DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK By E. R. Waite, Secretary Shawnee, Okla., Board of Commerce No. 2 T H A T some people knock whether there is anything to knocK about or not. Some of them just knock for something to do. T H A T there is the chronic knocker who just keeps doing the only thing he knows he can do well, he knocks morning, noon and night. Somebody should jar the knock out .of him. T H A T there are many different kinds of knockers. T H A T there is the occasional knocker. T H A T knocking hurts the home city when people take it seriously. They should Oftimes he is a busy man and during work ing hours he doesn’t have time to knock, but only does it in the spare time, pay no attention to knockers. Never before in its history has Jacksonville been better able to serve as the county seat. Practically everyone has access to an auto and Jacksonville is on a paved highway which connects with all portions of the county by hard surfaced roads. Yet Medford wants the taxpayers to vote to move the court house to that city and thereby add very heavily to your financial burdens. Ever since the dawn of history the strongs have oppressed and crushed the weak. This is the attitude which Medford is assuming in their demands for the county seat. Jacksonville is a small city and Medford is large. They want to take from Jacksonville to add to their already greater portion. And they want the taxpayers of this county to foot the bills. Are you going to do it friends? Are you going to dig down deep into your pockets and aid in this imperialistic move on the part of Medford? Think long and concentratively upon this question. We want you to be fair with yourself and fair with Jack* sonville. , ^ ^ , When you do, you will see the folly of a move we are sure. If you do, be sure and vote to retain the county seat at Jacksonville. Such a vote will mean the saving of many dollars to you. T H A T there is another class, the kicker. T H A T often when they kick they have a good reason. T H A T kickers who do not kick for the sake of kicking, but kick good and hard when the home city boosters go to sleep on the job, are the kind of kieqers that do some good. EVERBODY SHOULD KICK AND KICK GOOD AND HARD WHEN THE COMMUNITY REQUIRES IT. Copyright 1925 Save Your Tax Money For a More Useful Purpose!
