I lessees of Comanche county have
1 formed a permanent county organiza-1
| t'on, which was perfected by the'
election of the following ofllcers dur-
ing a session of tne delegates In the
council chamber of tbe city hall yes-
terday afternoon:
T. M. Jeffords of Richards township
president; Colonel R. A Sneed of
Mount Scott, vice president: Overton
Harrisof Lawton township, secretary
George W Graham, president of tbe
First National bank of Walter, treas-
urer.
Tbe association represents nine
bundred lessees of tbe county and
one-tentb of tbe school lands of Okla-
homa.
Tbe lessees argue that the sale of
the school lands, particularly in this
county, will increase the assessed
valuation <+f tbe county and reduce
tbe burden of taxation. There are in
the county "8,000 acres of land in the
Wichita forest reserve, 66,u00 acres
in tbe military reserve, 123,000 of In-
dian allotments, and 505,000 acres of
Indian pasture lands, ail of which are
exempt from taxation; hence tne ap-
parent necessity ot selling tbe school
and indemnity lands of tbe county.
