Supt. ]. 8. Alan and Mr.. A. w. Dorr,
head of the Science department in
the High school, attended meeting
of the Central Ohio Schoolmasters'
Club at Columbus, Friday evening.
Two college teachers and two public
school men debated the question of a
more liberal policy on the part of COL
leges in accepting credits from High
Schools. The National Education AS
sociation at it's recent meeting recon-
mended that colleges accept as regu-
lar freshmen all students who have
spent four years in a high school and
been graduated, without considering
the subjects studied. This recommen-
dation was the basis OF the arguments.

school will close the last of April this
year on account of a shortage of funds
Mt. Vernon is fortunate in having
money left from last year for it is
only on that account that the schools
will be able to run throughout the
year as planned. This coming year it
will probably be necessary to reduce
the number of teachers, and the run

there seems no help in sight for some
time to come. The allowance for

Notice to Taxpayers.

# is hereby ordered by the Board
of Equalization of Carter County
State of Oklahoma, in session:
That all farming lands in said Coun-
ty be reduced ten per cent from the
value that is extended on the assess
ment rolls by the Assessor.
That upon thorough investigation
by the Board of Equalization and
County Assessor we find that the AS
SCISSORS rolls are practically equalized
as near as could be done without go
ing upon each and every small tract
of land in the County. We also find
that the people throughout the County
are clamoring for lower valuations,
blanket reduction.
House Bill Number log of Session
Laws of 1911, Section IA, provides:
That the County Commissioners may
hear and determine allegations of er-
roneous assessments or mistakes or
differences either in the description
or value of land or other property
at any session of said Board before
the taxes shall have been paid, on

who shall by the proper affidavits
show good cause for not having at
tended the meeting of the County
Boald of Equal ljzation. Under this
law the Board of County Commits
sioners by proper affidavits of as
many as three reputable persons,
filed with the County Clerk any time
before January 1st, 1913, they shall
have hearing, and if shown that the
valuation is excessive and prohibitory
to the business and welfare of the
person, that it shall be granted, but
no claim will be heard or allowed
with less than three affidavits prop
erly filed with the County Clerk and
recommended by the County Assessor.
We further find that the average
valuation OF all the lands that are
taxable in Carter county IS S14.05 per
acre. That the valuation after the state
raise in 1911 was 1855.
We also find that the Supreme
reduced the taxable property prac-
ticaliy one-half in Carter County. We
fully realize that the State Board of
Equalization by the Supreme Court
decision this year has authority to
raise AL classes of property by the
blanket raise We have been con-
fronted with the State Board telling
us that we must have the valuation

ment OF condition that they recognize
as one of menacing proportions. II IS
based on cold facts which show that this
country is rapidly being outdstanced in
agricultural production by the supposedly
cffele nations OF the older continent
Not, only is it true that the farm output
Of the United States has failed to keep
pace with the growth in population, but
it is equally the case also that as COM
pared with the countries of Europe, we
are losing ground steadily as an agricul-
tu-al nation. This is the situation that

are still in vogue in over ninety-tive pei
cent. of the country devoted to those
industries" says DR.. Wiley in his i'm
peachment OF our lax farming methods
"The growing Of these crops until withlT
few years could not have been ranked
as agriculture but should have beer
described as highway robbery OF tht
soil As result the average productlor
per acre Of these crops has fallen to
minimum.
