Fifty Oil Derricks
Go Down in Storm

Wichita Falls, Tex.-Seven persons
were slightly injured and so oil der
ricks were blown down in the Burk-
burnett fields, and telephone service
was demoraliezd by windstorm which
swept Wichita County Wednesday.
Several derricks were blown down
across the Burkburnett pike, carrying
with them a tumble of telephone wires
and poles. The loss was in excess OF
$15O,0OO.
Carrying a driving rain, the wind
reached a velocity of SIS to 60 miles
an hour.
The Texhoma Oil and Refining Com
pany was one of the heaviest losers.
The Sinclair Oil Company lost five
derricks, three in the northwest field
and two Is miles away in the Tex
homa field. Former State Senator
Tom FISHERMAN of Oklahoma was
caught in the storm, and said he saw
- derricks go down almost at the
same time.
Wichita Falls suffered only the tail

|M' ADOO SUGGESTS
REDUCED TAXATION
Saws Present Burden Is Hav-
ing an Injurious Effect On
Business.

Washington.-An immediate billion
dollar reduction in federal taxes was
suggested in a statement issued FIJI
lay by William G. McAdOo, former sec
'etary of the treasury. The present
AK burden is too great, he said, and
is having an injurious effect on bush
ness"
Mr.. McAdoo proposed the collection
of a tax to establish sinking tund
for retirement of the war debt, which
was recommended by former Secre-
tary Glass, to begin with the fiscal
year 1920, be postponed for two years,
and that the deferred payments OF
European interest be funded until Eu-
roe is in a position to pay its interest
charges.
"The financial policies of the ma
ton. as embodied in future congress
sional legislation,' said Mr.. McAdoo,
should realize the utmost economy IN
expenditure, and might well fund IN
long-term bonds $1,000 100000 per an
mum for two years. or the amount now
raised by taxation.
Under the laws a tax to establish
J | per cent sinking fund TO retire bonds
( now outstanding is to be collected, be-
/ ginning with the fiscal year 1920.
This might be postponed for at
least two years, and thus reduce the
tax burden by $250,0OO,O00 annually
There, too, is the debt which Europe
owes us, and which now amounts to
about $1O,O00,O 100000. If economic
restoration of Europe had proceeded
far enough so that Europe could no"
pay interest on this debt las she VIII
be able to do within few years., we
should have an income of $5O0.00o,Ool
from this source. But that is not no"
available. Why not fund that amount
against the day when it will come bacf
to us? By postponing for two years
the establishment of a sinking rune
and funding the deferred payments O
Europe's interest, we should cover
S75OOO0,O00 of the $1,000, 100000 D!
which our taxation might be reduced
bv disseminating purchase OF llbert.
bonds for retirement under provision
: of existing law The treasury Woul'
be relieved of a large burden now re

otherwise will have to be made up b.

plished and that it would involve tn
