THE WHEAT CROP
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

BADLY.

Irish Potato Crop Practically Ruined,

Was Destroyed-cIover Is Badly
Hurt.
Tuesdays Daily.)

The frost of Sunday night did moi
seriously damage the wheat crop Of
Maury county is the comforting reas
surance of many farmers interviewed
upon the subject. While the crop was
slightly damaged, it is not believed
that the yield will be greatly reduced,
although in some fields it is likely that
about one-fourth Of the crop was de-
stroyed.
With the wheat crop safe and the
failure of frost to fall on Monday night
there is a spirit Of optimism abroad
in the land that was not felt earlier
In the week, as merchants and farm
ers alike were inclined on Monday to
forget that every sky has a roseate
hue.
The damage, though not so large as
at first reported, was considerable, gar
dens being almost universally destroy
ed, Irish potatoes badly damaged and
fruit all killed That the Irish potato
crop was hard hit became more evi. |
dent after the ravages Of the frost |
were closely noted No encouraging |
reports are being received from any |
section of the county, and It will be
if the plants that were Bit !
Town should put out AMI produce any
hing like half crop.
Glover also shows the effects Of the
rigid weather, as many fields are bent
own beneath the load Of frost that

Guthrie, okla, Oct. 25. 1910.

puinitbt Ohiust OIt. 81 lJlu.
To the Tax Payers Of Logan County:
Through the columns OF Tho Leader
] wish to call your attention to the fact
OF a few irregularities existing In the
county offices, to-wit:
1st. Mr. Tax Payer under the Ses-
sion Laws Of 1905 regulating salaries
for the different county officers it
regulates the salaries of county Off.
GERS on the basis OF population.
The population OF the County of
Logan of 1907. Federal Census, Bulle-
tin No. SO, 1t gives the population OF
Logan county 30.7l1.
The census population as taken by
the assessors for 1908 in Logan county
was slight decrease of the Federal
census. The county commissioners of
your county, Mr.. Tax Payer, declared
this census by assessors incorrect and
threw 1t out and are allowlno salaries
on the salary fund on the basis Of
10000 population.
Under the Session Laws of 1905 the
law allows the county clerk $1,6000O
salary and deputy. $SOO.OO, and in
addition to that 1t allows $4,000 for
making up the tax roll when makes
a total of $4,000.
Mr.. Tax Payer, at meeting OF the
.ocnuty commissioners in January they
allowed the county clerk 100000 for
making UP tax roll and also $4,000 to
the deputy county clerk for work on
old books. They are allowing salaries
ca a basis OF 10000 population. Where
did they get that population,
Mr.. Tax Payer you are paying the
probate Judge $4,000 per year more
than what is due him on a true basis.
MIR. Tax Payer you are paying to 5
thousand dollars year to county Of
ficials more than the law allows.
What are you going to do about it?
You turned down couple of good
men in the nomination and election
for county clerk and went to the dog
kennels and picked up couple and
have them in the clerks office. You
90 not need to take my word; just let
your minds drift back to the early
days of Guthrie and Logan county and
all the old settlers will know what you
have got. do not want to make any
direct charges in the previous years.
II Is not necessary. The county judge
can not entertain any case against
these officials. Why? Because It
would affect his salary. The county
treasurer can not turn these warrants
down that come 10 him for payment.
Why? Because the commissioners al
lowed the bills and the clerk drew war
rants for same and he dare not say
anything. Why? Because he would
Set his head chopped off by the ring.
Mr.. Tax Payer. what are you going
TO do about all of these irregularities
Are you still going to let them con.
tinue on. are you going to get up a
petition to the county attorney asking
him to bring action In court against
these officials and get this proposition
down on true basis? And are you
going to elect block heads for county
commissioners to be tool for such
men as are in the county clerks
office. Respectfully, LM
sti jt BERT A. RAY,
Tax Payer OF Logan County.

Reth Enda AaaInat the MIddIe.

ends against the middle
Oklahoma Territory had public
building fund that had grown to five
hundred and seyenty-four thousand
dollars spot cash from public build
ing lands given the people to Greats
their necessary public institutions.
Joe McNesl In the saddle as hnan-
cier OF the old Territorial gang got
this money into his string Of banks
at an average rate OF interest slightly
above two per cent.
Here is one Of the places Joe Mo
Neal got his wealth.
After paying the people this trifiIng
amount OF interest. and re-loaning the
money under his motto: big inter
est won't break bank Big Interest
Joe was getting profit Of almost one
hundred and thirty-two thousand dol
lars year out Of the peoples public
building cash.
That was one end.
Oklahoma Territory had Eve hun
dred and eleven insane patients to
be cared for. 1t had no insane asy-
lum. because Joe McNeals string Of
banks were using the public building
cash for their own use, but the Joe
McNeal crowd did own private san
itarium at Norman. and got the Job
Of caring for the insane at such an
extravagant rate that the stock OF the
sanitarium was worth four hundred
dollars for one hundred dollar
share.
That was the other end.
So Joe grew rich playing both ends
against the middle.
Who was the middle?
Answer: The taxpayers Of oklaho-
ma Territory.
Playing both ends against the mid
die is what Joe McNeal means by his
latest motto:
"Morc business and less politics"
"Big Interest" Joe never fSiled to
help the special interests oppress the
people. You have seen the photo
graphs of his affidavits, voluntarily
given the railroads.
To raise the passenger rates up to
three cents per mile.
To raise the freight rates an aver
age Of sixty per cent.
To dodge their just share OF taxa
tion.
You have seen Joe McNeal's appeal
bonds, voluntarily given the rail-
roads,
To tie up the two cent fare case.
To tie up the fret ht rate cases.
To tie up their tax cases.
To remove the suits OF widows and
orphans from state courts at home to
United States courts SO far from home
that the widows and orrrans had to
settle their claims at ten cents on the
4 dollar, because they had no money to
carry witnesses and themselves long
distances to find United States courts
to try their cases.
These are only a few OF the Joe
McNeai policies.
He fought the constitution of Okla.
homa In its making.
He fought the constitution in its
adoption.
He went to the President Of the
United States to get the constitution
rejected.
He said our constitution was So
ciallstic, populistic, freak document
and not fit to live under.
McNeal said that the people OF In
dian Territory should be held out OF
statehood and taken In with Oklaho-
ma Territory a bite at time, mot
for any reason of justice, but so that
il would be easier for the Joe McNeal
gang to oppress the people of the
new state just as they had oppressed
the people OF Oklahoma Territory.
