No Money.
The Board of Committonort
Unable to Pay Bllla
The commitiionort are against
a proposition they do not appre-
ciate. They know that the cry of
low taxes is good campaign thun-
der with which to win votes dur-
ing ^campaign, but the following
spring when they come to pay
bills low taxes are not the thing.
But few, if any bills will be
paid this session, but will be put
over to the July aession, then go
over again to some future aession
after a heroic tax levy has been
paid. How much longer will the
voters of Washita county be bun-
coed by this flimsy trick of low
tax levy on the eve of a political
campaign. We wish the people
to remember last campaign how
the cry of small lax levy was
used in the campaign, then real
ize there is no money in the sev-
eral funds to pay the honest ob-
ligations of the county, then not
be fooled by the cheap bombast
again. .
In a conversation with Com-
missioner Hiiids he expressed
himself as being considerably
out of patience with the old set
of commissioners for not provid*
ing sufficient funds to pay the
running expenses of the county,
and declared that no such condi-
tion would exist when be went
out of office.
It is noticeable that thu salary

Ton Dollar* to Owe
While we do not endorse the
radical change advocated below,
but believe a more equal divialon
than made at the laat session of
the territorial ^legislature. We
take the following from the Okla
homa Farm Journal:
'Higher education" comes
high in Oklahoma. The last leg
isiature appropriated $625,500 for
the territorial educational Insti-
tution for two yesrs. Of this
smount the agricultural college
will recetve $185,100, about one
dollar out of five. The amount
appropriated for running expen-
ses of the achools is $885,000; of
this the college will receive about
$35,000, thus the territory will
spend one dollar to educate our
young folks for farm life and ten
dollars to educate them away
from the business in which more
than three-fourths of the people
are engaged. We may not be a
priest-ridden people but we are
certainly pretty near being a pro-
fessor ridden. The sums appro-
priated are not too large, but the
proposition should be changed.
It should be ten dollars for agri-
culture to one dollar for teaching
the dead languages, music and
football.
