In the Daily Oklahoman of Aug. "a,
is statement of private property as
sessed locally by the county assessors
giving the property valuations of pri-
vate property for the year 1909, com
pared with the valuations of 1908. An
examination of these figures make in
teresting reading for the citizens OF
Chickasha and Grady county. These
property values were taken by the as
SCISSOR as rendered by the owners
and are evidently not too high for the
reason that the owners when they
give in their property are not placing
the values too high because they do
not want to pay SO much tax, and it
frequently happens that the values are
too low.
Grady county tax values for 1908,
$685. ,4S4; in 1909, $15,376,S54, or a
gain of more than $6,00O,OO0 or an in
crease Of 81 per cent.
Oklahoma county with all its boast
ing about the marvellous progress of
Oklahoma City, only gained rs per
cent; so Grady county skinned Okla,
homa county Al per cent, or nearly 8
to on the increase of taxable values
In 1908, Grady county stood TWEEN
tieth in the list of taxable values; ii
1909 she stands ninth In the afate nav

ing passed in one year eleven Of her
competitors for the first place in tax,
able values. This is a wonderful show
ing, especially when you consider the
fact that Carter, Cleveland, Okfuskee,
Usage, Pottawatomie, Seminole and
Stephens counties show a decrease or
s per cent.
| have not made figures on all the
counties, but have gone over the list
carefully and have compared the gain
of all the larger counties and none OF
them shows the percentage of gain
that Grady shows,
Comanche county, our neighbor on
the west gained two and one-half mill
lions, or an increase Of 21 per cent.
Our other neighbor on the west, Cad
do county, shows an increase of lit
tie more than four millions, or Al per
cent; Muskogee county with her fast
growing city Of Muskogee, only shows
an increase of AZ per cent.
These are facts that cannot be dis
puted nor explained away. They show
the marvellous growth Of Chickasha
and Grady county, that our county has
increased In wealth faster than any
county in the state. which Is saying
great deal in state like Oklahoma
where property values in almost the
entire state ars going up rapidly.
