LEGISLATURE
H
MAKING GOOD
With practically one-half of the
session of the firth legislature a mat-
ter of history and all of the members
haviog reached that point where
they are becoming fairly well ac-
quainted with each other and hav-
ing formed some definite idea as to
the real work before the body Sun
day was a day of unusual interest j
about the senate chamber the com-1
rnittee rooms and the hotel lobbies
Many of the members spent the
greater portion of the day about
their desks looking over their mall I
1 I si 1 I
and indulging in social discussion j
with each other There has probably
never been a legislative body In the
history of the state in which so large
a per cent of the members were tak-
ing such a keen personal interest in
all of the matters of Importance be-
fore them and a careful observance
of their work during the four weeks j
that have Just closed compels the
candid admission that in many of
the districts the voters have selected
their representatives with marked
wisdom and In but few If any dis-
tricts has a serious error been made

ture has closed its history will stand
as one of the best -

basic value of 64 0 acres Is placed at
10oon and In event the land owner
is possessed of any number of acres
the assessed value of which Is not to
exceed this amount he Is still to be
exempt from the special tax The
tax provided for starts with one mill
on the dollar valuation on holdings
of 64 0 acres or less above the exem-
pted amount and front this basis
gradually increases up to twenty mill
on holdings of 32UO acres or more
Another measure that seems to be
in high favor among the lawmakers
and which Iibb already passed the
senate and Is now being very favor-
ably considered In the house Is the
Home Ownership bill j
This Is an art In the nature of ru-:
ral credit and Is the first step In
that direction ever taken by any of 1
the state legislatures of the union I
It takes for Its basis the funds deriv-
ed from the state school lands and
the new college land funds and pro-
vides that these funds shall be loan-
ed In sums of not to exceed $200
to any one individual or family No
loan is to be made except for the pur-
pose of buying a home Improving a
home or for paying off an Indebted-
ness against a home and even then
It is to be confined to borowers who
are actual residents of the land of-
fered as security for the money bor-
rowed The rate of Interest is to be six
per cent and the time of the loan Is
to be twenty-three and one-half
years Provision Is also made for
the payment of a certain sum each
six months for the purpose of creat-
ing a Blnking fund out of which the
loan Is to be automatically retired
at the date of Its expiration or matur-
it v
For the purpose of supplying addi-
tional funds out of which these home
building loans may be made provi-
sion is made for the issue and sale
of a series of Oklahoma Home Ow-
nership Bonds to bear Interest at 5
per cent payable semi-annually The
bonds are to be secured by the notes
and mortgages taken for the loans
made out of the original or basic
fund and the safeguard Is provided
that at no time shall the amount of
bonds outstanding exceed ninety per
cent of the unpaid face value of the
principal of said notes
A third measure that has met
with Bufflclent favor to pass it
through both houses of the legisla-
ture Is the ‘new assessor bill This
act gives to each county the option
of placing the new law in effect If it
is thought desirable by the county
In substance It is the Arkansas law
of assessment and provides for the
