FOR SPECIiL SESSION
•'INTO AT REVENUE NOT BY DI-
RECT TAXATION.
•aya Legislation Can Bo Enacted to
Increase Revenue Without
Opgrsaalon to the
Nq* Sources.
Gutbrie.—Governor HasEdtl Issued
hls proclamation convening the leg-
tslsture in special session at Guthrie,
Wednesday, January 20. The procla-
mation deals solely with the taxation
matter, but the governor states In
Ms proclamation that tie will submit
ether questions to the special session.
He has power to do this under the
New York dcislons. t
The first matter mentioned In the
proclamation Is the necessity for an
officers' fee or salary bill that will
remedy the uncertainty now prevail-
ing, as well as eliminating any exor-
bitant fee allowances. Such meas-
ures were Introduced in abundance
In the first two state legislatures, but
the opposition succeeded both times
In having the measure embalmed, la
the rectal session the opponents will
he compelled to go squarely on record
for or against the bills, Instead of
lotting them bo choked to death In
th# committee rooms, and It is
thought that the sentiment Is no
strong for such legislation that It will
be enacted.
Further limitations on eounty and
district tax levies aro also recom-
mended In the proclamation as well
ns more limitations on bonded indeM-
odnsss. The governor hints at aa la-
portent proposition to be submitted
to the legislature in his massage,
when he says:
**I believe that additional legtela-
tlon can be enacted that will Increase
the revenues of the stats from other
sources than direct taxation and with-
out oppression or Injustice to the
sources from which these added reve-
nues may be obtained, so that no levy
for state purposes will hereafter bo
required, and to this end specific rec-
ommendations will hereafter be

Map Join Organisation.
Guthrie—The Southern Commercial
congress has asksd the Guthrie Re-
tailers association become a member
of that organisation. This, It Is
claimed, will be the means of much
greater advertising facilities. The
ooaamerdal congress Is represented In
every state in the union. Commercial
clubs will be admitted to the organ
fcatlon on paying an entrance fee of
one-tenth of a cent for every dtlsen
In the community, in which the asso-
ciation Is located, providing that It Is
not more than $60 and lees than $25.
Clarh Gaya He'll Gtlek.
Norman.—A conference of the di-
rectors of the Oklahoma Sanitarium
company probably will be held here
within a short time to discuss the
charges mads agnlast Dr. dark, the
sanitarium superintendent, and other
employes of the company by Miss
Kata Barnard, stats commissioner of
charities and corrections, In hor re-
port to the governor.
"1 have always tried to do my duty
and what I thought was right," said
Dr. Clark. "Further than this I have
nothing to say. After a conference
with the directors of the company I
may make a statement. I am employ-
ed by the company, not by the state,
and I doubt if the state commissioner
ef charities has the authority \ to re-
move me. I will not resign; that Is
certain."
Printing Claim denied.
Guthrie.—The controversy between
State Auditor M. B. Trapp and tbs
Leader Printing company of this city
over the approval of a claim of the
latter for Minting the report of the
corporation commission, has been set-
tled out of court. It was agreed that
Auditor Trapp should approve the
claim as be first audited It by cutting
It to $6,196.90, a reduction from the
original claim of $990.
Biblical grounds for Diverse.
Guthrie.—Becoming alarmed at the
prevalence of the divorce evU la Ok-
lahoma, the ministerial alliance of
Guthrie has started an educational
campaign against promiscuous di-
vorce with a view of submitting to tbs
people an initiative bill authorising le-
gal separation only upon Biblical
grounds.
The matter was brought to the at-
tention of the alliance by a recent ad-
dress of B. D. Cameron, state superin-
tendent of public Instruction, who also
Is pastor of tbs First Baptist church
of this city. At the Oklahoma teach-
era' convention he discussed the prev-
alence of divorce and its causes and
probable remedies.
Pair Premiums Unpaid.
Bold.—The Bald Fair association
directors hold a meeting to discuss
ways and means for paying about
$6,000 In premiums outstanding. The
association has $16,000 of unpaid
bills and $17,800 subscribed In stock
that Is unpaid. It was agreed that
more stock subscriptions should be
secured and collected.
It Is planned, If the general senti-
ment Is favorsble, to select a com-
mittee ta have the bill prepared and
to place petitions In the hands of ev-
cry minister In the state
Plods Work for $,444.
Guthrie.—That the state free em-
ployment burssu In Oklahoma has
proven a great boon to the laborer
Is demonstrated by figures prepared
by Labor Commissioner Charles L.
Daugherty. Showing that during the
last six months of tee year 1909, em-
ployment was obtained for 6,444 ap-
plicants without one cent of expense
to them. Altogether 9,79$ applica-
tions were received. The percentage
would have bean much larger but for
the slump In the building trades and
paving work during the month of De-
cember, caused by the unusually cold
weather. At the Oklahoma City offeie,
3,952 applications were received In Du-
cember and 347 applications were
placed. Prior to November 16, work
was given to 80 per oent of the appll-
cants.
Bine Ore Pound.
Muskogee.—On the Goddard farm
Just wsst of BtlllweU has been uncov-
ered what appears to be one of toe
best veins of sine ore In eastern Ok-
lahoma. The ore was found at thir-
teen feet and la what Is known as a
surface cropping. It Is Just across
the state line from the big sine fields
of northwestern Arkansas, and la be-
haved to be a continuation of that
field.
HER POINT OF VIEW.
Officers Undsr Arrest.
Pawhuska.—J. R. Evans, city mar-
shal of Pawhuska, has haen suspended
by the mayor, it being charged that
he was found gambling in a public
gambling bouse. The charge was mads
by Robert Fenton and William Bran
non, state enforcement officers. Bvans
nays he was playing pitch and has em-
ployed an officer to fight hls dismis-
sal. Henry Majors, a special officer,
has also been dismissed. He was
found la a questionable gambling
house with both shoos off and ex-
plained that his fast were oeld and
that he was merely wanning these.
_/
Bapulpa.—Bight of the thirty-five
priioaecs in the Creek county Jail
have signed a protect to Miss Kate
Barnard, commissioner of charities
and oorrsetleas for the state, eom-
plaining of the Hood furnished, both
ae to the monotony of the faro, and as
to the amount, saying that the eounty,
through Its Jailer, does not furnish
enough In the two meals, all that are

Coslgate.—George amlth was killed
near hls home near No. 9, by Bd. Ry-
an. A dispute arose between tbe
two men about some horses of Ry-
an’s that had been stolen. Ryan, It
Is said, accused Smith of getting
them. They met In the road and ac-
cording to Ryan's statement, Smith
advanced upon him with a knife,
when hs shot him one time, the ball
entering the eplgnstrium, from the
effects of which femtth died later.
Bmlth'e signed statement before he
died was to the effect that Ryan way-
laid him.

For preaerving the hands as well
an far preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping; and Imparting that vel-
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cutlcura Soap, assist-
ed by Cutlcura Ointment, is believed
to bo superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work la corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to Injure the hands, it Is Invaluable.
Treatment.—Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring In a strong, hot,
ereamy lather of Cutlcura Soap, Dry
and anoint freely with Cutlcura Oint-
ment, nnd In severe cases spread the
Cutlcura Ointment on thin pieces of

THE YEAR IPOb HAG SHOWN AN
I NCR SAGE OP OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
BETTLEMENT.
Recent advices from Canada, our
nsxt door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
Into Western Cansda during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va-
cant lands, 140 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to Afteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even If thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price Would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher Agures there Is a
large Interest on tbe money and labor
Invested. The ninety thousand set-
tlers of last year, followed about sixty
thoussnd of the previous year, and for
several years the number hss been
running Into these Urge figures. There
must be a reason for It It may be
found In the single phrase, "they are
satisfied.” Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news ef this reaching other thou-
sands, causes them to investigate. The
Investigation In thta case Is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States hss risen to a high
value, and it la worth every dollar
asked for It But there Is not room
now for all oa these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever Increasing de-
mand for land. Canada Is the only
country on the continent In a position
to supply It. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an aero, produces
oa a reasonable calcuUtlon, 26 bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $7.60 per
acre, leaving a balance of $12.60 per
acre. The $7.60 carries good wages
for the fanner, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 600,000 square miles, it U read-
ily understood why 90,000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern-
ment Agencies at different points In
the Union are always ready to give In-
formation regarding the free home-
stand lands, ready to advise the set-
tler as to the distil eta which would

Although the survey of the past
year’s anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country Indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For Instance, special appropria-
tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next year's anti-
tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,-
600. In addition to these appropria-
tions over $4,000,000 has been set
aside by the different state legisla-
tures for the campaign against tuber-
culosis this year. Besides these sums,
a large number of the present exist-
ing institutions and associations are
planning enlargements of their work,
and new organisations are being
formed daily.
