special equalisation now. for tnc a cess-
ment is uniform. On the first of ihe year
the county assessors of the territory
met in this city and agreed upon a l a-
sis of Value for all property. Then they
went out and* assessed the pro, . rty at
this value. And the values as fixed did
not reach over one-third of the real
value.
Those who have b en howling about
Ihe assessments in J ' in county do i >t
know what they are talking about. The
best land In this county,—land you could
not buy for *50.00 an acre—is put in at
$13.00 an acre. Cattle and mules are as-
sessed at one-fourth to one-half their
real value, and all other llvestocl
same way. There may be some discrim-
inations, but the assessor took the book
of his deputies and wont over them am
made as nenrly as possible an individual
equalisation of property .and he finds in
Logan county a little over $1.>'00.000 worn olher-
—Just about one-third of tho real value.
It Is expected from present indications,
that tho assessed value of the territory
will reach close to sixty million this year;
an increase of twenty million. Th s
comes mostly from growth , >f cour t ,
hut the result Is also traceable to uni-
formity of assessments made possible by
tho county assessor plan. Wo bel eve the
people will like thU plan, as they tot

The instructions of Judge McAtee,
printed In this Issue ,to thf> Garfield
county grand jury indicates a determin-
ed purpose on the part of the populist
county attorney and certain other men of
democratic tendencies to run the negro, s
out of Enid and Garfield county. The
action of Judge McAtee, meets, we un-
derstand, the b. st judgment of the ma-
jority of the people of that county.
Were this done In some southern states
or In a part of Oklahoma dominated by
men from the part of th state where the
negro 's used for everything, but allow-
ed no political rights, We would not be
surprised; but In Garfield county, a large
part of whose people came from Kan
where political liberty Is ns sacred
any other kind, it is a surprise.
That vigor will be put tnto the pr<
cutlon of the men who are said to have
mobbed the cako walk is evidenced by
the calling of a special grand Jury an
the appointment of a special «■ unt.v a:
