THE FIRST TASTE.
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.
If parents realised the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug caffeine-- which is
especially harmful to children they
would doubtless beslta'.e before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
"When I was a onild in say motherV
wnM nd first began to nibble things'
at the table mother used to give me
Bins of cofftHt. As my liaronu used
coffee exclusively at mealr I uovw
knew there was anything to drink but
- continual use of coffee so affected
niy parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley tbeu ground it In
-he rotteo-mlll as a substitute for
coffee.
"But It did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Posturu whh evor heart! of.

i BILL 363
mm'mm'
1 doii"t destro to tako up vory much
ot tho time of tho house but I doslro
v reply to somo of tho argument pro-
onted and in tho beginning I wish
to say that thiB doctrlno was announ-
ced in the constitutional convention
and when I appointed tho chairman of
tho (Swnmlltee 1 appointed J. F. King
big hearted conscientious tnodest
unassuming patriotic 3. F. King
chairman; I did it deliberately bo-
Mttte I knew bis vlows.
Tho working out of tax legislation
lb th0 hardest perhaps that tho legls
lator Is called upon to perform. Judgo
King rendered service such as to draw
and couch in a few words all tho pow-
er necessary for tho stato to exercise
every kind and chnractor. In select-
ing the committee In tills house I
selected every member of it deliber-
ately with malice- ot fore thought; I
soteclod tho commlttoo I know would
draft these several tax bills nnd fol-
low closely tho lines laid down by
Judge King in tho constitutional con-
vention. Of all tho bills that i.avo
boon before this house none havo had
such pains taking offorts'as tho bills
two ot which havo been adopted and
the two yet to follow and when they
aro adopted Oklahoma will Imposo
her burdon ot taxation upon thoso

don't know but what no was but what
that Is truo but when ho had con-
cluded and I read such expressions of
extrome legislation dangerous nnd
radical legislation I said to myself
"it he runs and publishes that speech
ho will get licked to a standstill."
I want to eay to you 'that tho peo-
plo ftro committed to the doctrlno
laid down in this bill; not only com-
mitted but it is right. Tho gentlo-
uien who flrat took the floor spoko of
palliating tho oil mon. I want to sny
to you gentlomen that It Is not good
politics to do wrong to palliate any
class or men 1 don't care whothor
thoy bo merchants laborers farmers
school lessees or oil mon. !Do tho
right thing and tho conscientious mnn
will stay with you. I want to say to
you that tho oil man who is a demo-
crat ftnd bollGvos in domocratlo prin-
clp.os will stand by tho democratic
party when thoy adhere to those
prlncloles. Tlio man on the other
hand who Is n .republican v111 stand
equally by republican principles. Tho
man who Is seeking selfishness will
abandon any party that don't carry
special privileges and tho quicker -wo
get rid cf mon who aro searching for
exclusive privileges for excluBlvo
principles tho better It will be for tho
state and for tho democratic party.
The question is not whothor thoy aro
going to bo taxed n short while ago
two excellent gentlemen came Into my
office nnd talked two hours on this
subject with mo. Thoy nro good mon
too one of them W. H. Johnson of
Rmrtlosvllle another an able gentlo
man that lias his millions (and I havo
no prejudice against the wealthy man)
I love tho big hearted patriotic and
public spirited rich man; when they
sat down and began to talk and it
the houso will permit me I will toll
you what I said -I BBid "Mr. Johnson
it is not a question of whether you aro
going to be taxed but HOW MUCH?'
Tl. MUST pay this tax and I
would oppose to tho last effort ovory
ouraensome iax upon moso yuojuu.
When I explained to Mr. Johnson
whom I bOUevo to bo a good man
rich though ho Is he said "That Is
not after all a bad proposition; wo
wero not informod as to what was
purposed to bo done." and then in
this connection I wish to repeat hore
the llopr ot this houso Is striving and
laboring faithfully to represent their
constituency but aomo of tho efforts
that have been made havo had to
them tho greatest subterfuge that I
ever saw lu a legislature. Why whon
C J. Wrightsman of Tulsa an oil
man bad the gall to go out over tho
stute and write such resolutions as he
has and make the declaration on the
train that Murray should be unsoated
if ha InBlBted on this taxv when he
found bo had been whipped to a stand
tili h wanted to retract and called
me up on the phone and assured me
that he was a good frlnd and I said
"Wrightsman I have enough of good
friends like you I have had enough
of thfin." He denied what he had
said and said he would Bv A written
tntemert and the gentleman to
hom be had made the statement
roti- to me that h bad said that and
AUHCK.
Now. I call your attention to this to
j show you that it Is not the indepen
dent man that is behind this proposi-
tion bu t the STANBAIID OIL that
don't want to put that tax upon the
oil they purchase.
I want to call your attention to the
nrgument mM9 by Mr. Vandevnnter.
if that argument Is true as made In
the flnt instance it Is true lu tha seo-
ntii whloh he failed to observe. He
atd "usually we put such tax on pub-
lic corporations but never on private
tM-poraUaps." 1 think I am quoting
him orrootly and In reply I wish to
ran attention to the fast that In this
bill it cavers public service corpora-
Mon or suoh private corporations uuly
ns wi with public property H. bs
ai.d coal
ah said br Dr. Abbott when he de-
lhered thai address ra the floor of
this baflse that there were two
kinds of property: pultc and private.

should fall In tho Bnrno wako and
neglect to protect her proporty.
Two mon started out to dig an oil
wolL One of thorn drilled upon a hill
tho othor In tho valloy. Tho man oh
tho hill struck nothing but water
dirt and rock. This bill would not
tax him upon tho cost of that empty
well the hold Is valuless not oven
worth post hole; yon couldn't oven
convert It into a post hole. Tho man
who digs In tho vallqy strlkos cl' if
ho strlkos ft well that produces ten
barrels of oil si day ho pays on that
ten barrels a day If he ntrlkes a well
that produces a thousand barrels a
day ho pays on that thousand bar-
rels a day. If the valuo ot that oil is
a dollar ft barrel ho will pay cne half
of one per cent upon tho barrel. If
It Is worth forty cents a barrel then
he will pay only ow halt of ono per-
cent on two and ono half barrels. This
bill bases the proposition upon tho
production based upon tho valuation
of that production. Now is it fair to
put a man who has put his money in a
hazardous risk by putting it into n
well and then come out without oil
on tho same basts aa the man who
strikes that oil tho public property
of tho state?
Again I want to reply to a romark
made by Mr. Tlllotson whon ho said
ho could buy land at ono hundred dol-
lars an aero that had oil under It
ho can if ho will sell tho right to the
oil and It looks to tho surface onlv
that tho ad valorem tax can go; only
to the valuo of tho land and not tho
mlncfal. Wo must romombor In that
particular too that tho most of these
lands bolong to tho Indian that tho
lands that bolong to tho Indian nro
not taxed; that proporty Is public
proporty. Under these lands Is oil
and oil ns every cno knows is found
in pockets and thoy run from five to
fitted years then It Is goac If you
aro NOT going to tax that public
property now whon aro you going to?
After it Is gono? Is it not bettor to
tax it ono half of no per cent as it
cornea from tho eftrth7
I once lived In an oil district It
was part ot my business at tho In-
stance of tho oil men running a col-
umn in the nowspapor for thorn that
gavo the oil news. I renumber very
'well in tho Corsicana oil Holds. I
lived thero vjhon thoy flrat struck oil.
1 remained thero a number of years
and .vent through that porlod. Somo
of thoso wells turnod out flvo barrels
a day and somo one hundred and
fifty scarcely any ot them moro than
a hundred and fifty. To-day tho oil
Holds aro practically exhausted and
gono in Corsicana. During that time
tho oil was struck in tho poorer dis-
tricts -where tho negroes and poor peo-
ple lived. I Tomembor a Dutchman
by tho namo of Barth that leased his
lots and hai an oil wolt put on 1L His
wells woro hundred bnrrol-a-aday
wolls; that follow diew in royalties
at ten per cont ho drew twonty-four
hundred dollars a month ns long as
thoy lasted and thon you would hoar
him talk about "what ft fool I was for
not digging them myself" when ho
couldn't dig a post hole. I say to you
It Is far better to tax that property
rs it comos from the woll for the rea-
son that If tho man dooBn't make It
ho Isn't taxed at all and in this con-
nection VANDEVBNTEIt: Mr. Speaker will
tbo gontlemnn yield to a quostlonY
(No I will wet yield) Poifct of order
Mr. Spenkor: (Btate your point of or-
dor Mr. Vandoventor: ) tho point Is
this: you say it Jt besft to tax tho
production ns It comes from tho woll
in ordor that it would fall oqually?
It you would stop there I would agreo
with you; now you purposo In addi-
tion to that to levy an ad valorom tax
on tho dorrl ka tho piping tho outfits.
MUItHAY'i Certainly I would tax
that dorrlck. That s about all ho haB
ad valorem. No I don't yield any
moro. I hav seen ran oil wells and
I want tweay In this connebtlon thnt
if jour oil "'woll don't produce you
don't pay anything. If It does pro-
duce you ' pay In proportion to tho
output and for all the output and
with roferonco to no othor stato
ever having this why the stato of Tox-
as lovled one cent on tho output of
oil when It was only worth eighteen
cents a barrel and every speaker
states that Texas oil is worth moro
than a dollar a barrel to-day. and to-
day thero is only half the production
of oil in Texas.
If they put that tax on oil Snd It
caused it to rise would it not be well
to place it in Oklahoma? It might
havo tbo same effect hoTe Ono half
a cent on two nnd a halt barrels of
oil. I repeat 1b that a burden? God
knows (that's a burden) ono half a
cont on two and a half barrels. Ono
of the gentlemon talking on this pro-
position came hero and said "Why
sir a short whllo ago I mortgagod my
home to go Into tho oil business what
do you think of that?" 1 said "I
think St Is a bad buslnoss proposition
and has nothing to do -with the doc-
trine of taxation."
I have in my library a book I got at
tho Instance of Jno. H. Reigan that
he got from the Prussian goverr
menL said to bo tho best document on
the production of minerals ever pro-
duced In the world. That book says
that for every dollars worth of gold
and silver that cmnes out of tho earth
It cost us moro than Ave dollars ex-
pended in tho search of every dollar
gotten out and bo thor0 Is your haz-
ardous proposition- The gentloroan
over thore quotes on oil that tt cost
two te one the facte are a man who
strikes on oil well Is rich indeed bo-
csuse ivhile h sits there every day
that oil flows out and continues to
flow out a continual stream of Income
gotag tnto the pockets of that man
id the well might produce twenty
thousand barrels a day or do as the
o4J did In the Spindle Top Don't
Imagine for a moment that It will les-
son th preductkn of oil in this state.
They are new using that argument
