Some Thoughts
For the Voters
Tomorrow
Ardmoreite: Kirk Dyer who re-
lumed a gliort time ago from Ne-
braska draws -a comparison between
Nebraska and Oklahoma that should
be interesting to the people ot Carter
county. He says the lands In Nebras-
ka sell tor $100 an acre that they do
not produce more than the lands here
and have not produced bo well this
year but the farmers have good homes
are surrounded with fine stock and
ride in automobiles. Mr. Dyer says
their prosperity la due to diversifica-
tion. Every farmer there has a milk
chock coming each month. Some of
them receive $30 anfl as high as $1"0
a month far their milk. lie says a
creamery forage crops and a few good
cows will do for this country what it
lias done for Nebraska..
In this connection it will be inter-
esting to know how niair r-rsons are
gathering herds of milk cattle in prep-
aration for the building here of a
creamery plant. H. II. Brown has a
number of Jersey cattle and has an
ideal dairy farm near town and will
contribute toward the support of a
creamery; I'elix J. King makes it a
part of thi l.usinos of his farm to
raise and sell Jrscy cattle and he will
be In a position to begin the sale of
cream thi; day the creamery opens;
O. K. T'aiden bui a few Jersey cattle
and i preened '- f'd to his herd at
any liini : Dr. Dc v Taylc has a herd
of reid-terul Jer.- -y entile on his farm;
Walter Colbert ii w ( per. tes a cream-
ery of his own cn a si.:al! scale on
his farm iiii'l will be a Valuable patron
of the wameiy. There are dozens of
oihir farmers ncur here who are ready
to equip their fims with. a few dairy
:ittl- iif soon as there is a market
for their milk and ca-am.
f Not Questioner.

(Communicated.)
Concerning the proposed new char-
ter and the expense Jn connection
therewith provided a satisfactory in-
strument Is framed the following facts
are submitted: Ch. 12 Art. 11 Sue.
857 provides "When any city shall
have adopted a charter the legislative
authority of same shall provide for the
payment of the expenses of the board
of freeholders Incurred In framing such
charter including clerical assistance
not to exceed $3.00 per day."
This is construed by competent at-
torneys to mean eny reasonable com-
pensation for eight freeholders not to
exceed ninety days each including
clerical assistance at not to exceed $:!
per day. Presuming that the freeholder
receives no more than the allowance
for clerical assistance $3 per day
would make $2160 plus $270 for cleri-
cal help or an expenditure of $2430
for framing the charter.
After the charter Is written and con-
curred in by a majority of the free
holders the law provides that the same
shall be published "twenty-one days in
a daily or three weeks in a weekly pa-
per and not sooner than twenty days
nor later than thirty days after such
publication said charter shall be sub-
mitted to the peopje of said city at an
election and If a majority of those
voting shall ratify same and it be not
in conflict with the law the governor
shall approve it and thereupon it shall
become the organic law of such city."
This means two elections at $100
each at least also the publication of
the charter at a probable expense of
$75 or a total expense of approximate-
ly $3000.
The present administration having
a large "volume of business on account
of public improvements- has cost for
legislative and executive departments
councils (salaries) not to exceed $000
per year mayor's salary $900 per year
or a total of $1500.
A charter providing for three com-
missioners and a mayor at salaries that
would command and obtain the best re-
sults would probably provide for $2.oiifl
per year for each or a cog of $S000
a difference of $G.."00 plus the cost of
securing charter $3000 a total ot $!.-
500 increased expense that must be
provided for from some source. It is
the general opinion that thee com-
missioners could effect a saving In the
administration of the various depart-
ments. Could they save the above
amount in the ordinary administration
of affairs in a city of 11000 population?
If not what will happen to the credit of
the'eity? We must remember that next
year we will have the interest and
sinking fund to pay on $190000 addi-
tional bonds for water and sewer just
being completed. This will be $17100
added to the $9500 for charter govern
ment making the increase $26600.
The county excise board has reduced
the net revenue derived from taxation
to less than it was last year. With this
increased expense can city warrants
be maintained at par as they have been
during .this administration?
Is It not well to consider the matter
thoroughly always remembering that
if a charter is framed that is endorsed
by the people this additional expense
will have to be paid? There is abso-
lutely nothing in the statement of a
certain paper that there; is no expense
connected with the experiment and if
wet get something we don't like we
can vote it down and not be loser.

NEW ORLEANS LA.
Guthrie Okla. Sept. 14. Attorney
General West has prepared and for-
warded to the secretary of state the
ballot title for the "railroad building"
constitutional amendment initiated by
resolution of the 1909 legislature.
This question is one of the two init-
iated by the legislature to be voted on
November 8 and one of the five initi-
ated questions now pending. The
other four are the woman suffrage
amendment the corporation school tax
amendment and Senator Russell's
"New Jerusalem." The latter how-
ever is generally conceded to have
been eliminated by the June 11 capital
election.
The "railroad building" amendment
is proposed to alleviate the difficulty
of selling domestic railroads under
the constitution as at present an4
thus stimulate the building of lines
within the state by promoters or towns
who wput railroads and who have the
money to build but have neither the
capital nor inclination to operate. A
the big systems are always willing to
buy these short lines and can operate
them at a profit in connection with
their entire system when the local pro-
moters could operate them only at a
loss the legislature recognized the ne-j
cessity of a market for such domestic
roads. Tnder the present railroad sec-
t:on of the constitution foreign cor-
porations or systems that is railroad
systems Incorporated in other states
than Oklahoma are forbidden to ac-
quire lines built within the state. It
is this defect that the proposed amend-
ment will remedy.
The amendment proposed Includes
all he good and none of the bad of
the "Article 9" amendment initiated
by the railroads themeslves and so
signally rejected by the people June
11 last.
' The ballot title prepared by the at-
torney general is as follows:
"The purpose of this measure is to
amend the constitution of Oklahoma
by adding in lieu of section 9 a new
settion authorizing railroad companies
transportation and transmission com-
panies organized under the laws of
the state of Oklahoma to consolidate
with like companies organized under
the laws of any other state or of the
United States but provides that such
companies shall not thereby become
foreign corporations and provide fur-
ther that the state courts of Oklahoma
shall retain Jurisdiction In all contro-
versies that may arise as though the
consolidation had not taken place."
set foot in the hotel end when they
pay bill there is no need for them to
put their hands into their pockets to
tip anybody.
Although the rule against tipping Is
rigidly enforced by the management
there have been visitors who have in-
sisted upon offering gratuities. ' In or-
der to protect the servants from temp-
tation the management has had to re-
quest these visitors either to abide by
the regulations or to seek accommoda-
tion elsewhere.
The management has had no diffi
culty in securing plenty of waiters and
chamber maids despite the fact that
they receive no tips.

London Sept. 3 4. The experiment
jof a non-tip hotel In the Strand In Lon-
j don hag proved a success. Since the
I establishment was opened a year ago
(there has not been a vacant bedroom
a record which could not be equaled
' hy any Loudon hotel. Every day the
managenrent has had to turn away
guests. Nearly a quarter of a million
guesls have stayed at the hotel In the
34 days it has been open.
The success of the hotel the .direc-
tors believe Is mainly due to the nou-
tlp rule. Guests are forbidden to of-
fer any esrvant of the hotel a gratuity
end servants found accepting them are
dismissed. People know exactly what
It Is going to cost them before they
Chicago Sept. 14. Six republican
members of the Ballinger investigating
committee met here yesterday and is-
sued a statement condemning the ac-
tion of the four democratic and onc-
"republican Insurgent" members who
delivered a report at .Minneapolis last
Wednesday demanding the retirement
from office of Secretary Ballinger.
Those present were: Seuatora Nel-
son Sutherland and Root and Con-
gressmen .McCall Chnsted and Denhy.
They declared the action of what they
termed the "minority" at .Minneapolis
to have been "according to the worst
methods of ward politics."
The evidence In the Ballinger case
was discussed but in the absence of a
quorum they state no action on the
case Itself was possible. It was report-
ed that Senator Nelson had authority
to act for Senator Flint who Is a mem-
ber of the committee but who Is In
Europe. This could not. be confirmed
but in any event no attempt was made
to use the alleged proxy. 'Adjournment
was taken subject to call of the chair-
man Senator Nelson. As the "minori-
ty" declined to attend today's confer-
ence and took their adjournment at
Minneapolis until the next meeting of
congress It is probable that Senator
Nelson will not call another meeting
i until the return of Senator Flint who
as the seventh member would make a
quorum.

CATARRH
A SYSTEMIC ELCQ3 DISEASE
Catarrh is not merely au affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-Keated blood disteasc in which the
entire circulation and greater part ol
the system are involved. It is more
commonly manifested id the head
nose and throat because of the seasii
live nature of these membranes anj
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca-
tarrh such as a tight feeling in the
head nose stopped up throat clogged
and dry hacking cough etc. show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu-
cous membranes are badly congestej
and inflamed from the impurities ia
the circulation. To cure CaUrrh per
nmnently the blood must be pmitied
and the system cleansed of all un-
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks
the disease at lt3
