straining the aients of the nation from
selling to It. T. Wilson A Co., of New
York, *0,040,00(1 of bonds that had been
previously sold to Ohaddick the court
held that it had no jurisdiction over the
nation. A large number of decisions
delining the lawful rights of the ('hem
kee Nation w«ro cited, and also eonsti
tutional provision granting congr,
power to regulate commerce and make
treaties with foreign nations and In-
dian tribes. Treaties with the (Micro-
kees were then quoted, recognizing
their existence as a uatiou. 1 he < hero-
keessaidthe courts retain their own
political organization as foreign nations
with the exception of power of congress
to allow railroads the right of way u\oi
their lands and certain restrictive laws
of congress. The nation, it was held,
was not amendable to suit l>.v private
parties.

This convention is called as a non-
partimn convention, because a large
number of business men, taxpayers and
citizens believe that the city govern-
ment should be managed independent
of national and territorial politics: that
such management should be clear of
individual clicks or organizations, as
well as political organizations: that the
citizen's interest would lie better
guarded in the letting of contracts,
"ranting of franchises and the manage-
ment of every other important interest,
which dirce ly or indirectly ell'ects the
interests of every citizen of the city if
the government was shorn of all its po
litical features, and the citizens act in
concert with tho single purpose of
building up the city of (Inthrie and
protecting the property interest of its
citizens, liy order of committee,

We ouce again impress upon tho
citizens the great necessity of making a
grand and tlnal effort to have a ticket
upon which are men in every way
worthy of tho important duties that
will have to be performed during the
ensuing term of their several offices.
Let no mail who is a tax payer, or
who expects to engage in business, who
owns property, or who makes a living
here, feel he is exempt from the re-
sponsibility of choosing the citv of-
ficials.
These two years will be of vital im
portance to tho city and to every indi-
vidual who has interests or expects t
live here. These will be the critical
years of the city's existence, and upon
the men who are entrusted with tlu
management of its affairs and its gov
eminent will rest the responsibility ot
either making hero a large and ini
portant city, or allowing the place t
stagnate ami become a mere country
trading point, If the citizens choose
good, honest, capable and energetic
officials, who liaye breadth enough to
look beyond the mere personal benefit
that may be derived Irom their offices,
or who can see something more in hold-
ing an office than for the sake of tho
patronage it gives tin1 incumbent con-
trol of. by which he may benefit him-
self. or his political friends, if. in short,
the citizens will see to it that men are
elected, who will work with their
strength and their ability for the cits .
that entrusts them with its welfare,
we can feel sure that if Guthrie does
not achieve greatness, it will not betbe
fault of the citizens.
Wo are all proud of the great de-
velopment of Guthrie and of Oklahoma,
of which it is the capital, but so far the
foundation is hardly laid. Li the next
two years there will be a development,
jonseqneut upon the introduction and
building of railways, that will dwarf
the growth * 1 have already seen.
Statehood will come in all probability,
new cities will grow up, industries of
various kinds will be established, rail-
roads will bo built, tho map of the en-
tire territory will be changed and
Guthrie will either figure ahead with
a pace in keeping with the rest of the
territory and become a great com-
mercial and political center with agieat
commonwealth tributary to it, or it
will fall by the way and the brilliant
procession will move by. without so
much as noticing that we have dropped
out, exhausted and overcome.
We are writing as we feel. This city
must either go ahead or go back. It
oannot stand being longer fooled with.
Retail stores and politicians alone can
neither build up nor keep it up, it must
have other and greater resources. The
mayor, council and officials must be
like a captain and officers of a ship, on
deck, and oil the clert.
The coming two years will be the
difficult time in our voyage to greatness
and whether we arrive at greatness or
sire wrecked, plundered and sunk, will
depend greatly upon the men who are
chosen to fill the city's olliccs in the en-
sums turn).

To the eilitnr <>l Tiik Nkws:
Dear Sir Knowing that you g^ier-
ally warn the puhlie when you know
they are in danger, I will ask you to
publish the following:
First, the assessors are stressing
(iuthrio nnd are not. conforming to the
Isw. The law re<|iiires them to give to
the taxpayer a list, on which the tax
payers shall list their real and personal
property and place a value on it It the
assessor shall place a larger valuation
on said property than the owner, then
he shall rentier to the owner a duplicate
of his valuation.
Hut the assessors are going around
and assessing the personal property
and getting the property owners to sign
and swear to the same- And it they are
assessing real estate they are doing it
secretly and surreptitiously, and it they
shall iusert the real estate over the sig
natures of persons who have signed and
sworn to a personal property statement,
they will be guilty of perjury.
The placing a double and tribble
valuation on property is a robbery, and
thwse who do it should be dealt with as
robbers. It is done for the purpose of
issuing more bonds, and our property
im already bonded to per cent of its
real value, while the law only allows 4
per cent in bonds to be isnueil on h true
valuation.
There never has been a legal assess
mcnt made in this city, and the valua
tion on which the bonds have been iv
sued is fraudulent.
The purchasers of the bonds had
notice, the statute*- laid down the l t\>
and it was their duty to see that the law
was conformed with, and if they loan
their money no one is to blame but
themselves. Now, if they undertake to
levy a tax on tlii^ assessment the people
should protest. "Dad
