Pursuant to the recent order of
the county commissioners, County
Clerk Kelly has prepared the new tax
rolls, showing a general increase of
taxes in the city and country. Lauds
throughout county were raised 25
per cent, in valuation and El Reno
real estate has been boosted -0 peri
cent, over the original assessment. '
Horses, mules and cattle are, accord-
ing to the commissioners, more val-
uable than the assessors report
would show and these have been 1
raised in value from ten to twenty
per cent. The result is that Can-
adian county has an increased valu-
ation of $1,292,650. The present
total valuation in the county is $1K.-
313,501. This is exclusive of all
corporation values which will soon
be returned by the state.

Kntertuins Group of Oklahoma
City Last Saturday
F. L Hoxie, a traveling
salesman of this city who performed
at the Elks benefit here Saturday
evening mystified a group of spec-
tators at Mayor Scales office at Ok-
lahoma Oity Saturday. The News
says:
While F. L. Hoxie, a traveling man
and a clever sleight of hand perfor-
mer, was making things disappear
in the reception room that adjoins
the mayor's office Saturday morning.
Mayor Scales disappeared. A crowd
was in the mayor's reception room,
in barber shop style, waiting for
'turns" to see the mayor.
Hoxiie took a pool iball from the
pocket of a man who said he didn't
know how it got there, multiplied It
•by four, made all the balls disappear,
took money from the pockets of men
who said they had been broke for
a week, then made the money dis-
appear, took a deck of cards -from the
pocket of a ministerial individual
and did other astounding tricks.
George B. Saunders opened the
door of the mayor's sanctum. He
looked foolish for a second and then
put his hand in lloxie's pocket.
"What are you looking for?" ask-
ed Hoxie.
"For the mayor," said Saunders.
"I haven't got him," said Hoxie.
"1 didn't know," said Saunders.
"He was in there a minute ago. I
don't know what become of him. I
didn't hear him go down the hall."
The crowd In the outer office filed
into the sanctum. The mayor wasn't
there.

Waugh says:
"There are 80 per cent, of the peo-

sentiment in a city will make the
enforcement, of the prohibitory law
ineffective and as long as the senti-
ment remains what it is there is no
hope of permanent improvement 'in
the situation.

PEOPLE'S TH HAT UK
To 0]x*n Dramatic Season With the
I test Organization Traveling
in the South.
Commencing next Sunday, July 4.
Mr. Theodore Lorch and company
will open a week's engagement, pre-
senting the very latest dramatic pro-
ductions, opening with his own play,
"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy."
Following is what the Chicago Trib-
une has to say about Mr. Lorc'h's ap-
pearance at the Great Northern Thea-
tre under dte of Feb. 28th: "Til,
stalwart and handsome. Theodore
Lorch won his way into the hearts
of the Great .Northern yesterday with
his impersonation of the gentleman
cowboy in the new Western play.
'TThe Lieutenant and the Cowboy."
The plav is from the pen of An-
thony Willis and it is to his credit
that he resisted tue temptation to
make a red fire drama that seemed
(parflijculfcill'y suited Sor such jpuiv
poses. Instead he has given us a
real military play and a cowboy hero.
Mr. Willis has toned down the red
fire and inifused more of real life into
the play, a commendable depart-
ure from th established track.
"The army officer, enacted by Law-
rence Deeming, is not a villain
smirched beyond clensing, nor is the
cowboy hero too impossibly good.
Roth roles are well acted. 'Helen
Aubry, as the sweetheart who shields
the man she loves from the results
of a crime of which she knows he
innocent, is very satisfactory. The
western atmosphere is faithfully car-
ried out in the scenery."

WASHINGTON
NEWS LETTER
Washington. D. C.. June 28.—The
question of direct taxation is not
only disturo.ng the United States
Congress at present, -but seems to toe
a burning question with the govern-
ments of every civilized country
France and Germany and England
and Russia, as well as the smaller
continental countries are debating
with ways and means to ra-ise revenue
to meet the expenses of the govern-
ment. The matter of a deficit at the
present time is a most world-wide,
and as the usual means of taxation
has been exhausted, efforts are l e-
ing made toward taxation on incomes

etc.
i of tariff making.
Vere it not for the sp< i.i' ni
and the uncertain') ot what the new
tariff will be there is no doubt wha -
r that business would be l ooming
this summer to an unprecedented de-
e. Ail industries are anxious to
ahead, and yet wait in suspense
news from Washington, and .11 ! «•-
ause a few nv?r., for reasons 1>est
known to themselves, think best to
make long s| eeches, and when all is
aid, the simple proposition remains
that the tariff is simply a local ques-
tion, and that a man Is a protection-
ist and a free trader and a revisionist,
according to what he thinks is for
the best Interests of his own state
and district. But in due course of
time we shall have a new tariff law.
and our people will have been edu-
ated as novel* before upon the vari-
ous points in tariff making and upon
all sides of the controversy, then we
will go ahead as before and ti a few-
months without doubt shall reach
our normal condition of employment
and purchasing power, and then will
follow a decade of peace and pros-
perity.
Cltj market, th
Heretofore in the United States,
except during war time, our methods
taxation have been for the most
part direct ones, and for that reason
not looked upon as burdensome
act, at the present l:nie half of our years to come
receipts are gathered from the In-
ternal revenue, which is wholly a vo-l
untary tax. and while oif course the
man of modern means who smokes
and drinks contributes to it, as well
as do the wealthy, yet it 'is 'by no
means a tax upon the poor man.
Again, the import duties, some of
which are paid by the exporting for-
eigners, fall most largely upon the
people who buy luxuries.
The contention that because of
high prices the people i^iy the Im-
port duties is entirely a fallacious
one— it may be true in instances,
hut for the most part It is false. Up
to the present time th** American
oeople have not been very severely
taxed by the National Government,
ind now that the question has risen
how beat to meet a deficit, it would
ieem that almost any direct tax would
be burdensome, and yet, in this re-
spect we should be much better off
than the people in foreign countries.
What will be tne outcome of the
present agitation, and what will be
the nature of the legislation finally
decided upon at the preseut session
Is useless to predict. It is possible
that some sort of Income tax may be
passed, but hardly probable. It id

son has been aided 'in all his endea-
vors by Republican legislatio . dur-
ing these years, which has enabled
him to carry out his ideas of what
his department should accomplish —
ideas which were foreign to Demo-
cratic ideas, and which never could
harve materialized under a Democrat-
ic administration. It illustrates per-
haps better than any other example
that could have been given between
Democratic and Republican legisla-
tion. It proves Republican legisla-
tion to be progressive—to Che best
interest of all the people and as lib-
eral as is consistent with the public
welfare.
This is also show n in the matter of
the rural free delivery where under
Republican legislation it has been
perfected, a tremendous benefit to
the farmers. Under Democratic leg-
islation it was laughed at. and even
a paltry $10,000 was not used for
experiments because Air. Cleveland
and his Postmaster General thought
it useless, and yet under Kepublican
administration some $40,000,000 is
appropriated annually 'for that i
vice. Jt will, of course, be further
developed under Mr. Taft s adminis-
tration, as will the development of
the other departments of the govern
inent, and it does not seem possible
that the people will want to return
