TO COOPERATE
WITH FARMERS
And Movement BY Business Men to
Cooperate With the Farmers
is Growing.

Muskogee, Okla, June 21. - The
movement started in Muskogee by the
bankers to obtain greater cooperation
with the farmers in the introduction of
modern methods of agriculture is
spreading. Meetings similar to the
one held here Tuesday afternoon will
be held at Durant July and at vinita
July 2.
According to ], w. Holloway, indus
trial commissioner for the M. K. & T.
railway, farmers throughout the state
are acting on the suggestion made by
S M. Jordon of Sedalia, Mo-, to break
up the crusts being formed on the
ground and thereby prevent consider
able moisture from leaving the ground.
Mr.. Holloway returned yesterday from
Durant where he arranged for the meet
ing July when the same speakers,
excepting Mr.. Jordan, would address
the busin ass men and others inter-
ested in the movement.

TAX REFORM
THE SLOGAN

Inc effect OF high taxes and extraya.
CANT administration of Oklahoma af.
fairs was reflected in the action of the
Citizens Protective League which held
its first state meeting at Oklahoma
City, Wednesday and Thursday. From
among the many suggestions looking
toward relief the league decided to in
ltlate two bills that will be submitted
to the people as early as possible and
also an amendment to the constitution.
The first bill aims to reduce the max
lmum amount of taxes that may be
levied for all purposes to twelve mills
except for municipal purposes and the
payment of interest on bonded indebs-
edness and to establish sinking fund
The bill, however, provides that in
school, districts or counties where the
levy is insufficient to raise the required
amount of money that an additional
levy may be made by majority vote
of the taxpayers of that district or
county.
To reduce the expenses, that they
may be met by the reduced levy, it is
proposed to do away with the town
ship organizations, which, as at pres
ent conducted, cost many hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually, also to
discontinue the superior court. con-
solldate some of the county offices, re-
qulre officers to personally perform the
duties of their office, and reduce the
number of superfluous deputies. A com
mission form of government is propos-
ed for the counties. The representa-
tive, county Judge and three commits
sioners will be elected as at present.
Fhe commissioners to have the appoint.
nent of all other officers in the county
and all deputies. The salaries of the |
'fficers will be fixed by the statutes
While those of the deputies will be FIX |
ID by the commissioners but can not |
'e more than statutory limitations as |
ixed by the bill. All officers and depu. |
les can be removed at will by the COM
nissioners and the commissioners can
'e recalled by the people for cause up-
N the usual procedure in recall. 1t is
these two features will save
rom thirty-iye to fifty per cent of the
ost of local government.
The constitutional amendment pro-
ides for the consolidation of some OF
ne state offices, the elimination of
ONE that have been proven more ex
ensive than needful, and the reduc-
on in number of the great number of Il
equities and assistants now on the
ay roll. The saving in the state ad-
is estimated at a million
dollars annually.
The full text of the bills and pro !,
osed constitutional amendment will

Oklahoma School For the Blind.

The origin of the institution which
has come to be known as the Okla
homa School for the Blind is to be
associated with the name Of Miss Lura
A. Rowland. now Mrs. Lura A. Lowrey.
A brief sketch of the schools history
will bear out this statement and may
be otherwise of interest to the people
Of the state.
Miss Lura A. Rowland, a graduate
of the Arkansas School for the Blind
undertook in the year 1897 the estab-
lishment of a school for the blind in
the Indian Territory. The school was
organized, having a board of direc-
tors, and was known as the Interna-
tional School for the Blind Miss
Rowland Travelled extensively in the
Territory and by various means Sc
cured funds with which to equip
building for formal opening. The
school was formally opened at Fort
