So fur as Vinita is concerned definite
steps are being taken for the reduc-
tion of taxes in Oklahoma. A tax
league organization has been formed
and a delegate elected to attend the
state meeting at '-jioma City
Wednesday. This movement should
command the attention of the entire
state to the end that there will be a
material reduction of taxes. The ques
Ion of excessive taxes is the biggest
question before the people of Okla-
homa today and Is pressing for solu-
tion. It is a non-partisan movement
and has In It all the elements of sue
cess and strength.

than we ever sold in one year of our
history. It will enable our packing

will overshadow any business of the

In addition to the corn which will
be fed we expect to have much to

by millions.

the beginnings of the system were

The only constitutional provision
for choosing a president was by elec-

in the event of their failure by the
house of representatives. There was
no provision in the constitution and
there is none now for party nomina-
tions. With the clear development of
parties however the congressional
caucuses for naming candidates quick-
ly arose That method continued un-
til 1824. Then the' people's manifest

able that the objections to the Okla
homa guaranty law as it now exists
will be discussed at some length. It
is entirely probable that a campaign
will be launched to bring aooui cer-
tain reforms in the operation and ad-
ministration of this law. This cam-
paign must be made a campaign of
education if it is to accomplish any-
thing. The people of this state will
continue to demand a guaranty law
but if they are shown that some
changes cotild be made In the law
that would make it less a burden on
the state bankers these changes would
meet with the approval of the people
as well as the legislators. The state
bankers should see to it that the pro-
posed changes are of such a nature
that the absolute guaranty of deposits
is not affected. The people of Okla-
homa want to make hanking condi-
tions as easy as possible and yet are
dtcrmlned that the people's money
shall be safe. The enemies of the
guaranty law will make the most of
any change in the law so these
changes must be such that the law
will not be impaired. Most of the
state bankers now operating under
this law are profiting thereby and if
some change can be made that will
eliminate the constant fear of a heavy

the right kind of cultivation the out-

market a great corn crop this year
but no farmer of Oklahoma should for
one moment relax his efforts to plant
crops which will yield abundantly re-

for the choice and instruction of dele-

arisen. It has come with the canction

as each state has its own district elec-
toral college the electors may con-
sider themselves bound by the votes
of the party in their respective states
rather than by the action of a conven-

CANNING OUR PEACHES.
About $2000000 will represent the
value of the peaches which will be
shipped out of Oklahoma this season.
Conditions have been favorable for
this fruit and the yield is the best in
the history of Oklahoma horticulture.
Next fall we will buy many carloads
of canned ' peaches from Michigan
Maryland and . California. Also we..
will buy many carloads of evaporated
and dried -peaches from Missouri.
Michigan. California Utah and a few
other states.
We will send a lot of money to those
states to help their industries. We will
contribute to the building of their big
canning factories and fruit-drying es
tablishments. While it may be true
that other states will send us the
money for the peaches which we will
ship in the next few weeks why not
can these peaches at home?
Or why not establish a drying plant
to cure these many carloads of peaches
In Oklahoma?-
The growers of Oklahoma peaches
would probably welcome a movement
on the part of our Chamber of Com-
merce to start a canning factory and
also a curing plant to keep all the
peaches at home. We can use all of
them within the state and a procedure
of this kind would employ much labor.
All of us believe in buying home
products and if we can keep the home
products at home it will help the
cause mightily. Our own county ex-
pects to ship a trainload of peaches.
One orchard in Canadian county will
ship three trainloads. Wynnewood
will ship one or more trainloads. Logan
county expects to market 100 car
loads and so the-reports go peaches
and yet more peaches.
We are agreed on the matter of
buying home products. .We are agreed
that we want more factories. We
have the peaches to can but no factory
to can them. Let us not permit an-
other year to pass without having a
plant to can handnxs cf carljicL. of

Through our esteemed cotemporary

the1 Chieftain has been sold. Diligent
inquiry among the office force fails to
verify the story. If the Chieftain has

Both parties weA believe observe
the same rule with respect to delegates
whose seats are contested. A delegate
given a seat in the temporary organi
zation of the convention is .allowed to.
vote in the selection of the credentials
committee and also on the question of
accepting or rejecting the report of'
that committee. Thus a delegate wIiosq
right to sit in the convention is chal-
lenged is not only given a voice in the
creation of the tribunal which is to
try his own case but a voice in deter-
mining whether the decision of that
tribunal shall be the decision of the
convention or not. The impropriety
and injustice of that are obvious. The
effect of the rule is to make the cre-
dentials committee biased in favor of
the delegate delegates or delegations
seated by the national committee"
which of course in deciding contests
is governed largely by its own predi-
lection. But notwithstanding the
manifest impropriety and injustice of
that rule the proposition made by Mr.
Roosevelt that of allowing only un-
contested delegates to pass on these
matters would be capable of a result
no less unjust. In that event a losing
candidate ; a candidate uncertain of
his ability to win a clear-cut victory
would only have to file a sufficient
number of contests to assure himself
control of the nomination. Victory
would go then not to the man who
had won the largest number of uncon-
tested delegates but to the man who
had filed the largest number of con-
