The state board of equalization
has completed its estimate of
the total valuation of the railroad
interests in the state, placing it
at $172,486,910, against the $42,-
000,000 returned by the roads to
the board. The majority of the
railroads thought that the board
would not enforce the constitu-
tional provision requiring all
property to be assessed at its fair
cash value and, therefore,turned
in an assessment of about 25 per
cent of actual value. This board
simply raised the railroads to
their cash value, after a careful
investigation as to what they
were worth on the market. The
Santa Fe road turned in its main
line trackage to the board for
less per mile than some smaller
roads which have never made
expenses or sold their bonds,
The Santa Fe rated its main line
to the board at $25,000 and was
raised to $45,000. The Katy,
which returned its valuation per
mile a trifle higher, was assessed
the same per mile as the Santa
Fe.
The Frisco linos valuation was
placed at $40,000 and the Rock
Island at $42,000 per mile.
The hoards notified the rail-
roads what their valuation had
been placed at and will give them
an opportunity to appear and
show cause why they should not
be assessed on that valuation .he
fore final action is taken by the
board.
There are 18 different railroads
operating in Oklahoma, and the
larger part of the trackage is in
the eastern part of the state. The
territorial board of equalization
last year assessed the railroads
for Oklahoma territory at $13, -
812,528 and the roads in the In-
dian Territory part of the state
paid but a small tax to the U. S.
government. The valuation as
placed by the board against the
railroads is as follows:
Santa Fe $ 20,393.760
Wichita Falls & So. West 267,310
Pateau Valley 54,390
Rock Island 44,096,880
Kans. & Ark. Valley 5,077,770
Frisco 46,514,000
Ft. Smith & Western 5,022,150

place as high a valuation on their
property as possible in order to
make a showing to the state cor
poration commission that they
cannot earn a dividend under

sion.
Roosevelt is Sorry.
The president is sorry he made
the promise not to run again,
seeing the way congress is snub
hing him. He says, however,he
will stick to his promise. But
should the party vehemently de-
mand that he again take the field
for the purpose of “saving the
country” would he be able to
withstand the pressure? There
are those who think he would
not, simply because the country
at this time, they say, demands
a continuation of his services.
And it is further argued that
rash, or ill-considered promises
should not stand in the way of
the demands of patriotism, and
patriotism being the first con-
sideration the president will
yield.
Should Roosevelt enter the
presidential race again and win
what consternation would take
possession of those congressmen
who are now defying him,either
as members of the house or sen-
ate. Wouldn’t it be an apt il-
lustration of the maxim that he
laughs best who laughs last?
But this is merely speculation.
It is more than possible that a
republican president will not be
elected this year and so all ideas
as to what Roosevelt would do
to those republican congressmen
that opposed him may be set
aside. The leading features of
national legislation which Roose-
velt hopes to see carried out, and
which are really excellent, could
be carried out by Bryan or by
any other democratic president
in the event that Bryan should
lie replaced by another.

of day ice is wanted or a charge
for special delivery will be made.
This rule will be made also in re-
gard to customers who wish to
begin taking ice. Don’t wait
until it gets good and hot along

for ice and expect to get it in
about 10 minutes. The wagons
have regular routes and we must
follow some system to be able to
serve everybody. However, we
will greatly appreciate it if our
regular customers will notify us
when neglected by wagon man.
It is the only way we have of
