and he thought it nothing but right
that future generations should bear
their part OF the cost Of making good
roads.
w. a. StrOthcr favored The issu-
ing OF bonds, the abolition OF the
Office OF county commissioner and
the election OF a competent man to
the ollicc OF supervisor at Il salary OF
100 a year. A salary Of $2.5O0
WAS suggested, and Mir. Strother said
he had no objection. If a man want
ed that salary he favored giving II
to him, but give him credit for
$ 900 OF patriotism. and that would
bring the salary up to the $2,500
mark.
superintendent OF Education Wade
Z. llu2hS stated that the plan of
special taxes for educational pur-
poses, levied by vote OF the citizens
OF the several school districts. was
working admirably and resulting in
great advantage to the school dis
irictS that have taken advantage Of
the SyStcm, and he saw no reason
why ,hc same rule should not work
with equally good results if applied
to the matter OF public highways.
1t was evident from the opinions
a
that there must be a radical change
in methods If anything Of worth is
to be accomplished; that the Office
OF county commissioner Is at best a
ffth wheel that has long been out Of
true, and that about the only thing
1t Is now fit for Is abolition
McmoriaIizc General Assembly.
The association finally adopted a
resolution that it was the sense Of
the body that the General Assembly
should be memorialiZcd, asking them
to pass an act at the next session
making 1T possible for the various
townships to vote on a tax not cy~
cceding 10 mills for road purposes;
that the Office Of county commissions
cr be abolished, and that the Office
OF township commissioner be Substi-
tutcd therefor, three commissioners
from each township in the county.
and that the salary for each town
ship commissioner should be 500
per annum. The provision as to vot
ing on extra taxes by townships is in
no way intended to interfere with
the present provision OF the act
whereby townships are authorized to
vote bonds for the purpose Of build
ing permanent highways. The town
snip commissioners arc given abSO-
lutte control Of all funds raised by
taxation in their respective districts,
and the funds are to used, Of
course, in the districts in which they
arc raised. 1t. was also sought TO in
corporate the provision that all
taxes for road and bridge purposes
raised under the general tax systcm
should be turned over TO the town
snip commissioners. and cXpcndcd
only in the districts in which they
were paid. This was the provis-
ion that was characterized as unjust
to the mountain townships, some Of
which have many miles Of public
roads, but practically no cOmmuta-
ton road tax and comparativcly
small funds raised from the general
road tax, and the provision was
Withdrawn, as it was felt that the
more thickly populated townships
should assist the weaker ones to
S0mc extent. IT was also voted that
the oilicc OF county supervisor should
be placed on Il salary OF $1,000 a
year; that the supervisor be made
responsible" for all funds raised by
the general levy for road purposes,

ON JURY


Wagner, Okla. Feb. Ie.--Ffnding
before he convened court Yesterday
that there were tour negroes on the
jury, Judge Pitchford. holding court
here in place Of Judge King, ordered
thar the negroes be discharged.
There was no reason given for the
discharge of the jurors except the fact
that they were black. Judge Pitch
ford explaining that he had made a
campaign pledge never to serve as pre-
siding Judge when there were negroes
on the jury.
Judge Pitchford saved the negroes
feelings as far as possible By calling
them into private room and quietly
excusing them from jury duty. All
though the matter caused some com
ment among the negroes here. who
compose large part of the population,
no feeling was expressed and the ac-
lion caused no noticeable resentment.
II is the first time In the history of
the local courts that man was ex-
cused from jury because OF his
color.
