1t is pointed out by the secretary
that the roads have long been neg

While the amount necessary to re-
pair the roads, so thar traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
only a minimum weal and tear seems
fabulously large. it is to be taken into
consideration that the cost is to be
divided among the various states. and
therefore reduced proportlonately..
New York atate has bonded itself
to exnend $1,000. GEO annually on the
improvement of its highways and, it
is hoped, that other states win soon
follow until the movement becomes

states making the greatest leogress
in road building Georgia is second
South Carolina third, Alabama fourth

by these states has clearly demon

THOUSANDS OF
TITLES CLEARED

Oklahoma City, April 2O.-That the
decision OF the supreme court Of the
United States relative to the sale Of
Indian lands. rendered Monday. will
bring millions Of dollars Of foreign
capital to the state is the opinion Of
w A Ledbetter. one Of the attorneys
in the case, who said.
@The recent decision Of tho United
States supreme court holding that
there is no restriction on the right Of
sale by Indian heirs regardless OF
quantity Of blood, Of land allotted IN.
der what is known as section % OF the
supplemental Choetaw and chiekasaw
treaty. commonly called dead Indian
claims IS Of vast Importance to the
state.
when the allotment Of lands in
these nations began in 1909. thousands
Of deeds were taken TO Inherited lands
on advice OF local attorneys, and un-
der decisions Of the local United
States courts. A similar view was
held by the supreme court of the state
Of Oklahoma. Later the federal court
Of the Eastern district of Oklahoma
and the circuit court of the United
States at St. Louis. held all these titles
void, and that the allotments were
held under restrictions. The suprem,
court Of the United States reversed
these federal courts and held that the
Oklahoma supreme court correctl,
decided the legal question involved
"On account Of this conflict in opin
lion, millions Of dollars have been KEEP
