SENATOR GORE
WORKS FOR AROM0RE
ASKS CONGRESS TO RAISE APPRO-
PRlATlON TO $225, Zoo. GOVERN
MENT APPOINTS CUSTODIAN.

A letter from the government came
TO Postmaster Douglas Saturday ap-
pointing him custodian of the govern
ment property in this city which is
the site for the federal building and
such property and buildings as may
be located upon the site. Inasmuch
as an appropriation of $4,000 has been
made Immediately available Mr.. Doug
glas is of the opinion that he would
not have been named custodian if it
were NOT the intention of the govern
ment to beein work during the early
part of this year on the building.
Senator Gore is of the opinion that
Sl50,0O0 was not enough TO construct
building here that would meet the
demands of the government and he
has introduced a bill in congress
which provides that the appropriation
shall he increased to S225,O00
The people of this County will sin
cerely appreciate the efforts of Sena-
tor Gore to raise the appropriation and
the bill will have good friend in the
house in Charley Carter and there is
every reason to believe that it will
pass
Full text of the bill introduced by
Senator Gore follows:

county.
note that YOU desire an expression
from me as to your duty in matters
of this kind In reply permit me to
state that the statutes define pretty
clearly the duty of the state highway
commissioner and think it is incum-
bent on YOU to discharge every duty
that the legislature has imposed on
your department.
The object of creating the office ol
highway commissioner was to put to
an end as far as possible the waste
of public funds in this state in road
building.
Your office will fail to accomplish
this mission if it fails to exercise
such authority as Is necessary to bring
about proper road building in Okla
homa My advice to you is to accept
the law as YOU find it, shoulder the
responsibility that it places upon YOU
and don't undertake to shift the res
ponsihility to other officials. If You
are in doubt as to the meaning of the
statute in any particular then would
suggest that YOU get an Interpretation
of the same from the attorney general

cRuce AND GOOD ROADS.


Governor Crucc has aDue Oh "c"oUd
for the promotion 1l good roads in
Oklahoma and in . letter 10 III" com
missioner of highways makes clear
his position on a mat. y which Is oi
grave concern to every taxpayer ia
the state.
There is no question but what the
highways of the state show but littl"
for the vast expenditure of the past
three Years since statehood.
1t seems from information ON rec
ord. that three millions per annum is
a conservative estimate of the amount
OF money and labor for the highways,
an amount sufficient to build hun
drcs of GOOD miles of roads each year.
The people are beginning to awaken
to the necessity of good roads and are
willing to pay for them providing th"
money will be well and intelligently
spent
That this shall be done is the de
mand of the governor and he puts 1t
squarcly up to the department of high
ways to see that It is.
From the construction of the law,
any taxpayer can insist that roads
and bridges must conform with stand
ards adopted by the state and as these
standards are in conformity with mo-
dern construction, in conformity TO
economy and pcrmanency, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that from now on
they will prevail in the state
Governor Cruce is to be commend
ed for his action in this matter as it
is in line with his economical policy.
The question dcVolNcs down to the
fact that a permanent bridge or road
is an asset while temporary structures,
COSTING as much to maintain as to
build. is a distinct liability and con
tinuous expense to the taxpayer.
What is necessary is that the tax
money spent on the roads is well
spent. Here Carter county We have
a concrete instance where large sums
of money was spent ON the public
roads without proper engineering su-
peryision and the result was that for
