ARE YOU FOR A
UNION GRADED SCHOOL?
The Independent \\ is! cs ti* Know 11o\v the Maioiilv < l
th; Patrons of District 88. District 90 (Silver Nidge •.
District 110 (Mt. Vernon), Label! District an;!
District 89 (Cashion) Feel Toward a Union
Graded School.
For some time past a number of people have expressed their
opinion in favor of unionizing the following districts: Nos. 88,
89, 90, 110, in Kingfisher County and Labell district in Logan
County into a central school for the purpose of teaching the
seventh to twelth grades. Wnere two or more districts union-
ize the old district is maintained, if it is the will of the pat-
rons of such district, to teach up to and including th * sixth
grades. In other words there is unionization only of the sev-
enth to twelth grades. To the best cf our knowledge there is
no indebtedness in any of the districts in questions, but should
there be, the original district alone is responsible tor such in-
debtedness. If a union graded school contains twenty five
souare miles then it is eligible to share in the slate aid 'or a-
bout $1,250. On making an estimate of the maintainance ex-
Dense of nine months annual term in each of the five distr.i ts
up to i.nd including the sixth grade, and a nine months annual
Term in the centralized district of the seventh to twelth grades,
oased on present valuation in said districts the levy would be
about 0', mills. This is much lower than it is in sowe of t hese
districts at the present time.
At present there seems to be a feeling with some chat this
issue is going to be forced upon districts adjacent to Cashion
but such feeling is not based on facts, and it is not likely that
a single individual can be found in any one of these districts
that would wish to force upon the patrons of the neighboring
districts a union that would be distasteful to a major portion
of the district patrons.
In order to ascertain just how the patrons of these districts feel
toward a union graded school we are below printing a lorm ot
ballot so that you may express your opinion. In voting on
this you in no way pledge yourselfe as this is merely being
done to find out just how you feel about this matter. If you
are not thoroughly acquainted with the law governing a union
graded school, if you will call at this office a copy of the law
can be seen and then you can express your opinon at that time.
We would like to have every man and woman in these districts
to cast a vote in this way and then if a majority are against
the proposition it will be dropped where it stands, however
if a majority are for unionizing then some action can be taken
toward that end. Clip the following ballot from this issue,
mark it according to your opinion, place it in an envelope
and mail it to the Independent, Cashion. A one cent stamp
on rural routes contributary to Cashion will bring it to us.
Vote it and mail it today.
As the ladies have a say in this matter we have prepared
two ballots, one for the ladies and one for the men. There
will be an ample amount of extra ballots at the Farmers State
Bank and at the First National Bank, Be sure to vote on this
important question. Sign your name to the ballot—ballots
not signed by legal voters of the five districts mentioned will
not count. The count will be made next Tuesday afternoon.
