0klahoma's Overhead Expense--Cost
:: Of Town and City Government ::
The Fourth Of Series by Eugene Gin in Iarows Weekly.

The fact that there Is no department
of state that carries any functions re-
lating to the government Of towns and
cities make this the most unsausfac-
tory article of the series The laws
of the state permit great latitude in
the government Of cities, and il ap-
pears safe to say that no two of them
are managed in exactly the same
manner There is very wide range
of cost rs reported In the various items
from different cities and there is posi-
lively no way Of gauging The scope of
work performed. The absence of a
uniform basis for even making finan-
clal reports much less i'm OrganiZat ton
make II almost impossible to analyZe
the cost of city government as whole
in the state.
The only source of Information COW.
erinR the entire state is to be found
In the state examiner and inspectors
office In the annual reports Of the
county clerks. The principal informa-
ton TO be gained from these reports is
the amount Of taxes levied by counties
Tor the support of town and city gov
erhment. These reports also show in
the majority of instances the amount
or revenues that town and city excise
boal DIS and commissioners have esti-
mated to be received from sources of
indirect taxation. According to these
reports the following covers the est-
mated expense Of these subdivisions
OF government in Oklahoma for this
fiscal year:

BY the time the bureaus rescuers

Of all the rescue work Of the bureau OF

to the management of the mine The
efforts of the state inspectors and thu

toward repairing the damage done by

mine to its normal condition. Brattices

TWO BOYS WITH A GREAT IDEA.
Canvassed the South With Moving
Pictures.

In the interesting people department
of the American Magazine appears an
article about Clyde l.. Davis and
Roger Eddy Treat, two young men
who were classmates at Harvard, and
who have conceived great idea
which Uncle Sam seized on and is put
ting into practical use. Davis Is a
born salesman and Treat is a moving
picture expert and enthusiast. The
scheme they hatched, and what is
being done with it, Is described I'm the
ticle:
During a summer vacation, when
Davis needed money and wanted to
combine pleasure with his profits. he
had engaged with a Boston litho-
graphing company to sell government
survey maps down In Maine. Now
Maine Is a hard territory for any sort
OF salesman to work in. But Davis
loves farmers and fishermen and
other ordinary folks. He invested in
secondhand bicycle, strapped a
sample case on his back, and pedaled
out to find customers. He knew how
to talk, and he knew how TO listen;
and i'm just one months time he had
got more orders out of those hard
fisted Down Casters than any other
salesman on the force had got out Of
even the most favorable territory.
When he sent his phenomenal orders
in to his firm, they refused at first to
extend him the necessary credit. So
Davis went back over his route and
gathered in. I'm hard cash, ninety eight
per cent Of his sales,
Those maps led TO the Great Idea.
They taught Davis that IL you want TO
sell anything, you must show 1t, and
not just talk about IT, so he deter
mined to sell to American farmers up
to-the- minute knowledge calculated
to benefit them and their farms.
There was a wealth of material in
books and on file In the department OF
agriculture and state experiment sta
tions on subjects such as rural coop
Grafton, selected seed corn, improved
clovers, better cotton how to combat
the boil weevil how to analyze soil,
improved sanitation, and the like
but the average farmer is not inter
ested I'm technical reports. Davis did
not feel a call TO preach better agTi-
culture, but he felt very emphatic
call to show It. And at this point
Roger Treat comes in.
Treat was an enthusiast on the
moving MIXTURES. Among other things.
he had visited every movie show -
Boston. and had compiled statistics OF
attendance In a careful Yankee way.

of which funds are badly needed.
pleted in a day, lawyers, doctors, bus
% mess and professional men from down
town working on the structure, crawl
ing aroung on the roof and rafters
like so many flies. And the women
of the community, fifty strong, do
mated, prepared and served dinner
and supper to the workmen under the
shelter Of an improvised canvas roof.
Services were held in the structure
the following Sabbath, and Rev. j. {.
Magee, its first pastor, Officiated, The
building was filled with curious spec
tators attracted by the uniqueness of
the building and by the residents Of
the neighborhood who were to make
it their permanent place of worship.
The church grew from the start and
the congregation of seven has doubled,
trebed and quadrupled until today
the Sunday school attendance exceeds
the three hundred mark, and the Sab
bath morning service has been at
tended by nearly four hundred people.
The church that was built in a
day" was outgrown in year but
finances kept the congregation from
branching out. They forced them
selves to be satisfied with their
eramped condition, until lean-to sheds
were built on to accommodate the
Sunday school children, who actually
stood up and lined the walls of the
structure, and until the congrega-
tions entirely exceeded the capacity
of the one-room house.
Then a movement was started to
create a fund with which to erect
plain but substantial edlfice, one that
would at least be adequate to accom-
modate the community for several
years to come. Plans were made for
a building, negotiations were made for
q site adjoining the frame structure,
discouraging campaign was made
for building fund and finally work
was started on the new church.
The old building was sold to make
il possible to buy material for the
new building, and finally the base
ment was completed and rooted over.
In this unfinished basement, with
rough walls, boarded.up windows and
a sawdust floor, the services have
been held during the past six months.
Much material is on the ground,
but there are claims against some of
it and unless money can be raised to
make these payments and hire suffi-
cient labor to place the materials in
the building, they will deteriorate in
value and usefulness
In order TO complete the rough
walls and roof of the building, a
finance campaign will be waged by
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1915-04-04

Davis wanted to help the rural sec
lions Treat had the thing to do it
with; and the two OF them met in the
Great Idea.
Davis and Treat went off to Wash
lnston and put their Great Idea up to
Uncle sam. lie, being q Canny iudi-
Nidual gave his verdict about as fol
lows. Your scheme sounds good,
boys, hut you've got to show me-"
And they did.
They plunged into the remote rural
districts of the south with such pic
lures as We're then availahlei and
showed. They exhibited i'm school
houses, churches, even in open fields.
'Thc response was really cNtraordi-
nary. Everywhere the boys went their
work attracted immediate attention
and enthusiasm. Letters concerning
1t came in to the department Of agri-
culture from all parts of the country,
and large developing plant had to
be installed I'm Washington to carry
on the work.
"Ot course the work has been a big
success. After il had passed it's eX-
perimental stages in the department of
agriculture, various other organi2a-
tions took it up. Mr Treat made for
the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission
lCIoSCoplt moving pictures OF the tuil
deVelopemnt OF the hookworm When
the great cooperative league Of six
teen Sand Hin towns was formed in
North Carolina, the officers of the or
ganlzation decided that Davis was the
man 20 make this movement go. and
brought him for the purpose. And
things are now moving in the Sand
Hills
"rhe boys have brought to their
work glowing enthusiasm, "A never
failing sense Of humor, fine physiques,
and love for anything which smacks
Of the soil. They are doing job
which is genuinely great They have
iEaugurated governmental service
which is destined tl expand ndch-
nitely and which viii mean millions
and millions Of dollars i'm increased
production, and countless human lives
made brighter as well as more er-
fcicnt."
