Election on Locating
Community Building
In Park To Be
Held April Isl

Last night representative bodv q.
men, largely members Of the Rotary
Club or other organizations interest
ed in the erection of a community
building, appeared before the CITY
Commissioners and requested that
an election be called for the purpose
OF taking the sense of the people as
70 whether they favor such a build
ing being placed in Mum Park.
The Commissioners graciously &C.
ceded to the request, and by unani-
nous vote decided to call the election
for the earliest date consistent with
its proper advertising, and fixed the
da'e Of such election for Tuesday, the
first day Of April.
1t should be understood that this
election is merely to settle the point
as to whether the building may be
erected in the Park. Mr.. M. G, Mum
has heretofore entertained some OBJ
lection to building being placed in
the Park, which was donated to the
city by his father, Hon. A. G.. Mum,
When approached on the present
proposition, however, Mr.. Mum stat
ed that if a majority of the people
desired such building erected here
he would withdraw his objection
Hence the election that has beer
called.
The movement for this community
building as a permanent and suitable
memorial for Lakeland's soldiers ant
sailors, originated with the Rotary
Club, which is deeply interested il
the project. The Club has beer
joined by other strong organizations
of the city, this being project il
the carrying out Of which every man
woman and child can unite.

Oklahoma City, Jan. H.-Scnator
Fred T. Tucker yesterday offered
two important resolutions in the
senate. One OF the Tucker resolu-
tons will make the gross production
tax on oil and gas apply to restrict
ed Indian land leases and bring a
large revenue to the state. The re-
solution which is concurrent, pro-
poses the amendment OF the cousti-
tuition to make the taxation of the
restricted lands effective. The re-
solution embodieS all the provisions
OF the statutory enactment, with
out change, with this exception.
The other resolution offered by
Tucker cmbodies the graduated land
tax plan along lines heretofore de-
scribed, except that it cNcmpts graz
ing and timber lands. The measure,
ii passed, will not apply to large
bodies OF unproductiye land, such
as the Arbuckle mountain distric;
and eNemptS timber lands until the
timber has been cut oil.
Senator Tucker also introduced
Senate Bill No, oil, which, il enact.
ed, will repeal the income tax law
Former Gov. Lee Cruce was a
visitor in the senate chamber yester-
day afternoon and was invited tc
address the body. Governor CrucC
directed a large portion OF his re.
marks to a suggestion of economy
He urged that it is unwise to issu,

at $2 a bushel and then have to pay
them off when the commodity sell,
