the editor of this paper has taken on
the matter in hand, we were very
wisely informed yesterday afternoon
by member of the park board, whose
shoulders are bowed with the weight
of his excessive wisdom, that we were
lined up with the wrong crowd in OPP
posing the putting onto the backs of
the tax payers of the city another
added burden Of taxation. A year ago
this same park board slipped over
the purchase of the Chautauqua park
and building at a cost Of something
like ten thousand dollars We did not
kisk on that neither did anybody else
very hard, and we bought that park.
There are some eleven acres in there
we believe and good auditorium, all
of which, perhaps is good thing for
the city and no harm is done by its
purchase, but it has to be paid for just
the same. This additional park with
the beautiful park we have had all
these years known as the city park,
will take care of our wants in this
line for many years to come, and II
the town makes that wonderful growth
that optimists so glowingly picture to
us as an inducement to buy more, it
can be bought when the time comes
, even if we have to pay more TOR 1t
we can afford to pay more if the town
will only grow. The people have
enough tax burdens to bear now and
we need improvements in the city fal
more urgent than more parks and
, things we must have-like improved
water system, better streets and the
fixing up of the properties we now
have. These are concrete facts .anc
canrot be disputed We see no reason
! for being classed as has-beens because
we do not feel like falling in with the
pet schemes of few whose desire fol
! the purchase of this land is actuotec
| by personal motives more than by any
! desire to enhance the beauty of the
I city-that is, we might put it thai
way if we so desired and felt like the
young Solomon who said we had linee
up with the wrong bunch in this deal
We want to say right here, however
that we do not believe the board ha:
any interest in that land other thar
that they seem to think this is a gooC
time to buy it It is in our judgment
their honest opinion about the matter
However, we feel that this is time
for retrenchment and a matter of 81
I vital interest to all the people shoule
be decided by the people themselves
The board could have taken the ia,
payers into it's confidence by invitin:
+ the opinion Of the people. 1t is tryine
to slip over deals like this against the
will of the majority that gave us the
nonpartisan league and if this sort Of
thing is continued we shall continue

soft pedal when it comes to piling or
I more taxes that are not needed.

Nearly all the jurors which have
been impaneled to serve at the term Of
district court which opened here to-
day, arrived in the city yesterday and
are registered at the respective hotels
in the city. The full number that
were drawn of course will not be
ed away, or are spending the winter
in some of the southern states.
C. T. Hoverson and wife of Fargo
are visitors in the city. Mr.. Hover
son is located at Fargo, where he is
engaged in war risk insurance work
among ex-service men of the state.
He formerly lived here. We under
slant he is here to appear for some
Of his clients in district court.

A. C. Townley opened state wide
drive in Kansas yesterday when one
thousand leaguers went out into the
country to secure memberships in the
league at SIG per. The managers of
the drive reported they had secured
already sixteen thousand members in
Kansas and others were running with
their money in their fist to throw
into the Townley hopper. If reports
are correct Arthur C. Townley has
fallen into green and productive pas
tures-but the poor farmers of Kan
sas will be much poorer and wiser
when they get through with that state
socialism vision that is being put up
on them. We have had our day and
we are now paying the piper.

nonpartisan legislatures of the past,
which helps some. Here's hoping he
will continue along that line of re-
trenchment
The presidential electors in every
state in the union will meet at the
capital of each state and vote for pres
ident and vice-president today. 1t
would be rather startling to Mr.. Hard
ing and Mr.. Coolidge if these electors
should happen to renig on their votes
and elect the other fellows. Neither
of these gentlemen know officially that
they are elected despite the fact that
they had million or two votes to the
good last November. However, there
is no fear but what each delegation
will vote in accordance with the wish
es of their home people as expressed
at the polls. The house of represen-
tatives at Washington meets in Feb
ruary and canvasses the official vote
from each state and declares the two
candidates officially elected.
The house of representatives at Bis
marck voted yesterday demanding the
report of the state auditing board of
the state institutions. Like all other
attempts to get the light turned on
the doings of the state managers of
the institutions the nonpartisans sent
up howl of protest and called it gag
rule. They have evidently forgotten
how they sat down on the independent
members with their gag rule and
wouldn't even allow an independent
to speak on the merits of the bills pre-
scented to the Legislature. The boss
cracked his whip and the red and black
headed clerk went on in machine like
precision to call the roll and rush the
various bills through. They need q
little Of their own medicine and we
guess they will get it before the ses-
sion is ended. There must be some
thing awfully rotten with the Bank CT
North Dakota and the other industries
from the manner in which the leag-
uers are fighting having the records
made public They have friend in
Lenke who will try his best to keep
them out of the pen if they have done
anything wrong. Why all this fuss
about having this report made.

A committee of bankers went up to
see Gov. Frazier yesterday to talk
over the matter of financing the sale
of state bonds. The bankers agreed
to sell two million dollars worth of
state bonds for the state elevator and
mill and one million dollars for the
bank if the administration would agree
to turn that institution into rural
credits bank. The governor, however,
turned the proposition down, as he
does every good proposition, and now
it looks as if we are not going to get
very far with this selling of bonds:
The bankers have made pretty good
offer we should think.

Gov. Frazier in his message to the
legislature yesterday is very en-
phatic that the legislature quit early
and go home. We agree with him on
that. But our wiley executive two
years ago was in no hurry for the leg.
islative body to go home early. in fact
that body controlled absolutely body
and soul by Townley and his bunch
not only kept going until the final
limit but had more employees on the
pay roll than there were any need Of.
The governor knows that he and his
bunch cannot put over any more ex-
travagant legislation and he has no
time for this legislature. Much as it
would be desirable for the present
session to pass appropriation bills,

The more we see the workings of the
present law relating to the duties of
the park board, the more convinced we
become that it is time to get that
law repealed. Under the present law
the park commission can meet, DECIDE
to issue bonds in almost any amount
without any vote Of the people and
lust as they feel like it: They can go
out here to Sanborn or Oriska and buy
any piece of land they desire and call
it city park and no one can say them
nav. Let's demand the repeal OF a
law that carries with it such autocratlc
powers.

Gust Wog, whose seat in the state
senate is now being contested, believes
in safety first. W hen a motion'to try
his contest case in the open senate
came up recently Gust voted no with
all the vigor of his manhood. Mr.
Wog-like his bosses-does not want
the public to know what happened IN
his district. during the late election.
We presume he will also be allowed to
vote on the findings of the election
committee of the senate. IT ne U.s.,
there is no doubt but what Wog Will be
the senator seated. The presiding Of
ficer of the senate, Wood, claims that
Voc has a right to vote on his own

open vote want the report of the au-
diting committee on the bank made

The Fargo Courier-News is all the
time harping about the narrow, ma

True sportsmanship in every sense
of the word was the activity which

they donned baseball uniforms, and

pose OF aiding in the campaign which
is now being conducted to raise funds

PLANNED FOR BOYS.
AND GIRLS JULY II

Prizes will be awarded the eighth
grade rural graduates at the open air
reception following the commence
ment exercises next Sunday for the
greatest activity in cultIyating ac-
quaintances. This plan was adopted
by Mrs. Kate Gait zaneis as a means
of promoting ready companionship
among the several hundred children
who will be here.
Definite plans for determining the
number Of companionable interviews
sought by each boy and girl have been
mapped out by Mrs Zaneis. Although
quite a problem, she declared, i will
prove to be practicable.

ARDMORE TO HAVE zoo

Ardmore is to have a zoo! Fred E.
Tucker has volunteered to take it as
his civic task to work for the estab-
hshment Of an animal park in this
city. It viii be a joy to the children,
il will be the pride of the older folks
and it will be an asset to Ardmore
Mr. Tucker VIII begin at once to map
out his plans 10 execute them. He
must first select suitable place for
its establishment, ne must know
something Of the nature Of wild ami
mails in order to use intelligence in
such selection. Next he must induce
the purchase Of the park, a proper
caretaker must be employed and
then animals must be obtained His
is rather q huge task, but one Of his
boyhood expressions that has lived
with US is that ne "likes hard things
10 do" He has an interesting task
before him and it is our opinion that
he will succeed. A city is built from
within. Its own people must build il

In the price depression the farm
ers seem to have suffered most. In
east Texas where bountiful peach
crop has been raised the fruit sells
only for enough TO pay gathering,
packing and shipping charges and not
penny is left for the grower. Only
a portion Of the fruit is being ship
ped and che rest will be wasted.
While east Texas will be bothered
with decaying fruit, west Texas will
be hungry for peaches.

THE AMERICAN CREED

I believe in the United States Of
America as a government OF the
people, by the people, for the peo-
pie, whose Just powers are derived
from the consent Of the governed;
democracy in a republic, a sovereign
Nation Of many sovereign States;
perfect Union, enc and inseparable,
established upon those principles Of
freedom, equality, justice and hui
manity for which American patriots
sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it; to support its
Constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect its flag; and to defend it
against all enemies.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-07-11

other than the ordinary sort Of
rest from the years work. And al
ter the stay on the farm, the return
to ones labors is marked with in
creased energy and a desire TO strive
harder than ever 10 achieve success.
Just SO, for the same purpose, the
farm kiddies must be provided with a
few weeks life each year other than
the ordinary life which will de-
velop their minds, and which will
make them appreciate their existence
more. Let them become acquainted
with Natures beauty and the recre-
alton which she provides
Such development VIII make Of
them better citizens, and thus they
viii become more valuable to their
community. their state, and their
country.
The beauties Of the farm are great.
City folks appreciate the fact because
they see the farm at intervals only.
Farm folks will appreciate it, when
they see places other than the farm
more often.
The action taken by the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs should stimulate
other organizations, whether civic,
athletic, or otherwise, TO follow suit
and aid in every manner possible to
establish the camp at Turner Falls.
