More Facts and Figures ior the
Tax Payers to Ponder on.
WE AGREE
BROlfeTON
We consider the following fncts and figures of interest to the taxpayers
of the Anadarko school district.
For the yenr 1903 there wns e levy of 6 mills for school purpose which
produced o revenue of $7911.40. For the year 1009 the levy was 11 mills
producing for school purposes interest and sinking fund $17779.51 In other
words incroaslng our school taxes in the sum of $9S0S.U4. It will be argued
that the increased revenue was necessary to provide tho interest nmt sinking payer?
fund for the"50000 school bond indebtedness. Wo understand the fntorest
on tho $50000 to be G pot cent which if true would require $3000 per yoar
to pay tho interest and we understand the bond is to run for n period of 20
years and under the law thern must be provided a sinking fund of one
twentieth of this amount $2500 yearly to meet this bonded indebtedness
which tn tho aggregate would have required an additional levy over 190S
of $5500.
Now the question suggests itself "why was it necessary to make a
lovy producing tho sum of $4363 more to maintain the schools in 1909 than
it did in 1903?" This Mr Taxpayer is a mattor for your consideration and
careful investigation then decide whether proper economy has been practised
in the handling of the Taxpayer's money.
If the facts and figutes which wo havo been unable to gt from those
in charge would show that this extra amount of money is now in tho hands
hope will give a full and complete account of receipts and expenditures.
What can the raxpnylng public expect with the proscnt annual increase
in the cost of school mnlntei.ance and the old school board attempting to
advnnc the salary of a certain tenrher nt the rnlo of $200 per yenr and eon-

RAILROAD GOSSIP
There is considerable railroad build-
ing talk in this section of Oklahoma
nt the present time andllinton is com-
ing in for her share. Last Friday the
officers of tho Ft. Smith & Western

proposed route from EIReno to Dill

tho year 1903 the school board rented a number of buildings to accommodate j where they will intersect their line
tho pupils of the city schools which necessitated an outlay nf multiplied
hundreds of dollars during the school term. That expense has been elimin-
ated for the 1909 term with the exception of one or two cheap buildings and
the majority of our Bchool children have been accomodated in our own build-
ings and the sums heretofore puid for reut havo been directed into other
channels for tho year 1909. The tax-paying public will remember that the
Democrat has called attention to tho needless expenditure and absolute dis-
regard of tho interests of tho people by the school board. We were orom-
ised an auditing of school board accounts by the old board which never
materialized. The now board has appointed an auditing committee which Wb
