COST OF STATE GOVERNMEN"
The Lid Opening.
On May 16tli, the Patriot publish-
ed as its first iiage feature, a table
in II;,' State expenses Icr the vari-
ous state offices and officers, and
printed in red feature lines, the
name of the publication from which
\vu secured the figures, to-uit.: Okla-
homa Economist, published in ilit
interest of the Oklahoma State Tax-
payers League. We have several ol
this Issue left and will be glad to
send or feive you a coiy if you will
call or malce the request.
T6e farmers and taxpayers or Ok-
lahoma county feeling aggrieved and
liurt by the way the Stale administra
tion is spending i lie money and be-
iiii; at the home of the state officer
are. like the farmers Tax League of
Grant county, trying to find out
where it is goin^, have organized a
Tax payerrs League and designated
it the State Tax-payers Protective
Association. They found no paper
would print all the facts regardin
the State and County officers, s
they are publishing their own paper,
and it is called the Oklahoma Econo-
mist, and is published twice a mouth.
The Economist will keep uo help
that try to shield an officer who is
in bad, no matter what his politics
be. They have been in a crusade se-
curing figures and data and it is
not coming second handed, it comes
direct from the vouchers and books
of the administration. They are get-
ting facts and figures as they exist.
Tlicy are not defending anyone who
1b short and found wrong. The ta-
bles it is printing shows that Okla-
homa is the most expensive state in
expending the tax money, of any six
states surrounding it. The table the
Patriot printed on May 10, was com-
paring only three states with state
expenditures. In the issue of the
Economist of May 15th, may be
found the expenses of six states,
.showing it cost Oklahoma for thirty-
one items, near $2,000,000 while it
cost South Dakota, $230,111 and both
are new states.
This Taxpayers League paper also
■allows that it costs the tax-payers of
Oklahoma $64,400.00 for the Attorney
Generals office. In Kansas is costs
the tax-payers $l!)-000. It shows the
Governor's brother and partners were
employed by the state to defend the
Grandfather Clause, a political ques-
tion purely.
■Oklahoma spent $61,400.00 for the
State Board of Health, (wpnder what
they did in Grant county I, and South
Dakota spent $400. Some difference.
■Oklahoma paid a Highway Commis-
sioner and his office $30,000 while
in Nebraska, Texas, Tennessee and
South Dakota they don't know what
such an office is. What has Grant
county for her share of this $30,000.
Yes, the clerks and easy chairs
must be paid for, so the Legislature
taxes on $1 for automobiles
political tribute to keep the machine
working.
Oklahoma is paying $20, 000 for a
Food Inspector, as this Farmer's Ec-
onomist states. Kansas dou't have
such a thing. The Government is in-
specting their food stuff. Has any
Grant county farmer received any-
thing in the way of "Food inspection'
of this $20,000?
The State of Oklahoma, according
to this Tax-payers League, the Econo
mist, says the State books show
the State has apid $131,(500 for print-
ing; South Dakota don't have such
an officer and Nebraska lets her
counties do the work within the
counties and all the printing for the
state officers amounted to $2,000.
How much of this $131,600 Oklahoma
spent did Grant county farmers rea-
lize on?
This same Oklahoma Farmer's
Tax paper shows that every county
that tTTe State Examiner has inspect-
ed, he has found a shortage. It
shows that at Oklahoma City, the
different county officers have been
found with errors in their accouuts
amcmnting to over ! 50,000 while in
Grant it run a little more than $5,0i 0
This paper shows the Coropration
commission is costing the State of
Oklahoma $160,200 while in Kansas
it coBts $30,400. What has this com-
mission done for the farmers of
Grant county? Have they

must have on ice to transact the
dear people's business.
The Economist shows it costs Ok-
lahoma j;; i li-r C.iaruties and
corrections, while iu all of Texas
and the shite of Tenn sste it co3ts
nothing.
The State Board of Agriculture,
now costiui $;8i,t00 und in Nebras-
ka It costs $26,500. This makes Grant
County's share $2,5t0. i it worrth
it? What benefit are you getting?
Is that nd ti'2 on the sack before
you sell to your neighbor?
A State Reporrter gets $7,800 of
the people's money, while Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee
and Texas cio jidi have such an offi-
cer.
In Oklahoma thi y have a Fire Mar
sl'.al who gets $12,000 and ail the
states above named do not have
such an officer. How much good is
this office doing the farmers?
The Game Warden in Oklahoma
lias an expenditure of $62,200. How
much is Grant county being benefit-
ed by this?
The office of the Secretary of the
State is spending $53,64 0. About
how much is his outlay in Grant
county?
The Board of Education is costing
$20,000 of t'.ie tlx payers money.
How much education are they giving
Grant county ? What uo they use it
for?
The Banking Board costs the state
$84,160 and this is over $1,000 a cotm
ty for every county in Oklahoma.
Do you tax payers Q&. , this is rea-
sonable?
The School Land Department is
costing the State $136,120. This
close to $5,000 for every county
Oklahoma tlmt has sciiool land
it. Do you lax payers think this is
a wise and economical expenditure?
Do you think it is worth $5,000 to
look after the school land in Grant
county.
The Tax- payers are getting at
the root of the high cost. You see
where is runs. With this grossly
sum of the people's money being ex-
pended in the State officers, and the
counties that have been inspected,
all found with errors and all on one
side of the ledger, don't you honest-
ly think you better keep off the
grass hereafter and step defending
tne fellows who are higher up, ant,
dishing out patronage to keep you
still?
Do you farmers know that aside
from the large sums the Commission-
ers order paid to keep "THREE
COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPERS GO-
ING," that the share allotted to
Grant county to keep the big papers
of the administration good and go-
ing is her proportionate share of
the State expenses of $ 3 o 1,600 spent
for printing or near $2,00. Do you get
value for it? What is is you really
get. for this?
Isn't the Farmer's Tax League un-
covering some things about now?
Isnt' the squealers the ones who are
getting rubbed?
The expenses of the State Exam-
iner and Inspector's Office for two
years were only $51,600. Isn't this
about an average of the 75 counties
of about $700 per county? Has is
been worth our share of what they
uncovered in Grrant county? Even
though there be no bad intent to
make the errors or charges. Isn't it
worth it to know where we are at?
At Oklahoma City they uncovered
over $50,000. Do you think that is
worth the $700?
The facts and figures of what is
becoming of the tax payers money-
can be read in the Oklahoma Econo-
mist, the official publicatiou of the
League for 50 cents per year. Sub-
scriptions can be sent direct,
can be sent through the Patriot of-
fice, without expense for postage or

POINTS TO REMEMBER.
Every Appliance For Woman's Work
Should be the Best for its
Purpose.
There is as great a difference in
the cost of making a sewing ma-
chine as there is in making a watch.
A cheap watch will indicate time
with fair accuracy for a short time;
fairly good stitching can be done on
some of the old patterns of cheap
sewing machines when they are new,
but they always work hard, are noisy
and soon wear out.
There Is but One Quality of Sin-
ger Machines—THE BEST.
Every machine is tested by actual
sewing at the factory; it is aiwavs
ready for everry kind of stitching
and will do better work and do it
longer than any other, because it is
of better design and construction.
