McCurtain is a great county, one
among the richest of Oklahoma and
it has much undeveloped land and its
resources have only been touched. It
offers to the investor much that will
benefit him and there is no occasion
for its people having other than
square deal. The Husonian ventures
that whoso violates the law in Mc
curtain county will be punished, and
that is all that can be done in any
civilized community.
In conclusion, Uiere is too much of
this battlewhanging the other fellow
without occasion. In a state like this,
one community can always stand by
the other. There is room for four
times more people than now reside in
Oklahoma—not a city of r.,000 popu-
lation in the state but should be twice

In this era, no one can succeed in
life without some education. No child
is responsibie for the condition of its
parents, but the state is responsible
for the citizenship which comprises
it, and so long as children are allow-
ed to grow up in ignorance, just that
long will there be grave offenses com-
mitted by those who are yet children.
And futurity holds little for those of-
fenders. They are shipped off to a

Is their only blessing and about all
their hope.
Oklahoma has a compulsory school
law. It Is far from strict enough,
but it ls sufficient. Of course, the
case in point was due to the long
ago, but it furnishes us solemn evi-
dence that we should guard against
such cases for the future.
There is a strong kick over the
state because of taxation and it is
undeniable that in some inatancec
there can be just protest made. Ok-
lahoma was peopled and developed with
great rapidity and, of course, there
will be burdens of taxtion which com*
to all communities that have grown
so fast. Meantime, our system of gov-
ernment is expensive. Our ideas
are modern, our expenses lH^wise.
That numerous expenditures were
made which were unavoidable is
not questioned, and the same can
be said of every ommonwealth. cur
state institutions have been too nu-
merous and cost of maintenance in
same rather high. Again, the state
corporations have refused to meet the
burden of taxation and have a chance
of winning their suits in the State
courts or those higher still.
But the foregoing accepted facts
whole people. On tfccountv'6f our great
prosperity and marvelous resources,
there has been too little time given
to how we paid our taxes and an
eril system of tariff^pald taxes sapped
much of our national resources and
we never stopped t*-coij«id rr that In
doing this we were stouildlqg monopo-
lies to cause us woe for a century.
In our growing cities we pay taxes
cheerfully and only call a halt w'hei^

American to surmount without gasp-
ing. We use the old methods and
get along with them, until it iB too
late to mend, then make partisan pro-
test.
Oklahoma's state 1 burden of taxa-
tion is heavj'.
Reasons are numerous.
For instance, we tried to make six
or seven normal schools grow where
only two grew before; we sought to
make a state institution at every cross
roads, when we have no need of them,
and we made state boards as often
as they seemed necessary. That would
be good campaign thunder for the par-
ty out of power, but from all the states
come the same complaint and it falls
equally hard on the people whether
done by democratic or republican ma-
jority— in * the majority of instances
in Oklahoma thfe republican minori-
ty joining hands for more institutions
and more expenditures.
Our troubles are serious—the way
out a hard cna As often predicted
those who wanted the most places
at more expense are first to feel the
hand of the tax collector. Garfield
county forgot politics in order that
Enid might have a feeble-minded in-
stitution, and now Enid taxpayers are
growing feeble-hearted trying to bor-
row money to pay their taxes with.
Oklahoma City forced a state elec-
tion that she might "donate" a free
capitol building—the state paying
thrice the rent formerly paid and has
no capitol structure, and Oklahoma
City is so sick of her bargain she
grunts every time the subject of taxa-
tion is allowed'to bfeak out of quar-
antine.
There are some bills to pay, and
the taxpayer Is being called out to do
the settling. It is not a new story.
The reformers who had nostrums for
all ills are out in the bushes; the tax-
payer on hand and he will settle. The
minority party will invite him on that
side and beguile him with promises,
but If he be wise, he will pay the bill
and insist on having a little more say
in what is going on.
McCURTAIN'S BAD ADVERTISING.
No one doubts t'.at them have been
some bad deals In McCurtain county. I
There is too much smoke for no fire.
But it Is doubtful If there Is occasion
for so much fuss as has been made. I
One half of the ci lzeus are making|
accusations against others which make;
outside people feel, if half the accu-
sations are true, McCurtain county
must be an abiding place of evil.
And what are the TacU?
The Husonian is not prepared to
answer. It can sta'?, however, that
nothing In the recoida from McCur-
tain county Justifies the broadcast sow
ing of wild stories. If there have
been breaches In Justice, as there are
all counties wherein man rules, there
• no Just grotml for believing that
.McCurtain countv naa not the fcort
of citizenship which right wrongs and
inflict punishment upon those offend-
ing. The Husonian believes In right
and in enforcement of law. It doc*
not believe, however, that there has
been occasion for the bad advertising
