CARNEGIE. OKiA.. Sept. 1.—
■ (apl.)—The Republicans of Caddo
county opened their campaign here
today, the occasion being the Fair
Mid Carnival being held here. This
bu been Keenbilosn day. Candl-
dates were preset 'ram differed
tarts of the county. B. M. Pannon-
XX of Lawton, was the speaker of
the day He drew apeciai attention
la the argument* advanced by Got
ernor Cruce that the chief fault with
and cause for high taxes is the ex-
pense created by the county and
school district officials, leaving an
Implied conclusion that the mate tax ,
1s of little or no consequence.
The figures were quoted showing
i that Comanche county's part for the
i .late taxes in 1910 was $2 .944.7«,
' and for 1 U. #56,086.28. That Kio-
wa county's part of the state tax for
laat year was more than double by
12,000, than it was the year before.
That Lincoln county's pan of the
atato tax for 1910 was $23,219.88. for
1911, $47,947.48, for 1912 will be $55.-
900, and that Canadian county's part
of the state tax for laat year was 84
oer cent more than the rear before
are 76 counties In the atate. no one
oan arrive at any conclusion, except-
ing there la a tremendous increase In
the amount paid for state taxes, that
!■ almost incredible
In addition to this, the state has
created an indebtedness In 4 l-«
years of $8,770,000. b«ing approxi-
mately $2,000,000 per year, or $186,-
000 per month, or over $5,000 ter
day Indebtedness created In addition
to the constantly lncreaaing amount
of taxes paid. The Republicans of
Caddo county are united and hare
no doubt but that they will eaaUy
1 carry the county In the coming elec-
tion. because of the dissatisfaction
I with high taxea and extravagant and
Incompetent roanagenment.
