Interest this week Is centering
around State Question No. 109. to
I lio voted on next Tuesday and which
is better known as the "6 Mill
or More Levy."

I matter and some Investigation as

of school benefit The Herald feels
wo are serving tho best Interost
of tho already tax ridden cltlzons
of this county when we advise
I fhem to vote "NO" on thia nmend-
j ment.
At first thought it seemed that
tho passage of auch a measure
might prove beneficial to our coun
ty for wo had in mind tho rich oil
districts of other parts of the state
and tho rich agricultural lands or
t the central portion however after
t Investigating our county valuation
and bur scholastic population we
find that Instead ol bcnoflting
tho schools of Beaver county 1.
voting "yes" on this amendment
we virtually rob the school chil-
dren of the county of some $30-
000.00 at Wio least calculation flg-
urging on a six mill levy and If
those In authorlt soe 'fit to levy
tho full ton mills as would be
authorized should tho amendment
cairy it would mean Just that
much more In addition to the
$30000.00.

lioartlly In "ivor or education and.
when we say education wo m-wii

to $50000.00 to othei countios or
I the state who are Just an able to
I cduoato their chlldron as are tho
1 taxpayers of Heaver county? If so
vote "yes"' on State Question No.
103. On the other hand it you
want to keep Beaver county school
money at homo to educate Beaver
county boys and girls the future
men and women and home makers
of Beaver county then voto "NO"
on the amendment.
This paper lb heartily In favor
of voting nil the school tax that
in necessary to adequately support
our scboolB and decently pay our
teachers. Wo aro also In favor of
seeing'' that our schools are In turn
properly conducted and teachers aro
competent. If the present maxi
mum school levy is not sufficient
to conduct our schools we aro In
t favor of an amendment or law
which will permit us as ttchool
j districts to voto every dollar that
. is required but wo aro not In favor
of any of this stato administered
school tax.
Beaver school district would pro-
fit by the adoption of this amend-
ment for the reason that our schol-
astic population Is greater In pro-
portion to our valuation. Other
towns In tho county might also
profit by tho adoption of the
amendment but tho rural school
districts would certainly suffer. Iu
It fair to penalize tho rural districts
for tho benefit of tho town schools?
Wo think not. Tho towns aro able
to support their schools and after
talking to a number of tho leading
cltlzons of Beaver we find that
this town as a taxpaylng people
aro not In favor of this attempt to
rob the children of tho country
schools of Beaver county.
If this amendment carries thou-
sands of dollars will go from tho
counties of tho stato Into tho state
treasury at Oklahoma City somo
part of which will be returned to
tho countlca paying the tax but
there will bo a largo loss of admin-
istering tho fund. Tho stato takes
ono dollar from every ten collected

y go por cent. of all tho money paid

i rcasonablo to presumo that It will

ties of Southern Oklahoma when

want the money you for school pur

LAST MINUTK ATTACK ON IIAHD-
1NCJ It hntr been brought to tho at-
tention of The Herald that tho
Democratic Stato Campaign Commit-
tee Ib spreading propaganda thru-
out the wheat belt this week pur-
porting to contain the attitude of
Senator Harding but his position
Is being grossly misrepresented. The
senator's attltudo on this question
Is too well known for any such
clap-trap as Is being prepared to
fool the wheat farmers of Beaver
county Kver wheat farmer known
that Senator Harding voted for
$2.60 wheat In fact the senator
has stood pat on every proposition
affecting the farmer and voted In
his Interest The thing that Is now
affecting tho wheat farmers Ib that
the Wilson administration through
tho Federal Heserve Banks ha
withdrawn credit to tho what
farmers thereby preventing him
from holding his wheat thus forc-
ing him to sell nt prices less thai:
cost of production.
Fay no attention to this eleventh
hour clap-trup. It Is only designed
to fool tho honest farmer and a'
tempt to prcjudlco him against Sen
ator Harding tho farmer's friend
Think well before you cast your
vote against the senator. Consider
the price you aro now being of-
fered from your wheat maize and
Kafir. Ih Senator Harding to blniM
for today's grnln prices? If lib )
owori to Bocuru tor you .au io-
your wheat had been successlul
would you now bo compelled to
take this slump?
