mental regime for having caused bur-
densome taxes, we're adopted at a
meeting OF 400 Custer county farmers
held here to discuss the tax proposition.
A majority OF those present declared
that they had not raised enough on
their farms the past season to pay the
1911 taxes. which they asserted are
nearly double what they should he.
The state board Of equalization was
denounced in the resolutions for doub-
ling the assessment on farms in Custer
county. Former Governor Charles N g.
Haskell and the members of the first
state legislature were denounced for
creating so many normal schools and
state institutions.
The resolutions favor the abolition
of the Offices of all game -wardens,
bed tick inspectors, bull-tick inspect
ors and thousands of other parasites
upon the tax payers" They call for
the reduction of salaries of state Off
cials by half. and state that public
men should work from a. m. to 8 p. m.
and have fewer deputies and assistants.
They call for the abolition of the coun-
ty excise law. Governor Cruce is en-
torsed for refusing to call special
session OF the legislature, but half of
the members of that body are denounc-
cd aa false IN their trust
The resolutions also call for the abol-
tion of che superior court at Clinton.
1t is asserted that the court tries no
cases which could not be tried in the
county or district court and that the
tax payers would be saved $4,000 an
nually IL the office was abolished
Most Of those present were demo-
Gratis including the officers.-Oklaho-
man.

House,"

Still the fight ON high taxes goes on
all over Oklahoma by Republican and
Democrat alike. Surely the "widely
circulated weakly pamphlet" published
by L. b. Tooker has failed to reach II
whole lot of Oklahoma farmers and
consequently they don't know taxes are
not too high, in fact, according I o
Brother Tooker, are really too low con-
sidering the immense real value of our
property Which, after being raised 3l5
per cent in some instances. by the State
Board of Equalization, is still not list
ed at its real cash valuation.

payers think about it:

great claims as belonging 10 the blue.
blood arif tocracy but we have always
endeavored TO use common horse sense
We shall have to refer our friends to
Mr. Tooker for genuine culture and
modesty as the following incident por-
trays Upon certain occasion while
out buggy riding with a young lady
friend part OF the harness came un-
fastened and "the modest Mr. Tookerv
said. az shah have to get out and fast
en- the waist-band OF the harness. !"
Now IL that had been the unsophisti-
Gated editor of the HERALD we'd have
blurted right out, "There, that belly

But enough OF this slnsh, "Taxes" is
the question. There's not one tavpay.
or in n hundred but who registers a
kick at the outlandish raise by the
State Board of Equalization. Property,
10! the most part. was given in at the
s"tual cash valuation and the raise by
the State Board does not affect only
the man who gave in his property be-
low pa nut the man, as well, who gave
il in for every dollar it was worth.
Tooker cites an automobile as given in
at $4,000 and raised TO $i09 90 by the
State Board. This was possibly an old
delapidated machine honestly worth
only sl90 90 but what OF the man who
had an automobile which sells brand
new for $4,000 and which he gave IN
for $4,000 because it had been greatly
damaged by use and was actually only
worth $3.50 90 and this machine was
raised TO $4,000. Likewise the man
who gave III his plano for $4,000 and
had I. raised to s3l50o The piano
cost brand new $3.50 90 and had been in
use ten or twelve years.
Perhaps the raise Of 3l5 per cent on
household goods is all fair and right
but how does the man feel about it who
gave his household goods in at $500 90,
all they were actually worth, and had
them raised to $2075.00? The same way
with horses, cows, etc. It's not the
FEW who gave in their property way
below its cash value, but the MANY
who gave in their property at its actual
cash value, that were hurt by the tre-
mendous raise.
The State Boards raise did not APP
ply only to the property assessed too
low but applied to ALL and was rank
injustice.
We still contend that the great ma
jority of the taxpayers of Beaver coun-
ty are honest men and gave in their
property at its actual cash valuation
and we have righteous cause for indig-
nation and we are Joined in this belief
by the entire citizenship to the county
Mr. Tcoker being in the hopeless mi
nority.

Tooker Still Insists Taxes ere
Not Too High.


We reproduce, in part, herewith an
article published in last weeks pam
phlet, OF which l.. b. Tooker wields the
mighty pen, in which he makes des-
perate effort to say something but as
usual, fails. Tooker can't seem to get
away from the idea that taxes are not
too high in Beaver county and 0klaho-
ma in general.
The article follows
Last weeks issue OF the Beaver
Herald said that L. b. Tooker favored
high taxes. The Beaver Herald is In
error in as much as l.. b Toohtr does
not favor one cent higher taxes than is
necessary 90 run the expenses Of our
government. She says that in thous-
aud years he H. b. Tooker) may learn
something about the newspaper busi-
ness and insinuates Furthermore that
he wants high taxes because he has
little or no taxes TO pay and does not
care how high or low they t.2p.en to
be.
As TO the age proposition we presume
she means TO imply that after he o..
Il. Tooker) has attained the ripe and
mature old age OF 81 summers, he will
then be qualified to run a newspaper"
Now, we'll have to spank that boy
yet for giving our age away in such
glaring figures, He's a good guesser
all right but how in the world did that
get in the box. II it hadn't been
for that blunder he'd had our age in
exact figures.
Nay, nay, sonny, we never meant TO
imply any such thing. We said "a
thousand years." but perhaps we'd
better made it longer considering the
density OF the said L. b.
Again he says:
"In as much as the editor cf the Her
aid invariably allows her personal in
terests to stand paramount to all others
IL is easy to see why she makes such an
everlasting howl at having to seperate
herself from the almighty dollar"
cho pays bhAtu
she so devoutly worships."
1t occurs to us tina. possibly L. B.
Tooker regards somewhat the "filthy
lucre" himself else why does he so per-
sistently freeze onto the said "almigh-
ty dollar" and write checks in lieu
thereon drawing upon funds which he
doesn't happen TO have deposited in
the bank. We are glad that our own
personal interests are paramount" to
the extent that we are able to main
tain our credit and that our creditors
don't have to threaten suit in order to
collect just claims against us, as we
unfortunately had to do in order to
collect claim against Mr.. Tooker-the
gentleman who don't care at all for
the almighty dollar"
And now for the ENLIGHTMENT
OF the editor OF the Beaver Herald
Wonder what Tooker is going to do
to us now? Possibly he means ZEN
lightenment," although the two words
have an entirely differnt meaning ac-
cording to Webster. However, as will
be noted from Mr.. Tooker's writings
although he is editor OF an educational
journal and an ex-principal of high
school-it is evident he has very
slight acquaintance with the honorable
Mr.. Webster
To be able to say mean and cutting
things about our neighbors whether
they are true or not, is no sign Of good
breeding"
The insinuation is clear that your
humble servant is lacking IN good
breeding. Well, we never laid any
