erwise they are fine fellows. Mr.. An
1erson said he believed the Lord was
still with Oklahoma as evidenced in

to this are being held, that the peo-
pie had expressed themselves in favor
of change and he believed it would
result in less waste and in a better
public service. Mr.. Anderson's talk

sistent worker and expressed appre-
citation for the energy and intelli-

to lay so much of the war burden on
the people at once, that the tax laws

the bulk of the tax burden TO be
placed upon the shoulders of only 10
per cent OF the people. He expressed

order of Americanism under the next
