QUESTIONING THE TAX LAW
Oklahoma Railroads are Dexpulinir
000*000'8S|t J° luaiiifiij
Approximating eight million dollars
in taxes due from railroads and other
public service corporations is tied up
in the federal courts by actions seek-
ffig to contest the validity of Oklahoma
Auditor M. E. Trapp. suits filed in the
United States circuit court at Guthrie,
by the Frisco, Katy and Santa Fe sys-
tems against payment of 1909 ad val-
orem taxes and In the nature ot test,
only resist absolutely the payment of
$159,927. and tie up for an indefinate
period nearly a million more. Hear-
ings in these suits filed within the last
twenty-four hours will be given April
15, the railroads being protected un-
til then by temporary restraining or-
ders.
The railroads allege the ad valorem
exceeds constitution limitations and al- ,
so resist payment of the special quar- I
ter mill levy for school purposes. It I
is contended that the section providing '
the Bchool levy was inserted in the law
by the enrolling department and nev-
er was adopted by the legislature.
In 190S the railroads paid the entire
first half of the taxes due on time and
tendered a fraction of the second half.
The latter was accepted, but could not
become available until the question of
the legality of the levy was determin-
ed. The question was raised when
1909 taxes became due, April 1, 1910,
and consequently thfe advalorem tax
must be withheld from apportionment
among the counties until the pending
settled. This, too, in spite of the fact
that in almost every county the rail-
roads have tendered and paid a por-
tion of the tax.
The Santa Fe contests payment of
taxes in sixteen counties, the Katy in
six and the Frisco in two.
DISCUSSES PRICE AND SUPPLY.
Secretary Bnrrett of Agricultural
Board Give* His Opinion.
High prices of cattle and hogs, to-
gether with the apparent absolute
shortage of both, are not the result
of identical causes, according to
Charles F. Barrett, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture.
"The shortage of cattle results from
a condition," says Mr. Barrett, "which
has been growing in the West for
many years, while the extraordinarily
high prices now obtained in the bog
market can be traced to the poor corn
crop of the past two years.
"Oklahoma farmers engaged in hog
raising have been forced to sacrifice
their breeding stock to supply the de-
mand, and the high prices of grain
have aided in raising the price, which,
however, has not resulted in as much
profit to the farmer as to the packer
and retailer. .
"For many years the gradual des-
truction of the great cattle range of
the West has been transforming the
cattle business, so that now, instead
of having vast heards to draw from
in time of a suddenly increased de-
mand, it has become necessary to
raise more domestic cattleto supply
the market.
It is improbable that anything can
be done to relieve tho situation In
Oklahoma for some years. Recent
reports indicate that the number of
hogs in the State on March 1, 1910,
compared with the same date last
year, was less than 50 per cent, with
60 per cent of the cattle.
Oklahoma larmers will come into
their own if the 1910 corn crop ma-
erializes as present prospects Indicate,
resulting in cemparatively cheap feed
and continued high prices of hogs.
The introduction of packing houses,
too. should encourage the growth of
live stock in Oklahoma, and is an In-
dication of the high quality of that
now being raised."
THREE CHEERS FOR DISTRICT
JUDGE HOFFMAN
Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
C A S T O R TA
Judge Roy Hoffman has convened a
special term of the district court and
is fading into the docket in a way
that makes the honest man who
wants to see the enormous expense
connected wit hthis part of the gov-
ernment cut down, take a long and
much easier breath, and makes the fel-
low who hapes to win out on a foul
sigh and wonder where he will land.
Without throwing any boquets at
Judge Hoffman, we must say that he
is handling things in a most satis-
factory and businesslike manner, pos-
sibly not pleasing all the lawyers and
possibly some of the litigants. But if
you will stop and consider for a min-
ute, is the mission of a judge one of
trying to please lawyers and litigants?
We Jhink rw"t (l,
When this judge takes up the as-
signment, you had better begin to
walk about, because there is going to
be something going on. Business is
going to pick up, you are going to
have to play ball or be called out oa
a foul.
The people are pleased with the
business methods of Judge Hoffman;
they like his methods of doing things.
He says that he is going to clean the
docket, and we ahe very decidedly of
the opinion that the docket will be
cleaned, and what's more, kept in that
condition as long as his honor is on
the bench.
Three cheers for Judge Hoffman.—■
