High Taxes Will Force a
Change in Tulsa

The exorbitant tax expenditures in
Tulsa county under Democratic re-
gime, amounting to slO.76 per capita
per annum Is causing IA lot of people
to lose some sleep In trying to frame
up an alibi for the Democratic Office
seekers and perpetual officehoiders.
Taxpayers far and near are showing u
deep interest in the matter.
The assessed valuation of Tulsa
county Is about 82,OO0,000. A levy OF
~ mills for county government means
only the Insignificant sum of $29l.-
400. Then add to this some s25.00U
taken in by the registrar of deeds and
$4,000 to $4,000 earned by the
county treasurer--for remember that
every time you pay up the taxes on a
city lot or q ten-acre tract of land
that has been sold for tames, and
about half Of our realty has been sold
In this matter judging from the de-
linauent tax roll recently published,
you pay 81 to the county clerk ann
also 81 to the county treasurer as fees
and add to these amounts Tulsa
county's share OF the Campbell Rus

bile tax and all other revenues. In

and child for being governed by Dem

WHAT WONDERS HATH Col
WROUGHT.

AS and a dear old friend were whirl-
ed along to Decatur yesterday on the
trolley line from Atlanta to the former
place, carrying US in a brief space Of
time over the six miles to the cemtery
where we have loved ones buried, re-
called the zeal and enthusiasm Of Rev.
DR.. Alexander Means over the coming
wonders of electricity forty odd years
ago. We both agreed that we would be
SO glad If this wonderfully wise man
could now see the car we were in-the
smooth track over which we passed so
swiftly-the ease in management and the
wonderful cheapness in transportation.
I can recall the dear gentleman's face
as I saw It in my girlhood, and the glow
of ecstacy when told of Gods wonderful
agents in nature. He was long way
ahead of his time. That clear brain
and fine intellect could discover future
progress where all was dark and dumb
to the ignorant. I was present and lis
tened when the first telephone was set
up in Washington City connecting the
capitol building and the government
printing office. The idea of talking on
a wire was a nine days wonder. and now
far distant cities can talk to each other.
families can talk in utmost privacy and
comfort miles across the country, and
seven-tenths Of the business OF city life
IS conducted by telephones. Perhaps
Dr. Means does see and know all about
1t in that upper and better kingdom
Who will say he does not know what is
going on here below?
When we reach the land Of eternal
peace. and knowledge, how delightful 1t
will be to see and understand with the
clearness of heavenly vision and wisdom
all these wonders which God has
wrought!

GEORGE BEBAN AT THE LAMARA

George Beban, recognized as the greatest impers0nator of Italian and French character roles on the pres ent day stage. will be at the Lamara again today in the World Film Cor porations feature The Pawn of Fate" This picture reveals the inimitable Beban in d characterization even more delightful than that which won him many hundreds of thousands of ad mirers in An Alien"
 The Pawn of Fate" deals with the picturesque and pathetic character of a French peasant who aspires to be great painter. The plot revolves around the cruel hoax played upon the aspiring artist, by an unscrupu- lous Parisian. who works upon his victims ambition in order to ingra- , tiate himself with the peasants wife. [ The story builds from it's rustic set tings in Normandy to the heart of the gayest form of Parisian life. where Pierre. the deluded peasant painter, discovers the dastarly trick of his supposed friend, and brings the situ- ation to it's dramatic climax m a terrific hand-to- hand battle.

 facial expression for which he is SC justly famous and, from the moment
 of his first appearance on the screen
 he carries his spectators with him as
