JOHN S. ALLAN Editor
Tax paying time coming so
soon after the beginning- of the
New Year, knocks many New-
Year's resolutions skyward in
Oklahoma.
"Nothing has been done, that
either democrats or republicans
from the standpoint of sane
conserative citizenship, can en-
dorse" is the language used by
a Stalwart democrat in Oklaho-
ma in suming up the work of
the Constitutional convention
up to present-time.
0
The delegates in Constitution-
al convention are becoming
afraid of displeasing President
Roosevelt should they put into
the constitution a provision for
separate coaches—at least this
is the tone of their talk. We
rather suspect that the truth in
the matter is that pleasing the
railroads prompts them to be
solicitous about the feelings
of President Roosevelt. It is
a convenient cloak to use to
cover their perfidy with while
pleasing the railroads.
DO YOU GET UP
WITH A LAME BACK ?
Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
Almost everybody who reads the news-
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver
and bladder remedy.
^ It is the great medl-
cal triumph of the nine-
i" teenth century; dis-
covered after years of
scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi-
nent kidney and blad-
der specialist, and Is
wonderfully successful In promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou-
bles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp.Root Is not rec-
ommended for everything but if you have kid-
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
In so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur-
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out If you have kidney or bladder trouble.

, When the Populist County
Commissioners in this county,
put the county on a cash basis,
and in order to do so increased
the tax levy a few mills the
Democrats bad all kinds of con-
niption fits. This happened in
1894 when not one-half of the
real estate in the county was
taxable. In 1896 the populist
commissioners were able to re-
duce the tax levy some and still
keep the county on a cash basis;
but in 1897, democrats took
charge a (id have continued to
have charge of affairs in the
county ever.since, and notwith-
standing the fact that the tax
able property in the county has
increased each year until now
almost every foot of real estate
is taxable, yet the tax levy
each year seems to have increas-
ed as the amount of taxable
property increased until today
a tax rate such as was paid in
1897 would be hailed with de-
light instead of derision. It is
truly remarkable how submis-
sive some men are to anything
labelled "democratic." If the
Populist commissioners had im-
posed on the taxpayers in this
County such a tax rate as they
are now paying what a lam-
basting the democrats would
have given them. It is really
pathetic to see meekness and
melancholy blended on the
countenance of a democrat tax-
payer as he walks from the
court house with all of his
pockets turned inside out, after
having secured possession of
his tax receipt for 1900 from a
democratic administration. He
.knows that because it is a dem-
ocratic tax receipt, lie has got
his money's worth. No use to
argue with him. He is satisfied.
He knows that he has been
gold-bricked; but he would die
before he would admit it. It is
not for him to ask the question,
"Why taxes are so high." For
him it is but to "dig ui> and
pay, "and vote 'er straight on
election day, as long lie has a
cent.
One week more on full pay is
all the time left of the GO days
allotted to the framers of a
Constitution for Oklahoma.
TO SELL PUBLIC LANDS
The committee on Public
lands will report to the consti-
tutional convention in favor of
the sale of the school and pub-
lic lands, to the highest bidders
giving leases preference right
to purchase. Such recommen-
dation will probably be adopted
an if so, it means, that the New
State has frittered away its
school lands. Put the school
and the public lands of the New
State into the form of Cash aud
the "looters" and "grafters"
will be furnished with fodder
until it is all gone.
Without the Farmers Union,
the cotton crop this year would
have brought not to exceed 7 or
8 cents per pound. The amount
the farmers received above this
price should be credited as pro-
fit or benefit derived from the
Farmers Union Organization.
Let the farmers in Cleveland
county figure out on above basis
the amount of profit or benefit
they have derived from Farmers
Union Organization and they
will discover that same has been
about $10. per bale. There were
fully 23,000 bales of cotton rais-
ed in the county and at $10. per
bale this amounts to $250,000
the Farmers Union has benefited
the farmers of Cleveland county
this year. In Enid the Farmers
Union Mill reduced the price of
flour to farmers from $2.20 to
$1.70 per cwt. and the Farmers
Clearannce house in Norman
through co-operation of the Nor-
man Milling and Grain Co.made
a similar reduction in the price
of flour to the farmers in Cleve-
land county. Everytime a far-
mer buys a sack of flour in Nor-
man paying 95 cents for the
same he should credi.t the
Farmers Union with from 15 to
20 cents or 30 to 40 cents per
cwt. This item alone would
run into many hundreds of dol-
lars each week in Cleveland
county. In view of above facts
should the farmers be negligent
or niggardly in the support of
their locals or of enterprises
sought to be fostered by t h e
Union.

Gcod Trade
The Norman merchants looked for
ward confidently to January and
Febuary as being good trade months
With one fourth of cotton crop still
in the field and corn crop and hogs to
market and with most of the farmers
obligations liquidated they naturally
expected much trade out of money
to be derived from rest of of crop to
be marketed; but the mild, wet and
musky weather for first fifteen days
in January has knocked the anticip-
ations of the Norman merchants
skyward as far as Januarv business
is concerned.

E. E. Brown Re-appointed,
E. E. Brown, received notice
last Tuesday of his re-appoint-
ment as Post Master at Oklaho-
ma City. Mr. Brown has made
an excellent post master during
the past the four years and was
entitled to a re-appointment.An
effort was made to defeat him
with a Rough Rider; but it did
not work with the President.
Frisco Rail Road Situation.
Editor Voice—i am just in receipt
of two ''Frisco" letters, and in sub-
stance, the situation and conditions
pertaining to the Oklahoma City-
Cornish extension of the "Frisco Sys-
tem" is about as follows, at this
time:
Matters have been going a little
slow on account of thp low tendency
of prices in the bond market,but con-
ditions are now improving along this
line. The Management believes that
by the time Locating "Engineer Mr.
W. Mathews has completed the locat-
ing survey Mr. Phillips will have re-
turned from S. A. to the Oklahoma
City office, and that by the time he
has made up contour and profile maps
of the survey, and an estimate of the
cost of constructing the extension,
the money market, by this time, will
justify their letting the contract for
constructing the line, and issuing
formal order lor same to begin,
The Management also notices that
the Constitutional Conventional now
in session at Guthrie, is inclinfed to
'legislate ' against the progress and
success at of corporations, and espec-
ially railroads. But by the time the
Management is ready, and the bond
market is right, the Constitution
Convention will have finished "legia
lating."
Locating Engineer Mathews and
his corps of surveyors removed camp
on Tuesday of this week to Dixie,I.T.
and the point of operation at this
time is one mile south of Alma, or 17
miles North of Cornish. With favor-
able weather the work will be com-
pleted into Cornish by February 1st.
Using the advise I have, as a basis,
will say firmly, that it is now my
opinion, without a doubt, that when
?) this proposed line is built it will
be built through Norman.
For the benefit of those people in
and about Norman, who own real-
estate at Cornish I will say, I am
in receipt of reliable Information
that the Rock Island railroad com-
pany formally authorized constuct-
ion to begin at once on their Ard-
more-Waurika extension via Cornish.
