A SAVING CAMPAIGN.

The greatest humanity saving cam
paign ever undertaken by the federal
government was begun March /. Ef-
forts are being made to rig the coun-
try Of the drug habit. We ara in
clined to loathe the man who uses
a drug to excess. we are inclined TO
criticise him severely, in many IN
stances our sympathies are withheld
The habitual user of a drug is de-
serving of sympathy, he is entitled
10 help. Many men and women suf-
fer until life has no charm. They
are willing to resort to anything TO
silence the senses, and the drug
habit is formed by persons who suf-
fer this way. The suffering may be
physical or it may be mental. II is
not for others to judge, it is for 9TH
ers to sympathize and to help.
There will be few druggists, and
there will be few physicians who
will stand in the way of law enforce
ment Some OF these people will get
in the way for the purpose OF max
ing money. There are few physis-
fans who have not made success out
OF their practice-these may be
tempted to so wrong for the money.

THE SINGLE TAX

A one-cylinder proposition, with tax
lodging motor, and vacant lands and
lots for steering gear.
Taking tax from personal property,
and charging land with the cost OF
government, fixes a barrier between
home seekers and the land.
The soil is the original manufac
turing plant; its elements, and all
and sunshine combining and produc-
ing the raw materials for mans weL
fare.
Tenant farmers who will establish
homes, should be exempted from land
taxes for a period of ten years, with
in which time, homes could be paid
for and a hitherto tenant populion
could become thrifty home owners,
Taxing homes of producers of real
wealth and letting the personal prop
erty of non-producers go free, can not
promote prosperity, and would pre-
vent sales of lands and cause discon-
tent.
Society and its institutions are sus-
,ained and nourshed from the farm
earth burdened with the necessity of
producing for mans material needs,
and should not be solely burdened
With the duty of paying taxes,
The vacant land and vacant lot ar
gument is a delusion and can be cured
~ ownership. paying taxes and com
pounding interest for period of
jears. The Five Million Dollar sale
If the Astor property, has no merit
is a single tax argument. Doubtless,
that vacancy had existed for gen.
aration. Compound interest on the in
yestment and taxes for a generation
1t six per cent, and present prices
raight look like thirty cents"
I, Most owners of vacancies can not
ell at price that would balance the
account.
The principle and application of the
Single tax" Is the survival of the
iittest"
The spring time has come, and let
us turn our thoughts from the spectre
of taxes, to good farming, good roads
and good works.

But In the majority of the cases o.
violation OF the drug act that viola
ton will be prompted by sympathy
for sufferers who will beg, and whn
will make any sacrifice for the drug
The state government can render ell
fcient service by cancelling the licen
ses of physicians who are too free
with drug prescriptions. and tins
ought 10 be done. The country ca
be made free from these drugs. The
time required TO oust them Will de-
pend upon the cooperation given
to the law by physicians and drug
gists.
What is being done now with
drugs will some OF these days be
undertaken with reference to whis-
key. The example set by some OF
the countries now at war will hasten
the work in this country. The liquor
habit will be much harder to handle
and may never be entirely ousted, for
the reason that alcohol is so easily
made, but much of it can be rem
edied. and the work is in harmony
with advanced ideas OF government,
and will be undertaken before many
decades have passed.

few town boomers in the locality OF
lingling relative to the formation OF
/ new county, with Ringing as the
county seat: and which noise seems
% have unduly alarmed some OF Ard
nore's citizens, permit me to call your
attention to some of the provisions of
he constitution of Oklahoma, which
will prohibit the formation of any new
county. wherein Ringling would be
he county seat, for at least ten
years.
First. before any new county can be
organized, it must embrace a taxable
area of 400 square miles.
Second it must contain population
of $1,000 people.
Third, the county boundary must
not be closer than ten miles to the
county seat.
Now, if a new county be organiz-
ed AS proposed by the people OF Ring
uDGs II W III nave w pC thi htu out
of the counties of Carter, Jefferson
and Stephens.
Carter county now has a taxable
area of 250,S05 acres, little more
than 5000 acres less than she is en-
titled to under the constitution.
Stephens county is about the same
size as Carter county, and while | am
not informed as to the present taxa
BILE area, am morally certain, it is
smaller than Carter county.
Jefferson county is smaller than
either Carter or Stephens, and no
doubt lacks several thousand acres of
having the taxable area which she is
entitled to before she could cede an
acre to the proposed new county.
1t has been urged that the western
part of Love county, around Orr
would vote solidly to be annexed to
the new county, but in this connec-
ton they may be reminded that Love
county, if it were all taxable, would
not have more than its constitutional
requirement as "A county, and can not,
therefore, ever contribute to the for
nation of new county.
Since it requires little more than
eleven townships to constitute 400
square miles, which is the required
amount for new county: and since
only about one-half of the lands of
the counties in question are taxable, !
then, it would take about - townships
to organize a new county under pres
ent conditions.
Rearing these facts in mind, a mo-
ment's glance at the state map will
convince you that it will be long |
time before the people of Ringing can
hope for county seat. 1t will not be
until all the lands in these counties |
are made taxable or until the present |
constitution is changed | say, let |
the constitution remain as 1t is.

two principles in his economy pro-

to make no appropriation for any in

REPLY TO MR.. WoRLEY
Ardmore, March %.
EDITOR ARDMORElTE:

Ell Oh ahDhOIEl L ~
Mr.. Worley seems to be somewhat
.peeved at the socialist local at Ard
more in not indorsing capitalistic
scheme to retard the socialist move
ment. Mr.. Worley doesn't seem to
catch the Davis scheme. AS land
less man it would not do me any
good to raise J. S. Mullen's taxes; he
would in return raise my rent and
who then pays the bill? Mr. Worley
ought to be familiar with the social
list position on land as | have sat in
the meetings with him. The socialist
position on land is use and occupa-
ton of same. Now, if you force a
man to improve land, it will only add
value to the land and it will still go
higher, getting still farther away
from the landless man. Now, if you
force a man to use his land himself,
what he can't use, to sell or get rid
of. then you can see how landless
man would come in. Senator Davis
say she has been committed to single
tax for twenty-five years. The Okla
homan makes a similar confession;
why didn't they put these ideas to the
front before the socialist had in a
manner, the state captured. II is to
deceive the working class, and it
seems that the Ardmore bunch was
not deceived. Go on, Ardmore local
keep your banner unfurled and un-
tarnished, We bid you God speed
Il won't be long if we only sit steady
in the boat.
