he legislature is authorized to
u add to such fund. for the purpose
OF constructing or improving roads

ing, in its discretion, for any an
nual tax levy upon the property Of

val OF this amendment will authorize

ton, one mill tax upon all the prop
erty Of this state for the benefit Of the

The present constitution authorizes
the Legislature to add to the road and

ton for an annual tax levy upon the

may pay for such fund towards the
cost of constructing or repairing any
road or bridge and leaves the whole
management of such fund to be provid-

BANKER ON HIS VACATION
TRIES HOBO LIFE FOR FUN

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June l4.--Don-
aid X. Snyder OF the First National
bank started for Oklahoma on ais va
cation. He was looking for adventure
and proposed to bum" his way over
the country for two weeks.
The first message from the vclun-
teer Weary Willie" was that he had
ridden the cushions to Paola. Kan.
and from there would tramp through
Oklahoma, looking for adventure.
He found large chunk OF adven-
ture in the railroad yards OF Nowata.
Okla. where the night Waterman saw
the banker and took him in.
Snyder was indignant. judging froLl
the hurry-up calls for help he wired
to the bank.
Several kilograms were sent 10 the
Nowata city officials, stating that
Snyder was a banker and all right
The kilograms appeared to be correct,
but the officials couldn't figure out
how a real metropolitan bank attache
could be hanging around a railroad
yard with only Sill In his pocket.
Friends of Snyder predict that he
will come home ION the cushions" and
will confine future travels TO varnish-
ed cars.
