Nary, an older sister, had spent the
morning shopping in town. Among her
purchases was a square of dark red
velvet which she intended to use as a
background for beauAiful little statue
Of Venus de. Milo, which had recently
been presented to her. Just as she
had temporarily fastened the velvet on
the wall back of the Venus, her small

Building for Archives.

In other countries, notably Great
britain and France, the national
u chives are most carefully kept. But
we need not go abroad for inspira-
Gon as to the proper manner OF han
ding documents. The thousands VINO
daily frequent the numerous public
libraries throughout the United States
must realize the Importance OF hav.
ing accurate and authentic informa-
tion ION tap" All of them must at
some time or other have studied the
aistory of their country, which OF
necessity is based largely upon ma
,ional documents. This demand
therefore, for the construction of a
national archiye building is neither
more nor less than a plea for the
preservation of American history.

retary of state, part to the state treas
urer and the remainder to be placed
lin some fund to be spent for the bene-
fit of the public instead of permitting
a single officer to receive a salary
(which is sufficient to pay about four
of the principal officials of the state.
( While Oklahoma county has the
most formidable salary list of any coun
ty of the state, there are other coun-
ties which are more eager for re-
duction of salaries than Oklahoma
1 county In our own county we have
been extremely liberal with our Off
cials and are paying them salaries that
many taxpayers consider as burdens.
But the counties outside of Okla
homa county will send delegates to
the statewide convention today deter
mined TO originate measures which
VIII abolish some of the county offices,
consolidate still others and reduce the
salaries to a level consistent with the
incomes of private individuals.
Oklahoma county is paying a salary
of $4,000 to each of the following Off
cials; treasurer register of deeds, at
torney, clerk of the district court,
clerk of the superior court, sheriff and
county clerk,
The taxpayers have about made up
their minds that the remedy for such
an expense lays in establishing the
commission form of government, abol-
ishing all or nearly all of the county
Offices and employing deputies to per-
form the work justas they do now,
with the exception of few officials
who have a realization that public
officials are really servants of the
public.
From advance information received
ii is learned that many of the dele
gates who will be here today to par
ticipate in the deliberations of the
statewide tax meeting will be unalter
ably in favor of the commission form
of government for counties. The move
ment is in the interest of economy
and is designed to save the taxpayers
of the state more than S2,000,000 in
the next two years, the period for
which the next set of officers will be
chosen.
Oklahoma has grown fast; taxes
have piled up rapidly simply for the
reason that there were so many things
to buy. But now that we know where
to make the saving, 1t will be well to
adjust the expenditures to conform to
a lower basis of receipts which the
taxpayers demand Oklahoman.

THE TAXPAYERS STATE MEETING

THE TAXPAYERS STATE MEETING
Today will make history for the tax
payers of the state. Delegates are in
Oklahoma City from many counties
and methods of taxation will be de-
v'sed which will save much money to
the people Of this state who contribute
funds for public purposes.
some of the delegates from other
counties have prepared bills for the re-
.duction of state and county taxes.
these bills will be considered at the
convention and it is quite probable
fhat the meritorious ones win be in
itiated to become a part of the consti-
tuition of the state.
Much interest has developed in the
matter of public salaries. Some of
the visiting delegates were astounded
when told that one public officer OF
Oklahoma had an income of more than
$4,000 per annum. They believe that
such an income should be distributed
among several officers It has been
suggested that that princely salary be
divided and that part of it shall be
paid to the governor. part to the sec
