THE OLD PARTIES ARE DEAD
Not a few students of politics
b-licve that the time has about
arriv- d for the l>r -aking tip <>f
the old parties and the formation
of new ones.
Today the differen<-e between
the old parties are gone. Tln-re
is n<i appreciable difference be-
tween the radical Bryan and the
radical Ro«>s-velt. and they could
perfectly agree upon a platform.
The country is really di.ided
between radicals ami conserva-
tive* and both parties have can-
didates representing these two
wings.
If only all the radicals were
in one party and the conserva-
tives in the other, then the old
parties might continue to repres-
ent the opposing sentiments or
poiltical ideas, but it is not so.
Perhaps wlon it come* to nom-
inating candidates it may hap-
pen that the one party will show
a preponderance one way and
the other party the opposing
ideas, but the probabilities now
are that both parties will nomi-
nate radicals.
Where in that event will the
conservatives go? TIow will they
vote t
In such an event it is likely
that the old parties will be brok-
en and one or more bolting can-
didates may come forward.
Would that be bad? We think
not. When the people are not
represented longer In tin- old
organizations it is time for new
organizations.
Perhaps new parties, with new
names would be a blessing in
many ways. It might lead to i
more united country by break
ing up the "solid south and
burying all the old issues, old
feeling, and prejudices. Th
old lines were too much geogra-
phical and sectional. New lines
would not be so, and this bless-
ing at least would be likely ti
follow.—Oklahoma City Times.

A Hea^trio-Heart Tax Talk
A statistician has occupied
himself with reading the news-
papers which are published in
Oklahoma, in the hope that lie
could find out how many can-
didates for office had made th ir
announcements up the present
time. He has not yet finished
making his list, has not yet se-
cured 10.0<>0 names of candidates,
but if his patience holds out he
believes that he will have a list
containing that number.
This looks like an interesting
situation. It promises much ex-
citement iu a campaign year.
There are many good men who
desire to hold public office and
if the voters are wise all ^ood
men will Ik- chosen and no un-
J'S rable officials will acquire
positions <>f honor and trust.
Just why so mony men aspire
to hold office might seem puz-
zling to the innocent voter who
pays taxes. But if he will ask
the candidates why they wish to
be elected, it is quite certain that
they will admit that they wish
to receive the income in con-
ction with the office.
llence, the income must be
attractive.
Who pays the salaries of the
public officials?
Why. the state and county and
city pay such salaries, of course;
every one knows that.
Yes, but who constitute the
state and the county «nd the
city? Where does the money
conic from to pay the salarie#!
Look at your tax receipt and
you will learn promptly who
pays the salaries of the public
officials.
These candidates for office are
i sking the support of the voters.
The candidates for the legislature
wish to be chosen. Would it not
I e a good idea to ask the legis-
lative candidates if they will sup-
port a movement to adjust the
salaries of public officers and
make such salaries fair to the
officers iitid also fair to the tax-
payers who pay the salaries?
We cannot get a reduction of
the salary list this year. The of-
ficers who are chosen this fall
draw the handsome incomes
which we have established. But
the members of the legislature
who are elected this fall can
change the salary list if the list
is not a fair one to all who are
interested.
Good men are wanted in pub-
lic office. No taxjiaver would
object to paying fair salaries.
But right now is a good time to
lind out what these salariis are
and if the taxpayers wish to
