HASKELL'S CHRISTMAS GIFT
To Taxpayers—An Extravagant
Special Sessicn of the Legisla-
ture.
Outline, Ckla., Dec. 21!.
The state administration ex-
tends it's Christmas present to
tax papers of Oklahoma in the
shape nt' an additional burdern—
special session of the legislature.
Will the farmers and other tax
payers accept it?
What will such a special ses-
sion cost? Not less than $100, •
000 for salaries and contingent
expenses alone, to say nothing
of appropriations demanded by
the state codifying committee,
the state corporation, the attor-
ney general's office, by several
of the seventeen state schools,
and by various other state de
partmetus, many of which have
already used their appropriation.
Only recently the code com
mission announced that it had
spent all bui £7,000 appropriated
to iio all their work, and also an
nouneed that they cannot finish
their work before the middle of
next summer, or in other words
tiie.y want, an additional $30,000
or $4n,000 to complete the work.
Then, too, it will be remtynber
id <hai only recently the state
co: porat'on commission dismiss
1 d a number of clerks from its
pH.vr"ll, announcing
and the only way that it can be
prevented is for the tax-ridden
farmers to raise the alarm and
demand that this unnecessary
extravagant, high tax special
session be not called.
WOULD FIX GUARANTY LAW.
Another thing the session is
for is to patch up the so called
bank guaranty law. The failure
of the Columbia Hank & Trust
company at Oklahoma City, last.
A MILITANT REPRESENTATIVE
The Democracy Seeking to De-
stroy McOuire for this
Reason.
(Continued from last week.)
We have discussed and brought
forward the facts relative to
"what McGuire has done" and
now let's see what anybody else
has done which would entitle
them to displace him in con
gress.
There have been several as
probable aspirants for the re
publican nomination against Mc
Guire and without naming them
specifically, what has any one of
them ever done—or what has
any man in the tirst district ever |
done which has reduced your
taxes, added to your school fundsl
or to whom you owe a debt of
pride <r gratitude by reason ol
his public services affecting the
people as a whole?
The mere fact that a man has }
more or less of a local reputation,'
is able to sound high platitudes;
end secure the publication of!
newspaper puffs about himself;
'does not indicate any practical
achievement which commands
your fealty or support.
If any man has claims for con I
gressional honors paramount
over Bird McGuire we would)
like to have those claims set;
forth in detail. We would like
to have the privilege of discuss !
ing them and if, after a candid
consideration, it is found that
his claims are superior this
paper will be only too glad to
acknowledge same.
Right is right and wrongs no

as now on the statute books, is
not worth the paper on which it boci^-
is printed. Already two demo- °ur °Pinion is that Mr- Mc

and patched 011 this law without
success, and the state adminis-
tration would call a special ses-
sion and fix the law, if possible—
not hoping it's fixing will be per
manent bit simply to play
politics within the; next cam-
paign. If a bank would break
in your town tomorrow there's
no money in the guaranty fund!
to pay the depositors, outside I
what amount the bank's assets I
would sell for.
Then, tou, a special session is
needed to patch up the Taylor |
election law, to prevent the peo-1
fie of the state from voting 011 it.
The state administration would |
patch it, so it's provisions would 1
come within the decision of the
state supreme court, which held

Chairman Harris and the rest of

Simply because McGuire is
the one republican leader who
has weathered every storm and j
always been elected by increased [
majorities—who stands as the
one man the democracy has
never been able to defeat—who!
enjoys a state wide reputation as |
a republican who has done much
for his state—and the democracy
figures that with MeGuiru de-
feated for a primary nomination
he will thus be discredited and
the republican party will have no
leader to whom it can point with
pride and say: '"This represen-
tative of ihe party has performed
that which has benefitted the en
tiro state." With McGuire de
| feated the party would have no
j men in the harness except men
of local reputation and scope,
1 thus enabling the democracy to
berate it with scorn as being a
party bereft of leadership which
had any claim upon the stati> as
| a whole.
McGuire stands as the mili
tant representative of the repub
1 ica.11 party all over the state,
hence, the democracy wants linn
destroyed and democratic news-
papers are instructed to hammer
hini into the ground if possible.
Does anyone think that the
democratic papers which are
saying such complimentary
things of all "those mentioned"
would support a single one of
them if they were able to defeat
McGuire?
Not much—they would begin
ridiculing the parly for turning
down the man who was tried and
found true and picking up some |
new found fledgling who had no I
record of state-wide accomplish- |
ment
It is therefore meet and iprop
er that the republicans of the
first district seriously consider
and weigh all matters affecting
the party at this time. To re
member that it was the demo 'displaced

Why?
Kural Route Patrons Should Buy
Stamps.
Prom a recent count made by
rural carries in one of the coun
ties in the state of New York of
coins deposited by patrons in
t'"eir boxes for the purchase of
stamp supplies, it was found
that each carrier in the county
was collect'ng an average of 115
one cent coins each week. This
average applied to all the routes
in operation througlioutthe coun-
try would give the enormous to-
j tal of about 300,000,000 one cent
coins.
Patrons of the routes out of
Hennessey saould supply them-

Cornell who met us at the depot
took us to John Cornells, Van-

1 very hearty welcome. We did
not see but very little of the
country on the car for the
windows of the car were covered
with frost and there was a heavy
mist hi the air and freezing cold,
sleeting more or less all the way
here.
The road from Deposit to
uncle Conuells lay between two
strings of hills, so we went up
and down, in and out for about
eight miles. This road is very
picturesque, a little water on
each side of the road coming
from springs up in those hills.
There was snow enough to cover
the ground and evergreens
enough on those ridges to make
the road interesting and grand.
The weather as near as I can
tell is about as in Oklahoma. I
could not believe it if some one
would have told me the weather
was warm as Oklahoma weather
