What Increases Taxes?

Some people argue that it
takes more taxes to enforce pro-
hibi.ion laws than it does in
states that do not have prohibi-
ton.
In preparing for the debate
at Lawton Friday night one of
the Elgin speakers secured a
tabulated report of lob pages
from the state penitentiary at
Joliet, ILL.,. which gives some
conclusive figures.
Out of a total Of 1871 persons
in the penitentary only 225 of
them had not used liquor,
while ll46 Of them had used
liquor. And of the total of 1871
persons, $50 Of them had been
sent from Cook county contain
ing Chicago, which is one Of the
worst Incorporate cities in the
Uuited States.
All know that high taxes are
caused largely by court costs and
a good part Of the court costs
come from the criminal docket.
And the greatect per cent of the
criminal docket is caused by the
use of liquor.

ANERTIsiaa RATEs:
Divorce Mill.

Statlsticians are constantly
holding up % our gaze the ap-
palling divorce rate Of this coun-
try. Nowadays one msrrige in
the average SIX is dissolved by
the courts. Oklahoma is doing
all in its power % keep the bat
ting average high and 20 divorce
mills have the justification OF
the statutes 70 snow for de-
fense.
rhOse who have studied the
divorce problem declare that the
remedy lies in en2cting more
rigid laws 10 govern the grant
ing of DEGREES. The proper
place 10 begin seems in an a.
nendment requiring both plain
tiff and defendant 70 De in court
when the action is tried While
this provision might fall far
short of proving q panacea for
divorce, it would az least dimin-
ish the number that are granted
or fiimsy and onesided evidence.
Daily Oklahoman.
There is a great deal of truth
in the Oklanoman's statements
and if our divorce laws were as
stringent as they should be. a
person contemplating matrimony
would make a more thorough in
vestigation Of the character OF
the person who is about to be-
come his or her life partner.
Matrimony is entered blindiy
with little thought of whether
the contracting parties will make
congenial life companions. OF
course some times people are
badly deceived and we do not
mean at ali to say there are
no meritorious divorces grant.
ed. but the sIipsaoG m ath,d OF
granting divorces on every pre-.
text is what causes thousands
upon thousands to enter matri-
mony without forethought of the
results.

MAY LOSE JOB FOR
 FARMING oUT' WORK.

Because the firm farms out it's print ing to a jobber in Holyoke, Mass, R. M Houston & Son, although the lowest bidder for the printing of the municipal register, may not get the contract. The firm bid $1.13 1-2 per page for the printing and it's bid was lowest.
 Clerk Catlin of the Board of Con tract and Supply said today there was objection to sending out of the city the original documents which go into the city register and for this reason he thought the board would not favor the Houston company
 :. The next lowest bidder for the print ing was the Inter-Type Composition Co.,, who will probably get the con- tract.
 R. M. Houston & Co. made a lump bid of S2o2.04 for binding the 700 copies of the register. This was the lowest and the firm will probably get the con- tract to do the binding.
