call for, which reports are herein sub
mitted marked exhibit b."
Your honorable committee will note
the seeming Indifference exhibited on
the subject and the meagre informa-
ton contained in the reports. Only
eight (S) partial reports have been re-
ports have been received, which are
hereto attached" the other county
clerks ignoring the requests for data
called for, while personal visits and
solicitation in several counties result
ed in no information being obtained
for the reason that no records that
contained the data were obtainable.
The reports received indicate that
there Is no system that obtains in the
several counties of the state whereby
road moneys are carefully and eco
nomically expended under skilled su-
peryision and adequate plans and spe-
c!fications. Specific accounting for
the moneys do not seem to obtain, and
the expenditures of the road moneys
are not evidenced in the roads.
To sum up the situation, the people
and taxpayers desire good roads, and
are willing to pay the tax necessary
to construct them if state wide system
gas devised by the representative to
accomplish the purpose. Our average
annual leyies for highways including
poll tax, county tax and township tax
totals SO 100000, which vast sum Of
the peoples money" scarcely main
tains passable roads, whereas if prop
erly expended on adequate plans and
specifications under skilled supervis-
ion, the moneys would construct miles
OF permanent roads annually and
maintain the present standard with ap-
proXimately $1,000 miles of surveyed
and travelled roadways. The present
moneys average $4,000 per mile, a
moiety of which annually reaches the
roads.
The result of my Investigation clear.
ly indicates the necessity for organi-
zation of a department of highways
by the state to be a separate and dis
tinct department within itself and a
general organization under its direc-
ton for the building and maintaining
of public highways This system is
the only one which has brought re-
suits in other states which have built
and are building good roads. Moth

ture Of money than lack of central

In Ardmore, a Aimber of streets

were taken from quarries a few

thoroughly mixed after being soften

on n concrete foundation without

the hottest days in August, it was

lied direction, and a paid highway
only resulted in the building of good
roads but in actual saving to the peo-
pie in money that they pay annually
for road work. The question is one
that reaches every taxpayer in the
state and Is of far too great impor-
tance to be left at loose ends without
organization. The amount of money
wasted under present conditions, by
reason Of lack in system, would not
only maintain an efficient state high
way department, but would build
many miles of roads in the state each
year. This is not due to individual
or dishonesty on the part of individ-
uals charged with road duty, but is
entirely due to the lack of systematic
organization.
The organization of the state depart
ment of highways means more than
system for building roads, it means
Increased farm values without extra
cost, greater development in all
agricultural and educational lines; in
improved facilities for transportation,
a saving to the farmer in their cost
of haul, improvement of educational
facilities and a general elevation Of
the entire agricultural conditions
within the state. l believe it to be
the most important question before
the people in this state, and earnestly
and urgently recommend action by
this legislature along lines suggested
in this report.

Hon. Morton Rutherford Of Musko
gee in conversation last night at the
Lee-Huckins in Oklahoma City said
he was the author OF the section OF
the constitution. which provides for
the creation OF a state department OF
highways and says the vitalizing OF
that portion of the constitution Is one
o. the most important pieces OF legis
lation since statehood. Mr.. Ruther
ford is one OF the best known lawyers
in the state and was a candidate fol
the United States senate in the first
state election.
Jesse l.. Jordan of Marietta is an
automobile owner and he says the
good roads law is what the state needs
and he is very glad of its passage. II
the tax had been higher it would pro
partment worth more said Mr.. Jordan
and the automobile people of the state
will be glad TO contribute the sum they
are taxed to make the roads OF the
state better.

POPULAR PLAYER WELL
REMEMBERED BY FANS

The ball fans of the city showed
their appreciation of Rolla Buckles
to the extent of about $50 at the
benefit game Saturday afternoon.
The game itself was a trifie mild.
Fowler pitched the first three in
nings for the Culls and held his
Spud teammates hitless. AS he was
slated to pitch the Sunday game he
retired in favor of Jimmy Luman,
and the slaughter began, ending
with the final scor to 1. Some of
the Culls failed to distinguish them
selves by brilliant playing. But all
the way around lot of fun was
had. Dusty Miller did the pitching
for the Spuds, and did great work
when you don't consider how weak
some of the Gull batters were. One
clean hit was all that was made off
him. After two were down in the
ninth Buckles went to bat, the first
time since his injury. After two
strikes had been called on him he
hit the ball over the center field
fence for home run but as Umpire
Jerry Lyons was giving Tony a
chew of tobacco at that moment he
didn't see where the ball went and
called the batter out.
