good to the greatest number of tax
payers, than to repeal all existing
state highway or road laws and at
once enact such laws as contemplate
actual work instead Of graft, less po-
litlcal pull and more honest labor,
giving the people permanent road
beds instead of middle of the road dirt
dumps, with no system or concerted
action back of the work.
The highway question is, we repeat,
one of the most important questions
before our lawmakers today.
AS now, according to the late re-
port of the department of highways
Three million, eight hundred and
seventy-seven thousand dollars is be-
ing spent annually by the people for
highways and bridges, divided up as
follows:
For County Roads and Bridges -.
............ ... ... 81 ,307 ,46 1.60
For Township tax levy. 1,s39,219.24
For Poll tax, cash value 731,12o.00
lotdI ....'...''.. POO I iSS'of
This enormous sum of money has
been spent in bluff at road build
ing, for it is only a bluff-and graft.
There are but few isolated cases
w Lere the money appropriated has
been put to full value.
In addition to the county boards
THERE ARE e25 TOWNSHIP
ROAD COMMISSIONERS AND 4,4OO
ROAD oVERSEERs, ALL OF WHOM

RATA OF THE 1887, 100000 ROAD

Talk about an opportunity to graft!
If the road laws of Oklahoma do not
offer it, no so-called laws ever did.

Where is there anything to show
for the expenditure Of near
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN
THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, EACH
YEAR SINCE STATEHOOD?
Near ooo,0oo.oo put out In road
and bridge building since statehood,
and so little to show for It.
The bridge building, much of it,
has had to make a better showing
than the road building-the bridges
we had to have and the roads we
could travel over when it was not
raining torrents-much after the logic
of the old Arkansaw dweller who had
a leaky roof-fW1hen it was clear
the roof didn't need fixin' and when
it was rainin' he couldn't fix it."
We would not, in this structure upon
the road laws, be understood as sing
lii out any officials who have been
darelict in the work that has been
theirs for some that we know of have
done their duty and their whole duty.
The state highways commission has
done all that it could do under the
existing antagonistic laws.
AS a rule, the county commission
ers in their work of looking after
bridging, have acted as best they
could under the hap-hazard condition
Of the laws governing their work.
Was there universal requirement

Of bridges, the bridge troubles of the
past would have been few as COM

would this be true had 1t been exact

it the name given them of "tin bridg-
es."

Disagree on Ruling

over the proposition to sanction con-

ais under certain conditions is indi-
Gated tonight by the statement ia
sued by James r.. Sullivan, secretary Of
the Amateur Athletic Union, strongly
objecting TO any practice as proposed.
The Idea was advanced by Gustavus r.
Kirby, president of the Amateur Ath-
leuc Union, in an address, reports OF
which were made public yesterday.
II do not quite follow Mr.. Kirby in
his statement that in his opinion the
present line is drawn far too fine and
under certain circumstances compete
ton should be permitted between anna
tours and professionals" said Secre-
tary Sullivan. Il can not understand
just what he means by this sudden
change Of heart. for It is a matter of
record that he did not feel as he does
now at the congress IA Berlin last Au-
gust At that time he was in favor
Of making the amateur definitions more
binding.
There is no demand. for the good of
athletics for such a proposition as Kir-
by advances, and ! doubt II It will ever
even be discussed or considered serious
~ by a governing body in America
not only will personally oppose any such
proposition as is presented to allow

fessional in a foot race. but, further
more, | viii recommend that we fur
