Thursday, last week,. Lou Miller,
State Question No. 50, Referendum
Petition No. 22.
The gist of the measure is to
amend the Constitution of the State
1 so that the Legislature will have
; power to levy taxes in aid of the
| common scnools of the state and to
provide for the apportionment and
distribution thereof among those
school districts of the state in which
a ten mill advalorem levy and money
derived from all other sources is in-
sufficient to maintain common

giving out of said district out of said
fund hereby authorized such addi-
tional sum as is necessary to main-

Cray’s, to appraise the damages
making a proposed road across
piece of school land.
The
five months in
question is,
in “Shall the proposed Amendment be
a Adopted? Yes or No.”
Fred Black, Campbell Russell argues against
drove the car and Ed Francis was the adoption of this mte
endment on
along to hunt republican votes.
When within four and a halt miles
of the place of meeting, the car de-
cided to stop right there and the boys
had just 45 minutes in which to get
there. The only motive power in
sight was Shank’s mare and over a
sandy road at that, but the apprais-
ers were equal to the occasion and
reported on time. By the time the
appraising was done, Mr. Black had
his car in working order and got the
party back to the city in good shape
soon after dark.
HON. C. W. HEROD
FOR CONGRESS.

holding his own in the race for the

know him best are his warmest sup-

the ground that nearly all of these
districts have been provided for in
old Oklahoma by the sale of the
school land, and the placing of the
same on the tax rools and in the
Indian Territory part of the state by
the $300,000 federal appropriation
and by the distribution of the public
service corporation school tax.

A TALK WITH SUBSCRIBERS
We are sending out statements to
all of the subscribers of Renfrew’s
Record who are in arrears or whose
subscription has just expired. We
are sending these statements now.
because the great wheat harvest will
make it easier for everybody to
raise that dollar or two for the coun-
ty paper. The editor of the Record
lived on the farm for nearly 50 years
and knows how easy it is for the
farmer to forget the newspaper man
until all other bills are paid. We
are sending these statements just as
reminders so that the newspaper
will not be overlooked.
Times have been close with the
editor, as with the farmer, and all
other lines of business, but this big
wheat crop will go far toward mak-
ing times better. The prices are not
so good as we would like to have
seen, but the big yield helps to over-
come low prices.
If more convenient, produce, such
as chickens, eggs, or anything that
an editor can eat, will be just as ac-
ceptable on subscription as cash.
Merchants due bills will be taken,
the same as other currency. We
hope to hear from all of our sub-
scribers in the course of the next
three months. Any errors In the
statements rent will be cheerfully
corrected.
Fred S. Caldwell, of Oklahoma
City, prohibition enforcement attor>
ney under the Haskell administra-
tion, and candidate for attorney
general on the Democratic ticket,
seeks the support of all citizens who
want all the laws enforced. He Is
the author of the famous Webb bill,
which takes away from the “boot-
legger,” and the “joint keeper” the
interstate commerce protection. He j
was selected by the Anti-Saloon
League of America to argue the con-
stitutionality of this bill before the
Senate and House Judiciary commit-
tees at Washington .and the bill be-
came a law over President Taft’s
veto. This victory over the highest
priced lawyers the liquor interests
could secure established his standing
as a constitutional lawyer. He has
been In general practice in Oklaho-
ma eleven years, and Is known as
an aggressive and able lawyer.
Mr. Caldwell says: ”1 stand for
the enforcement of all laws. No
other candidate can say this. Mr.1
Key says he is for ‘safe and sane’
enforcement, which means a wide-
open-town policy. Mr. Freeling has
always been an anti-prohibltionlst,
has actively favored resubmission,
and his present campaign Is being
managed and financed by two well
known representatives of the boot-
leggers and gamblers of Shawnee.
Mr. Hill, In the legislature, voted
against the bill to abolish race-track
and turf exchange gambling.”
The Muskogee Times-Democrat,
In an editorial on Mr. Caldwell’s
candidacy, says: “He has been
Identified with the enforcement of
the liquor law of the State for a
number of years, and combined zeal
in the enforcement of the law with
real legal ability. Mr. Caldwell will
undoubtedly have the support of tho
prohibition forces of the state.”
