TAX FERRET TEST
Validity of Law Hinges on Whether
It is a Revenue Measure
GUTHRIE: The supreme court Fri-
day morning heard arguments in be-
half of and against the "lax ferret"
law passed by the ftrst legislature,
the constitutionality of which is at-
tacked in the petition of George An-
derson, a real estate holder of Logan
county, against whom action was be-
gun by County Treasurer Ritterbush.
Chief Justice Williams from the
bench, in the midst of the discussion
summed the issue of the argument in
a concise manner when he stated that
the whole question hinged on "Whether
the ferret law should be construed a
revenue measure, as that act is de-
termined by the constitution; that, if
the new statute is of such a nature it
is invalid, because it originated in
the .upper house of the legislature and
was adopted during the last Ave days
of the session.
C. G. Hornor, of Guthrie, represent
ed the petitioner before the court and
Judge M. Fulton, of Oklahoma City,
appeared for the defense. The case
was submitted on arguments.
Battery to Make Cross Country Hike
FORT SILL: Equipped with small
arms, camp equippage and all the ac-
couterments of war, battery B of the
first field artilery at Fort Sill under
the command of Lieutenant M. E.
Pratt, will leave the post here shortly
after the first of October for a cross
country hike of 250 miles upon which
they will be absent more than a week.
The march will be made from Fort
Sill to Oklahoma City, where the
troops will stop a day or more and
the remainder of the necessary dis-
tance will be made on the march back
the present plan being to board a
train after the 250 miles is covered.
NEW ASSESSMENT ON STOCKS
BOOK COMPANY OBJECTS
Refuses to Stand for Indiscriminate
Exchange of Books
GUTHRIE: "I don't see how th«
state can remedy the situation, it is
indeed serious," said State Superin- i
tendeut of Education Cameron in dis- j
cussing the refusal of Glun & Co., one
of the largest book concerns holding
contracts with the state, to allow tho
retail dealers handling its text books |
to exchange regardless of grades.
Superintendent Cameron thought
the matter settled favorably to the
state but a special representative ol
Ginn & Co., who arrived from Dallas,
put a stop to the general exchange ol
old and new books.
The contracts with the companies
specify for the exchange of the books
of the same grade only but it also
applies to the law passed by the first
legislature. This act as interpreted
by Mr. Cameron does not limit the
exchange to books of the same grade
but provides for an indiscriminate ex-
change.
Superintendent Cameron has re-
ferred the matter to the legal depart/
ment.
OPPOSES STATE AGENCY
Oklahoma City Merchants Successful
in Plea to State Board
GUTHRIE: After a hearing accord-
ed a committee from the Oklahoma
City chamber of commerce, the state
board of equalization has ordered a
new assessment of merchants' stocks
and credits in Oklahoma county. The
state board had previously raised the
assessments upon these classes of
property from 100 to 900 per Cent
above the returns made by the coun-
ty board. A strenuous protest follow-
ed from the business men of Okla-
homa City who claimed that the raise
worked a great hardship upon the
business interests and boosted values
away above their actual cash value.

Kay County Civic League Adopts Res-
olutions Against System
NEWKIRK: At a meeting of the
Kay county civic league held recent-
ly, the following resolutions *«re
unanimously adopted: ,f
"That we are now, as we always
have been, in favor of state wide pro-
hibition as expressed in tlie constitu-
tion of Oklahoma; that we are op-
posed to the adoption of article 1 ol
senate bill No. 61, extending the
state agency, but are not opposed to
the establishment of an agency sys-
tem in accordance with the constitu-
tion."
Two years ago the Kay county civio
league adopted resolutions in. favor
of prohibition in the constitution. An-
other meeting is called for October
2, when steps will be taken to make
an active campaign against the adop-
tion of the agency system in the
form proposed and submitted to tho
people.
Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-informed in every
walk of life and arc essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it i not claimed that Syrup of Figs
anil Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanse*,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acta without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally nnd
truly as a laxative, and its comjwnent
parts arc known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection-
j able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine-
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug-
gists.
Decorations for Women.
There are few decorations for wom-
en in Europe, the most ancient order
coming from the Austrian throne. It
is tho decoration of the Star and ( ru-
cifix and is given to women of high

ed in memory of the beautiful queen
of Prussia, whom Napoleon insulted.
This order is given to all classes of
women who commit any great self-
sacrifice.

Oklahoma Banking Board Finds That
It Has Money Enough
GUTHRIE: The state banking
board adopted a resolution for the re-
turn of their assessment to al nation-
al banks which came in under the
depositors' guaranty law. It is stated
in the resolution that the full asses-
ments paid in by the bank will be
returned, as the expenses of adminisj
tering the funds have been more than
exceeded by the income from it.
Altogether fifty-seven national
banks went in under the guaranty,
but between fifteen and twenty have
been converted into state banks or j
have announced Iheir Intention of j
doing so. Between thirty and forty j
national banks will be affected.
The resolution criticises Attoritsy
General Charles J. Bonaparte for giv-, |
ing "an ex .parte opinion" that nation- |
al banks in Oklahoma must withdraw
from the depositors' guarantee law or
forfeit their charters.

Commissioners of Muskogee County |
Appeal Case
GUTHRIE: The litigation over the
possession of the office of conimifi- j
sioner of Muskogee county, which oc-
casioned statewide interest about the
time the two territories were admit-
ted to statehood, has been appealed
to the supreme court.
The plaintiff in error, W. R. Har-
riS, was a candidate for the office
of commissioner against the defend-
ant, T. R. Palmer, republican. The
latter was declared elected, but on a
recanvass of the votes Harris was
placed in office. Palmer instituted
proceedings and secured judgment in
the district court. Harris then ap-
pealed.
Another case brought to the su-
preme court is that of Charles Le
Flore vs. E. B- Sanders, from Atoka
county, where judgment was render
led for the defendant in error.
