SCHOOL TAX EXPLANATION.
/
The Board of Trustees were peti-
tioned to order an election in Sulphur
Springs Independent School District
to determine whether or not there
should be collected a tax of fifty
cent* oh the one hundred dollars val-
uation on the taxable property in said
school district; the election was or-
dered. This was made necessary by
a decision of the Supreme Court of
thg StfSf. of Texas, in this after the
adoption of the constitution, provid-
ing that school districts may vote a
tax upon themselves for- school pur-
poses of fifty cents on the one hun-
dred dollars valuation, by a majority
vote of the property tax payers in the
district.. We, of the Sulphur Springs
School District voted the 50 cent tax,
after which time the Unity school
community petitioned the Board of
Trustees to be admitted to this dis-
trict, and was duly under the law ad-
mitted, and became apart of our dis-
trict; the rule provided that when
they come in they were under the tax
but the 8upreme Court of this State
decided that they were not, while
they were a part of our school syr-
tem they did not have to pay the tax
4ntil the whole district, including the
newly acquired territory determined
that they should pay the fax by a
majority of the tax paying voters vot-
ing at an election held for the entire
district, and this election is called so
that the tax paying voters of the whole
district shall vote the tax uniformly
for the whole district or defeat it for
the entire district.. If it is defeated
there will be no tax in the entire dis-
trict for school purposes.. If a major-.
ity votes for the tax the amount of the'
tax will be uniform 50 cents on the
one hundred dollars valuation all over
the school district.

MULE ACTS AS BOOTLEGGER.
What can the United States do with
a trained pack mule which goes across
the line of the old Indian Territory,
gets his packs loaded with liquor
and then returns across the line de-
livering the liquor to regular custom-
ers? - /
That is the problem the United
States district attorney at Muskogee
is facing. He received information that
there is a mule and that he is doing
a regular bootlegging business and
his owner, whoever he is, is getting
rich. Nobody knows who loads the
the mule delivers the money.
V j • :fs
The mule is sent across the line
from old Indian Territory and some-
body loads his packs. He is turned
V - _
loose and starts back. He stops at
certain farm houses and the farmers
take out their bottle of liquor and
drops the money into the pack. That
is kept up until the mule reaches
home, wherever that is. *Th« owner
of the mule shifts around so much
that so far it has been impossible to
• /
get definite information either as to
his owner or the person who supplies
thje liquor across the line. But the
mule seems to know his business and
is making his master rich, acording
to the information at the ot&qe of the
district attorney. The mul« Ji operat-
ing across the line between Creek
and Payne counties, the former being
inside the old Indian Territory* and
the later outside in old Oklahoma
Territory, where thq Federal prohibi-
tion law does not apply.—Wapapucka
