GRADY IN LINE FOR GOOD
ROADS?

question is: VIII Grady county

where the people are planning a

county, for about half Il million
Choctaw county, for $4,000, and
many others One factor that has
given an impetus to the voting Of

gradual spread of the knowledge

MORE MONEY FOR THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS

It isn't worth while TO argue
the question involved in the spe-
cial school election which is TO be
held on March rs. In common
with every Other ommwN tine
Chickasha scnool district is con
lronted with a conltiW which
must be met. More money must
be provided for the maintenance
of the schools if we are to have
schools
We take it that everybody will
agree that the teachers should be
paid more money, rheir present
salaries being utterly inadequate
TO cope with the cost OF living and
entirely out of line with the com
pensation paid to othcr classes of
workers. But, even if one were
not disposed to make this conces-
sion, the argument for an addiyion-
al tax levy would be just as
strong.
The truth is that teachers will
not work for the salaries they are
now receiving; in all probability
the board of education would be
unable to employ a handful Of
teachers for next year unless they
are able to offer more money
than is available now.
1t, therefore, resolves itself in
10 the simple question OF having
schools or not having them. Ger
tainly, no citizen wants to see the
education of the children Of
Chickasha neglected. Nobody is
willing to have the schools handi-
capped. The only course open is
20 vote the additional funds need
ed by the board of education.

WHY REPUBLICANS WANT
GORE NOMINATED

The following extract from d
speech delivered by ex-President
Taft after his late visit to Okla
homa is taken from the Washing
tom Post and explains very sim
ply and satisfactorily why the re
publican papors and leaders i'll
Ollahoma are fighting Ferns and
boosting Gore. 1t also analyzes
very logically the support that is
left to Gore in Oklahoma. Here
is Taft'S summary Of the Okla
homa situations
Hamon s success is a serious
obstacle to Republican success in
the next election in Oklahoma.
There has been an excellent
chanceof clecting republican
senator to succeed Gore. The
democratic organization, state
and national, is in favor of Scott
Ferris. The radicals and the SO
cialists, as well as the pro-Ger-
mans, who by reason Of his war
votes in congress, look upon the
senator as a friend, are strong

Mr.. Ferris win be nominated. "
