Bankers Meet.

The bankers and business men Of
Vinita held joint meeting in the
New Auditorium building yesterday
evening, to discuss the financial situ-
alton in Vinita. DIR. Oliver Bagby
was made chairman by the bankers
and explained the situation about as
follows:
The bankers Of Vinita have held a
meeting and decided to pay each de-
positor ten dollars in currency, per
day until the financial situation eases
up. This, however, does not prevent
any customer from getting drafts or
clearing house certificates in any
amount.
The banks Of VinlJa have about
their usual amount Of cash on hand,
but have not an unusual amount to
meet this demand. The Kansas City,
st. Louis and other clearing house
banks refuse to ship US one cent Of
currency and hence our action. We
are sure that there is no danger Of
the big banks ''going broke" for they
have our money, as we'll as everybody
elses money, and will not send it out
to anyone. We believe this to be on
ly Temporary money famine and
think it will last probably six weeks.
The doctor stated that he had be to
many other towns, including Coffey-
vile and independence, Kansas, and
that they had taken similar action.
Several questions we're asked by the
business men, but all seemed TO be
satisfied with the stand tak'L hy the
bankers and business wiil r,n.in VI.
nlta just the same as If no, hing had
happened.

Candidate for Sheriff Issues an
Address to Democratic Vot-
ers Of Winn Parish.

III Iffs'
friends / hereby announce my
name as candidate for the office
of Sheriff of the Parish of Winn,
subject to the action of the coming
Democratic primary election.
1t is needless for me to tell the
people OF Winn Prrish who l am,
or what | am. As my life, from
early childhood, has been spent on
a farm in this parish, with the
exception of three years 1 have
filled the Office of parish treasurer.
every, interest I, j have is fully
identified with my fellow citizens,
aud if elected sheriff, will pledge
myself to diligently and faithful
ly discharge the duties of the
office to the best of my ability.
There are many questions now
confronting the people,, chief of
which, in my judgment, is the
question of taxation and educa-
ton. From time to time / shall
express my views ON other ques-
tions, but here and now l shall deal
with taxation and education.
The Office of sheriff is purely
executive. but many times in the
rigid execution of the lays it can
be done in a manner to- benefit
the people. l consider the COM
missions paid for collecting taxes
exorbitant Sad burdensome. For
instance. the taxes collected from
July l, 1906 to July L, 1907, footed
up the SUN of $l2l,071.3S.
The commission on the above at
5 per cent amounts to 81, 6,O53. to
say nothing of commission on
License and fines collected, We
pay each year. this vast sum in
commission to the tax collector.
hope this burden will he removed
from the pcople,in great degree.
By the action of the next General
Assembly. Pay the Tax Collector
ateasonable comission-no more.
The amount col!ectes.s for
special school taxes from the
various school districts and
wards in the parish from July
] i, 1906, to July L, 1907, amount
ell to $25, ,563.S0. The coIhmis-
siens allowed for collecting
same amounted to $l,27S.16.
Commissions for collecting
special school taxes should never
have been permitted, consequent

every cent of commissions from
this tax TO the district or ward
front whence collected 10 aid in
TIE education of the children of
the district or ward. -..,g~ ~
Twelve Hundred Dollars and
more, (amount Of commissions
for collecting special school
taxes) would support three good
schools in the parish for a term
of. eight months each. /, as a
friend to justice, and 10 the edu-
cation of the ehiIdren of Winn
Parish, pledge myself, if elected
to- the position of sheriff and
tax coIlector.i 70 refpsd to each

school taxes free of commissions,

remain as part of the special
