A BAD REcoRp.

The old powers behind the throne
that have feasted on the fat Of the
lamb while the city went bowling TO
progress and prosperity" have left
some cloyen tracks that indicate the
route over which it has come
One nice little Illustration Of this IS
the Judgment levy In 1901 there was
none but In 1902 there was one.half
mill lovy IN 1903 there was one and
onehalf mills levy, but &C. was reserved
for this last year TO disclose the cap
ping judgment record Of two and eight
tenths mills
Il might seem like cruelty to the
present city attorney who is very de-
sirous of another term to suggest that
tbs city has need OF legal counsel SO
the matter Is passed az 5i.ss time
Another illustration Of their brand Of
advancement Is furnished. IN the case
of fire and water In 1901 It was two
mills in 1903 r. was three and oue-half
mills and IN 1904 Il was four mills. just
double the levy three and four years
ago Comment IS unnecessary.
Break away while there Is something

One week ago The Leader directed
few questions 10 MT Farquharson.
old gang candidate Tor mayor Mr.
Farquharson had made the statement
that he stood on his past record; that
he feared none OF the issues presented
by the Citizens
Among the questions put TO Mr
Farquharson was this one:
Mr Farquharson. II you are elected
mayor of Guthrie, viii you stand for
the redistrioting Of the city?
MT Farquharson has net answered
this question as yet
The subject of redistrictng IS The
Leaders platform II is waging this
campaign on tnat slogan Mr. Duke.

districting

mlnistration he followed the dictates

THE TWO CANDIDATES AND
WHAT THEY REPRESENT

Farquharson made the mistake Of
his life when he permitted himself to
bee used for breastworlIs for the old
gang that have so unrighteously looted
this city No personal fight has been
made on Farquharson. who is a good
quiet citizen, accommodating and aaxi-
Gus to please his customers.
That he is accommodating md yield
Ing is apparent from the fact that he
permitted this unholy alliance to put
him at the head of their ticket, that
they might hide from the unthiuking
and careless observer the cloyen foot
that IS and has been the real power
behlnd the throne in bringing this
cltys municipal affairs to their present
disgraceful and rulnous condition. Il
IS too bad when good. accommodate
ing, plant man falls into the hands
Of a gang Of reckless and designing
exploiters, but such things do happen
and IN comes to She subject Of their
manipulation
BE that as It may, the sacred inter
ests Of the people and the burdens Of
the taxpayers cry loudly for relief and
the people can net AFFORD to continue
"a permit the same old gang to run
the aaeirs Of this city They have
their record That record condemns
them II is written. not alone in the
city records. but in the general con.
dition Of the people OF course. if
that record and present conditions are
entirely satisfactory al a continue
tlon along the same line is what is
wanted why then. indorse the old
gang Of exploiters.
There are, however. those who dc
not wish TO endorse past methods, who
want better government, more econ
omy in expense and progress on a
sound basis. These have banded them
selves together and placed Dr. John
w. Duke at the head of the Citizens
ticket, not at his solicitation or at the
behest Of any gang Of despoilers, but
believing that he could and would re-
deem this city from the wreckers
clutches.
Or Duke is a man Of drmness and
decision honest to the core and as
resolute as a lion in defense of the
right. The pygmy despoilers will 60
down at one blow from his official
cudgel He is a man of wide expert
ence and close observation and knows
a man from a parasite. He will choose
men 70 assist in the deyelopn. ant OF
this city
A man who will take hold Of the
affairs Of this city and push them
along safe and conservative lines to
lasting advancement Is what Is needed
and Or. Duke and his able associates
on the Citizens ticket mean to do
just this thing

WHAT BECOMES
OF THE TAXES?
WHAT CAN BE SHOWN
FOR ALL MONEY
EXPENDED.

The kind Of progress and prosperity
that the old gang has saddied onto the
people is mirrored in the annual con
tributions exactod from year to year
in the form Of tax levies In 1892 the
assessed valuation Of city property
was sl.G5o.OoO on which levy Of 1875
mills on the dollar was made, produc-
Ing $4,000 In 1903, the assessed val
uation was si,7i2ooO. tne levy was
1915 mills and the total tax $4,000
Now watch what iollows in the
blooming year Of 1904. Last year the
assessed valuation was sl6i5.ooo and
the levy 94s mills on the dollar, thus
producing $4,000 income for city pur-
poses, exclusive of sewer and pave
ment levies taxable to abuttlng prop
erty Here, thea, is an advance in one
year Of $4,000 on city tax, not taking
into account school tax or any cf the
special leyies.
The question for the people to de-
eide next Tuesday Is. whether they are
prepared to ct a constant and IN
creasing demand for more money and
more expense, or whether they had
not at least better call a halt at this
time?
Many obligations have been assum-
ed which a new council must meet no
matter who Is elected. 50 blame mus.
not be Unfortunately attached to the
Citizens council if it does not do inn
possible things There is one thing.
however, they can and win do and that
is reduce the expsAse to the lowest
point consistent wlth sound progress.
No excuse has ever been offered for
raising the city general tax from ss5,-
600 to $4,000 a raise Of $4,000 last
year or course a lot Of long-winded
dodgIng might serve TO obscure the
issue but no sound reason can be Civ
en- for nearly doubling the city tax
last year
If the city had something to show
for this $4,000 It would be different,
but It has not for that has nothing to
do with paving or lateral sewers.
It is by no means pleasant to be
compelled to call attention TO these
facts, but the people must realize them
and grasp their significance now when
the opportunity to act with power is
presented
