ARDMORE SCHOOL LEVY IS THE LOWEST
editorial,

In survey recently made of number of cities the
United States by Dr. Smith of the University of Kansas it is
shown that out of total number of 80 cities the bonded
Indebtedness of Armore is Sl03S2 per capita which is the
highest of any city in the survey The lowest Atoon H.
with bonded Indebtedness per capita of 44c.
Of fifteen cities somewhat the of Ardmore the
state of Oklahoma the tax levy for schools the follow
ing table, Eleven cities voted tax levy Of 10 mills each,
one II mills one l3 mills III mills, and Ardmore has
the lowest tax levy for schools which is 9la mills.
After the present term of school in this city had been
month the county board and reduced the
school expenses by $4,000 Despite that reduction of the
funds and the lowest levy of these fifteen cities Ardmore
has maintained good school and has not been crippled
its operation although economy forced the board do with
out many things it could have used.
In the survey of forty cites Fort Dodge, Kansas
leads expenses for school support exclusive of bonds and
buildings On each property valuation in that city 81 900
collects $50 for school maintenance and Ardmore is the
lowest with $3.50 on the $1,000 of tax valuation.
In of 20 cities, Ardmore heads the list with
levy of S4462 thousand for state city, county school
purposes Ardmore 2S cent of this schools
including the interest and sinking fund Only two cities in
the survey less amount for school purposes Mason City,
Iowa, 635 per cent of its total for schools and
Wichita, Kansas. 70 per cent and Hastings Nebraska
uses 574S per cent
These figures very interesting to the people of this
city, They show that Ardmore is spending much than
the average amount for the support of its schools and they
show the total bonded Indebtedness that should result in
waking people up to point where they will the

100000 members, and the National Fed
Grafton of Transport Workers, which
numbers rs its members a large num-
der of unions which have a member
ship of close to 800, 900. 1t has been
estimated that if the alliance" should
call a strike there would be nearly A.
100000 persons idle in England as u
result.

unanimously by the transport workers
and railwaymen, j. II. Thomas. general
secretary OF the railway mems union,

McAlester, Okla, April 13.-Declar-
ing that "he reposed more confidence
in many men in this institution than
he did in several members and outside
influences or The house Of representa-
tives of the Oklahoma legislature" and
would sooner associate with members
OF this institution than with three or
four legislators Governor Robertson,
Tuesday bitterly expressed his views
before Il session of the l4th annual
convention of the Oklahoma Pharma-
ceutical Association at banquet given
in the main dining room of the state
penitentiary here.
Adjustment Of the situation arising
from the adjournment Of the Oklahoma
Legislature without passage of the gen
eral or institutional appropriation bills
is matter solely and unequvocally
vested in the chief executive of the
state. a matter in which he will exer-
else with the full power granted him
by the greatest majority ever given a
governor" Governor Robertson told
members of the McAlester Rotary club
at its MONDAY luncheon here today.
ut may be | shall call special ses-
sion or | may refer the bills under my
power to the people of the state, but,
why tell me, should | call back bunch
Of hyenas and wolves, who. from the
first day of the legislature, set about
with but one purpose in view--that of
destroying every department Of state
government to which the people of the
state look with such honor and with
such prosperity" the governor said TO
the members.
II am not afraid of what they would
attempt to do to me, do not fear in
vestigation of my office or what advan-
tage, politically, they believe would
result in the future administrations of
this state" Governor Robertson heat
edly cried to the club. 81 would not
hesitate moment to call the legisla-
ture back in session If members would
confne their activities solely 10 eXecu-
tion of the appropriation bills, failure
of passage of which has threatened the
very seat of institutions through the
common sacrifice of the people.
But Whdl Is man 10 90, Wnen the
first and last word that came from
