SATURDAY MAHCil c. 1897.
Psai.m MniniY declares that the
free homes hill la (load and tho rider Is
afoot
Mi KiHi.ttr's llrst rattlo out of the
box is to runko congre&a responsible
lor hit promised prosperity.
An eatiturn exchange bayb: "Tho
signs of ruturnlng prosperity aro boruu
upon every breeze." Still feeding iih
on wind.
Hki'Kkskntativk Hobk's moasurc pro-
viding for a bank examiner seems to
be favored by the business men of tho
territory.
Tim machine Republicans aro now
making an ungodly effort to get action
on a flcv governor. The legislature
should not overlook this patont fact
In tho matter of fees andsalailes
both council and house should maUe
mutual concessions. It la best to base
the salaries on tho vote of each county.
Thk passage of the toxt-book bill
which confiscates all the bchool books
In use means a cost of from 3 to SCO
to every parent Tho bill should be
defeated.
A (ilanck ut thp free silver papors
ot thu territory bhow that tho school
toxt book bill is in disfavor. Not one of
them endorses it It is only tho Re-
publican papers that want a change in
books. They know It will make cam-
paign in-terial two years hence.
LoituBTT and I'ltJ-simtnouB will not
bo compelled to "spar for wind" in
their coming battle They both carry
a. large supply of that noccssary com-
modity; and then too Tom Sharkey
will be at tho ring side puffed up like
u poisoned pup with California ozone.
Tile council and house nhould got
together and harmonize their differ-
ences ou a fco and salary bill. Some
reforms are needed 011 this measure
and the two houses should relax and
"give in" a trllle In order to reach an
amicable understanding.
Its all right to praise Klynn whon
ho does a worthy act but it is not
proper to slop over. Tho house was
right yesterday whon It rofused to paw
fulsome Flynn resolutlonc The legis-
lature 1b not responsible for Klynn's
sins or praiseworthy acl6.
Paiuknt hus commenced. Tho
trubU. monopolies uomblnes and tariff-
bubsldUed manufacturers kept Mark

campaign. Ihey had promises of divi-
dends for these Investments if Mark

win and II anna goes into tho sunute
of tho United State In responso to the
wishes of the prcildent-olooU
Tint is from a gold standard paper
tho (Dallas News If MeKinley really
desires tho prosperity of the country
it would be better to abandon tho pro-
pobed special session of congress
With poor prospects for currency re-
forms it will bo tolly for the admin-
istration to haziard its prestlgo by in-
viting a long fruitless year of tariff
agitation with its attendant train of
uubine-ss stagnation idleness distress
and possibly panic and bond Issues.
Tub following from tho People's
olee contains the truth in a nutshell
' Congress has adjourned without pass-
ug tho free home bill and Plynu's
electioneering bcbotne is apparont
even to Republicans. It thu settlers of
Oklahoma seoure free homes withiu
tho next two years it will bo through
tho efforts ot Congressman Callahan
We cannot say whether he will sue
ceed or not but one thing is certain
the people of Oklahoma may rest as-
sured that they will have In congress
or the next two years a mm that will
make the tree homo question a matter
of business and not of politics."
lllLCTIIAr HllUlti Ul' THE HULK
The people living upon our northern
border have been taking a shrewd and
rascally advantage of the taxpayers of
both Oklahoma and Kansas. The Ok
labooia statutes of 1893 fixed the first
February In each year as tho time for
making the asaesbtaenig ot all the
property In the territory while the
Kansas law fixeb the first of March as
the time for listing and assenment
The d It honest taxpayer of Oklahoma
would drive his cattle Into Kansas lute '
in January and bring them back bei
. I M
10U
fore the first of March while hit
brother roguo in Kansas In order per-
haps to preaervo a general average
would reverse tho order and drive his
stock Into Oklahoma after tho Gmt ot
February and bring them back after
the first of March. In that way they
could catch tho tax collector "acotnln'
andagoin'" and success! illy evade
tho payment ot all taxes In either com-
munity. Ilouo bill 147 Introduced by
Mr Olson effectually shuts up the holo
at both ends by ohanglng tho titno ot
fixing assessments and listing of prop-
erty to the ilrut March in oiob year In-
stead of tho llrst of February. Tho
Importanco of the change Is patent and
It ought to bo made..
TAXKVIf4TIIATHHUUL.il IIKUIIKUKKU
A great Inconvenience has been
sufferod by the oltieena of Oklahoma
owing to tho uncertainty about the
tlu.1 for tho final collection of taxoe.
It has been so easy to postpone the
time of payment by paying tho penal
ties aid "lied to delinquent tax-payers
ths the tntnptatlon to put off final
paymonl as lonr as possible has ro
suited In a great and growing evil to ths
whole community Council bill 07 b
Councilman Learned el"ngee in a very
radical tuaunci the wht system of the
collection of taxes. It provides that
the taxes be collected annually In-
stead of sornl-annualy thereby saving
a large amount of unnecessary clerical
work In tho treasurer's office and mak-
ing it more convenient for the people
to pay. Its most Important Change
however. Is the abolition of all penal-
ties and making all taxes duo and de-
linquent after tho third Monday In
January of each year Immediately
colloctiblo.
It requires the treasurer of each
county between the 10th and 45th of
each March to Issue his warrant
against each and every taxpayer. Tho
sheriff is required to levy tho warrants
and collect tho taxes together with all
exponseof collection within sixty days
after the warrants aro placed in his
hands.
The bill if It btcomen o law will
give an element ot certainty to the
amount of cash in the treasury and
will materially enhance the value and
hasten tho payment of all outstanding
indebtedness of the different counties.
The bill is now up for consideration
In the house of representatives and
Tub Lkadkh trusts that It will be care-
fully cousiderpd and favorably acted
upon by the members of the gonoral
assembly.

In the death of Judge Robort Martin
tho territory loses one ot its mot re
spected and valued citizens ilo was
one of the founders of the territory!
Ills career was deeply marked with
steadfast devotion to duty with lofty
patriotism and exalted character with
oonscluutlotis regard for official obliga-
tions and sturdy strength of purpose
to sorve tho interests of his homo his
friends and his countrymen lie was
a mau whom to know was to like. His
administration of the oiico of secre-
tary of the territory and mayor of tho
city were splendid exhibitions of
strong common sense Indexible lion-
Mty lofty couraire acd rugged dotor-
ninallon. As a uitUen ot tho town
.ludge Martin bore the confidunco of
ill men. Kvon in the heat of exeiting
political campaigns he was usually
icrene and complacent bore no man's
ill will political or personal.
Robert Martin was a good man an
ardent Mason an indulgent father and
1 loving husband. Ho was a man
.vliom the territory could Illulford to
lose. Closely Identified with Okla-
homa's interests it was his ambition
to live to soe the torntory grow Into

O No! Nut Frightened.
Instead of being able to ubsorb the

now so frightened for fear the terri-
tory will absorb part of her territory
that her legislature solemnly resolves
that. "Such attachment as Is proposed

What u 1'ren Silver l'tmurrutlo Taper
Thinks.
The text-book bill soon to reach
the council is the greatest blunder
made by tho house and should arouse
every citizen to opposo its passage by
the council. As n journal devoted to
the welfare of tho whole people wo
are forced to expose tho danger of
the bill and urge tho people not to
bo deceived by the smooth arguments
of tho schomo of robbery bohind tho
bill. From ovory part of Oklahoma
should come remonstrances against
this toxt book bill which instead of
reducing tho price of school bjoks is a
cruel mercenary plot by a. syndicate
having a lot of worthless old copy-
rights and booit material the accumu-
lation of tho early part of this century
to soil that worthloM stuff ut a small
prlco to -the school children of Okla-
homa. What Is this bill" U Is a bill
to change all the school books in Ok-
lahoma. It is a bill that makes it Im-
possible for the 80000 youths of Ok-
lahoma to use any ot the books thoy
now have. It Is a bill to wipe out the
value of all tho school books now in
the homes and schools of Oklahoma to
the value of 9150000 It Is a bill to
compel tho people to buy entirely new
books at a drain upon the poor tax-
payers of 8150000 moro. Oklahoma
