territory of three-tenths of one mill on
the dollar for the year 1901, and h tax
of four-tenths of one mill on the dol-

"It will be observed by an examina-
tion of the law that a sum not exceed-
ing 60 per eentum of the amount real-
ized from the tax levies before men-
tioned, is to be applied bv the board of

any union against its will, and the
and I °"'y effect which the fight will have
may lie to delay the admission of Ok-
lahoma.
Recent Washington advices predict
the passage of an Oklahoma bill, but
they makt it plain that there must be
a perfect understanding among the
people of the two territories. Con-
gress will in all probability take no
hand in any quarrel, though it is rep-
resented as being w illing to give the
people what they want if they just
make up their minds what they uo
want. The Indian Territory conven-
tion now in session voices the idea
that the territory is not ready for

it will be after the big state reception
is held. The people of the state are
entitled to give him the first welcome.
We will take preliminary steps atonce
to arrange for the reception."
It is barely possible that Funston
will arrive in Kansas on Kansas day,
January 20. If he strikes Hnn Fran-
cisco shortly before that date be will

in Topeka on the morning of Kansas
