Few persons in Oklahoma kiisi
i ed that the general revenue bill
passed by the last legislature was not
j law. The discovery lately that thi.-
Dili had been vetoed by Governor
Haskell ease as a tre.:.. rt f-
prise. Contrary to his custom. Gov-
! orLor Haskell failed to write a speech
J giving his veto reasous.
Governor Haskell certainly founa
nothing of which to boasi in the sit-
union resulting from his veto of the
general revenue bill In this in-
stance silence was golden—for the
Standard Oil company.
In territorial days the revenue
laws, (till In force in Oklahoma,
made no provision for returning oil
pipe lines, gas pipe lines oil leases
and other property of this kind for ad
valorem taxation as there was prac-
tically no property of this kind in osi
Oklahoma.
Statehood brought the vast oil an.l
gas industries of Indian Territory
The last legislature in passing a nev.
general revenue bill took special carr-
to readh the oil and gas proper, n s
for ad valorem taxation, t; •
Haskell had much to say about t(-.
"noble conduct" of the Standard O .
company when its child, the Prair <
Oil and Gas company, gave in mil-
lions of dollars' worth of proper y
for taxation.
Governor Haskell's veto i,- said 10
have lost the state $40,000 in taxi
from the Standard Oil company, and
a total of $300,000 in taxes on nil
classes of property not enumerated
in the old Oklahoma law This mon-
ey would lighten taxation that must
now be borne by the farmers and
other citiiens of the state. Tne
Standard escapes its ad valorem
taxes.

What It Is Costing to Run the State
School Land Department
The state school land department
has put the lid upon information that
would give the public the number of
employees who are being paid out of
the school fund. Recently when 102
special school land appraisers were
appointed. Secretary Marr of the
school land board flatly refused to
give even to the democratic pr, -,s
representatives the names of the ap-
pointees or the number appointed.
This kind of information is legit-
imate news and the people are enti-
tled to It.
However a careful investigation
into the affairs of the school land de-
partment has developed some facts
which the present administration will
not dare to dispute. One of the mo^t
significant of these is that there ar,
at present 143 employees of the school
land department, all being paid out
of the school fund.
Summing up the totals a fair idea
may be obtained of what the school
land department is costing the school
children of the state under the plun-
dering methods adopted by the demo-
cratic state administration:
Heads of departments annu.
ally $ 13,900
Special appraisement 61,200
Regular annual appraisement 14,400
Office force, per annum 39.000
Printing, stationery and other
expenses 10,000
Total annual expense of the
school land department ..$139,100
This expense exceeds by over $100,-
: 000 a year the cost of administering
j the school land department under the
territorial form of government when
the acreage of school land was prac-
tically the same as at present.

Ohio Lawyer that Sued Governor
Haskell Makes Statement
Judge J. P. Bailey, of Ottawa. Ohio,
who with Dan M. Bailey is suing
Charles N. Haskell, formerly of O a-
wa, but now Governor of Oklahoma,
for 19,900 attorney fees which they
claim due them several years fr 31
Haskell for attending to various cor-
poration suits for him, was greatly
surprised to 1 :11 that in his answer
to the Halley Haskell claims to
have paid thi in full.
On the cor 1 y Judge Bailey de-
clares that 1 aly payment he has
ever received from Haskell, during
hU several years as attorney for
th." promoter, was a check for $1,000
In a case against on* Broadhead. "Af-
ter receiving this cnecR for 11.000,"
savs Judge Bailey, "I invested It at
H skell's solicitation in a telephone
company he was promotina down n
T. xas. After putting the check Into
tha business, the company went Into
tho hands of a receiver, and under the
la v I am liable for double the amount
of my stock. In addition to i!.e $1.0(i0
check, therefore. I shall have to put
in an additional $1,000 to satisfy the
company's creditors."
