TO THE VOTERS OF
CIMARRON COUNTY
Please take notice to the condition
that the county is now in. Since the
year of 1914. when Mr. Stringfield
was County Attorney and turned ov-
er the books to 1. E. Hill, our taxca
were at that time, $8.00 to $11.00 per
quarter and now they are more than
double that amount. And there 18
more than one million acres more of
school land on the tax roll now than
v hen Mr. Stringfield turned the
books over to I. E. Hill at Boise City,
Oklahoma If I. E Hill succeeds in
holding the office again, our taxes
will still be $5,000 or $6,000 more to
pay this salary grab.

At a special meeting of the City
Council Monday night, a petition was
filed asking for a referendum of the
city on the subject of abolishing pool
halls in Guymon. It appearing that
a sufficient number of citizens had
signed the petition, a special election
to~vote on this matter was called for
Nov. 16th. For the past few years j
Guvmon has had one pool hall and so ;
far we are able to observe, it has
been well conducted. The editor has
never patronized a pool hall, has nev- j
er lingered in one but a few minutes ,
when transacting business, and would
not presume to judge of its merits or ]
demerits. Probably it is well for the
people to vote on this proposition.
And would it not be well for the peo-
ple who have brought the matter up
to provide some wholesome amuse-
ment to entertain the young farmer*
and the floating population that have
hours to spend in town. We have of-
ten thought that people sincerely op-
pose privately conducted places of
amusement should spend a part of
their wealth in helping to aflord nucn
places of amusement as they will ap-
prove The humble Nazerine prayed
"lead 'us not into temptation, but de-
liver us from evil' and admonish -is
to judge not. lest ye be judged —
