The Lambert Progress is the name
of the new paper in the city on our

May the Progress progress better
than the lamented News
A measure has been introduced
in the legislature making the pen-
alty quite severe for bank- robbing
If the officers can’t catch ’em it
doesn't really matter much about
the penalty
On the ground that many fires
will be prevented and fire insurance
rates reduced they are going to pass
a strict anti-cigaret law But the
legislature should not forget thet
there are other reasons
Oklahoma ought to have a blue
sky law to protect her investors
from some of the Kansas oil com-
panies Our idea is that if we want
to blow in money on oil develop-
ment we should do it at home
The editor of the Cherokee Repub-
lican who is state senator for this
district has received six committee
appointments one of which is a
chairmanship It isn’t very often
that a minority inember gets a
chairmanship and the fact that Fer-
guson is head of the game and fish
committee shows that his abilities
are recognized
Mrs Ed Marchant of Aline has
leased the Cleo Chieftain from J W
Bishop who was elected county at-

long surmised that when Ed was

Can get on- the Chieftain's exchange

fact
' The Oklahoman and'its twin the
Times are making a desperate fight
to raise the gross production tan on
oil The present rate is three per
cent which brings in enough money
to pay the entire running expenses
of the ' state' The only way in
which a community or a state can
get oil development or capital or
any other of the good things which
requires a combination of capital is
1 to treat the corporation fairly Not
! take any undue advantage of them
nor give them such advantage The
people of this -state have sufficient
voting power to tax the railroads
out of existence or nearly so but
would it be wise or fair? We can
do the same with the oil interests -land
lose development The three
per cent gross production tax brings
in sufficient money to run the state
government and while the people of
the state are powerful enough to
take more from the oil interests yet
in our opinion it would be poor pol-
icy to do so It would not be equit-
able it would not be justice Every
man and every interest should bear
his or its just share of the taxes
Twenty-five farmers near Nash have
organized an oil company Sind will try
and get development
Mr and Mrs St Clair for ten years
in charge of the I O O F Home at
Carmen have retired and are' succeed-
ed by Mr and Mrs Hadley of Hope-

A Nash man went to Enid to be op-
erated on for appendicitis but like
the proverbial joke about going to the

his carving knife he felt better and

Two young men of Capron Okla
one Mayfield and Dunlap held up and
robbed the State Bank of -Corwin
Kans last Friday morning They
secured 9900 but the money was all

Enid IS to have a big oil refinery
The development of the fields on the
east as well as on the west of Enid
means much to that town Tbev have
the best railroad facilities of any town
In this part of the state and this back-
ed by a bunch of live business men
means that even if they haven’t oil
right at their door they are going to
take advantage of the opportunity of-
fered by having it on both aides of
them
C V Cessna the Wichita aviator
who learned to fly 06 the salt plains
has announced that he will attempt a
long distance flight to New York this
spring Bam Shelburne saw Cessna
In Wichita recently and say the avia-

Jet friends and that be was still grate-
ful fur the many favors shown him by
the people here Jet paid Cessna the
first money he ever received for mak-
ing a flight

SOMETHING
at
Jack’s
Good
The Byron Promoter gives us a
neat dressing down because v$e ven-
tured the opinion that Swingle
commissioner of the north district
was a single termer The esteemed
Promotor also says that it fails to
see wherein Swingle's choice to work
with Roberts disqualifies him for
competent service that a few years
ago the Republican papers of the
county heralded Roberts as a loyal
Republican and a capable man and
that his four years official service
has failed to prove anything to the
contrary Well perhaps the Visitor
was wrong maybe the two will'
make a good team we hope so'
During the regime of the old board
Roberts hitched up with the lone
Democratic member and gave all
the printing to a Democratic paper
and the Headlight which was all
right as probably the Promoter and
the Visitor were not capable of do-1 S
ing the work Or perhaps the Pro- E
moter looks at It from the stand-
point that if the Headlight didn’t
get the work the Promoter wouldn't
so why lose sleep over the matterT j
A very sensible view in which we
heartily concur The Visitor man!
has always taken the stand that the i
newspaper should count on making
its living at home then if it can
pick up any printing out of town it
was extra But to whoop it up for
the good fellows on your ticket dur-
ing a campaign and be forgotten by
them afterwwards is a little galling
Probably the best thing is to do like
the Promoter and cut put the
whooping ' Anyway here's hoping
that Swingle and Roberts make
good if it is possible and not pull
any more boneheads than they can
