WHAT ho BKAL ESTATE OVYMiltS SVY.'
Muskogee Times-Democrat:
We believe the State Hoard of Equalization made
a terious blunder when it raised tiie appraised val-
uation of merchandise In this county 100 ]i. r cent.
Of course, the board raised other coimth s us It
thought proportinably and this is probably, true. The
error was in the arbitrary advance of merchandise
stocks, not ou'y In Muskogee, but throughout the
Btate. Ever since this country has been open to
business the merchant and the bunker have been com-
pelled to pay an unjust proportion of the taxes as
compared to real estate. Taking the stute over, it is
doubtful if the average reai estate valuation Is over
33 1-3 per cent, while the banks pay on the full 100
per cent and the recent raise on sto \ks of merchan-
dise will bring this class of property up to the 100
per cent limit. Real estate, Including farm lands, is
Increasing very rapidly in this state. Every good store
or good bank established increases the desirability of
the community and enhances the value of the farm
and the city lot. And, yet, followed to its logical con-
clusion. these are the very Interests which the state
board, by its recent decision, if It Jon't change its
plans, is penalizing. There Is no question, but that
farm lands In tie state are appraised for taxation at
less than half their value. This is so in tills country
and In some of the counties this condition is even
worse than here. The state board was right in seek-
ing to raise the total appraisement so as to make it
more nearly conform wjt l the law, but the board
should have increased the class of property assessed
too low, not the class which Is already bearing an
unjust share of the tax burden.
WHEN WIM'KU COMES KAMA.
"With frost frequently catching the crops In his
Held the first of September the Vermont farmer is
discouragcl, and this has added to other reasons for
his abandoning the farm." says a writer In the
American Magazine, on t e above farmer of New Eng-
land.
This aion^ Is one of tile gr at differences between
Oklahoma and New England that attempts to fur-
nish all our legislative wisdom. Tile Oklahoma farmer
has virtually three growing seasons while the New
Englander has one. When the others end In Septem-
ber, Oklahoma has one more season that ripens many
cereals. We expect cotton to still keep on growing
In November, and can pick it in December and Jan-
uary.
In the length of season in which he nan do farm
work the Oklahoma farmer does not begin to appreci-
ate his advantage. He never can have a complete
failure.
wiik ii is mom: i>k< km .'
It Is reported from Washington that President Taft
will veto the New .Mexico and Arizona constitutions
because the latter provides that the state shall hold
an election on the recall provision to conform with
the request of congress.
Why the trouble to veto when the state could. If
the constitution were adopted without the recall, Im-
mediately after securing statehood call an election
and have the provision placed in, and the Supremo
Court of the United States would ratify the a tion.
This court is of Mr. Taft's own creationl It held in
contest for the capital in Oklahoma that the state
couM go back on its contract with Congress and tile
President, and would undoubtedly do so again.
And then again, as to the characters of the con-
stitutions of New Mexico and Arizona. Which is the
more decent? The constitution of New Mexico pro-
vides that it cannot be amended except by a three-
fourths majority of the state and two-thirds majority
vote In ea*li county. This means, being a reactionary
constitution, that it will never he amended. Between
the two. the more flexible instrument is the reasonable
and decent one In every point, as it gives toe people
opportunity to amend It to suit changed conditions.
THK \ \l I K OK INTELLECT.
James Hayden Hyde, of the Equitable insurance
scandal, lias put up a prize of $200, It is advanced
In Paris, for the author who writes the greatest book
that will increase International friendship. Here Is
a tribute to intellect on the one side ai.■ 1 International
friendship on the other. T.ils same fellow once spent
1100,000 for a little supper. In which "Utile Egypt,"
the nude dancer, was served in a pie, from which she
arose, in the center of the table, to the surprise of
tile guests. It would be supposed a sport of that
character would at least pay for the blank paper an
author would use writing a tribute on International
friendship.

Is: "If we . 1 only had t::s rain seatl veil along in
June!"
It is demonstrated that tiie supply of water aver-
ages up evenly one year with another, but tiie time
that It is available does not always meet with hu-
man need.
Plenty of water falls in this sectio:| of the coun-
try year after year, floods the streets, raises havoe
In tiie cellars, rushes to the river and is gone.
If it rained gold dollars lAid we did no more to
conserve the supply, but permitted (lie glittering coins
to roll on down the river and to the sea, even a
golden shower every year would not a.id to our pros-
perity.
The great wealth of the world is a product of rain-
water. Rain is actually the same as falling gold
dollars, although not legal tender, bccause from rain-
water applied at the rigi.t time is derived the agri-
cultural wealth of the country.
If suddenly tomorrow gold dollars fell from l
sky, and nobody had a pocket, a bank, or any plat-
to conserve the rolling coins everybody would gra;i
a handful, and would then watch the rest of the
coins go rolling by.
I-rf*t such a phenomenon happen but once, however,
and the very next time the weather man announce .1
a golden tinge looming up on the horizon we would
all be out with bushel baskets.. Some of our local
capitalists would at once lease the ball park for a
dollar corral, and the whole population would be out
"conserving" dollars to beat the Guggenheims.
The man who lamented the dollar drought, and who
condemned Mr. Sullivan for not shortening up the
spaces between gold showers, would get little sym-
pathy even from the man wiio had nothing more to
hold out in the dollar shower than a quart cup.
The wise boy would say to the drought whiner:
"Tons of them went rolling down t ie str.et last
fall, why didn't you nail on to some?"
So it is with the rainwater, there is plenty of it,
and sometimes more than plenty sometime during ti;
year.

agriculture. At present, however, we hav eno pock-
ets, no banks, no vaults to iiold tiiis wealth until it
is needed.
People save money anil lock it up in a safe place
so that the supply .can he distributed where and Wiien
it is most needed. A vast amount of currency would
be. a very uncomfortable possession unless the pos-
sessor had some place suitab'e for its hoarding.
Likewise tlie great sheets of water overflowing spine
portions of the valley at presmt is a nuisan e. b
cause the possessors have no lit place to Hoard t:r
water until it Is needed most.
There is opportunity in this valley for enormous
projects to conserve (he excessive rainfall until s. .
seasons of the year when the skies are a ; brass, a.a!
the earth baked hot and bare.
One of the things we need badly is a rainwater

We can't quite understand the situation of the
Baptist college of this state.. There is one institu-
tion by that name in Blackwell, one under construc-
tion at Shawnee, and the Putnam addition at Okla-
homa City claims one. How is it, are there three
institutions?
KECAI.L OK JUDGES.
Whether judges should be subject to reca'l or not,
Is a natter that cannot, evidently, be declared ex-
cathedra, but must be tested by experience as a
final test. The growing tendency against IIf tenor
even of the judges comes of tiie fact of experience
that an immovable condition bo onies detached from
the law of averages which levels the mountains to
the plains in social as well as planetary speech
Your judge is in a sense a recluse, clogging
his days with dog formulas, not driven by the
common need of change, and looks upon stability
through the forms t'lat have had longest sanction.
Hence he is more Apt to be In retrograde than in ad-
vance of his times. He is a reallrt. with a limited
vision, just the sam* as the closet scholar economist
Is an idealist, with trio" much vlson for his sub-
stance.
The supposed necessity for judicial dignity is a
relic of barbarous times. These band around ancient
citadels of royalty and privileged wealth and do not
comport with the modern condition, in which a thing is
valued for its intrinsic service for society..

Standard Oil, now that it has to nul'livlde into thirty-
three organizations, should charge more for oil tlian
before, and be able to mnlhtaln Its prices If will
surely cost it more to run Its business. T'.e Kansas
City Star savs on Ibis matter: "One great factqv In
the organization of the Standard Oil Company was tlio
decreasing of expenses by means of one central or-
ganization. Under the new regime there will be thirty-
three independent corporations to maintain and each
will require considerably more money to carry on its
work than was necessary before. How, then, can the
Increased expenses of these thirty-three companies be
paid and at the same time the price of oil and oil
products be kept clown to the low sohedulo heretofore
existing? It is a pretty problem In economics and It
remains to be seen how it Will be solved. If the price
of oil and oil products increaes materially under the
new system there Is sure to be u revu'slon of feeling
on the trust proposition."

"Cardin Cured Me"
For nearly ten years, at different times, Mrs. Mary Jinks
of Tread way, Tenn., suffered with womanly troubles. She
says: "At last, I took down and thought I would die. I
could not sleep. I couldn't eat. I had pains all over. The
doctors gave me up. I read that Cardui had helped so
many, and I began to take it, and it cured me, Cardui
saved my life! Now, I can do anything."

the pr.ins peculiar to weak women, such as headache,
backache, dragging-down feelings, pains in arm, side, hip
or limbs, and other symptoms of womanly trouble, you
should try Cardui, the woman's tonic. Prepared from per-

the Osage country, said while here
today that Osage County, which was
one of the worst hit by the pro'onged

carry all stock through the winter—
more, in fact, than the farmers there
had last year. Crops of cane, Kaf-

dian corn and hay promise well.
Many of the range pastures, how-
ever, Jacobson says, were pastured
too closely during the dry period to
recover and produce much grass
again this year.
