THE TEXAS EXAMPLE
PETROLEUM producers contend that
the tax on oil production is higher
: In Texas than in any other state in
the Mid-Continent field Despite that
: claim of the oil interests Texas con-
: tinues to be the foremost oil producing
: state in the nation Nor does that pres-
ent tax level of which producers com
plain prevent the Texas Legislature
from proceeding with plans for a furth-
er increase in the tax on mineral pro
duction
- Oklahoma legislators should learn
- something from the example of Texas
: Already legislators of western Okla-
: llama are planning action that will
place a fairer share of the tax burden
: on the petroleum industry Those lead
ers in the movement will rally further
: support as the partiality to the oil mag-
: nates becomes more generally known
' The fact that Texas now takes the
- largest toll of any of the states should
: silence the old plea that Oklahoma's
: oil industry would be hampered by a
further increase in taxes Moreover the
: state should realize that it must get
: this tax from oil at the time of pro-
- duction or never get it
It is reasonable to expect a powerful
:oil lobby will be working against a tax
:Increase when the Legislature meets
again The army of taxpayers will be
unable to maintain such a lobby but
' the people still have power if they will
use it This state would not have to
: endure the nuisance and injustice of a
: sales tax if it would make proper use
' of other sources ' of revenue among
Which oil and gas loom as the largest
- Possibly Bill Murray would have done
:better to join the national movement
: for popularizing the onion instead of
:attacking the Democratic party which
was his other p r in c ip al source of
strength
INITIATIVE STILL RIGHT
CHARGES that the right of initiative
: petition has been abused are made
by opponents of that constitutional right
: Formidable among those opponents are
: Associated Industries and the state
Chamber of Commerce Opposition of
: such groups to the old age pension
: measures that the people have approved
may give some indication of what they
regard as an abuse of constitutional
: authority
: In a series of articles in The News
Dick Pearce has shown how the right
of petition has been abridged by rul-
Jngs of the secretary of state who must
: pass on the validity of petitions and
by court decisions that have annulled
measures approved by the people on
some technicality or other There is no
abuse of the initiative power that is
to be compared with such high-handed
thwarting of the will of the people
There are reasons why privileged
groups and selfish interests might wish
abolish the right of initiative peti-
tion completely Experience has taught
them that the influence of a powerful
lobby is greater with the elected rep-
resentatives of the people than it is
with the people themselves If the peo-
ple are blocked from their constitution-
al right to inititiate legislation and re-
fer unpopular measures enacted by the
Legislature special privilege will find
: It much easier to dominate government
7 It is possible that bad legislation has
been enacted by the people Certainly
:some of the measures already approved
ware faulty enough Yet the whole proc
ess is according to the democratic tra-
dition and an obvious safeguard of ma-
:Jority rule Not all states have it to be
sure but its embodiment in the Okla-
:homa constitution was properly regard-
ed as a long forward stride and they
- are blind who cannot see It is a bul-
:wark of free government
: As such it should be strengthened
band safeguarded It should be simpli
fled and made more easily applicable
:It should be an Issue in the approach-
- Ing session of the Legislature Its pres-
- ent peril should Arouse the public to
: this threat against their authority If
- this is to be a government by the peo-
pie in fact as well as theory the right
' of petition must be upheld against the
:fasdist tendencies of our times

' THE DEATH OF LIFE
puns were permissable one might
remark sen ten t iously that Time
bears away all things even Life For it
has just been announced that the mag-
azine Life has been purchased by Time
Inc and will be changed into some-
thing more serious
Life's passing leaves more than a
twinge of sentimental regret Through
53 years of America's adolescence Life
had won a place as secure in the hearts
of its countrymen as Punch in the Brit-
ish heart Sometimes it thrust with the
barbed lance of satire at other times
it slapped with gusty humor and al-
ways its mirth was tonic and clean It
helped keep tie sane and laughing at
ourselves It provided a medium for
such humorists as Will Rogers John
Kendrick Bangs Oliver Hereford Doro-
thy Parker Robert Benchley Heywood
Broun It enriched our art with the
drawings of Charles Dana Gibson Max-
field Parrish Norman Rockwell and a
host of others
But tastes in humor as in dress
change with the years Whether it was
the World War that altered our style
of humor—bringing a more lean so-
phisticated caustic and naughty brand
—we do not know We know that Life
seemed to let up on our risables In its
usual dignity when it didn't get a
laugh it bowed itself off the stage
"We canont claim like Mr Tunney
that we resigned our championship un-
defeated in our prime" said Clair Max-
well Life president in announcing the
sale "but at least we hope to retire
gracefully from a world still friendly"
The people now have 10 days in which
to register so they may wait 10 days
longer to register disapproval with can-
didates toward whom they feel that way
SPECTACULAR MAYOR
0 NE of the oddest political careers of
the 1930's seems to have ended—for
the time being at any rate—by the
resignation of William N McNair as
mayor of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh surprised HAM in the first
place by electing McNair at all He had
been a perennial candidate for divers
offices and people had begun tc class
him as a permanent also-ran His elec-
tion to the mayoralty was one of the
most sensational features of the great
political overturn which followed the
depression
Once in office the mayor cut a spec-
tacular figure Whether he was mov-
ing his official desk out into the corri-
dor of city hall getting himself arrest-
ed or begging that his own salary be
slashed he was forever making head- -
lines
With this genius for publicity how-
ever he did not seem able to combine
an equal genius for good government
now at last he resigns to rescue the
city from an unendurable 'financial
mixup
It is a queer unaccountable political
career which he has brought to at leist
a temporary end '
Convening fortune tellers predict
that Roosevelt will win if Landon
does not receive too much support
They must have been studying the
straw vote polls
RURAL UTOPIA
A NNOUNCEMENT that pneumatic-
" tired tractors equipped with radios
are now available for farmers is just
more evidence of the trend toward mak-
ing the lot of Our rural citizens a hap-
pier one
Crop Insurance programs that may
insure the farmer a secure livelihood
are being considered Chemists predict
that factories will offer a profitable
market ler much farm produce in the
future '
Rural electrification is making rapid
strides and it may not be long before
electrical "hired men" will be milking
cows currying horses prodding hens
to greater egg production and so on
throughout most of rural America
It seems entirely probable that in
the not very distant future the old
problem "How are you going to keep
'em down on the farm?" may become
one of "keeping 'em in the city"
We wish the taxicab drivers well in
their plans for a union here particularly
if they will include some courteous driv-
ing training in their apprenticeships

Languid Landon lazy loafer
Longs to live on Capitol Hill
Longs to drift to heights immortal
But we're doubting that he will

Just how 'far Washington went in

After all there were a good many

so which was by no means chlval-
ry as it was quite evident that my
best chance was to appeal to that

WON'T swear she was a Swede
She may have been a Finn but
at any rate she was kin of Brun-
hilde the mightiest warrior ofthem
all The goddess being done with
her work tossed me over to a male
Scandinavian He wasn't quite as
big as the lady but you could see
that he meant business and that
he was in excellent condition He
stripped ' the last remaining garment-
from my body and threw me
‘ into a vat which appeared to be
filled with boiling Wurzburger At
any rate it was some heavy glu-
tinous and effervescent substance
It was well up to my neck and as
I gurgled feebly the terrible Swede
leaned over the edge of the tank
and said "Is it too hot for you?"
Now that could be answered in
many kinds of spirit One could an-
swer as a self-indulgent fop intent
on his own comfort or one could
answer as though he were Babe
Ruth preparing for another 'base-
'ball campaign or one might answer
In the spirit of a ragged Continen-
tal following that gieat leader who
first discoveredthe spring that was
my choice If it was good enough
for Washington it was good enough
for me I looked the terrible Swede
straight in the eye and said calm-
' ly "Why it isn't hot at all"
"Oh ho" he said and reached
for some spigot which plumbed
deepest into the molten center of
the earth Things reeled before my
eyes all the bad deeds I'd ever done
flopped before me In a mirage I
seemed to be punching a thin man
in a straw hat who was asking me
"Is it hot enough for you?" Wheth--
er I made some surrender after
consciousness had left I don't know
It may be that the terrible Swede
eventually took pity op me because
when I came to I was no longer
in the tub but on a stone slab
where - soothing salt was being
rubbed into my wounds After that
there was olive oil and camphor
and I think a little nutmeg I don't
know what my plans are from now
on
Tomorrow a number of the lead-
ing utility magnates in the coun-
try are having a convention here
and I would love to see Mr Wilkie
or one of the others under the puri-
fying pressure of sulphur but I
may have to return to New York
In order to recuperate from my

ing down the street at the clock to
see if It was time to eat yet It
wasn't alwayi the same heavy-
weight but It was always some
heavyweight Some times it would
be an old gnarly heavyweight with
a dried apple ear and a husky voice
from getting punched in the neck
Sometimes it would be a young pink
one with the dumb polite expression
that young heavyweights have
Mrs Runyon had pretty heavy -
hauling to get Mr Runyon moved
out of the Forrest Hotel but she
finally got him into an apartment
somewhere way up in the suburbs
—up around 59th-st I heard al-
though Damon seemed ashamed of
this and wouldn't ever tell guys
where he lived
"Up yonder way" he would say
"Up the street a piece"
-
Mrs Runyon said she had to get
him out of here to get him loose
from those heavyweights of his
"We always had a heavyweight
around" she said "and the way
those heavies eat you'd never knew
- until you start to lift the tab for a
little snack Break your back Up
the country where we live now up
around 59th-et they don't pester us
any more"
O F course Mr Runyon often wrote
very tender prose about senti-
mental subjects but mostly he wrote
down in the bass notes on his type-
writer about heavies and hoodlums
and guys that got snatched and
joints that got sneezed and nobody

in overalls and sunbonnet and down
on his knees with a trowel setting
out petunias in his lovely little gar-

In the open and do a piece about It
Mr Runyoq was a very hard-talk

ing about hunting once I said I
would never shoot a deer — too
pretty
"Nah" Mr Runyon 'said PMe

WHY do women appear so unhappy these days?"
asks a department store salesgirl "I've watched
them as they shop and most of them seem to carry
around a grudge against the world Sometimes they
are downright bad-tempered"
Here is a young lady of perspicacity with an ob-
serving eye It may be that the women of our time
are no more unhappy than those of former genera-
tions but it is not to be denied they are not so happy
as they should be With all their advantages rights
freedoms and labor-saving gadgets and luxuries the
feminine neurotic exists in greater numbers than ever
before I
The plain truth is this: We have so much nowa-
days we are unable to absorb appreciate or even
enjoy the half of it Our way of living creates ma-
terial ease and provides us with a thousand cultural
enjoyments but at the same time it also fills us with
a baffling sense of emptiness Surfeited we are al-
ways wanting more We suffer from mental tape-
worms Perhaps the chief cause of our misery is the haste
In which we exist We hurry so we miss many of

Letters From
Build Farm Lakes
With Convict Labor ::'
Editor of The News:
With all the facilities at hand to
remedy the situation it is a shame
that Oklahoma continues to suffer
from droutha as it has this summer
and in past years and as it will
I until steps are taken to remedy
conditions
As one who has for 20 years ad-
vocated the building of lakes and
ponds-in Oklahoma I am gratified
to note that it has been decided
to devote some of the WPA labor
to this task This is the best pos-
sible thing that could be done with
WPA labor It means permanency
that will benefit all the people I
hope they continue to use their la-
bor forthis purpose just as long as
WPA lasts
However it is my opinion that the
state should make the building of
farm ponds lakes and community
lakes a permanent part Of our gov-
ernment until every available place
In the state boasts a lake or pond
and that this program of the state
should be carried on through the
use of convict labor
We have' in our penal institutions
hundreds of men who would be bet-
ter off if they were out in camps
doing this work It is my opinion
that thousands Dt landowners and
farmers would be willing to pay the
cost of this construction by this la-
bor if the state would lend them a
helping hand by doing the work
and letting them pay for it over a
period of years when they pay their
taxes And I suggest that the com-
ing Legislature could spend its time
in no better cause than to legalize
the use of this labor for both farm
lakes and community lakes
on first thought some might ob
The Oklahoma
led to the use of convict labor
when we have so many unemployed
On second thought however every-
one must realize that this work will
never be done by free labor: that a
very few landowners are financially
able to undertake the building of an
adequate permanentlake or pond
out of his own resources and that
every pond and lake built will be of
benefit to the entire community
Also it is not intended when a pro-
gram of this kind is put on that the
WPA shall halt in its program
Oklahoma would be a great state if
every farm boasted a lake or pond
In addition the School Land De
partment could play an important
part in a program of this kind The
state owns a large number of tracts
of land in all parts of the state
The Legislature should authorize
them to contract for a lake or pond
on every piece of this land It
would make the land more valuable
and be of benefit to the state as a
Also there are thousands of re-
stricted Indian homesteads in Okla-
homa These pay no taxes by rea-
son of the insistence of the Federal
Government at the time of state-
hood I am not criticizing that the
lands of these Indians are exempt1
from taxation but rather urging
that as the Federal Government
placed this burden on the Oklahoma
taxpayers when it should have been
a Federal burden and as the Fed-
eral Government is the guardian of
the Indian it owes it both to the
state and the Indian to improve
what property he has left as a
homestead by building a lake and
pond on each of these This would
not nearly repay the state for lost
taxes by reason of the policy of the
Federal Government but would aid
the whole State and make it more

life they merely flit by us as telegraph poles pass
an engineer on a fast train We are olgy brushed
by them we never actually take them to ourselves
to feel taste examine and possess Keeping up
with the fashions with house furnishings fads poll
tics literature changed business methods and pro-
fessional customs requires more energy than most of
us have The tension of modern life is physically
mentally and above all spiritually exhausting
' A second cause of feminine unrest is the apart-
Inent-house 'habit With seasonal regularity thou-
sands of women move in and out of these beehive-
like cells In many instances the furniture does not
even belong to the occupant and in them one never
achieves a sense of being settled
Yet women are naturally creatures with strong
home instincts subconsciously they desire to put
down permanent roots They want their own things
to cherish a safe refuge in which to rear their chil-
dren or to grow old themselves without fear of being
shifted about until the end of their days We want
to belong somewhere and to someone
There may be a thousand other reasons for our
unhappiness but these are the most potent ones -

possible for the Indian 18 also in
the case of the white man to make
a living on his land and tend to
keep both off relief roll&
In this connection let me suggest
that there should be no quibbling
over easements given for the pur-
pose of building these lakes and
ponds It should not be expected
that the landowner or fanner would
throw open his property for public
use on account of building a lake
Build these lakes of sufficient depth
to furnish the landowner with a
supply of water the year around I
taking into consideration evapora-
tion and then add to the depth of
each to the extent necessary to take
care of the runoff from the water-
shed of 36 or 48 hours In that
way you will have a lake or pond
that will serve the double purpose
of lessening the effects of drouths in
the state and also take care of
floods These are sufficient reasons
for building these lakes and ponds
on private property without insist-
ing that the farmer be harassed by
Whoever desires to enter upon his
property The fact that he is pay-
ing for it would make of it private
property as it should be
Of course in building them proper
steps should be taken to prevent
Silting by the building of terraces
and baffles through which water
entering the lakes or ponds would

'GOD'S FLOWERS'
sit out here alone tonight
Beside this lovely bower
And Wonder how my yard wed
' look— -
If man could make a flower
If he could make a sweet led rose
A-bending low with dew '
The tulips and the daffodils ?
Of every kind and hue
If he could make the daisy grow
And nod its small white head
The lilies and blue columbine
And zinnias scarlet red
wonder how it all would seem
Red hollihocks so tall
And pansies hugging mother earth
Clematis on the wall
No man that lived could ever make
A flower grow in the sod 1
For all the flowers we love so well -
Are from the hand of God
