
the election held now

end to this monkey business as the
money is needed to pay taxes right
now.
None Others Are So Generous.
After promoting four campaigns,
wherein $4,000 was raised in Tulsa
in loss than onoe years time for
patriotic work, e. Rogers Kemp,
president of the Tulsa Red Cr6sl
chapter and member OF the national
Red Cross council, says with en-
thusiasm and warm gratitude that
the fourth campaign was the easiest
of the lot -

when the call came for tlsO,OO0,

how much trouble we would have
RAISING II, we nau raised "a lS,UV0
in eleven months time. and coming
pat on the heels of the third Liberty
Loan campaign--well, l wondered,
that's all.
"One bank president, celebrated
for his patriotism and his patriotic

RoXana Has Showing at Lucien.
The well Of the Roxana Petro-
leum company on the Livingston
farm In 9-20-2w, near Lucien. has
showing OF gas at 2.269 feet that
Is enough to bubble the5 water and
operations are shut down prepar-
ing to make way into the sand. or
whatever the forma lion may be that
is showing.
The Roxana certainly deserves
credit for having stayed with" the
well land deserves producer If
anybody ever did. The first hole
was drilled with standard tools to
2,26l feet and there they lost the
hole Another test was started and
a big rotary outfit from Yale did
the drilling until recently when cable
tools were installed again and the
rotary shipped back to Yale. A
east corner OF the southwest OF 22
that 1t Is possibly uBcomparablo has
had to be contended with since the
l,S00'foot depth was encountered
and the depth OF the present show
ing is described by those who have
followed the well closely as being
eight feet deeper than they have
over been before" The Roxana has
been trying to make the test for
approximately two years and so far
1t is estimated TO have cost the own
ers $40, 0,000---and then there will
be found those pessmists who knock
on higher price for gasoline.

Help Is Not Scarce in wyoming

Vance Rowe OF the Carter Oh
company is in the city from Wyo-
ming and states that while there Is "A
lot Of drilling activity In that state
that false reports going the rounds
in this section that drillers and tool
dressers are needed in that section
have caused an influx Of men that
operators are unable to supply with
jobs. There Is not a day that less
than eight applications are turned
down at our Wye ming office" he
said, "and this Is shame. mas
much as trip from here up there
costs in the neighborhood Of S75
and is money lost"
Mr.. Rowe says that not less than
so per cent of the drilling outfits
in wyoming are rotaries and this
percentage is raised to about SIS per
cent in the Big Muddy pool which
is the principal field If an opera
tor is lucky 3,000-foot hole to the
Wall Creek sand may be drilled In
three months, Big Muddy is now
producing 1000 barrels. Approx
mately 400 wells are either drilling,
shut down or are rigs.

State Officials Maligned

In this paper on March 7th
ult., mention was made editorial
ly of the fact that, during that
week, a gentlemanly appearing
stranger at the local railway sta
ton, in the presence of this editor
and of Mayor S. F. j. Trabue, had
made injurious charges against
our state officials. A specific
charge was that they had paid
81, 10000 for a shaft that was in
stalled at the State Hospital at
Chattahoochee; whereas, he, the
stranger, had installed an almost
exact duplicate of that shaft at
Quincy for only $3.50.
Believing that the state officials
should know about this and
should be given an opportunity to
explain, The Herald made the
charge public, stating at the same
time that it did not credit it. This
disbelief in the strangers charge
was based on the fact that the edi-
tor is personally acquainted with
several of the state officials and
knows that they would not coun-
tenance any kind of graft in
either their personal or official &C
tons, and he entertains the same
opinion of the officials with whom
he is not acquainted
The publication of the charge
had the desired effect, and the
state officials at once inaugurated
an investigation with the result
that they have completely cleared
themselves of even the suspicion
of wrong-doing.
! The investigation disclosed the
fact that the author of the charge,
who, at the time of making it, de-
clined to give his name, though
asked to do so, was Mr.. j. r. Mar
tin of Tallahassee. He admitted
making the charge, but tried to
place the blame on this paper by
saying he was incorrectly quoted.
AS to this, Mayor Trabue of Pun
ia Gorda, will substantiate the
correctness of The Herald re-
lport.
The State Engineer, in his re-
port to the Board of State Insti-
buttons, explains the difference be-
tween the shaft installed at Quin-
cy and the one installed at Chat
tahoochee. The former was a
simple shaft for a piston rod to
the engine; whereas, the latter
was a very intricate and expen-
sive piece of machinery, compris-
ing ga complete transmission sys-
tenn covering vertical shaft and
flanges with beveled spur gears
for two water-wheels having large
pedestal bearings and clutch
couplings, horizontal shafts and
pedestal bearings for connection,
with herring-bone gears, to two
herring-bone pinion gears and
shafts, together with their bear
ings for connection with flexible
couplings to two triplex fire
pumps, also connected, so that
either water-wheel could be made
to drive either or both pumps and
that either or both pumps could
be driven by belts from the steam
engine and that either pump could
be driven by electric motor"
The State Engineer says that he
spent considerable time trying to
get lower price and that he
finally bought the machinery from
la concern of the highest rcputa-

ton, viz: The Dean Pump Co., of
Holyoke, Mass No doubt he has
the bills and the vouchers given
him by the company, the publica-
ton of which would have been
amply sufficient, without any
technical explanation of the ma
chinery, to completely exonerate
both him and the State Board of
any suspicion even, that might
have been aroused by Mr.. Mar
tin s charges.

Brother Jones says that, even
if Whitehurst should be elected,
he would find it impossible to di-
vide the county, even to make one
division of it; that the legislature
would pay no attention to any di-
vision bill that he might intro
duce. If Brother Jones really be-
lieves that, why is he opposing
Whitehurst? Why not give the
young man" a chance? Why
discourage youthful ambition? If
Whitehurst cannot divide the
county, he may secure the enact
ment of some wise legislation; so,
let's try him.

We have been greatly pro-

BILE to say word in deserved COM
mendation of that red-blooded A
merican, Frank l.. Huffaker, who
resigned his position and fine sal
airy as editor of the Tampa Times
in order to enter the service of his
country. He is bald-headed and
his eyes are affected, but so deter
mined was he to do something for
his country and so persistent in
his appeals to that end that he
was finally accepted and assigned
to duty in the recruiting and pub
licity service. And he is making
good-or course he is-and his
thousands of friends are proud of
him. We are tempted to give his
literature the right-of-way in The
Herald over everything else, and
would do so but for the fact that
Punta Gorda has already sent
practically all of her available
young men into either the army
or the navy and so few are left
that the space which might be
used to induce these few to enlist
can be more profitably used in be-
half of war saving stamps, the
third liberty loan and the needs of
the Red Cross. But Frank HUFF
faker is doing splendid work and
every Floridian should rally to
his support.
