INJUNCTION WITHDRAWN
Taxpayers Association Keeps It's
Word With District on Resigna-
ton OF Boarl

The injunction barring the board OF
education OF Hematite township from
issuing the bonds which were voted 10
be issued By the electors OF the dis
trict was withdrawn last Monday and
the board is now busy trying TO sell
the bonds and resume work on the
building.
During the time that the injunction
has been In effect there hasn't been so
much as a caretaker at the premises
but one will be put on right away so
that the property will be safeguarded
and the odds and ends about the build
ing picked up.
Il is the intention OF the board TO
have work started Just as quickly as
some money can be got When the
bonds were voted a SO bond was sal
able but now the conditions have
changed and II is not easy to sell
bond even of that high percentage.
II is probable that some kind OF
sacrifice must be made in order TO get
money and prepare the school for use.
There will be no work done in the
old building this year. That much
has been decided upon by the board.
They feel that II would be a waste TO
spend q cent there.
While the old furniture will go a long
way towards eQuipping the rooms in
the new building there must be some
new furniture purchased for class
rooms and other extra space which is
provided in the new building but was
not in the old.
There will be Is teachers in the new
building, provided music and draw
ing instructor is secured.

DECISION OF THE
SUPREME COURT IS
OF VITAL MOMENT
TO OIL INTERESTS
OPINION GIVEN BY CHIEF JUS
TICE HOLDS INCOME FROM
LEASES ON RESTRICTED
LANDS ARE TAXABLE

Oklahoma City April 6.-The su-
preme court of Oklahoma yesterday
made two important decisions on tax.
alton matters.
In opinions written by Chief Justice
Harrison, It held that the state had
power to levy gross production tax
on mining property located on prop
erty on restricted Indian land, and
could tax the income OF individuals
(not restricted 1ndians) derived from
oil and gas obtained from leases on
restricted indian land.
One case was the appeal of the
Skclton Lead and Zinc Company from
the order of the state board of equal.
ization overruling its protest against
the gross production tax for 1919.
The questions. the opinion states,
were whether the ore from the com
panys lease on restricted Quapaw
lands was subject to gross produc.
ton tax, and whether the concentrat-
ing plants, equipment. etc, were sub
ject to advalorcm taxation.
The question Of whether the Indians
property or their share OF the produc.
ton could be taxed was not involved.
The gross production tax, said the
opinion. was on the ore and property,
with the exception of the lease. 1t
was property tax. not an occupa-
ton tax. The commercial value OF
the lease on such land Is exempt
from the tax. The order OF the
board OF equalization was affirmed.
The other case was the appeal OF
the state from the order of the dis.
trict court Of Oklahoma county. Civ.
ing Judgment to +. A. Gillespie on tho

supreme court reversed this judgment.

UPON MUTUAL AGREEMENT
FOR RAISING AND SELLING
THEIR PRODUCTS.

Chicago, April 6.-The ratification

led here today for the most important
meeting OF farmers in the history Of
our country, or any other country, has
ever recorded" in the words OF G. IL.
Gustafson, chairman of the committee.
Details OF the plan prepared during
nearly year of conferences to market
the majority of the farm products Of
the country under the most favorable
price conditions. were submitted to rep
resentatives Of the various farm organ
izations behind the proposal.
THE plan provides purely and simp-
gram of conducting his own business Of
marketing" said Mr.. Gustafson. 1T
Is purely n cooperative plan offered In
competition with existing unsatisfac-
tory methods OF marketing. We be-
lleve that. while recognizing and pro-
tecting the rights OF the consuming
public, IL insures the farmer an edut-
able and just return on his grain crops
by effecting savings. avoiding specula-
ton, preventing needless duplication Of
effort and eventually stabilizing the
market for grain crops.
1--WE are told that the farmer now
receives 80 cents OF the dollar that
the consumer pays for farm products.
There Is need TO change that ratio.
THE plan proposed by the committee
OF II US q basis OF action. called for
farmers to contract for the sale OF all
their grain as members Of the national
cooperative organization.
Several ways OF disposing OF the
grain were offered.
The principal one was for a national
pool. Machinery for handling the enor.
nous quantities OF grain anticipated,
II a national pool conducted by the
farmers of the country went into eff
feet. was outlined. This consisted In
part OF national agencies for finance
and for export.
