the Investigation of a "tax ferret," has
been filed in the supreme court by
Attorney Genera] Charles West on be-
half of G. L. Wsrson, tax ferret. <^n-
ployed by the county commissioners
of Washington county.
Wsrson, in his petition filed by the
attorney general, alleges that he was
employed by the commissioners to dis-
cover back taxes from 1908 to 1911,
inclusive, and was to receive 15 per
cent of the taxes collected as his com-
mission and that he discovered prop-
erty that had escaped taxation of a
total value °f $s00,000, mostly oil wells
and other oil property.
The petition further alleges that the
county treasurer refuses to notify the
delinquent tax payers to appear and
show cause why the amounts assessed
against them should not be spread on
the tax rolls for collection and the
mandamus is sought to compel him to
do so.

Board Defends Its Record.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—"If we can-
not show to the satisfaction of an im-
partial investigating committee, from
our records, that the state board of
public affairs has saved to the tax-
payers of the state at least $150,000
a year since the present board has
been in office, we will agree to have
some member or employe of the board
father the bill which is to be initiated
to abolish the state board of public
affairs," said E. B. Howard, one of
the three members of the board, the
other day. The board compiled fig-
ures to show that if each state insti-
tution were compelled to employ a
purchasing agent at the minimum sal-
ary it would require an annual out-
lay of $44 000 a year whereas the en-
tire appropriation for the board of af-
fairs Is $21,000 per year, including
salary, office help and all expenses.
This is aside from the saving In the

WINDMILL AS MOTIVE POWER
French Invention Applies the Princl
pie to Vehicles Which Move at
High Speed.
Long ago the patent offices of the
world came to the conclusion through
experts that few basic principles are
embodied In new Inventions. Adapta-
tions of old and well known laws of
physics merely are applied In a new
form In mechanical contrivances.
What shall be said of M. Constantin,
a French inventor who has applied a
windmill wheel to the front of ve-
hicles which move at high speed, or
which have to move against heavy
head winds? To the end, too, of con-
serving the energies which drive the
vehicle.
As we understand It, the inventor
has gone no further than the build-
ing of a small model wagon. The
wagon Is of aluminum and weighs
about four pounds. But with its
wind wheel mounted in front and
turned toward the air-driven from an
ordinary electric fan. the vehicle
takes a shoot into the wind. With a
large fan of the general office or res-
taurant type, the small wagon takes
a 6 per cent grade with a load of j
20 pounds In the wagon box.
The principle of the Invention takes
for granted that the wheel mounted j
