an owner pays 80 cents per horse
power tax on the car he drives, the
second year 40 cents, the third year
80 cents, and 20 cents after that
period
The state provides a tag to owners
and to dealers. The state will only
collect for six months this next year
from July l to January l. Every
car must be tagged on or before
September l, this year.
Therefore the first payment auto
owners will make will be 25 cents
per horse power.
Convict Labor.
Every county can get convicts to
work on their highways under rules
which the state highway department
will set forth. The state will fur
nish the necessary equipment, guards,
food and medical attention, but the
counties will have to furnish the
transportation charges and the up
keep and the fuel necessary while
the convicts are at work. The state
board of affairs and the highway de-
partment will make rules governing
the credits to be given the cOnvicts
for faithful performance of their du-
ties while working the highways.
Many Inquiries.
Inquiries are reaching the state
highway department every day for
information regarding this law.
Commissioner Suggs expects to be
able to supply copies of the law in
a few days. He is personally graft
fed at the measure, because it vital
ICES what he has been preaching for
twenty years and what with limited
authority and means, he has been
accomplishing to a minor degree for
the past three years he has been
commissioner of highways.
Statement from Suges.
State Highway Commissioner Sid
ney Suggs, prior to his departure to-
day for his office in Oklahoma City,
stated that the new law would revo-
lutionize road building in the state
and the people would be pleased with
its operation after a sufficient time
has elapsed for the collection of
funds and proper expenditure on the
roads.
He cited as a difference between
haphaZard and efficient work the
piece of roadbed now under cOnstruc-
tion east of the city. Efficient men
and modern plans are resulting in
the building of a piece of road that
will be permanent. II will give the
people an opportunity to observe the
difference. W. r. Colt on the state
highway department, saved his en-
tire salary within one hours work
before construction began. He did
that, say those who are having the
work done, in locating the roadbed
above the marshy places and where
culyerts were avoided. The new law,
Mr.. Suggs says, will save the people
of the state a million and a half dol
lars every year. This is the amount
which Oklahoma has been spending
for toy tools and tin bridges and
other lightweight road material that
was made to sell, and not construct
ed with the view of giving the people
service.
The provisions of the new law have
been the hobby of Mr.. Suggs for
twenty years. 1t matters not whom
the governor selects to execute this
law, it will result in better roads and
in a saving TO the taxpayers.

The commissioners fight for per

clause in the new bill which calls
for bridges capable of sustaining the

State Aid.
The state will set aside fourth of
a mill for every county and will hold
il in trust until the time when the
county raises an equal amount for
road building For instance, if the
state has in trust from this fourth
of mill tax $4,000 for any county,
the said county will by fourth of
mill tax raise an additional $4,000,
and then the department of highways
transfers to it the like amount held
IN trust
Increase County Levy.
Under the increased . mills al
lowed by the state. every county can
levy for all purposes 8 mills instead
of 6. This means that it will be pos
sible for the several counties to ag-
gregate s6OOO,OOO per year for road
building purposes.
The Township Drag Fund.
Apart from about $4,000 derived
from the auto license for mainten-
ance. every township is authorized
under this new bill to levy an addl-

That the new road bill will bring
about the reforms which the present
state highway commissioner has been
fighting for for the past four years,
is evident by the salient features
enumerated above.
Communities, however, must not eX-
pect that it can be placed in immedi-
ate operation so far as actual con-
struction is concerned There is
much preliminary work to be done,
work, however which will be con
siderably hastened due to the efforts
which have been made during the
past four years to define tentatively
state highways along the routes of
the least resistance, combined with
service to most people.
Interstate Highways.
Interstate highways have already
been informally dedicated and laid
out and what is more important, thou
sands of dollars have been spent
on them by patriotic communities
which will make their ultimate COM
pletion easy and inexpensive. County
roads have also been worked in many
Instances, thus foundation has been
laid for permanent operations and
maintenance.

the classroom had ben fumigated and
that there was no need for alarm.
PY. Thomas X Conrad. health officer
Of Chevy Chase. Md. reported there

WIS no occasion for fear. Dr. tald =
well Woodruff. deputy State health
officer of Maryland in charge of
MONTGOMERY County. stated there had
been seven cases in the county since
January l.
Many Of those present expressed
their belief that the school building
had not been properly and adequately
disinfected. They stated their family
physicians had advised them TO keep
their children away from school I'M
til the entire building had been fumi
gated. 1t was reported that the
health committee of the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association had rec
commended that parents keep their
children away for several weeks.

On the strength of these fears. Dr.
Woodward was requested to have the

parents if not deemed absolutely neres-
sary. pr. Woodward declared ii was

Assistant Secretary Under Taft Finds
Growing Ill-feeling in Euro

There is growing feeling Of unfriend-
illness toward the United States in France
ana England. particularly in the latter
country according TO Huntington Wilson.
First Assistant Secretary Of state during
the Taft administration, who has just
returned from Europe.
In Mir. Wilson'S opinion there is grave
danger that the end Of the Europea II
war will SEQ the United States without
a friend among tn" great powers unless
some conscious effort is made in this
country to maintain strong ties with the
countries at WAL.
Mr. Wilson, since his retirement from
the state Department in April 1915. has
made an extended tour of South America.
and for the last few months has been
in France and England Discussing con-
ditinns in Europe affecting the 'nitcd
states as he found them. Mr. Wilson
said:
In France and Great Britain | learned
a certain amount of feeling unflatterins
Ia the United States was increasing. In
England this was noticeable. here and
Their" among the ordinary run of people.
The cousnly feeling that most OF the
British naturally have toward us makes
their public opinion the more sensitive to
our attitude. Their government and
press 81 far do not seem to do anything
t. keep uniformed opinion fair and
friendly.
The lurid manner in which tho note
about our sea rights neutrals was
given out at Washington was one thing

Then there was the talk of our buying

WAS our liberation Of tn" campaign of
