Queen Ants,

Queen Ants,
The queen ant has apparently not
had justice done to her by n%aturalists.
DR.. ". NJ. Wheeler's view is that by
comparison with the queen bee the
queen ant is by far the more admirable
creature. In many important respects
they are Numerically opposite. The
queen bee is. it is pointed out. a de.
generate creature, unable to neurish
either herself or her young. to visit
flowers, to build combs Or to store
them with honey. With the queen ant
quite the reverse is the case. She is
held to be a perfect exemplar and en-
bodiment Of her species. and the work.
er ants suffer from incomplete and re-
tarded development. The queen ant is
a very industrious and intelligent
worker. She forms an exceedingly in
teresting subject for study.-London

Some Local Figures.

In his address on where the road
taxes go, Walter S. Gilbert read the
following figures from the report OF
the Carter county Townships:
Amount paid to townships OF
county for fiscal year ending June
Goth, 1912, s35,67s.5O.
Paid into sinking fund, $500.
Salaries Of officials and overseers,
s5,961.
Outstanding warrants, all town
ships. s25.791.
Amount asked for for culverts,
bridges and tools was $7,422.
Amount asked for for roads, s7.100.
1t was reported to the department
that Berwyn township purchased a
carload Of metal culverts at a cost
of more than $4,000.
According to estimates given, a
general average OF 800 per mile
would build and drain good dirt
roads.
Mr.. Gilbert thought the poll tax
should be paid in money and not
worked out. Two dollars per man
would place s75O,OOG in the road
fund which would build seven thous-
and miles of road.
Every taxpayer is paying nearly
three dollars per year on every thou
sand dollars he is assessed.
Two mills per year would put suf-
ficient money into the road fund to
put every mile of road in the state
in good condition if it were prop
erly expended
AS a result of the campaign being
made by Colonel Suggs, forty coun-
ties with a combined membership
of near ten thousand members have
been organized into a state good
roads association. This association
will hold a convention IN the near
future and a legislative committee
will submit proposed legislation for
the betterment of the roads.

FORCEFUL LECTURE
BY v. S. GILBERT
MIRTH PROVOKING SENTENCES
COUPLED WITH ASTOUNDING
STATEMENTS.

Those who attended the lecture at
the court house Monday night had
the pleasure of listening to L very
entertaining speech by Walter S.
Gilbert, secretary to the highway
commissioner of Oklahoma. Mr.. Gill
bert's statements were Astounding az
times and at other times provoked
laughter. He gave the figures from
many townships in Oklahoma snow
iug how much money had been spent
for roads and how much is being
raised this year for the same pur
pose. He has Travelled extensively
over the state and gave from his
own knowledge statements of the
beGefits which have been received
by these townships.
Mr.. Gilbert said Carter county had
the only good mile of road in the
state and referred to the road lead
ing from the city to the cemetery,
He said Carter county had used its
road fund to as good an advantage
as any other county in the state and
in some instances to better ad'
vantage
He pointed out the defects in the
laws that prevail now. Too many
highway overseers draw salaries
from the road fund, too much OF the
money has been used to buy tempo
rary culverts and bridges and too
little money has reached the middle
of the raod where it is of servcie
to the PEOPLE. He called attention
to one overseer who has twelve men
under him. This overseer wanted
to draw the full $50 allowed him
under the law and in order to do so
warned out one and two men at
time to work the roads. The state
law entities 21,00O men to hold po
sitions as overseers who are allowed
to draw $50 a year each. More than
million and a quarter of dollars
are used to pay these salaries be-
fore a penney reaches the roads
Such sum is all the state needs
to use each year upon its roads.
Mr. Gilbert said the idea OF the
people was that roads cost too much.
That $4,000 are needed to the mile,
when as matter of fact 500 to the
mile makes a good dirt road and as
these good dirt roads are built and
used the people become educated or
accustomed to their use and the de-
mand springs up for better roads as
the people are able to own and pay
for them.
Col. Suggs who has devoted many
years to the road proposition, talked
for twenty minutes. He told of the
work done by the department, he
stated that less thar 5000 had been |
received from the people, that Car
ter county had contributed Sc to the |
fund. yet some persons made the |
statement that the department is an |
extravagant luxury. He told Of one
county which had never paid more

OPPOSE PLAN To
ABOLISH OFFICES
IN TOWNSHIPS - RESOLUTIONS
MAY CONDEMN HIGHWAY DE-
PARTMENT.

The annual meeting OF the State
Association of Township Officers
will be held in the assembly room
of the Chamber of Commerce at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning F. A. Brown
of Redford, Okla, president Of the
association, arrived in Oklahoma
City Monday morning and completed
arrangements for the meeting.
That the meeting VIII be of more
than ordinary interest seems prob
able. Already it appears that the
township officials will take stand
for return to the old township as
sessor system, and in addition to
this will put up fight against the
plan proposed by the governor, tax
payers associations and others to
entirely abolish the township sys-
TEN. From conversation with some
of the officials it appears that an
idea is being fostered that the state
highway department is responsible
fer the demand to abolish the town
ship unit, and that possibly the
meeting will criticise the department
generally if not specifically in retail
iation. When this possibility was
mentioned to Colonel Suggs, state
highway commissioner, he said:
What the township association
says or does not say matters very
little so long as it is managed from
the office of tin culvert' concern.
Such township officials as become
identified with it and listen to the
Misrepresentation of material
agents are merely lending them
selves to the purposes of these
agents. Some of these material fell
lows, whose wares are lying all over
the state in various stages of decay
are opposed to state requiring stand
ards of durability in construction
To those who have observed the cul-
yerts that have been sold to the
people of this state and paid for, the
reason for the opposition of these
agents becomes very apparent. That
they will if possible use any organ
ization to oppose the department, in
the interest of keeping the road
funds of the state unprotected, prob
ably is to be expected. The only
thing | regret about it is that any
horest township officials will permit
themselves to be used as catspaws.
The concern which has been be-
hind the scenes in the township as
sociation from the outset send out |
tickets to township officials in the
state. emitting them to free admis-
sion to the state fair This was
done last year, also, and the asso-
citation met in the offices of the con-
cern, where the resolutions were
written and where they will
be dictated this year unless all signs
fail. Under such circumstances as
these, whatever resolutions may be
prepared against the department of
highways will only add evidence of
the necessity for such a depart
ment. t."-Oklahoman.
