. About 99 per cent of our tax laws
have been rewritten since state-
hood. 'As nyconsequenco they have
become somewhat complicated. I
believe Hint nt the proper time aft-
er study and preparation thn legis-
lature should give attention to n
borough revision of our nil va'orem
lystem of taxation and that after
most comprphonolvo Investiga
tion and study should-devise n sys-
tem simpler In Its enforcement. In
doing this thought should bo given
to tho simplifying of issuing tag ro-
eelpte to the milking certain of tho
stntus of nil taxpayers nnd the pre-
vention ot unjust practices and tho
compounding of pennltlen nnd costs
to tho taxpayer. The provisions of
tha assessment lawn should nf that
time be revised and an equitable
barls of nil nssessmentA made Im-
perative However I believe based
upon my experience ns state auditor
and member of the stnto board of
equalization that sufficient machin-
ery Islrcady provided for tho
proper assessment nnd equalization
of property for taxation purposes
ider whatever assessment law that
may now be In force or afterwards
enacted. Consequently I nm. op-

A Warning.
In concluding my appeal to the
democrats of. Oklahoma I feel It my
duly to sound to them as a demo-
rat a warning. In recent years In
a great many states there have
grown up political oligarchies and
machines which have become a
menace to government I if those
states. Kven In tho national govern-
ment It became necessary to pasn
the "Corrupt J'ractlce" act In our
own stale the framern of our early
laws attempted to prevent It by the
limiting of expenditures In primary
and genoral elections. Oklahoma
being a now state has perhaps not
beon cursed with thin system to the
extent that other states of the na-
tion have but an we gow older
thin condition In beginning to appear
on the horizon of Oklahoma and be-
fore wo suffer from It us other
states hnvo It should bo stamped
out. Wherever It hnn appeared It
