Leo Meyer from the state auditorp of
Hanaas.. Nebraska. Colorado and Iowa 'i
show that state taxes in Oklahoma are
U'b lever than in any of these
piates. In the fve rears covering the
period of FtateLood in Oklahoma Kan-
sas has ievit-d in ad valorem taxes
u-4 million dollars more than Okla-
homa or mure than a million dollars
morr than this state. If Oklahoma had
levied the same amount of taxes for
the last five years as Kansas tbe
state could pay the million and a half
dollar debt inherited from the terri-
ury and take up every outstanding
war-ant and still have a nice balance
in Tbe treasury. The highest state
levy In Oklahoma was 2 J- mills in
1SW. For the past fve years the low-
est levy n Iowa was Z 5-10 mills in
Cc-krafio four mills and in Nebraska

Party organization is esseLtial ta
bare not yet discovered any other way
tT which to give force and effect to
the will f tie majority. When a pcli-
tical party is entrusted with tbe coti-
trol of the government of tbe state or
of the nation its successful conduct
ing for popular support. In tbe v.a-
tior.-al arena e have three of
eaac.dates snd ti'te pa-uet. The
covntry prer.ty tboroarl iy tnd-rstatJie
'the chaos that cxirts ir tte repub'.i-
can camp. There it no longer an au-
' thcritatie reput-l.can '.gatlzfetyn.
Tie republican pfarty is no Jonger a
national party in tie full stse of tie
term. It no Icteer rep-e-ettf any co!-
'siderable pr;;:r.iot: oi tbe A merican
'l.'ple. it is ti'j i't.ger hfermoni'us
and uai-ed. P. ea'hrf.f-s Fas be-t
demonrtrated in its ii.abity to stan4
together Lt lupport of ai y definite and
w fit rent p-ogram een when in
-cm;-lte fontrol of tbe government.
It is rent -ntain by facttca! cs-
senslonb. It cannot seriously make
any pretense of that unity of purpose
and that strength or organization r.-c-esBary
to make it an efficient instru-
ment f:r tbe administration of nation-
al a" airs.
Tbe third term party i a political
mob rather than a io'itical organiza-
tion. Iv is lacking in every essential
of a party to be entrusted with control
of the government. It represents tbe
'spasm of an end; vidua! rather than a
well-conceived and deliberately work-
ed out purpose and policy. If it fchould
hapoen to elect the next president of
the United States tbe executive branch
of the got eminent would be without
'any organized support in either branch
of congress or without any effective
organization iu the country generally
to serve as the means for the expres-
sion of public opinion
j The demorratk- party is tbe only
j truly national polit ical organization.
It rossesses all of the essential for
successful conduct of the government.
It is vigorous and aggressive in every
state in the 1'njom It is in barmony
with tbe national purpose. It is or-
ganized in practically every precinct
and it represents the tremendous force
of pmblic opinion carefully lead by
the foremost minds of the nation. With
the election of ilson to the presi-
dency there will also tome complete
control of the legislative branch of the
government so that the party will have
the means by which to carry out the
mandidates of the people.
What is true in tbe nation ia equally
true with respect to the state of Okla-
homa The democratic party in tbia
state is not opposed by a single com-
pact organization. Its antagonists
are bands of political guerrillas who
fight among themselves almost as fre-
quently and almost as desperately as
they oppose the democracy. There is
nothing In tbe hybrid combination
now asking control of this state to in-
spire confidence that it has the ca-
pacity to conduct tbe government of
Oklahoma What can w e expect of a
.political machine dominated by Jim
Harris and Bird McGuire?

ELECTRICITY.
A neophyte in the electrical business
recently asked the question: "Who
buys electrical machinery?" The an-
swer has been acvcmulating ever
since. He found out that the' new Chi-
nese Republic is printing up its new-
money one side in Chinece and the
other in English with Crocker-Wheeler
electric motors. He discovered that
2"51T.(6 were Bpeat with one elec-
trical compvaxy alone by oorset man-
ufacturers in a period of six months.
He started through the alphabet and
found arsenals asphalt machinery.
.and automobiles on the list of users
jof electricity. A systematic classifica-
tion revealed the fact that over two
j hundred industries of widely diverse
character all use electrical machinery.
I ' The spread of the use of this in-
visible agent is one of tbe marvels of
modern times. It is the universal ser-
rant. It is used in textile mills and
jthus serves to clothe mam It is used
'in printing offices and thus serves to
'educate him. It is used for lighting"
tand thus enables Lira to read his
books h is used for transportation
i
.and even if. man prefers to walk it
again volunteers its "assistance since
it is used in the manufacture of boots
and shoes. It cocks for him and of-
fers ti madditional dainties since it
drives tbe machinery in candy fac-
tories and bakeries. It cleans his
house by helping in the manufacture
of brooms. It assuages his thirst by
its activities In bottling ''works and
breweries. It enables him to smoke
since it is used in the manufacture of
brier pipes tobacco and cigarettes. It
e: a lies him to fight by the making of
cartridges and gun powder. It heats
him ia winter by its activities in coal
mines. It cools' him in summer by.
manufacturing ice. It enables him to
trade since it is used in coining as
well as for tbe printing of pajn-r
money. It fills his teeth in dental par-
lors. It belps him correspond since
typewriters and ecvelopH-s are manu-
factured by electric driven machinery.
It bedecks him with gems siDce jewel-
ers use it. It washes his clothes as
every up-to-date laundry now ties elec-
tric drive for its machines. It makes
music for him and sews for him and
provides for his cleanliness by the
manufacture of soap. It furnishes his
home by furnishing power for the mak
ing oi fumaure and wall paper. It

Dennis Flynn denounces the double
dealing of those who pretend to be
republicans and yet say they are go-
ing to vote for Roosevelt. He invokes
the commandment "Thou shall - not
steal" against the 4lan by which
Roosevelt candidates for electors un-
der the chaperonage of Jim E arris.
Bird McGuire. and Dick Morgan tie
three bosses of the republican ma-
chine in this state are running as reg-
ular republican nominees. He de-
nounces the boss rule of the republi-
can party in Oklahoma and the plan
by which control of the machine is
transmitted by inheritance and with-
out the voters of the party having ary
opportunity to control its affairs. He
appteals to all republicans to stand ty
the old party and to vote only for re-
publican nominees who are really re
publicans. His test of republicanism
is tbe support of Taft and Sherman.
There are a few genuine republicans
left in Oklahoma and Dennis Flynn
is one of them. '

The senate investigating committee
with a Roosevelt supporter. Senator
Clapp at its head has already dis-
covered sn expenditure of something
like $."(0.(n0 in behalf of Col. Roose-
velt in his primary campaign for the
republican presidential nomination. A
large proportion of this money was
contributer by Finn the notoriously
corrupt boss of Pittsburg by Geo. W.
Perkins of the Steel Trust and the
Harvester Trusts: by Iari Hanaa. a
son of Mark Hanna. and by Frank A.
Mnnsey the publisher of a number of
reactionary newspapers and one of
the most rabid defenders of the system
of extreme protection. Of these ex-
penditures more than SI 00000 was us-
ed in the Pennsylvania primary a" sura
sufficient to conduct democratic 'cam-
paigns in Oklahoma for five years.
The Roosevelt boomers In Oklahoma
received S2.100 which i certainly con-
siderable more than was spent In this
state in behalf of Wilson and Taft
combined. Col. Roosevelt prctemls to
lead a movement springing spontau-
eously from the people but St Is fi-
nanced by a few political bosses and
trust magnates.

The senate committee's Invest isa-
tion of campaign contributions has de-
veloped an accumulation of proof
showing that the third term candidate
for president Is the particular pot of
the steel trust. In lfo Morgan the
organizer of the steel trust contributed
MOp.OOO to his campaisn. Prick and
Perkins were also largo contributors.
It is likely that at least a half million
of steel trust money was used in that
campaign. Flinn. 0f Pittsburg politi-
cal agent of the steol trust contribute
more than a hundred thousand dollars
to the primary campaign of the third
term candidate this year. The third
term campaign is financed br Flinn
Perkins. Hanna and Muusov all of
them large holders of steel stock But
for the use of this steel trust moncv
in the primary campaign the third
term candidate would have made a
very poor showing in the resrular re-
publican convention in Chicago and
the third term party would not cow
he ia existence. The third term move-
ment is principally supported bv snd
tn the interest of the steel trust.
