OCCUPATION TAX.
There lias been <|uitea discus-
sion of the occupation tax recent-
ly passed by the city council and
much adverse criticism has been
offered.
We must confess that our
knowledge of the bill is not suffi-
cient to warrant an opinion as to
its merits or demerits but we do
know that it is necessary to pro-
vide for tire maintenance of the
city government. We do know
that the city's m ist productive
source of revenue has been cut
off by prohibition and that until
we have a new assessment where-
in property can be assessed at
its true value that some tempor-
ary means must be devised to
pay our running expenses.
In criticising any act of the city
council the statute under which
the act was passed must be
sidered. It often happens that
the council would be glad to do
different but cannot on account
of the law.
We believe that the progres
sive Cituins of Chandler will
uphold any system of temp irary
t xution, just-so that it is made
as equitable as possible to make
it. If the ordinance recently
passed can be made more equit-
FISCAL AGENCY
The present law provides that
the payment of all bonds and all
interest on bonds are payable in
New York City and the State
Treasurer and all of the County
Treasurer must keep a deposite
thereto meet matureing obliga
tions, thus keeping thousands oi
dollars of courency there that
should be in circulation here.
Representative Stettmund has
introduced a bill to correct this
evil and make the interest pay
able in Oklahoma instead of New
York. It appears to us to be a
meritorious measure and any
law which will prevent the pay-
ment of tribute to New York
will be hailed with delight by the
people. Representative Stett
mund is one of the powers that be
in the House. He has gained the
confidence and respect of his as
sociates and is one of the work-
ers of that working body.

Mrs. ,T. A. Smith left yester-

Tiie cost of the navy is the in-
surance premium we pay for
peace. The protection it gives is
| worth many times the cost.
jTninkof tiie losses we would
| suffer from a foreign war, and of
how we would have to crouch and
fawn to avoid it if we had no
navy! If we would be safe
against the conflagration the in-
surance premium must* be paid,

it is our insurance for peace,

Very true, and what the navy
is to the United States the Initia-
tive and Referendum is to the
state, an insurance that graft
will not rule. It is much cheap-
er than a navy too.

It is very impor'nnt that rail-

“Once in my early career," said a
well-known New York magazine ed-
itor, “I owned and edited a more or
less thrifty weekly newspaper. One
of my features was country corres-
pondence. and 1 prided myself on the
accuracy of my rural aids. In one
issue, from the best point on my
list. I received a notice reading as
follows: '.\Ir. John Grady, having pur-
chased a plot of ground in Mach-
pelah some months ago, has now gone
into real estate body and soul. John
was always an enthusiast.' The item
looked all right to me, and sounded
quite enterprising, I thought: but a
day or two after the paper had got
around among the subscribers I re-
ceived a letter of 'indignity,” which
almost took my breath away. In ft
I was duly informed that Mr. Grady
was dead and buried in the Machpelah
cemetery, where he had purchased a
plot some three months previously.
In conclusion, l may say that my cor
respondent at that point has sinoe
risen to prominence as a humorist,
nnd I suppose most of you have read
his stuff iu various publications. But
that item was not very funny for him,
or for me. because he had to get
another job far away, and I lost a
dozen good subscribers.”

A quaint theory is that a French
mystic, who holds that the four points
of the compass have an influence on
human health and well-being. Travel-
ing westward, asserts this authority,
induces melancholy; traveling east-
ward brings cheerfulness; southward
languor and irritability, and north-
ward calmness. It* is a question of
electrical currents, and the Influence
is felt not only when traveling, but
rlso when at home. The best posture
for working is to fnce either north or
east, says the Frenchman. In these
positions you receive positive waves
of electricity, the negative currents
coming from the other two points,
south and west. Even the sleep Is Im
proved, it seems, if the foot of the
bod be turned to the north or the
east. To sleep in the contrary posi-
tion induces nightmare and general
uneasiness
