3 YEARS OLD
YOUNGEST IN FAMILY SHOWS
REMARKABLE PROGRESS.
Big GROWTH IN ALL LINES
Many Political Experiments Fail 20
10 permanently IIiEhcr Her
advance.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov l7-oNlhomo
celebrated the third anniversary of
her birth into the Union Of states yes
tcrGay. The progress OF the young
state during these three years has
been remarkable when guaged by the
miestones Of her commercial ana po-
litical progress
A quarter of million Of people
have been added to the population
of The state since President Roose-
Welt signed the statehood proclama-
ton, while two Of the leading cities
of the state have doubled their popu-
lauon within this period, Agrcult-
ural resources have been developed
10 remarkable extent and the oil
and gas industry has grown from an
infant industry to mammoth propor-
ticns
While several new railroads have
been constructed during the last three
years railroad building has not kept
pace with the rapid progress in other
commercial lines, owing to rcstric-
tions placed In the constitution on
conaolldation Of new roads with old
lines
Probably the mos, rapid progress
has been made in the establishment
Of educational, penal and eleemosy-
nary institutions. Taking the excel
lent public school system Of okla
homa Territory as a foundation the
new state has built three state nor
NAL schools. six secondary schools Of
agriculture, a university preparatory
school, schools for blind, incorrigible,
deaf and orphan children and homes
for the feeble minded and for eX-
confederate soldiers, A modern pen
itcntary. costing more than $250,OOO,
and a state reformatory costing $50,-
600 are now nearing completion, and
two hospitals for the insane have
been established. A complete sys-
tenn Of public schools has been es-
tablished on the east side Of tho state
where practically none except Indian
schools existed in territory days.
Improvements are General.
All the larger cities Of the state and
some of the smaller ones have built
miles of paved streets and sewerage
systems and practically every city and
town in the state of over 1000 in
habitants has voted bonds for schools
and municipal improvements.
Politically the state has been Demo
cratic from the beginning, but the
Democratic maiorities have not been
large enough to put It in the category
Of the solid South. Much experN
mental legislation has been adopted
and many Of the laws falliag under
this class have been tied up in the
courts. Some of these laws, how
ever. have been upheld by the courts
and are in successful operation.
The turbulent political history OF
the state is best shown by the fact
that during the three years Of its ca
reor as a state three sessions of the

ARE PAYING
THEIR CITY TAXES
COLLECTING COMMENCED SEPT.
1, AND LARGE AMOUNT is
PAID ALREADY.

The work of collecting the city tax
is progressing at quite satisfactory
rate, and Recorder E. E. Erwin, who
has charge of this department of the
city's business has already collected
about 25 per cent of the tax. He be-
gan the first of this month, and this
is but the twenty-third. After the.
first of October costs are added, but
taxes may still be paid until the first
of December when the amount remain
ing unpaid will be placed in the hands
Of collection officer. 1t is thought,
however, that this sum will not be
very large, and that Mr.. Erwin will
collect about 80 per cent of the total
amount of taxes
The city tax amounts to about $780,
100. The collection officer is author
zed to levy and sell in the instances
n which payment is not made to Linn
