presidential candidates western

month from election day, after
covering more than 10000 miles

speeches already have passed the
200 mark ...
Headed by the league of ma
tions, democratic doctrines were
preached by Governor Cox to ten
Oklahoma audiences which roared
with approval Cheering crowds,
waving banners, brass bands, pa
rades and jammed auditoriums
marked the governors tour today,
closing here tonight with a torch
light parade, fireworks and a
rousing meeting at Convention
hall. Accompanying the candi-
date were three special cars of
Oklahomans, including Governor
j. b. A. Robertson.
With the league predominant,
Governor Cox's addresses were re-
plete with discussions of agricui-
tural questions of especial local
interest in the cotton, wheat and
oil belts through which he trav-
eled.
New Form of Attack.
A new form of attack was en-

The affair, Governor Cox de-
clared, disclosed tricks of poll

They won't fight on the level
he said. But I'm going to con-
tinue fighting on the level and
Pm going to give them a good
licking"
A new charge regarding alleged
scouts of Chairman Hays of the
republican national committee was
made by the governor at Sapulpa.
He charged that thousands and
thousands of republican agents
were posing as democrats and
telling persons whom they met
that they wanted no more demo-
cratic rule.
Smoke 25 Cent Cigars.
"These scouts" the governor
said, "have been travelling every
where I don't know how many
men viii Hays has employed.
You will find them in sleeping
cars, smoking 25 cent cigars for
the first time in their lives. Their
policy is to get into conversation
with passengers. They will say:
"'How's the election going?'
"'Well,' the scout says, L have
been democrat for twenty years
but no more of it for me. I'm DONE
There are thousands and thou

MILTON FIRM URGES
IMMEDIATE ACTION
ON COURT PETITION

Attorneys for the Doddridge-Beck
company, Milton, Ind, manufacture
ing concern, recently placed under a
receivership on a complaint filed by
one of the stockholders, Carlton
CLANCY, appeared in circuit court
Tuesday and urged Judge Bond to
make immediate ruling on a petition
submitted by the company few days
ago to have the receivership set aside.
Judge Bond indicated that his de-
cision would be rendered not later
than Wednesday.
A legal technicality was the basis
for the company's petition for the re-
moval of the receiver. Monday attor.
neys for the company advanced the
argument that the concern was en-.
tirely solvent and that there had never
been any danger Of it becoming in
solvent. They contended that under
the circumstances it was unjust to
continue the receivership.
Says Company is Sound
One of the attorneys stated that
the company, under the management
Of Harry Miller, for the past two and
a half years, has been making good
profits and is now and has been since
Miller assumed control of its affairs
on a sound business basis. He stated
that when Miller became manager the
company had outstanding indebted
ness totalling $4,000. He stated
that in the past two and a half years
that Indebtedness has been entirely
paid off and at the present time has
an Indebtedness Of only $500, that
it has $4,000 in bank and bills receiv
able totalling $1,000.
The company's attorneys denied the
charge contained in Chaney's applica
ton for a receivership that there ha1
been no audit of the company's books
under the present management They
asserted that three adults had been
made, and that the audit now being
made for the receiver showed the com
pany to be entirely solvent.
Alege Bad Feeling.
The company's attorneys further ae
MED the charge that the late Oscar
NJ Kirlin, who for two and one-half
years prior to his suicide, was secre
! tary-treasurer of the DoddridgeBeck
company, had intermingled The funds
of the company with the funds of ti's
Farmers Bank, of Milton, which con
Germ Kirlin is alleged to have wrecl.
| ed. The assert that all the company's
| funds, with the exception of small
amount, have been properly accounted
| for.
1t is asserted by attorneys for Tho
company that the petition for a re
ceivership resulted from bad feeli1s
on the part of certain stockholders
against other stockholders.

ALLEN WANTS ACTION
ON CHARGES AGAINST
CHICAGO GRAIN men

TOPEKA, Kas., Oct 19-Governor
Allen will press his demands for a
government investigation of the Chi
cago board of trade on his charges that
wheat prices have been manipulated,
he said here today upon his return
from an eastern campaign speaking
tour.
"My request to President Wilson,"
he said. was merely for an investiga-
ton as to operations on the board.
quest and believe an investigation will
show some startling facts and condi-
tons
Referring to the recent slumps of
wheat and cotton Governor Allen
said: "If it is shown that these price
fluctuations were due to speculation
cold deliberate gambling, and not
conditions Of supply and demand,~
will urge abolition of the board. In
any event I will fight illegal gambling
in necessities
1t is impossible to conceive how
various forms of gambling in the state
and nation should be made illegal and
yet become perfectly legitimate when
the spectators and gamblers are bet
ting on the prices of the food we must
cat and the clothes we must wear
Had the Kansas farmers sold their
wheat under the recent break they
would have been forced to lose $780,
100000. l cannot see the merit OF
legalized gamble in necessities by
persons who sell thousands of bushels
of grain they IN not own who buy
thousands of bushels of grain that is
never delivered"

PRODUCTION LOWERED
BY TAX ON INDUSTRY
WHITE TELLS ROTARY

GAS soon as we quit taxing indus
trial effort we will have greater pro-
duction. Taxing material, machinery
or improvements all result in higher
prices to the consumer and results in
smaller consumption which reverts
back to production" was the state
ment of John E. White, of the Henry
George Lecture association, of Chi.
cago, speaking before the Rotary club
at the weekly luncheon in the Arling-
ton hotel, Tuesday noon, on the sub
ject Relation of Taxation to Com
munity Development"
Improvement Discouraged
"The true basis of taxation is land
and land value" said Mr.. White
TOO often improvement is discour'
aged by taxes on vacant lots being
disproportionately low to the general
high rate on improved buildings
Many examples of this were given by
the speaker He pointed out the great
difference between the manufacturing
concerns of Los Angeles, Calf, where
virtually no tax is placed on improve
ments, and Fall River, Mass. where
land tax is low and building tax high
Cites Statistics
According to Mr.. White farm land
is one-third of the total of all land. All
land has a total value of one-half al
products From statistics, he said, il
Is found that one-fourth of our taxes
are on land and three-fourths on
products.
From the various examples given it
was drawn that the way to encourage
development in a community was tc
make taxes on vacant lots so high as
to encourage Improvements on them tc
lower their taxes.
The Rotary club brought Mr.. White
to the city for this special lecture. The
association with which he is con
nected has been active in studying
political and social questions such as
the one discussed.

,RETTERS GET CUSTODY
OF ADD|NCT0N CHILD

"This case" said Judge William A.
Bond in circuit court Monday, "is one
of those kind that makes judge wish
he were not on the bench"
The court was about to make his
decision in the case of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. F. Addington, of Ridgeville, Ind,
against Mr.. and Mrs. George Retter,
of near Economy, Ind, for the custody
of four-year-old Robert Addington, son
of Carl Addington, a Richmond man,
who was murdered by his wife last
January. the woman committing sui
eide following the crime. The case
was given a hearing Sept. 80 and was
a particularly hard fought legal bat
tie, the court room being filled with
residents of Ridgeville and Economy
and vicinity.
AS the judge spoke, Mrs. Retter,
grand-aunt of Robert, who has kept
the child almost a year, sat near the
bench, both arms about the child.
She was as pale as anyone who had
ever faced a court awaiting a dreaded
sentence.
Judge Ends Tension
Finally Judge Bond announced that
his decision was that Robert was to
remain in the custody of his great
aunt and uncle. Mrs. Retter sobbed,
then laughed, and tears poured down
her checks. Little Robert returned
hug for hug.
Another woman, almost hysterical
took the child from Mrs. Retter and
rushed to the side of Judge Bond.
I'VE can never thank you enough
she began, but the Judge reminded
her that his decision was entirely
judicial and declined to hear further
expressions from her.
AS the woman left the court room
one Of the attorneys for Mr. and Mrs
Addington was arguing with the court
that his ruling was illegal on the
ground that the Addingtons, who are
the paternal grandparents Of the
child. had legally adopted him last
February. The court replied that he
had made his decision after a care.
full study of the statutes and mature
consideration.
Explains Devislon
In assigning the custody Of the
child to Mr.. and Mrs. Retter Judge
Bond stated that they as we'll as Mr.
and Mrs. Addington were Christian
people and all of them were worthy OF
having the care Of Robert He said
that no matter who was given Rob
ert's custody he knew the child would
have good home, wherein he was
more fortunate than thousands OF
children.
The court indicated that his decision
to permit Robert to remain in the Gus
tody of his great aunt and great uncle
was based largely on the fact that the
child had been in their possession a
length of time to permit Mr. and Mrs
Retter to develop deep affection TO,
him and for the child to become sin
cerely attached to them.
