OF OUR STATE AXO RATION
Following are extract! from
recent - letters from some of
America’s greatest men on the
value of business education
Secretary Department of Inter-
ior Washington D C : “Col-
leges giving special instructions
in subjects pertaining to busi-
ness life are doing good work in
the preparation of efficient
workers in the business life of
the country” J A P Howe
United States Representative
“To my mind the world is rapid-
ly outgrowing the old theory
and is taking up the theories
that au education should fit the
student for some line of practical
work iu life” Oswald West
Governor of Oregon’ “The mod-
ern business school plays a large
part in fitting young men and
women for their entrance into
the business world” T C
Pickett Representative from
Iowa t‘The value even neces-
sity of a practical education to
youug people today is obvious
lbat uoargUment should be re
qulred in support of it” E F
Noel Governor of Mississippj)
j take pleasuri in testifying
to the importance of a practical
business education and to the
efficiency of a properly conduct-
ed business school in imparting
such knowledge” C N Hask
tion of the greatest importance”
John w KerQt United Stgteg
Senator “Everybody ought by
this time to understand that
business men and business wom-
en need business education on
tbe same principle tbat a Doctor
must have a medical education”
methods we greatly reduce the
time and cost of a course Be
one of the many who will be
with us in September
After repeatedly voting down all
of the propositions suggested the
state board of equalisation Wed lies-
day afternoon agreed upon an in-
crense of 100 percent on Oklahoma
county farm lands which would
make the average valuation 41 0(1
per acre the highest in the stale
The next highest is Kay county
with a valuation of 8750 The
iropoBed valuations rejected by the
ioard ranged from 40 to G in-
eluding -the due finally adopted
Go veruor Ci nee Secretary of State
Jen Harrison and President G1 J
Jryan thought that the valuations
suggested were too high while
Auditor Leo Meyer Treasurej Rob-1
ert Dunlop and State Examiner
Charles Taylor thought they were I
not high enough Attorney Gener-
al West was not present for the
vote on that question

Can We Afford It?
If Muldrow can install a good county and community are repre-
water plant she has taken one rented at the State Fair as it is the
very important step toward e-
liminatiug typhoid or oilier dis-
ease that is caused from impure
water Aa a proof of this we
call attentiou to the town of
Sallisaw Befote she put in a
system of water there were five
cases of typhoid to where theie
is only one tow In view of this
fact can we affoid to endanger
our lives and the lives of loved
ones in order to reduce our taxes
a few dollars There are a few
people we are sorry to say that
would not stop at anythink if
they could save or make a dollar
or two
Muldrow is afflicted like Job
and for this particular ailmeut
we would prescribe an extra
dose of taxation then she w ould
"come clean” — Muldrow Press
We believe that the able ed-
itor of tbe Press should have
considered again before he look
tbat rap at his home town It
baa been our experience that
human nature is aboutth e same ’
I everywhere and doubtless
there are a few men-in Muld
I row who have nothing to do
but talk They are enough to
make a good' citizen forget
I himself sometimes But those
I same felloWs were busy in Sal
llisaw and Vian before the
water works elections were
held in those good towns In
Vian the proposition carried
unanimously and only three
men voted against the proposi
tion at Sallisaw two or whon
baYe moved awjiy since that
time
Marble City has good pure
water and no typhoid but we
are going to have water works
before long and we believe that
every property owner in the
town will walk up and vote for
the bonds
