For years and years small tribe
Of crazy fellows were possessed of
the hallucination that they could find

or more of them would start off on his
foolish mission, frequently falling to

MORE OR LESS
POLITICAL

Guthrie, Sept. S.--A prominent Re-
publican paper publican paper publish
ed August 81, 1909, contains the fol
lowing display headlines.
Railroads rapidly being constructed
all over Oklahoma" The body of the
dispatch then proceeds to enumerate
many railroads which are now in the
course of construction and to enlarge
upon the work of the different systems
which are now building branch lines as
well as entirely new railroads which
are being built by Independent com
panies.
The construction of millions upon
millions of dollars of packing plants
and manufacturing establishments are
daily recorded in not only the Demo
cratic press, but the Republican press
as well. These has never been time
in the history of the state when so
much foreign capital has been active
within the state In the face of all
these facts it would seem that paper
that would continually croak about
wildcat laws, impaired credit, unstable
conditions brought about by Democrat
ic folly, was entitled to every little
consideration at the hands of the peo-
Pile There is not even a film of truth
to hide the real intent of an attempt to
discredit the Democratic party at the
expense OF the public good.
Oklahoma is all right The Demo-
cratic administration is all right, and
the efforts on the part of the few Re-
publican papers to discredit both, are
falling flat.
There will be no illegal or excessive
levy extended upon the tax books OF
the various counties this year. Each
county has reported its tax levies for
county, city, township and school dis
trict purposes to the state examiner
and inspector, and a trusted clerk is re-
viewing such and every one Of them
He reports that there are but very few
excessive levies reported this year and
that they are being trimmed to the
proper proportion. He calls attention
to the fact that it will not be neces-
sary for school districts to hold over
the amount OF money for the following
years school that they have here
tofore been accustomed to do for the
reason that all Of tne taxes are now
paid in one payment and are due in
December. Heretofore the last half
of taxes was not due till the following
June, hence it was necessary to save
considerable money to begin the next
years school.
