I personally am not sure what an "oxide ratio column" is, but I would guess it's because he didn't think it was important at the time. I'm not sure it's important now. It sounds vaguely like a way of indicating common valences, but it doesn't sound like an especially good way of doing so.

Who created the periodic table?

The first periodic table was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev in the mid-19th century.He wasn't the only person thinking along those lines ... both John Newlands and Lothar Meyer had proposed similar ideas However, Newlands was largely criticized and ignored at the time, and Meyer didn't make any predictions, so Mendeleev's table (which did make predictions about the properties of several as-yet-undiscovered elements) is generally regarded as the first.
