WILL ONLY ADD TO THE BURDEN
OF THE LONG SUFFERING
CITIZENSHIP OF OKLAHOMA

Hon. Sidney Suggs, Editor of Ard
moreite, Ardmore, Oklahoma.
DEAR COLONEL:
In conformity with my promise to
YOU, to give my views on your editorial
in the issue of November 7, viii say
that most heartily agree with you
with reference to incurrIng so much
unnecessary expense to the tax payers
TO place upon the statute books OF
our state. laws that are not needed.
However. am of the opinion that the
election laws OF this state should
be revised, modified or amended to
the end, that no political party could
take part Ia the primary election OF
any other political party
II seems to me that all past ses
sions of the legislature have resulted
In conglomcraton Of freak laws and
personal venom, while many good and
wholesome laws have been passed by
our legislative body since the incep-
tlon of statehood, yet, am sorry to
say there have also been many bad
laws passed.
The great need of southeastern Ok
lahoma, is to place more property up
on the tax list, improve and bring into
II revenue bearing state, our thousands
of acres of fertile and productive land
This section of the state is likened
unto the men who so into the forest
to clear away the trees, shrubs and
flowers. and build for themselves a
home until 1t reaches productive
state, 1t is all an outlay and no in
come. so It Is with eastern Qklaho-
ma, the greater per cent Of her lands
are unimproved and her resources un-
developed caused by the restricted
condition of land titles and the non

FEAR ANOTHER RAID
Valuable Stained Glass Of London
Churches Being Removed

London, NOV. 1S.-The east window
Of St. Margaret's church, adjoining
Westminster Abbey, which has been
called the finest specimen of stained
glass work in London, is being remoV-
ed to a place of safety in view of the
recent Zeppelin raids.
The window was made at Gouda,
Holland. and was presented by the
magistrates Of bort to King Henry VIII
for the chapel of Whitehall Palace.
The king. however. gave it to Waltham
Abbey. The glass, of which the blues
and greens are remarkably striking.
suffered sundry removals and vicissi-
tues. and at one time was buried TO
escape the zeal of the Puritans. Even
tually it was purchased by the war
dens of St Margaret for $4,000. 1t is
now valued at twenty times that sum.

PLAYS A FAIR GAME.
All He Knows Of Merchandise is
Yours When You Buy.

When a fellow steps into a store
TO buy a suit of clothes, and the
clerk impresses him first that he
knows his business. that ne knows
weaves. that he knows goods that will
give good wear, and he also knows
that all the knowledge of that clerk
is his for that purchase it makes
buying mighty satisfactory. Doesn't
It? Well. that's just the way you
feel when you walk into Westheimer
& Daube's and L. b. Horn steps up
TO wait on you. For fifteen years,
Mr. Horn sold goods in this city for
Madden & Company. He resigned
from his position held so long, but
he is too good a man to remain out
of work. and another firm gave him
place. He is now at he West
heimer & Daube store. But wherever
he is. l.. b. Horn is the same quiet,
unassuming. Industrious, honest man.
He would not give his firm the best
of deal. and he would not give a
customer the worst of it. he is just
the same to both. He likes to sell
goods. he likes to see the money COM
ing in. but he likes to see fun value
go out for the money that comes in.
When a fellow does tina. he can
wear A smile. He can look The whole
world straight in the face. he can
love his family and trust his friends
and be trusted by them.
That is L. r. Horn. And he will
remain just that kind of man. He
is now with Westheimer & Daube
and he would be glad to meet you
at his new place.

WHO FURNISHES YOUR PLANS2

The present road law cannot be said
to be perfect but 1t is a step in the
right direction.
Standard plans and specifications for
building beams, truss bridges, sus.
pension bridges and concsete bridges
were furnished every county in the
state by the former highway commits
Aioner, also plans for sand-clay and
gravel roads. The tracings and blue
prints Of all these standards were
turned over to A. n. Leecraft, acting
highway commissioner. All these
plans and specifications have been
thoroughly tested and tried out by 9th
cr states. These plans have been sent
out to some of the counties by the
present highway commissioner. Safe
ty, economy and permanency was the
slogan In getting up these plans, but
now come the brokers bridge CON
germs that were put out of business by
tho former commissioner and their
strongarm representatives are trying
to make the county commissioners
believe that to build bridges under
these plans will bankrupt the county.
and they offer as substitute their
own plans gotten up by their own en-
gincers and made under their own SUI
pervision and in some counties they
are succeeding The intention of the
highway law is to systematizc the eX-
penditurc of all read and bridge money
so that the tax payers would know
money is spent II is the duty of the
commissioner of highways to see that
standard plans aud specifications are
furnished county commissioners iree
of cost. and Il Is the duty of all county
commissioners to require bridge build
ers and contractors to bid on these
plans and not the plans furnished by
the bridge companies who not only
want to use their own plans, bu' often
insist upon doing the engineering work
as well as the inspection and passing
On their own work.
II those interested would devote the
same amount of time and energy In
trying to obey the law as they do to
evade It. we would get much better
results There is not single bridge
object to building bridges upon stan
dard plans furnished by the state,
and when they do object, YOU may feel
sure that they have a private and a
selfish reason for doing So
