The school land bill, commonly
known as the McTaggart bi 11,
which has passed the house,
is regarded generally as danger
ous to the school {landjrevenues,
and as almost wholly for the
benefit of the lessees whose
agents are actively engaged in
its behalf. The provision fixing
the rental value of each quarter
section at 6 per cent of the ap-
praised valuation by county or
township assessors is especially
offensive. The rental value un-
der the present leasing system is
far too low, although the valua-
tion is increasing from year to
year. The school land board has
estimated that the revenues for
1903 would amount to $400,000
under the system now in effect.
The 6 per cent clause in the Mc-
Taggart bill, it is alleged, would
cut this'sum down to $200,000.
In the report of the secretary of
the school land board for 1902, is
printed a table showing the aver
age annual rental value of a
quarter section of school land in
the different counties. A state-
ment has been prepared showing
what the average rental value of
taxable or non-school lands in the
different counties would be at 6
per;cent of their assessed valua-
tion as shown after equalization
in the office of the territorial
auditor. The valuation of these
lands includes improvements
which are not included in the
valuations of school lands. In
Kay county, for instance, the
table prepared by the secretary of
the school land board shows that
the average rental is $103.57,
while the average annual rental
value of other than school lands,
at 6 per cent of their assessed
valuation, would be only $40.32.
This shows in a practical way
what the actual results of the
McTaggart bill would be. A
tabulated statement, by counties
containing both lists of figures,
the first figures being the present
average annual rental for each
quarter of school land, follows:
Kay - $103.57 $40.32
Noble - 75.84
Garfield 74.62
Kingfisher - 74.48

Spreading Out.
Hirzel Bros., the leading gro-
cerymen of Guthrie, are compell-
ed to build another large business
block to accommodate their in-
creasing tn.de. The new build-
ing will be erected on their lots
just north ol their present quart-
ers and will join their old build-
ing. The new structure will be
50 by 75 feet and two storieshigh.
When completed, it will give them
a store seventy-five leet facing on
Second street and extending back
the same number cf feet. From
a small beginning a few years
ago, these gentlemen have built
up the best grocery business in
Guthrie, which is the result of
honest dealing and superior
goods. The World is pleased to
note the success of Hirzel Bros.,
for they are deserving to the
highest degree.
Billy Schlegel, of Chandler,
one of the very best Odd Fellows
on earth, was a visitor to Guthrie
last Friday. Billy came over to
help the boys introduce a candi-
date to the mysteries of the En-
campment. Of course Harry
Strough was on hand to see that
the work was done according to
the unwritten law.

in some
of the western counties the 6 per
cent scheme would provide more
revenue than is now derived from
the school lands. The increase
in many instances, however
would be so great as to make the
leasing of lands in such counties
as Beaver, undesirable.
Awful Accident.
Geo. W. Cassell, of Danville,
111., went to the Frisco depot
yesterday evening to meet his
wife and daughter, from whom he
had received notice would arrive
on the evening train. The train
s late and while waiting for
its arrival, Mr. Cassell put in the
time walkiug around. An engine
was making transfers and switch-
ing on a side track near the de-
pot and the old gentleman at-
tempted to cross the track in front
of the moving engine. He was
half way across the track when
the engine struck him and he was
carried under it, the drive wheels
passing over both his legs just
below the knees. He was carried
unconcious, to the waiting room
where Dr. Marshall and an assist-
ant had arrived in answer to
call. Both legs were amputated
just above the knee, but the
shock was too much for the aged
man and he remained in an un-
concious condition until death re-
sulted this morning.—Chandler
