The well was standardized some

ried on slowly and carefully. A
fishing job was eliminated and 1t
was necessary to underream to let
the pipe down. The plan is to go

Iowa Test Promising.
The test of the Iowa Oil and Re-
filming company on the Beauchamp
farm, three miles east of Chickasha
in section 31.7.6 is making steady
progress at around 100 feet, the
formations at this depth being blue
gumbo and streaks of shale.
This well is being drilled with n
rotary outfit and the formations
have been considered favorable. Blue
shale and blue gumbo have been pre-
dominating for more than 300 feet
and the drilling from the surface
has been marked by hard formations
Friday a gas sand was encountered,
but it was not considered of enough
importance to stop and test out. The
work is going slowly for the reason
that they are making double hole,
using the rat tail ahead of the big
bit This policy has been in force
for several weeks and two sands
have been tested with a core barrel.
John B. Nichols, manager of the
company, is very optimistic over the
general outlook of the we'll and has
stated that the formations indicate
the probability of pay well. He
expects pay sand at depth around
$3.50.

IN MEMOR1AM

A tribute of love and memory to
our dear mother, NANCY SUTTON,
who died "a years ago December 2,
1897.
The midnight stars are cleaning,
Upon her silent grave,
The One we loved so dearly,
And tried so hard to save.
The dear one now is sleeping,
No care is on her brow
Oh blame US not for weeping,
We have no mother now.
On you dear mother we could depend,
And knew we had one sincere friend,
And the hours on earth you spent,
Your heart to ours was always
bent.
And when God summons US from
this life to happiness true.
At the gates you'll be waiting dear
mother to welcome and greet US
anew.

ment as to both the Constitution and the previous de-
cisions- II this were not true as \ matter OF principle,
then no constitutional amendment could be c~onstitu-
tional il IL were contrary to any courts decision in
the last 100 years.
Grant, II you will. that this decision forbids normal
taxation or grants normal exceptions. which are the
same thing, on state securities, il cannot be h.ia TO
apply TO surtax income exemptions. The sphorism
that "the power TO tax is the power to destroy" ms
applied to the taxation Of state securities, is mean
ingless, for congress. which has the power, IL COM
posed of the Representatives Of the states whose Sc
curities might be taxed. There is no destruction Of n
states credit to take away exemptions from surtax in
comes On the contrary, 1t initiates that credit to a
degree not warranted by the Constitution itself.
Surfaces are imposed by the national government
on large incomes for the express purpose of collect
ing from that source a revenue in proportion to the
size of the income. The object is defeated in a large
measure IL this incomes from state securities are ex-
empted from the surtax income. Such exemption, IL
cannot be questioned, results in throwing upon the
rest of the people Of the United States subject to in
come tax the burden Of the amount of the taxes thus
Exempted.
surtaxes on incomes are n new thing in federal
taxation, and no former rulings or decisions cover all
the points which such a new condition has brought to
the fore. Federal income taxes are personal taxes
direct taxes. The people and not the states are the
basis for such taxes. Equality of taxation must be
applied TO the individual in all taxable classes. Let
the case as to exemption on surtax incomes be pre-
scented to the supreme court, and let It apply s'the
rule of reason" in the light of present-day facts and
conditions.

ENTIRELY TOO MUcH JAZZ.

Louis Calmans a noted violinist and former instruc-
tor in music in the University of Brussels, speaking on
the subject says of jazz:
az wish to discourage a taste for jazz that is unfor-
tunatety too common in the youth Of this country.
Jazz is not music. / wouldn't play jazz II I could. It
does not make for a refined outlook on life among the
young folks. It gives them a false viewpoint.
81 will later encourage the young people to study
good literature. With n taste for the best music and
the best literature they will have taken long strides to,
yard the paths that are best in, life. jazz will never
accomplish that. Jazz has no refining influence jazz
is n mistake in American life. As an American citi-
zen L deplore it; as a musician I loathe it"
And taking this criticism as n text n critic extends
the subject to include the jazz in many other things.
The Significance Of these remarks is not confined to
music. We have jazz today also in painting, seulp-
ture and poetry, and assuredly in dress. But that is
not my subject. What we call jazz is the return to
savagery. 1t is elemental and hysterical. It is frenzy
excited by the pounding of tom-toms; it is distortion,
abandon, otesquerie-literally ga tale told by an
idiot. full of sound and fury, and ~signifying nothing"
1t antedates the war. In graphic art it began with
Aubrey Beardsley, who may have had a genius for
line, but who drew, not human beings, but devils. 1t
eliminated in cubism, post-impressionism and other
manifestations of insincerity and diabolism. Its fig
ures have not now even the vitality of devils; they
have dwindled to featureless things like BARRIERS
blocks, totems and primitive idols, which those who
make them have the impudence to represent as SYM
bolic conceptions of things human. The beautiful
white flame of sculpture has suffered n like degrade
ton. This is visible jazz; and manifestly it "cometh
of eviI.' n
jazz in poetry is the hardest to fight, since poetry
has the widest field of expression and is most subtle
III It's propaganda distorted IDEAS. rec verse WAS
only q mild beginning; the deliberate cult of the mean
and grotesque is the end. Much Of it is mere fash
light imagery; and its votaries are seeking, not art,
but notoriety.
jazz has permeated the soil Of all the arts, like q
corruption. Much of the modern music
which is not literally jazz is infected with the spiiit
of jazz. The immoral in art Is not the lusty frank
ness of mediaeval days, it is rather a conscious and de-
lberate lowering of the standards Of beauty and good
ness.
Music, of course, Is essentially incorruptible, but
when senseless bowling and banging are offered US I'M
der the name of music, and young people dance to
this mad rhythm, the dance becomes mere savagery,
and we have the dreadful developments which of late
years have offended our souls.

MoLocH I'M THE CELLAR.

"Man as a householder, prating of his independ-
ence, Is free in actual fact for only five months out Of
the TWELVE asserts the Philadelphia Ledger. 1.-THE
rest of the time he is a slave, a subject creature, bound
with chains unbreakable though unseen. He suffers
under a tyranny worse than that of women; memorable,
merciless. And his little, private, absolute monarch
lives in the poor devils own cellar.
Taking form similar to the black and tenacled &C.
topus, that tyrant abides stationary and causes offer
irgs to be brought to him for the burning. His hor-
rid mouth opens early in October and abates not its
demand until the putting-up time of screens in the
spring. Food is his constant demand, and air; atten-
ton he Graves, and with lowly obseisance must the
wretched slave peer morning and evening into glow
ing heart of his tormentor, offering for demolition
choice morsels at s15 a ton.
For it is furnace-time again; we say 1t with groans.
Up the stairs and down the stairs, and shovel it in
right generously, If you want peace in the house.
Throughout the summer Tuesday has been merely a

boisterous winds whirl around his little warm house.
and he finds balm in the sense Of a fight well won. A
good brisk fire he leaves, with that stubborn far cor
ner burning at last, and no cold, dark spots. Those
results have not been accomplished without labor and

HI REASONS WHY.

The Tribune had no part in the selection of Mr.. w.
A. Blackmore as a candidate for mayor. Neither did
ir take part in choosing any other candidate for any
other office on any of the tickets presented for pub
lie approval We believe that duties Of this sort be-
long absolutely to the people. and they are the ones
most interested, and should make their own selections.
After all Of the candidates had been announced we
rendered our support to Mr.. Blackmore. We believe
him the best qualified Of all the candidates and the
best man to handle the public business. He repre-
aents the best there is in morality. sets a perfect ex-
ample for the community, is honest, clean and straight
in all of his dealings, above the petty deceits and hates
graft and double dealing.
The affairs Of the people of Casper will be perfect
ly secure in his hands IL they elect him mayor. The
assessment of taxes and the disbursement Of public
money will be carefully scrutinized and Mr.. Black
more possesses special knowledge on both income and
outgo.
There is nothing Eighty or visionary about Mr..
Blackmore. He is all straight business and a man who
looks closely after details. These are sufficient rea-
sons 30 attract any wel-wisher of the community.
Mr.. Blackmore has not gone abroad promising to
appoint this man or that man chief of police or prom
Using any other things of value with a view Of obtain
ing support. He does not believe in such cheap tao
tics and does not practice them.
The people have confidence in him and what he
will do.
is supporting Mr.. BlackInore and why we do not hesi-
tate to tell the people they will make no mistake in
electing him mayor.
