OUR TAXING SYSTEM.
The Oklahoman editorially says:
"From every side comes complaints
relative to tax apportionments, and it
is the same growl that is heard evory
year. It will be so to the end of ^ ^ ^ ^ & frequent
time if the present taxing system » ^ ^ fie<?ing ^ whQ emp.

kitchen and about the room. Starting
to runafter the attack, the negro
turned and fired one shot at his vic-
tim. :he bullet taking effect in her
body.
Attracted by screams of *be child-
ren and the pistol shot, a neighbor
shed to the Campbell home. He car-
ried Mrs. Campbell to her room, then
started to Durant, where news of the
crime spread rapiily. Sheriff A. S.
Hamilton was at Sulphur, but a po3se
of deputy sheriffs was organized with
Chief Deputy L. D. Norman at their
head.
At midnight t:e pursuers came in
sight cf their quarry. He was com-
manded to halt and responded with
several shots from the heavy revolver
with which he was armed. A running
fight started with but one goal—death

Maagum's delegation of business
men who went to Oklahoma City the
fore part of the week to protest
against the late raise by the state
board of equalization, have returned
in part, at least, without having ac-
complished anything directly of the
purpose saugbt.
This delegation consisted of a num-
ber of our leading business men, and
the direct purpdse |f their trip was to
enquire into the method of figuring
and reasoning 'adopted by the state
board of equalization by which they
arrived at the mathematical conclu-
sion that every merchant In Greer
county, little and big. old and young
male and female, had just exactly
twice as many dollars worth of mer-
chandise on hand on the first day of
March, 1911. that the assessor's rec-
ords credited him, her, he she or it
with having. This method or process
adopted by the state board can be
readily classed as one of the scien-
tific matnmetical freaks of the age;
ior if cne man or a dozen men can sit
in an office at the state capita! and
figure out that every member of a cer-
tain class in a given territory has each
lacked the same identical ratio, of
guessing a: the truth of a certain
known fact: their skill in reasoning
and figuring is above par and some of
our mercahnts want to know how it is
done.
For instance if Bill Jones returned
to the assessor lorty thousand dollars
of merchandise and Mariah Smith, the
proprietress of a candy store, only
%H9.50 worth of goods, this enlight-
ened board says that Jones missed his
guess 100 per cent and Mrs. Smith did
exactly the same, for they find that
Jones has $80,000 worth of goods on
hand subject to tax and lady Smith
had |299.<»0 or taxable wealth — a
course of reasoning and scientific fig-
uring amazing in the extreme.
Certainly with the piain law before
us which requires that all property
must be rendered at a fair cash value,
no such wholesale, horrizontal, univer-
sal. perpendicular, unreasonable and
unheard of process would stand before
a reasonable tribunal for a moment.
If one of our merchants has given in
his property too low. that is no sogn
that they all have; and if all save one
o fthem have returned only 50 per cent
of tne worth of their respective stocK.
then the man who has given in his
stock at 90 or lfO rer centtof its
cash value will suffer the unreasona-
ble, illegal and untenable burden of
having to pay upon a value equal to
100, 190 or 200 per cent of its actual
cash value of his merchandise.
The ac'tion of the board certainly
can not stand.

For some lime Mr. Wray has b?eti
traveling in the interest of the buai

visited Mangum before. In this way
he became acquainted with the busi-

have been the cause of his locating

half of the big building formerly occu-

is known to seme of our business men
to be a live, wide awake business
