Expects Support for Arch.
Suppoit of the American Legion for
the proposed memorial arch In honor
ol Okhihotim soldiers and Bailors who
died during the war with Germany is
oxpected in return for the governor's
support of the logion's hospital
scheme Governor Robertson said in
conversation. The governor Ib chair-
man of the memorial commission
which committed itself in favor ol an
:iich to coat approximately $500000
to be built on Lincoln boulevard at
nbout Sixteenth street. Many Legion
members opposed the arch proposal
stiongly when it was adopted by the
commission last spring.
"I shall commend the inomoiial
aich plan to the legislature and 1 ex-
pect it will make an appropriation to
help finance its erection" said Gover-
nor Robertson. "My support of tlio
legion's plan to build a hospital for
former facivice men does not mean
that the arch 1b to be abandoned
Many legion members have assured
me that they will support the aich pio-
posal." Money to build the arch will bo
raised in pait by gitts of school chil-
dren according to plans of the com-
mission last spring. An appropiiatinn
by the legislature will be necessary to
insure its completion on the scale in-
tended it whs said. The last legisla-
ture authorized the memorial commis-
sion to make a report concerning a
suitable memorial to men fiom Okla-
homa 'Vho died during the war.

May Aok For Privilege of Taxing Oil
No gross production tax can be col-
lected under existing federal statutes
upon oil produced on restricted Indian
lands. A proposal to momoralizo
congress to amend the statutes to per-
mit Oklahoma to collect such tax upon
oil produced on Indian land leased
to white men will be submitted to the
legislature next month Frank C. Car-
ter state auditor said.
"The greater part of the oil pro-
duced on Indian hind in Oklahoma
goos to white men who have leased
tho oil rights' said Carter. "All such
oil is exempt from gross production
tax. The same man may pay heavy
tax upon oil produced on non-restricted
land and escape taxation entirely
on oil from Indian land which he has
loosed.
"There is no intention on the part
of the state to -make the Indians pay
tax on their lands or on the oil pro-
duced there. But we should be allowed
to collect tax upon that part of the
oil that goes to the white lessees.
State Loses Six Yearo' Fight.
After fighting the case in many
courts for the past six years the state
lost claim to the bod of tho Arkansas
river between Osage and Pawnee
counties by a decision rendered by the
United States circuit cMurt of appeals
at St. Louis.
Under the decision the state lost
claim to $131341.61 held in escrow by
Frank H. McGulro of Guthrio receiver
for the properties appointed by Feder-
al Judge Cotteral.
Under tho theory that the Arkansas
river is a navigable stream and its
bed state property the commissioners
of the land office leased it for oil and
gas purpose to a number of oil com-
panies. On April 9 1914 tho United
States government filed suit ngninst
the leases and the state claiming that
the river bed Is not navigable and that
(the bed is the property of the Osage
Indian nation.
It was announced by tho attorney
general's department that an appeal
will bo taken by tho state to the su-
preme court of the United Slates.

"T REQUIRES not the occasion of
Christmas with its joys cheer and preva
lent good will to arouse in as a sense of
the appreciation due patrons of this paper
In our hearts and minds are gratitude and
good thoughts for you during every day of the
year; but Christmas hallows our sentiments
and makes their expression fitting and timely.
Such as we have accomplished and such
good as may be traceable to our efforts would
not have been possible without your sustaining
power and co-operation. If in any sense we
have upheld a beacon you have supplied oil
for the lamp. If ours has been a chariot
yours has been the motive element which has
kept it on its way.
All characters appealing to or endeavoring
to entertain the public must be given a certain
meed of applause or they cannot exist. With
those engaged in publishing a newspaper the
applause comes in the interest which readers
manifest in Ms columns and in an occasional
word of approval. The practical help of sub-
scribers and advertisers has enabled us to
maintain a publication standard; their encour-
agement has furnished the degree of pleasure
necessary as an incentive to our daily tasks.
May the spirit of Christmas work for you
the full degree of its bounty fulness. May you
be enabled to get the same amount of pleasure
and benefit from these columns that we have
derived from making them.
