Stark County Roads

In q letter to the Dunn County News,
A. A. Leiderback of Oakdale makes a
plea for good roads in this. vicinity.
Among other things he said:
Bringing the question right home
to ourselves, for example, we Dunn
county people. especially from the
northwestern part, have considerable
business to transact in the metropolis
of Stark county. 1t is our shipping
point and only market for our produce.
1t is a long road from the Kildeer
mountains and takes three or four days
to make the return trip. Expenses r
heavy so in order to make it pay we
are Obliged to load very heavy, which
we a comfortably do until, we get
almost into the city of Dickinson.
where we are confronted with a mouns
tain to descend at about As degrees and
the way we 60 through space for 80 or
40 rods with all the wheels locked would
scare an automobile to death. should
there be one in sight. Coming this way
it would be an utter impossibility to
climb the grade with more than half
of what we could handle on the balance
of the road, which is not an ideal one
by any means. Who would call this a
feasible route? There was a route at
one time around this mountain that
was practical but it has been closed up.
Another feature of the new proposed
plan that we like is that the road taxes
are paid in cash as other taxes and the
taxpayer can work out the amount of
his taxes if he desires to do so, if not
a man is hired to work them out in his
stead. This gives the road overseer a
opportunity to discharge a lazy nine
o'clock man and put a ten-hour man in
his place. and anyone found Sinking his
duty. as is generally the custom under
the present system, a be immedi
ately discharged but his district will
receive the benefit of his taxes As it
is now the paid road tax goes into the
county road and bridge fund, and the
district from whence it came gets moth
ing unless the commissioners see fit to
have it spent on roads in that district.
This is a very important feature and
we hope it is in the measure as there is
no where the farmer likes to tell big
stories to kill time better than when
working out his road tax.
In conclusion will say that l hope the
Stark county people will not wait for
the new sytem to come into vogue but
get busy and make hay while the sun
still shines, and don't hinder US from
coming into town head first.
1 want to state further that l am
voicine the sentiments of the Oakdale
farmers in respect to the Dickinson
road"

PROBABLE REcoMMENOATIo
BY STATE BANKING BOARD TO
LEGISLATURE AMENDING LAW
TO PREVENT OvERSTOCkING
Attorney General West Would Have
the Plan Follow the Idea Advanced
by William J. Bryan, Limit Cap
ital to a Given Population.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. Sin view Of
the recent decision Of the supreme
court the state banking board will
probably recommend that the legisla
ture amend the law to allow a limit
to the number of state banks in
each community. 1t is not believed
this can be- accomplished by a direct
method, but may be by limiting the
amount OF bank capital to given
population. The restriction would
prevent communities becoming over
stocked with banks, and at the same
time render the privilege more val
liable.
Changes recommended by Attorney
General West contemplate revision
Of the banking law to follow what
is known as the Bryan plan" that
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1909-01-06

Is. for the state to guarantee the
deposits and levy a tax against the
banks 20 sustain the insuring fund,
or. To guarantee the state against
loss in cases Of bank failures. As it
now Is the state forces collection
OF the assessments. merely standing
sponsor for the guaranty fund and
agreeing it shall be resortcd to only
in event a failed bank can not pay
out. Mr.. West points out that as far
as Oklahoma is concerned the bank
guarantee idea was born" when
bankers met in Baltimore about four
teen years ago, and taking up the
Bryan idea, evolved a plan that was
closely similar to that of the Fowler
bill introduced in the last congress.
and, he says, was then generally
indorsed by both classes of bankers.
In that case, however, the circulation
as well as deposits were TO be af
fected by the insurance
The attorney general shows that
the Bryan idea is not unconstitution-
al anl refers TO the South Carolina
railroad commission law as a case
in point. There the state created a
railroad commission. the expense and
operation and maintenance being
met by tax levied against the rail.

law was upheld both in the state
and the United States courts. Hat
Oklahoma followed that idea. he I'm.
sists. the law would have been safer
from attacl, i'm the United States
court where it is now pending. and
if it is held invalid. he believes,
It will be upon the theory that the
state has no right to compel mu.
tual insurance Of deposits by bank
ers.
In support of his idea of taXationl
Mr.. West refers to one state that

levies special tax upon sea-going
vessels when they touch the wharvos

their families. If they are killed in
line of duty another state taxing
insurance companies for the benefit
OF injured firemcn and third that
taxes dogs to reimburse owners
whose sheep have been killed by
dogs-all of which he shows have
passed through the courts and been
declared valid
There is clause in the oklahoma
constitution that permits the state to
engage in any business when the
welfare of the people is involved
save that of agriculture. and Mr.
West shows that with such authority
there would be question about the
legality o. Oklahomas procedure TO

West. should be optional with the
