Asher Votes Bonds
For Sewerage System
Asher has stepped out of the
village class and is now bidding
for recognition as a city.
Tuesday Asher voted to issue
$40,000 in bonds for the construc-
tion of a sanitary sewer system
and extension of the water mains.
The election, while spirited,
passed quietly and without hard
feeling being developed.
The vote was light because of
the necessary restrictions placed
about the ballot box. Under a
state ruling only those who held
a tax certificate—either on per-
sonal property of realty, could
vote. This disfranchised hundreds
of Asher voters who have moved
in within the past year yet did
not possess tax receipts issued
within the previous twelve months
Only the taxpaying head of a
home was entitled to a vote.
The result— 40 for and 28 ag-
ainst the issuance, must be tak-
en as an indication of the full
strength of the opposition. Not
a single new resident is known to
oppose the issue. The 28 pro-
testants took their positions on
the fear of excessive taxation.
Unquestionably there were hun-
dreds of voters, men and women,
in Asher who would have cast
ballots for the bonds had not the
qualifications enacted been so
stringent .
Tlhis preponderence of favorable
sentiment, shownig the ' progres-
sive spirit dominant, • will assure
the sale of bonds and construc-
tion of sewers without further
protests from those who saw fit
tc oppose the investment.
In every assembly, informally
at churches and social gatherings,
the expressed sentimetn prior to
the election proved the popularity
of the bond issue.
No element is due more credit
for this condition than the ladies,
who, headed by their Civic Club,
were consistant workers for a
sanitary system worthy of the
name.
TO Be Completed in January
Following the announcement of
the bond victory, Civil Engineer
Whitenack, of the firm of Millikin
and Whitenack, Oklahoma City,
who has designed the sewer sys-
tem, declared that the bands
that the bonds could be advertis-
ed and sold by November 15th.
It will require about 35 days to
make the money available. In
that period the advertisement for
bids for construction work will be
run and the contract let. White-
nack estimates about 85 working
days will be necessary to complete
the system. In some points in
the city heavy rock work will be
required in laying the mains,
which will slow down the con-
struction.
He declared by the middle of
January, with favorable weather,
the system will be completed.
It is the hope of the city coun-
cil and engineers that the con-
tract figures will be so low that
the money will be available to
drill an additional city water well
and make a substantial invest-
ment in fire fignting apparatus.
Bond Issue Notes
The Asher bond advocate who
ordered a car load of com cobs
for winter use, has cancelled the
order and will buy a bath tub.
Hals off to Asher women. While
few could vote, they created a
city-wide sentiment for progress
and sanitation.
It is estimated that the addi-
‘tional tax resulting for the is-
suance of bonds will not exceed
one dollar per thousand assessed
valuation.
The new councilmen, Hopkins |
and Louden, worked diligently for j
the bond issue, McCarter and Me-1
Kay, retiring councilmen were just |
as enthusiastic. The result is es-
pecially pleasing to them. They j
had the foresight to submit the j
question to a vote.
The next bond issue— next
year_ is tor a big city school j
system, and there won’t be 28
votes against it.
To the State health department:]

Asher’s sanitary condition by in-
serting “sewer bonds voted.
One of the 28 protestants re-
sided in a district not covered by
the contemplated sewer system.
It would have cost the city five
thousand dollars to accomodate

JOIN FRANCIS' SHOWS IT SHAWNEE CITIZENS PIT Mass Meeting Held
OZARK PARK ALL NEXT WEEK UP FIGNT ON 5-MILL LEVT To Boost 5-mill Levy
OKMULGEE, Sept., 17 (Spec-
ial)— In the first meeting since
they completed formulation of the
state’s basic law 22 years ago,
surviving members of the Okla-
homa constitutional convention
regaled themselves Tuesday with
remmescenses that ran gamut
from the serious to the comic.
That the law makers did not
consider their achievement as
completed was evidenced by
their adoption of a motion of
Federal Judge R. L. Williams of
Muskogee for the appointment of
a committee on constitutional
amendments which would confer
with the legislature or any other
body considering alteration of the
constitution.
The committee will consist of

Frank Owens, special represen-

the organization is now a twenty

one of the foremost amusement
enterprises in the country.

hotel organized to oppose the pro-

for October 15.
The meeting was attended by a
large number of citizens. Kib H.
Warren acted as chairman and
several citizens addressed the as-
sembly. The main trend of the
argument against the levy was
that it would almost double the
ing rides, “Whoopee” a fun house
that has only to be explored to
be appreciated, and “Hokum”
which is all that the word com-
plies—and then some.

A mass meeting of citizens of
llecumseh was held at he Court
House last Monday night for a
general discussion of ways and
means of voting the proposed 5-
mill levy for the new court house.
Commissioner Goar opened the
ini eting by stating its object and
explained that it was the voice
of the people over the county who
demanded the 5-mill levy instead
of a 20 or 25 year bond issue.
The bond issue, it was explained,
would cost the taxpayers twice
the amount desired for building
purposes. In other words if
$200,000 were voted on a bond
issue to run 23 years, the prin-
cipal and interest for that period
would be $400,000.
“It is not a question of which

The 5-mill levy is the only route
to go It is Hot a question of
location—that has also been set-

The only thing, it was pointed

immediately repeated its invita-
tion for the next convention. The
original convention was held at
Guthrie. Steps were taken to per-
petuate in history the activities
of the body which had laid the
foundation for state government.
Carlton Weaver, Wilburton edi-
tor, the youngest member of the
convention, and Judge Willaims
were appointed to assemble data
concerning the surviving and de-
ceased members for the state his-
torical society.
Tribute to Deceased
Much of the afternoon session
was devoted to eulogies of deceas-
ed members and memories of the
Convention. There were shaking
of voices as pioneer statesmen
paid tributes to colleagues who
had passed on during the inter-
vening years, there were gales of
merriment as old issues were re-
vived and debated, rancor having
departed. There were extended
eulogies of the late Miles Laster
president of the Wichita Federal
Land Bank and of Henry Asp,
a republican member who had a
prominent part in the framing of
the code. Every other deceased
member was lauded in turn by
Judge Williams.
The federal jurist reassumed in
good part his deference to Mur-

stressed by the meeting* It has
been argued by some that the

porations would protest their tax
and leave the burden on the small
house and that a bond issue would
be preferable as it would not I
place the direct burden on Mie^y, with jt

ed over a period of years.
E. C. Stanard made the open-
ing address. Stanard pointed out
that it would throw the bulk of
the burden on the present tax-
payer, while a bond issue would
not.
“If a five mill levy is added to
our present levy of six and one
quarter mills, the Pottawatomie
county taxpayer will be assessed
almost double the present rate,”
Stanard said, “Neither is the
levy practical from the stand-
point of law. It will not provide
adequately for the cost of a court
the big corporations protest and
win their case, then the small
taxpayer automatically is exclud-
ed.” This is now the law under
the Campbell Russell bill which
you probably remember. “So for-
get that old argument," said one
speaker.
The meeting voted to give the
chairman the power to appoint a
steering committee and fifteen
citizens were appointed. This
steering committee then selected
Hon. Clarence Robinson as cam-
paign manager. It also appoint-
ed a finance committee to raise
funds to conduct the campaign.
There were possibly 50 or 75
people present and not a dissent-
ing voice was heard. In fact
the chair asked if anyone present
objected to the 5-mill levy? Not
one objected.
“We have got to have a court
house” one speaker pointed out.
“that has been settled. Now that
the 5-mill levy has been decided
upon, it is now up to us to show
the people that this method is
the cheapest and best. We must
have a courthouse to protect our
valuable records. Look at those
cracks. Everybody realizes the
danger in this old building and
it is up to us to put this propo-
sition over.”
“This is not a courthouse fight”
said one speaker, “that question
is not up for discussion. The
only thing to do is to explain
tax-payer. “Everybody knows,” ] our plan to the people and I be-
explained one speaker, “that if j lieve it will go over.”

highways in south Pottawatomie
county is progressing rapidly un-
der the daily direction of County

only feasable solution of the mat-
ter is a bond issue.”
Charles E. Wells further advo-
cated that citizens organize and
defeat a plan which would bring
the assessments of a period of
years.
Commenting on the five mill
levy, Fred Reily, ctiy attorney,
discussed the issue from the stand-
point of the law.
“A suitable courthouse cannot
be built for $200,000 by a tax

Brands Tax Unjust
“It v’as indicated that it was
the plan of levy adherents to
‘tax the oil companies while pos-
sible’ said Buck. “This is not
only unjust but would bring
hardship to all of Pottawatomie
county. The impression that the
oil companies would pay the
greater part of the tax is just
a smoke screen, citizens of the
county must use their influence
to defeat such an unjust plan,”
George Kerfoot, W. F. Varnum
and others also urged organiza-
tion and cooperation of taxpayers
to defeat the levy.
Kib Warren was named chair-
man of the drive and Tom Wald-
rep was appointed campaign man-
ager. W. F. Varnum was appoint-
