taxpayers of the state will secure over
million dollars a year more value in
highways for the money and labor now
expended. This is based from figures
compiled from official records.
The law creating a department of
highways provides that the depart
ment snail furnish standard plans and
specifications for roads and bridges,
specifically stating that the highway
commissioner shall exercise author
ity in all matters relating to plans for
the building and the maintenance of
improved public highways" and that
"all laws and parts of laws in conflict
with this law is repealed. The high
way commissioner takes the position
that no work of any permanent kind
can be done in the future on the stan
dards adopted by the department. The
department announces that it will not
only prepare and furnish the stand
ards but will as the law requires con-
duct an investigation of the expendi
lures throughout the state for roads
and bridges.

CUT OUT THE WASTE
INCURRED IN ROAD BUILDING
That is The Substance of Governor
Cruces Letter to Col. Sidney
Suggs.

Oklahoma City, Jan. Sl.-That Gov
ernor Cruce will expect the state de-
partment of highway to shoulder the
whole responsibility" in the matter of
future highway construction and to
put to an end as far as possible" the
waste of public funds in the state so
rar as highway improvement is con-
cerned, is made clear by letter from
the governor to Commissioner of High
ways Sidney Suggs in reply to an in
quiry.
The correspondence between the ex-
ecutive and the highway department
arose directly out of a communication
received by Col. Suggs from the coun-
ty engineer of Usage county who COM
planned that three townships in that
county have voted bonds for road inn
provement amounting to $150,000 on
the strength of the pledge of the town
ship officials that the money would

a competent engineer. These town
ships says Engineer Behning have
made no move to fulfill their pledge
and taxpayers of the townships have
appealed to him to find out what steps
can be taken to insure the proper ex-
penditure of the money A copy of
Mr.. Behring'S letter was sent the gov
ernor and Col Suggs held two con-
sultations with him regarding the mat
ter an dthe result was that Governor
Cruce takes the position that the de-
partment will fail to accomplish its
mission if it fails to exercise its au-
thority as is necessary to bring about
proper road building in Oklahoma"
The Policy Defined.
Following the receipt of the COVER
nor's letter, the departments attitude
was strongly defined in a letter COW
erlng the Usage county matter which
will be the policy pursued by the de
partment in the future in the state.

county.
| note that you desire from me an
expression as to your duty in matters
of this kind In reply permit me to
state that the statutes define pretty
clearly the duties of the state high
way commissioner and think it is en-
cumbent on you to discharge every
duty that the Legislature has imposed
on your department The object of
creating the office of highway COM
missioner was to put an end as far as
possible to the waste of public funds
in this state in road building. Your
office will fail to accomplish its mis-
sion if it fails to exercise this auth
ority as is necessary to bring about
proper road building in Oklahoma My
advice to you is to accept the law as
you find 1t, shoulder the responsibility
it places on you and don't undertake
to shift the responsibility to other Off
cials. If you are in doubt as to the
meaning of the sttute in any partic,
ular, then would suggest that you get
an Interpretation of the same from the
attorney general.
Armed with the law as it is written,
/ believe you have every weapon at
your command to bring about more
satisfactory conditions in road build
ing and improvement in Oklahoma
than has heretofore prevailed, and
certainly trust that you in your usual

out his policies, he has naturally
made some enemies, but at the
same time it can be said with truth
that no man in the public or pri-
vate life of Louisiana has mere
friends, more admirers, or more
staunch supporters than has the
present governor of louisiana
And now, after his great sacrifice
upon the altar of patriotic en-
deavor, coupled with the singing
defeat which sufficed to cause
his heart to bleed to the core, Gov
ernor Sanders should feel proud
of such eulogistic tributes from
afar, which add new lustre and
fame to his patriotism and 10y atty
to his friends, while the people of
this Com for whom he
made such a sacrifice, should bow
down in shame and blush with
humiliation for not having honor
ed this gifted son of Louisiana
with a seat in the United States
Senate, where his great ability,
towering intellect and incompar-
able prowess would add new lustre
and renown to our beloved LOUISE
ana. That great and irreparable
wrong and injustice has been COM
mitteed is apparent to the minds
of all sober and rejecting men.

The Attack on Sugar.

The attack on the sugar industry,
made in the House of Representa-
tives of the United States Congress
under the leadership of Mr.. Under
wood, of Alabama, will, if success
full, result in ruin to this portion
Hpf the State of Louisiana. The
lgar industry, under present con-
k4itions, cannot live without the
assistance of the tariff. This fact
no we'll informed man will deny.
Even a reduction of the present
tariff on sugar will materially
cripple tbatindustry. The Demo-
cratic party, when in power, never
yet has put sugar on the free list.
Its leaders have always recognize
ed this tariff as necessary to meet
the expenses of the government.
That party, though always oppos-
ed to the doctrine of tariff for the
protection of special industries
only to make the individuals, who
own those industries, rich and
powerful at the expense of the
masses, still has always advocat-
ed that other and wiser doctrine of
tariff for the protection, (if may
use the term,) of the government
tariff only as revenue producer
to meet the necessary expenses of
the government. Tariff on sugar
comes squarely under the requires
ments of that doctrine. 1t pro-
duces a revenue that goes directly
to the government, and honestly
reaches the National treasury. No
one will dispute this. 1t is not an
oppressive tariff; it carries with it
but a slight burden; it benefits the
masses; it assists the government,
and at the same time, enables
great and necessary industry to
live.
Then why destroy that industry?
We fear that the action of Mr..
Underwood and his followers has
an Interior motive-a motive not
borne out by the equities of the
question. 1t is to be hoped that
the United States Senate will take
q wiser and juster'stand, and will
stay the hands of those who |
are recklessly endeavoring to de-
stroy one of our greatest indus
tries.
