In the Oklabomau of April 30
We quoto the first paragraph, for
that will show better than any other
way how misleading it is, and how
inconsistent with former utterances
of that paper.
"Tho last legislature appropriated
$18,000,000 for the expenses of the
state government for the next two
years. This is probably two or three
millions more than the present bie
nial revenues, uml will consume all
the money derived from the gross
production tax, the ituoino tax. gen-
eral tax levies. an«U the Plate's share
counties could easily raise tho sl<
millions necessary to meet the federal
appropriation of six millions and that
tho one third apportioned to the coun
tics ($1.1,000,000) would make a total
of $1.S.000,000 in the next two years
on tho pay-as-you-go plan of lb"

claimed that was too much mop
