The Barnes boosters are reason
ably sure Of defeat II will quickly
turn into a rout II only the opposing
forces viii nlstle and root like the
,nd "exes" are doing. They are
working day and night. over time,
and any old time, to get one more
crack at the city treasury.
The hopeful thing about the sitria-
tion is that tax payers and business
men are beginning to sit up and take
notice. The more they think of the
city as II was two years ago the less
they desire a return To such condi-
ltions b stands for both BARNES
and BANKRUPTCY.
1t may be true that Barnes needs
the place. II may be true that the old
gang think he will restore TO them
their departed glory They may be
Trying to groom him for a job
higher up the line. But can the city
of Guthrie AFFORD to stand for this
and pay the bills incident TO creating
Barnes machine? That is the
problem presented to the taxpayers.
After carefully reviewing the situ-
alton, in view Of all the past and from
words dropped here and there. it is
believed that the election of Barnes
and the coming of his rooters into
control Of the city and its finances,
would cost the city between S500.0O0
and Sl.Oe0, 600. Mark the figures, they
look large. but they DO not oYerstep
tho probabilities.
During the last two years there has
been a reduction Of S4o0 per month
In the pay roll without in the least az
fecting the efficiency of the city
service. Should the Barnes people
get in the saddle there is every rea
son to believe that this $500 reduc
tion would disappear at once and a
rise OF more than three times that
amount take It's place. Hence the
activity among the rooters.

the streets have been better Kept
than ever before. but the poll tax hai
been reduced from s400 to $3.50
