The handiwork Of Durant's regen-
Grated city council 10 already seen in
the reduction of the city tax levy as
compared with the levy last year. and
the way in which that body is setting
out 70 lop off useless expense and
cut the necessary expense to the min
imum, is indication that the levy will
go lower next year. For years Du-
rants careless and inefficient Off
cials sQuandered right and left. while
the people cussed and kicked but
paid the bill and said nothing. Last
year these people woke up and put
some new life at the helm of affairs,
an dthe awakening has only begun.
Durant wants better government,
more efficient service, and reason
able tax rate. and her people have
set out to get what they want.

1t is good indeed to see a candidate
for a Democratic nomination, who
was overwhelmingly defeated, line
up strongly for the nominee and re-
quest his friends to support that
nominee. That is what Bob Kidd,
editor of the Poteau News, and as
pirant for the Congressional nomi-
nation from this district. has done.
Immediately after the primary, when
Kidd saw his defeat. he came out
with a strong editorial urging his
friends to give their solid support to
Charley Carter. We're proud Of
Kidd. even though we opposed his
nomination.

II is the Democratic voters who are
most interested in the elimination of
the negro from politics in Oklahoma
and the imposition of a literacy tes'
as a voting qualification. yet these
same interested Democrats in Bryan
County aided the Republicans and
Socialists in the primary to defeat
the literacy test, which lost in this
county two to one. Whether the
countless Democrats who by their
vote sanctioned negro voting, did so
with full knowledge of their act.
will not be known. 1t is sufficient
to remark, however, that there are
doubtless hundreds who voted on
this and other important questions
without taking the trouble TO inform
themselves for what they were vot-
ing in the recent election.

Democratic nomination for county
office in Bryan County has always
mean election, and hardly ever have
other parties had tickets in the field.
This condition has killed all Demo-
cratic interest in the general election
and light votes have been polled each
November. This year. different
condition exists, for the Republicans
and Socialists each have county tick
cts in the field and are making siren
nous efforts to win an office or two.
Continued indifference on the part
of the rank and file of the Demo
Gratis spells only defeat. 1t is up to
the county organization and the nom
inees to get busy in behalf of the
ticket.

Campbell Russell has secured the
tion Commissioner. long term, which
practically assures his election to this
very important office. Many people,
including the News, have believed
Russell to be dangerously radical in
his policies, and he has advocated
several constitutional changes that
are impractical. without any doubt
1t is to be hoped that those who have
opposed him will suffer disap-
pointment, and that he will develop
into a great arbiter of differences be-
tween the people and the corporat-
ions. the prime function of member
of that important tribunal.
