(From the Daily Oklahoman. Au-
gust q. 1920:
"Nearly two hundred persons in
Oklahoma City have paid tax to the
federal government SO that the federal
officers will not disturb these two hun

then, why haven't the enforcement of

are and why haven't they taken ac-

How long will present conditions con-

don't want to antagonize the boot
leggers, but are the people satisfied
to have public officials enforce a few
laws and neglect others. Ask your
self II you are proud Of the officials
who have sworn to enforce the law,
yet permit three times as many sa-
