ttisfy the world, whereas what
ed in both instances was an ar
ne kind which would make it I'M

ords there is in the ivory
ID, military Uranium for the conception
tha thc, rid wants to substitute something else
for bslile ic+ce in the government of mankind.
UntA, hat idea finds Judgment there is no use
for any more conferences. So long as man clings
to the barbarous belief that war is necessary, he
IS utterly and fundamentally disqualified to dis
cuss peace problems, because, to him, peace has
no other meaning than submission of the weak to
the strong.
That is what made Versailles CHASTITY tragedy
wrecking the hopes which a deluded world had
built on the death-swept fields Of the world war.
1t was what converted the Washington meeting
into comedy with half dozen popinjay nations
strutting about on the stage in public while pri-
vately they have had no higher aim than to get this
country to finance them for the next war for
civilization"
But after all, it is up to the people If after
these two instances The public still believes that
conferences composed mainly of war lords and
war prohteers be depended upon to restore
peace and good will on earth, but little sympathy
IS deserving when the punishment for this folly
is finally administered
Wars will cease when the common people, the
senseless and helpless cannon fodder of military
chleftains, decide they will do no more fighting.

To the unnitiated this may not seem to be Of
Importance but to those familiar with the work
ings of the greatest newsg gathering agency in the
world, the announcement that / he Ielegram has
undertaken to give to its readers this metropolitan
service will create feeling of genuine satisfaction
Full leased wire means the giving of all the news
Of any value whatsoever including routine happen

features that received directly from Washing
ton by the Associated Press telegraph operator
whose Office is in The Telegram building 1t
means the putting of this community in close and
direct touch with the outside world and places
this territory on the same basis as the largest
metropolitan centers
A word as to why this great advance in news
paper enterprise is being undertaken. The first
reason is faith in this section Of Florida The
second is desire to render distinct service to
this community A third and very important reason
is to make The Telegram a better newspaper that
it may worthly represent a growing and expand
ing section of the South generally admitted TO have
no equal. So there is ample incentive to carry
on and enlarge the structure reared by the foun-
ders ct this newspaper who themselves realized
that day was coming when the work so well
begun by them would lead TO still greater achieve
ments The motto of The Telegram has ever
been SERVICE" Sometimes it has been diff
hcult to live up to that motto bu! the goal has
never been out of sight. So now comes the op
portunly to further demonstrate the fact that the
mission Of The Telegram is not alone to be
financial and business success but better sill. TO
be IN position to render real service to the people
without whose cooperation good will and assist
ance 1t would not be possible to exist. 1t is a
wonderful thing to have the confidence Of the
public; 1t is an obligation of prime importance TO
treat that confidence as a sacred OBLIGATION and
trust his newspaper has ALWAYS pursued The
ethical policy Of journalism in letting the public
be the judge as to merits and dement's. If The
verdict had not been favorable this new. advance
step would not have been taken And let Us saw
right here that The Telegram has no ambition to
be the know-All and the Big Am among its
people, Rather does prefer to s a, the feet
OF knowledge and Experience to gain wisdom and
inspiration for the pressing duties Of the day.

THE TAX RECORDS.

VIM. Stacey while In the county
attorneys office put three million
dollars worth of property on the tax
rolls that had escaped taxation from
statehood. To do this he Instituted
litigation and carried 1t successfully
through the supreme court. This
brought in approximately 100000 a
year in taxes. More than one-third
OF this amount was allowed to drop
from the rolls as soon as he was out
of office. There is still two million
dollars worth of property in Grady
county Illegally escaping taxation,
and all efforts to tax 1t ceased as
soon as Stacey left office. A big
judgment obtained against the coun-
ty before he went In office was
tried by him in the supreme court
and reversed. Since he left office
this case was retired in the district
court and judgment again taken
against the county. No appeal was
taken and bonds to the amount of
$5,2SO were issued in payment. 1t
will require $4,000 in taxes to re-
deem these bonds. Since then the
supreme court has held in an ident-
cal case against Bryan county that
the counties are not liable in such
cases. Stacey's last official act was
to warn the county officials against
the attempt being made to stick the
taxpayers for this illegal claim
There are number of other suits
of very similar character, involv-
ing about $4,000, still pending
against the County. A number Of
suits to collect taxes begun by
Stacey are still pending and al
though 1t is the duty Of the county
attorney to attend to them, the eoun-
Gil and board of education of Click
asha have employed Stacey to pro-
tect the interests Of Chickasha tax
payers. A few weeks ago the board
Of education in asking the voters
to vote one mill more for support
of the schools than the year previ
GUS, gave as reason the reduction
in assessed valuation of the district.
This brings the total tax very close
to the limit that can be voted under
the constitution. Unless all the tax
able property in Chickasha is put on
the rolls and kept there the school
term will have to be reduced to sew
en- months. within two years,
