Unit System IndorScd.
lie spoke word in behalf Of the
Tulsa unit system. the one liG dis
tinctiye thing about Tulsa" lie had
become a convert to It and there was
so much TO saw for II and so littlc that
could be said against IL that every
body should be for H.
This defense of the unit system
brought applause. and later on Doctor
Winship IN his speech declared the
unit system was the biggest thing IN
Oklahoma"
81 had TO smile when you Young
editorial representative mentioned the
"a - D. 4.
your unit system." said Doctor Win
ship. Il wou,d not have believed thai.
anybody I'm oklahoma was that far
hack IN the worlds progress. !
wouldn't have been surprised at oh
lection TO IL in New England. for
New England still cllngs 10 tradition.
The unit system Is the biggest thinG
you've got in Oklahoma-its bigger
than this house-it's a testimonial OF
your progress"
Doctor Winship spoke Of the won
dcrful progress that has been made
in the United States in the last three
years industrially. educationally, fl
nancially. and In every line.
"A few years ago we were
when II was announced that
the banks OF New York city had $685.
000.00 In gold in their vaults. We
didn't hardly understand that there
was that much gold in the world. Last
July we were told that there were
$3.50, 100000 in gold in New York
and hardly a line was. printed about
it," He mentioned the federal farm
loan system and other great achieve
ments. I'VE are living in an age OF
progress such as none OF us appre-
ciate." he said.
Progress is always in motion; II
never gets anywhere, but IL is always
moving"
Booster for Oklahoma.
Doctor Winship then told OF how he
had boosted" Oklahoma since his
first visit here.
Three years ago ] told a banker
friend Of mine out in San Francisco
that If were interested in finance
would keep my eye on Oklahoma" I"
said he. The banker laughed at me.
but If / could see him now and tell
him that oklahoma last year paid
more personal income tax than the
whole state of California he would
probably listen to me. / was speaking
in Minneapolis sometime ago and
when ! told them about Oklahoma,
and that Oklahoma paid four times as
much income tax as the state of Indi-
ane and four times as much as their
own state paid, it made them bat their
eyes.
II told them Oklahoma paid more
income tax than the states of North
and South Carolina, Georgia. Florida,
Tennessee and Virginia combined
that Oklahoma paid more income tax
than the states of Kansas. Nebraska
and both the DakCtas and the great
state of Texas combined. Then they
pricked up their ears and listened
to me.
There are only six states in the
Union in a class with Oklahoma.
I'VE must keep our eyes open in
order to see and keep up with the
progress that is going on around us
and then we can't do IL. The world is
moving at tremendous pace. 1t is
going so fast that we don't appreciate
how fast 1t is going We have to &c
like sin TO stand still"
Chicago Tagging In Schools.
Doctor Winship spoke OF being in
Chicago sometime ago and the news
papers We're warning the people that
the new $50. 1000, 900 depot must be
placed "in the exact spot" and warn
ing the city officials that they should
remember that they were building a
railway station for their grandchil-
dren. And on the same page they were
warning the board OF education that
II must inaugurate no new novelties
in the public school system.
IT'S really amazing how many peo.
pie worship their grandfathers when
I II comes 10 the education OF their
