ing all liquor-selling. There is no i'm.
mediate prospect Of the prohibition
law being repealed, but many persons
who favor 1t believe that it should be
optional with the people to repeal the
law If they see fit. The experience of
Maine VIII be of interest to Alabama.
In Maine, where prohibition is pre-
scribed by the constitution, the issue
of resubmission has been raised in
successive elections The Republi-
cans, who control the State, have been
divided on the question at their con-
ventions, but the extreme temperance
wing has prevented the party from in
dorsing resubmission. In Alabama,
where for all practical purposes there
is only one political party, the diff
Guilty of repeating prohibition amend
ment, once 1t was adopted, would be
greater than in Maine. A majority
of the voters can adopt the amend
ment, but as a preliminary to repeal
ing 1t two-thirds of the Legislature
must vote for its removal before the
question can be submitted at popular
election.

PUSH LEGISLATION
FOR BETTER ROADS
Association If Township Trustees
Open Headquarters at Guthrie
Propose Poll Tax

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. lit is highly
probable that much time viii be devoted
by the present state legislature TO good
roads legislation. Interest in the improve
mentof public highways has grown since,
following the governors recommendation
for legislation looking to that end, several
organizations Of non-political nature,
have sent representatives to Guthrie to
present recommendations.
One Of the most aggressive organiza-
tions to open headquarters in Guthrie is
the Township Trustees. Association. Presi-
dent D. T. Witt, Of Vinita, is here with
resolutions adopted at meeting Of town
ship officers at Oklahoma City last No
vember. The Communications he is
pushing ask for law, assessing two
dollar poll tax for all able-bodied men
under fifty years Of age, For the cutting
Of weeds. grass and brush from highways
twice each year; placing salary Of road
overseers at So. per day; the employment
Of all prisoners on roads, when sentenced
to more than ten days in jail for two
roads crossing the counties near the
county-seats; the assessment Of dogs for
good road revenue
The Oklahoma Good Roads Association,
a branch Of the National organization, is
also interested in the proposed legislation.
If plans Of the state administration for
the control of state convicts are perpetua-
ted, Oklahoma will, in a few years have
the most elaborate system Of public roads
in the entire southwest Already con-
vict labor on road work is being tested
by R. W. Dick, Of the state penitentiary.
Mr. Dick, who is an expert in construction
work has prepared himself FOR this speci-
al branch Of duty Under his direction a
road win first be built between the city
Of McAlester and the state penitentiary,
which is something more than a mile
from thecity limits.
