The following editorial from Farm
and Ranch we believe TO be lwe1
worth reproduction in these columns:
The financial condition of the
has not been better at this
season of the year in the history OF
the country. The war in Europe, as
disastrous as il has been to the be-
ligerants. seems to have driven us to
safe farming and more prosperous
commercial activity as a result. THE
distress that followed the beginning
of the war has gradually but surely
been changed till now business is
active, with better prospects ahead.
1t takes calamities sometimes to
arouse people. In this case it took
the loss of millions on cotton anC
considerable distress among those de.
pendent upon the 1914 crop. The
lesson will not be soon forgotten.
The awakening to the necessity for
producing most of the living at home
doubtless will be far-reaching. Those
who prosper because of their perse-
verance and diligence will have rich
experience that should fortify them
against future difficulties.
1t is our opportunity to get closer
together in marketing and eliminate
some of the waste we maintain. The
products should be conserved and
used to build up our institutions and
make home life better here in the
Southwest"
We of Bryan County, to bring ii
closer home, have learned much from
conditions which we had to face as a
result of the war The first thing to
happen was the reduction of the price
of cotton to a point where it did not
bring enough to pay the cost of rails
ing it, At the same time the wheat
farmers were growing rich in a seas
on from abnormal prices paid them
for their product, The idea is that in
time of stress the world wants food
products first and raw material for
manufacturers next The idea then
dawned upon some of us that if we
of Southeastern Oklahoma would di.
versify our farming system enough

OF il and finally stamp Il out.
policy OF least outlay" on our police
department will in the end prove
most expensive.
When we realize that the boys and
girls now filling our public schools
are the men and women OF few
short years hence, and that as their
characters are nodded now, so will
our citizenship be in the years to
come. / thihk we will all agree that
II is the best economy to provide for
these children now. the best possible
instruction, the clesnest surround
ings and the most manly and woman
ly examples of personal conduct, that
the maximum tax levy is able to pro-
cure. Criminologists all agree that
education and education only will
diminish crime. and physicians agree
that only thru education can the
public health be improved. The ig-
norant and neglected child of today
and not the well trained one. is the
criminal and hence the public charge
of tomorrow.
In Europe the base fire insurance
rate is but fraction OF the average
rate in the United States. The
reason for this is that fires are less
frequent. for the reason that a fire
from a preventable cause makes the
person on whose premises the fire oc-
CURED liable to imprisonment and
fine. Many needless and preventa
BILE fires, coupled with an inadequate
fire fighting system, push the rates
up. and the worse the condition be-
Ourant's base rate is too high, but
through no fault of the insurance
companies The rates are high in
proportion to the risks. and many
risks are great Then again, our
fire department is antiQuated and in
such state of wear that most cit
les, of half this size would give it
the laugh. Don't blame the fire boys
if they fail to give city service with
sticks" equipment. II our depart
ment had modern equipment, some
more hose, and one or two more reg
ular paid men, it would help to lower
our rate. A reduction of 25 cents
per hundred in our insurance rate
would save to the property owners
of the city in one year more than
the entire cost of refurnishing our
fire department with modern equip
ment and men. We appreciate the
fact that Durant has had eight years
of inefficient management in it's mu-
nicipal affairs, but a change for the
better has been made and improve
ments are already seen. We also ap-
preciate the fact that a municipality
cannot spend money beyond the esti-
mate, and that past extravaganza and
lcarelessness has placed a heavy bur-
den upon the city, but few years of
good management will bring us out,
and then we can buy. perhaps the
things we cannot buy now, that will
better safeguard life and property
and better train our boys and girls.
