NATIVE ASPHALT

FOR DURABLE AND CHEAP CON-
STRUCTION MATERIAL.

Some of the most industrious work
ers in the interest of the read to the
oil fields, stated tody that the best
plan to build that road which had
been suggested so far, was to lay it
with crude rock asphalt. 1t is pro
posed to use Just such material as
Shelby Downard is taking from his
mine and without refining it spread it
upon the road The Asphalt has al
ready been mixed with the sand by
nature. the rocks soon crumble under
the wheels and make a smooth sur

vious to water and with proper drain
age the plan seems to be an entirely
feasible one. An effort was made to
see Mr. Downard today, to get an es-
innate of the cost and to learn his
ideas of it, but he could not be found.
The idea is worth investigating and
worth serious consideration to say
the least of it.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 9.-"TeXas first
was the slogan of the Dallas and

sentatives of both these cities we're
here claiming that the bank should
first be located in this state and
that the various cities can fight it
out among themselves later. Pres

Der Of Commerce proposed a reserve
district with Dallas as the center,
embracing all of Texas, all of OK

his arguments on the center of pop

TAXPAYERS EFFlClENCY LEAGUE
Business Men Of Oklahoma City Or.
qanize for Economy

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. S.
business men here have organized a
taxpayers efficiency league with a
view of giving close scrutiny to the
public administration of county, city
and school district affairs, and, ac-
cording to the bylaws, more init
mate movements looking into a more
economical administration in state
affairs The president of the organ
ization is Judge B. F. Burwell, vice
president J. S Morrow, and treas
urer. William Nee The active agent
for the league is J. H. Johnston, for
merly traffic manager for the Ok
lahoma City chamber of commerce
who is charged with the duty OF
making the leagues detailed inves-
legations and recommending its ac'
ton.
Activities of the organization are
to be strictly nonpartisan. a similar
movement was inaugurated last year
through the chamber of commerce
and had the effect of reducing the
city's fiscal budget considerably for
the year. This also carried a reduc-
ton of the tax rate in the city and
county. 1t is the intention to give
close attention to the assessment OF
property for taxation, and see that
inflated values are removed in con-
sidering the renditions. Acting ror
the organization also is an advisory
committee of fifty appointed by the
president. All officers of the league,
save the agent, serve without COM
pensation.
