County Sheriff, having learned in a few dayg
every lesson and endured every
life. Have these counties any
debts? Among the largest of
this state.
What do the oil men care for
bonds. Bonds usually run for 20
or 25 years and long before they
become due Mr. Oil man will
have pumped this wealth out of
the ground and have gone east
to live in luxury.
Sure he will help vote bonds
and he has helped vote nearly
$400,000 bonds on Creek county.
Why shouldn’t he. He never
expects to help pay them. He
leaves the farmer to do that.
This has been the history of all
oil counties and will be the his-
tory of Shaffer county. They
will vote the bonds to build a
court house at Cushing and
paved roads to the oil field and
the farmers can pay for them.
(■pod Pppimon Sense
How ean a county with less
area, less taxable land, less val.
uation, fewer improvements and
more expenses be run enough
cheaper than the one you live in
to reduce your taxes? If the
smaller the county, the lower the
taxes—why not make A county
of Osage township alone?
And now will some of the
biFPd legal lights pf the Shaffer
county bppfders please rise and
tell the meeting new a new coun-
ty *• to start business as a coun-
ty “free of indebtedness" when
the said new county has no court
house, jail, records, supplies, and
has ho money with which to buy
thepi or to pay county officers’
salaries pp thp enoj-fpouq court
expenses that wijl accrue? Do
any of you old-timers remember
how it was jn Lincoln county the
first year?
We don't undpr^ tq deny
that northern Lincoln coqnty has
never had any just grievances
will result in lower taxes, for the
oil men will not pay county
taxes.
How the Cushing bunch must
love us to send foreign mission-
aries into Lincoln county to teach
us that our economic salvation
depends upon our helping their
town get a county seat!
When a fellow is in doubt it
is a pretty good plan to play
safe. Don’t burn the bridges
behind you unless you are dead
sure you want to stay on the
other side of the stream. If you
vote yourself into the proposed
new Shaffer couuty, you will
have to stay, whether you like
it or not. You may discover that
the glowing promises of the
town-boomers and office-seekers
are gold bricks, but it will be
too late to repent when the prop-
osition has carried, for the pro-
posed county is so small that
none of it can legally be taken
away. If you enter into a mar-
riage contract with the Cushing
grafters there will be no chance
for a divorce on aay ground. If
the Shaffer county scheme is
voted down and you afterwards
conclude it was a mistake you
can have another chance to vote
for it, but if it carried you’ll not
have another chance to vote
against it. Better play safp.
The fihaffer county boosters,
ltvordw try to make us far,
that there will, ftysY
as many errors as does this 17
inches of froth from the skunk
den. Really, the lamentable
ignorance of these animals is
only exceeded by the swell-head-
edness that prevents them from
learning things they need to
learn and, in a greater degree,
by the measure of jealous malice
which swells their little pin-
pointed souls to stupendous pro-
portions.
Satan & Spawns’ critical argu-
ment U so unworthy of attention
or rebuttal that the only reply
we have to make is to say that
they could have advertised their
perfume factory in the directory
by coming forward and paying
for the advertisement, same as
decent people (lid. Do these vile
slanderers, bulldozers and black-
mailers expect the telephone
company or The Farmer print-
ery to advertise their stench
factory free of charge?
But this writer is one among
numerous Yale citizens who have
long been weary of the senseless
strife continually engendered by
this aggregation of stinkers. We
only desire to go forward in our
endeavors to make an honest
living, to boost our town, our
fellow citizens and our home in-
terests in an upright and decent
manner. It is indeed a pity that
Satan & Spawn lack the man.
