is the sensible thing when children are

the little bowels; colic or constipation;
or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are

there's need of gentle regulation. Chil

And a more liberal dose of Castoria

USE OF MILITIA WANTED
Castle, Okl. A national guard
hunt for Charles Floyd, steel jack
eted desperado, was advocated by the
Oklahoma Hankers' association fol
lowing two bank robberies Thursday
in Okfuskee county. The bankers as
sociation requested Governor Mur
ray to call out the guardsmen short
ly after receiving word that their
insurance rates had been doubled be
cause of increasing depredations in
the state. Fifty-one banks were loot
ed last year.
Altho banks at I'aden and Cnstle,
ten miles apart, were robbed by dif
ferent gangs, officers believed Floyd,
identified as one of the machine gun
robbers here, was the power be hind
both raids in which apnroxiniately
15,000 was taken. Eugene Gum, sec
retary of the association iu Okla
homa City, declared that Murray
should call out the guard and "offer
a big reward for capture of Floyd
and his pals who enforce their edicts
with machine guns."
Governor Murray was out of the
state on a speaking tour and could
not be reached for comment. Nearly
a dczen bank raids are attributed to
Floyd, whose activities are said to
include socalled "Robin Hood" acts
of charity.

SAYS TAX BOOST NEEDED
Baltimore Sil ts, H. Ptrawn. pres
ident of the United Stales chamber
of commerce, declared that an in
crease in both upper ami lower brac
kets of the income tax is necessary
to aid in balacing the national bud
get. Every man in the United States
who earns an income, large or small,
must aid in the governmental money
crisis, he said in an address before
the Baltimore Bond club, and declar
ed that "the most disquieting aspect
of the present times is the disposi
tion of people to avoid payment cf
tar.es and shift the burden cn some
one else."
Balancing of the national budget
is absolutely r.ecr:-.r.ary to maintea
anfR of the governmental credit. Mr.
'.Strawn said, and even an upward re
vision or the income tax wm not. ac
complish it. New and other methods
of balancing must be devised, he de
clared. BWI3HT F. FELT0N

TAX CASE BEFORE COURT
Washington Oklahoma contested
vigorously in the supreme court the
claim of the United States that it had
the right to tax incomes from oil and
gas taken under lease from school
lands owned by the state. Federal
taxes on income of th' Coront'do Oil
and Gas con p my were at is-ue, the
United States having l ist in the low
er courts. Solicitor General Thacher
for tli3 g'-verr merit was opposed !y
Senator Gorr ;nu Dr vid A. Kit hard
son for Oklahoma.
Under tiv Oklahoma enabling act,
by which ir became a slate, public
land was placed in trust wuh it by
the United States for public schorl
purpo.(s. The United States admit
ted the oil ;nd gns contained in this
land, while held in trust by Okla
homa, was exempt fnm federal tax
ation, but asserted it had the right
to tax income cf private Individuals
and corporations derived from the
sale, of such oil and gas taken from
such land when produced under
leases with the state. Oklahoma con
tended those operating under leases
on the school land weie agents or
instrumentalities of the state exempt
