10 Use okIahoma AsphaIt.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. S.-After wading
through the bids of dozen different
paving companies, and considering
nine different kinds of street paving
material, the mayor and rity commits
sioners of Tulsa were finally able to-
day to decide upon the proposition
and award the contract for fifty-three
blocks of additional paving. The con.
tract was let to the Shelby -Downard
Paving company, or Ardmore, an ok.
lahoma institution using Oklahoma
rock asphalt paving material The
contract price for the paving which in.
eluded several blocks each on nine diff.
ferent streets was s1S5, ,5S6,46.
The awarding of contract for an
additional fifteen blocks of paving
which will cost approximately $47 500,
was postponed for the consideration
of batters pertaining to the building
of subways, etc, adjacent to the pro-
posed paving.

GOVERNOR CRUCE
HEARS THUNDER

Oklahoma City, Dec. S.-Governor
Cruce finally received his copy of the
resolutions alleged to have been pass
ed at farmers and taxpayers mass
meeting held at Butler, Custer county,
in which the Haskell administration,
the state board of equalization and the
present administration generally is TAX
en- to task for what the resolutions
term IAN expensive state government,
and high taxes" Whoever was be
hind the Butler meeting, secured am
pie advertising as to the result. Later,
however letters fioated in saying that
no meeting mad been held. The reso-
lutions coming TO Governor Cruce bear
neither date nor signature. and were
not accompanied by letter.
The feeling alleged to exist in the
western half of Custer county" is ex-
pressed in declaring that taxes are out
rageously high, due. the resolutions
show chiefly to the state board of
equalization recently doubling the re-
turned assessment of that county. The
past administration and legislature
are given attention in section of de-
nunciation for having created so many
normal schools and other state insti-
tutions," alleging these were establish
ed ''for the sole purpose of booming
towns where they were located; and
since they have accomplished their
purpose and the booms have collapsed,
we are in favor of abolishing them
and returning to a common sense
basis"
The resolutions advocate retention
of only that at Edmond among the
state normal schools and wants ahol-
ished the Tankawa and Claremore
schools, and all of the agricultural
schools save the Que at Saltwater.
Abolition is also asked of the girls
college at Chickasha.
The resolutions demand that the
salaries of public officials be reduced
in half, do away with numerous depu,
ties, and discharge all game wardens
and tick inspectors. Reduction of the
Custer county expense is also asked,
along with abolition of the superior
court at Clinton, and the holding of a
court term at Thomas. Governor
Cruce is indorsed for declining to call
an extra session of the legislature,
(which would have further increased
the burdens upon the people of the
state the resolutions say.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1t.-Pres-
idential politics at the national
capital resemble a whirlpool more
than a tide or current. Changes
come thick and fast The passing of
favorites is like a moving picture
show The friends of Speaker Clark
regret the failure of the Missouri pri-
mary, which had been proposed to
settle the controversy between the
speaker and Governor Folk as to the
Missouri delegation. His friends re-
alize that the forme reimbursement of
Folk leaves Clark at the post unless
some solution can be devised His
unfortunate utterances in regard to
annexation have helped to depress the
hopes of his friends and the friends of
his presidential stock. This tendency
is accelerated by the sudden looming
up of Leader Underwood as the house
fayorite for president. The demo-
Gratis who hope to win feel that Bryan's
direct hostility to Underwood and his
indirect hostility toward Clark, on ac-
count of Underwood, have done much
to eliminate both the speaker and the
leader of the house.
Next to Bryan's opposition, the re-
iterated declarations of former leader,
John Sharp Williams, in favor of Gov
ernor Wilson and against his former
house associates has done more to
eliminate both the speaker and the
leader of the house.
The truth is becoming clearer every
day that the old contest between the
standpat element in the democratic
party and the progressive element in
the party will have to settle their
quarrel again in the next national
democratic convention The two ele-
ments are going to realize that it is a
| fight to the finish between Harmon
on the one side and Wilson on the
other. The conservatives backing the
former and the progressives backing
the latter All other candidates are
mere fayorite son propositions.
