THE SHAWNEE NEWS HERALD
THE GOVERNOR ON TAXES.
Governor Cruce talked very plainly
and sincerely to the democrats of Ok-
lahoma City the other day about tax
matters and we print hlB speech In
full todny for the benefit of our read-
ers who have been inclined to lay all
of the blame for high taxes on the
state administration and the legisla-
ture. The governor points out where
state expenses can be lopped off and
economy promted in all departments,
but he puts his finger on the chief
cause for high taxes when he places
It upon the extraordinary expenses
that have been incurred for district,
municipal and county development
and improvement. We want all the
luxuries of modern life—they have be-
come almost necessities to the pres-
ent progressive generation, and we
must pay the fiddler when we dance.
Palatial ward and bl^b schools; city
cwned waterworks, sewerB, conven-
tion halls and hospitals; miles of
etreet paving, lights, fire and police
protection cost money, but the man
who would oppose them would be
classed as a "knocker' and be run out
of town.
In the counties we must have roads
^"d bridges, grand juries lllld ?. cease
1eJ8 grind of the courts to separate the
sheep from the goats and these things
a'i cost money, and more money every
year. The people demand them and
The Wilson champions are charg-
ing that Clark, Harmon, TTnderwood
and other candidates are all combined
against the Jerseyinan. Very natural-
ly. The Wilson men have claimed ev-
erything and every state from the be
ginning of the campaign and the other
candidates would be very foolish If
they did not temporarily pool their is-
sues, or rather allow their friends to
do ao In order to keep the winsome
Woodrow from winning out with a
plurality. The man who gets the dem-
ocratic nomination will have to have
two-thirdB of all the delegates and he
has to get them against a combined
and ably officered field. If Clark were
the leading candidate he would have
to front the field and if Harmon were
in front he would find a solid field
arrayed against him. Outside of the
manifest concession that Wilson Is
now in the lead the alignment of the
friends of the other candidates has no
materia] bearing.

In trying to fulfill its mission as
a newspaper The News-Herald neces-
sarily publishes a great deal of local
and political matter that In no way re-
flects Its sentiments and much of
"which is not even prepared In the of-
fice or written by employes of the
paper. Some or our readers hRVe been
unable to convince themselves that
the Interviews and quotations pub-
lished In the new's and local columns
the people get them and Just as the were not the expression of The News-
governor says, they must be paid for
by the people. If we want all these
things and order them we must pay
and no amount of slde-BteppIng or
laying It on the officers or administra-
tion will obliterate the fact that we
as citizens are responsible for nine
tenths of the onerous burdens of
which we complain. Governor Cruce
Is no casuist; he does not dlBgulse tue
plain, homely, unpalatable truth that
taxes will continue to be high until
we cut down expenses locally as well
as In tha stale at large. He makeB it
plain that we cannot develop this
great state at the high pressure rate
of the past decade without having to
contribute to the tax gaLherer some
thing extra for the y-wrs of waiting
we have missed.
The governor's speech will help to
clear the atmosphere. It shows that
he Is not dodging any responsibility
on the part of the administration or
the state board of equalization, it
shows, also, that he knows pretty well
who got the lion's share of the bene-
fits for which bonds were voted and
■for which taxes must continue to be
levied and that the governor is con-
vinced that the way to reduce taxes
is for the taxpayers to stop up the big
leaks that are nearest to them first.

The News-Herald to glad that

eluded that It 1s both wiser and safer
to follow the plain letter of the law
and the decisions of the court in to
morrow's primary election. It is clear
now, as The News-Herald said on Sat-
urday, that the charges rumored
the Btreet that the democratic city
committee or the administration
would In any way antagonize the hold
ing of the primary election by the
county election board, was wholly un
true and were being circulated to
prejudice the voters against certain
candidates. That Is dirty politics and
ought to revert In favor of the men
attacked rather than to redound In fa
vor of those who would originate and
spread such a report. The vote tomor
row should be a large one. Every man
In the city Is Interested In good gov-
ernment and the time to lay the foun-
dation for good government is In the

you will vote for the men whom you
believe will give us the best possible

ANENT THAT JOHNSTON STORY.
Editor NewB-Herald:
In the Saturday's issue of The News-
llerald Mr. Willard Johnston In his po-
litical announcement makes state-
ments which are so much at variance
with the facts that as clerk of the
board of education I wtoh to make a
statement.
Mr. Johnston takes all the credit for
a reduction In our electric light bills
at the high school. The facts in this
case are as follows; Not a cent has
been paid to the gas and electric com-
pany since last November. At the reg-
ular meeting in December the board
refused to pay the bill of the gas com-
pany because It was considered exor-
bitant. At this meeting Mr. Johnston
was not even present. At a meeting
on January 19th the board again unan-
imously refused to pay the gas and
electric bill and the president appoint-
ed a committee, composed of John-
ston, Alexander and Edgin to investi-
gate the matter and report back to the
board. Mr. Johnston being chairman
of this committee sliould have called
them together and made the Invest!
gation as directed. The facts are,
however, that he did nothing what
ever. No meeting of the committee
being called. I personally notified Mr.
John A. Williams of the gas company
that unless the bills were reduced the
board would not pay them without a
lawsuit. Mr. Williams then went In
person to the high school and in com-
pany with Principal H. L. Hall in-
spected the meters and the readings
and discovered the error. Mr. Wil-
liams then came to me and stated that
corrected bill would be filed with
the board at once, which would show
that since the opening of the high
school there had been an error of
$412, which was deducted from the
bills. Mr. Johnston had nothing
whatever to do with the adjustment
of this matter and was not even aware
of It until after It was completed.
Mr. Johnston charges the board with
extravagance, and takes credit for all
honesty and economy. The records
show that out of the twenty-one meet-
ings which the present board has held
Mr. Johnston has been absent from
ten. Mr. Johnston haB opposed at all
times th manual training and domestic
science departments in the high
school. He has striven ror economy
in that he has made determined at-
tempts to cut the school term to seven
months, thus saplng two months' sal-
ary. At one of the first meeting he
attended he fought to reduce the
school term and was only prevented
from doing so by the united opposition
of the other members of the board.
At our last meeting, on March 4th.
Mr. Johnston demanded that the term
be closed at the end of the present
Behool month and threatened that his
bank would quit cashing teachers war-
rants, although they have on deposit
something like $40,000 of our school
funds. Respectfully,
R. L ALEXANDER,
Clerk Board of Education,

REPLY TO MR. JOHNSTON.
To the Patrons of the High School:
Mr. Johnston's letter In Saturday's
News-Herald indirectly makes my
management of the high school an is-
sue in the school campaign in the sec-
ond ward. He seeks to have the pub-
lic believe that an era of extravagance
prevails, which he has vainly tried to
check. He takes sole credit for secur-
ing a reduction in electric bills, and
evidently expects the public to jump
to th conclusion that Bomeone has
been guilty of some extreme crooked-
ness in collusion with the officials
of the gas plaut.
I have been given such latitude In
the management of the high school
that 1 can not take the credit for Its
good points without shouldering the
blame for its defects.
I wtoh most emphatically to deny
any charge of wastefulness or extrav-
agance, carelessness or crookedness,
in the management of the high scbool
since I have been In charge. It mat-
ters not whether the charge to made
direct or by implication; whether
made in good faith, or for the sake
of making political capital, I resent It
In language as vigorous as my limited
vocabulary affords.
In regard to the gas, or rather elec-
tric bill, the clerk first called my at-
tention to the size of the bills early
in the year, and I told him emphatic-
ally that we were not using so much
electricity, and that there was certain-
ly some error. Some weeks later Mr.
Johnston also complained of the size
of the bills, but did not leave the im-
pression that he thought the bills were
wrong, but that we were uBing too
much electricity, and seemed to lay
the size of the bills to the manual
training department. I informed him,
as I had done the clerk, that there
was surely some error in the meter
readings, or the meter. I think the
board appointed a committee to inves-
tigate, and as a result Mr. Williams
of the gas and electric company came
to the high school, when he and I went
over the matter. It did not take him
long to see where the error lay. We
have two meters, one for light and one
for power. One of these reads with-
out use of a constant, while the other
multiplies by ten. The reader had put
the constant with the wrong meter,
an error easy to make and easily cor-
rected, and I am glad to state that the
company required no coercion in the
matter, but cheerfully made the cor-
rection. Mr. Johnston's attempt to put
me In a bad light or to make capital
for himself out of the incident, puts
him in a class far beyond the man
who tried to make a mountain out of
a molehill.
eLt the public not be deceived. Mr.
Johnston's new management or the
high school would not save by proper
economical measures. What it would
do would be to abolish some of the
modern and practical departments. It
Is a matter of common knowledge that
he has more than once expressed him-
self as opposed to having manual
training, domestic science, etc., in the
high school.
We all agree that the old high
school, giving only the Latin course,
Is cheaper than the modern school.
One reason is found In the fact that
(ewer pupils attend, hence fewer
teachers are required. The addition of
the commercial, manual training and
domestic departments necessitates a
larger expense. These are the
branches : .at make the high school
most valuable to Its pupils. True, the
man of means can send his children
away to other schools for these
branches, but the child of the average
citizen must get them at home or do
without them. The boys and girls of
the humblest citizen of Shawnee are
entitled to the best here at home.
Saving money by the elimination of
these features of the high school is too
much like saving the seed necessary
to plant a field—the seed can be
saved, to be Bure, but what of the
harvest. If such men have charge of
the planting in the school field, you
will realize that certain forms of sav-
ing are very wastful in the long run
As Mr. Johnston has thus drawn the
line, It to easy for the friends of the
high school to know how to vote. The
mere question as to whether I or some
one else manage the high school Is
really a matter of relatively minor
importance. I am free to say frankly
that I do not deBlre to remain against
the wishes of the patrons of the
school. Neither do I desire to remain
If the standard of the school is to be
lowered in keeping with Mr. John
ston's Ideals. The real Issue Is, "Shall
the high school be what it to today,
the pride of the citizens, the admira-
tion of all visitors, and the envy of
our neighbors, or whether it shall be
cheapened and lowered In usefulness
In order to swell the bank deposits.
I have always been taught to beware
of the man who Is trying to give you
something for nothing; also to bo
leary of him who asks you to let him
sacrifice himself in the cause of the
ilear public. Re assured, that when
tho final reckoning Is had, he has a
very dull ax to grind on the public
grindstone, and moreover, wants the
public to turn for him. It seems to
me that a member of the board of ed-
ucation, who by the records has been
absent from ten out of twenty-one
meetings, should hot harp so loudly
about serving the public in future.

FLUKE MAKES REPLY TO WAHL'S
LETTER.
Shawnee, Okla., March 17, 1912.
Mr. A. J. Fluke, Shawnee, Okla.
Dear Sir;—On the day after you
filed with the county election board as
candidate for member of the board of
education from the second ward, you
in a conversation with me stated that
you were a Glen man, and favored his
retention as superintendent of the
sc-iiooto of Shawnee.
1 knew at that time that Mr. Lydick
made your filing with the county elec-
tion board for you and also know that
you have been in close consultation
during this brief campaign with Mr.
Glen and his lieutenants
You may imagine my surprise when
learned today that numerous of your
friends were representing to the vot-
ers of the second ward that you are
opposed to Mr. Glen and in favor of
a new head for our schools system.
Mr. Wllllard Johnston is running
strictly on an anti-Glen ticket and
would not have entered the field for
nomination against you but for your
announcement to me. The voters of
the second ward together with all ot
the citizens of Shawnee, are entitled
to know where you stand. There is
no room for independence on this
subject, either in the primary or in
the election that is to follow. The
lines are tightly drawn and you will
sooner or later be compelled to an-
nounce your position.
Knowing you as I do I am sure
that you will not resort to any subter-
fuge or evasion but will announce ex-
actly where you stand.
May I ask that you favor me with a
written reply to this letter before Mon-
day, the 18th, at 10 o'clock a. m.
Very respectfully yours,
J. H. WAHL,
Member School Board.
J. H. Wahl, Attorney at Law,
Shawnee, Okla.
My Dear Sir:—To answer your let-
ter of the 17th (Sunday), and thereby
be permitted to make my position
clear, gives me much pleasure.
Careful observation of the develop-
ment of our splendid school system
during the past eight years under the
continuous superintendency of Prof.
Glen has created in my mind the opin-
ion that you voted right on the tenth
day of last April when you cast your
ballot favorable to the re-election of
Prof. Glen as superintendent of our
city schools, as Is shown at page 211 of
the records of the board.
However, having been able during
my residence in this city to avoid all
political alignments and personal dif-
ficulties, no malice, prejudice or ill-
will exist to warp my judgment in
this matter. I have no prejudice to-
wards Prof. Glen, no personal favors
owing to him. My vote on this ques-
tion will be cast as my conscience
and judgment say the best interests
of our school children demand. With
the Information now before me, I
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1912
when any lawyer 1b the city would
have gladly brought It for half that
amount
If elected a member of the board I
would alio Inquire as to why you and
your firm acted as attorneys to put
through the bond issue for the board
and why It was that you antedated the
bonds to November 1st, although you
did not get the money until March
10th, so that the school district had to
over on* thousand dollars in In
terest for which It received no con-
sideration. I shall also inquire as to
what fees you and your firm received
from this bonding company in repre-
senting the bonding company in its re-
lations with the board of which you
are a member, and who got this $1000
back interest.
I would try always to vote for what
I thought was right and if I joined
with the board in purchasing school
sites and cast my voice and vote for
that purpose, I would not thereafter
turn state's evidence and plead ignor-
ance for an act which I admitted to
be wrong. Neither would I oppose
the purchase of sites for the school for
the mere reason that it would take
school funds from the bank of which
I was president. I would endeavor to
attend more meetings of the board
than eleven out o ftwenty-one and to
keep acquainted with the condition of
afairs and vote the dlctaces of my
conscience and my judgment.
I am strongly in favor of the prac-
tical courses such as manual training,
domestic science and the commercial
work, and shall, if elevted a member of
the board, oppose In all my power
their elimination.
While I have given you my present
opinions, I am pledged and promised
to no man or set of men, and If elected
shall vote and act for the best In-
terests of the taxpayers and the city
of Shawnee.
Yours truly,
A. J. FLUKE.

When one contemplates the bewild-

the continual agitation of still more
changes, he comes to the conclusion
that the Code of Medes and the Per-
sians had its compensation after all.
A bunch of Republican delegates
from the first congressional district
came to the state convention with in-
structions for Roosevelt, indorsements
for Taft and felicitations for Bird Mc-
Guire. That's what might be called
catholicity of sympathy.
