Committee VIII Favorably
Report Administra-
ton Bill.
EXPECT A BIG ROW
Bill Will Create a State
Highway Commission
In Its Lieu.

OKLAHOMA CI1'G, Jan. 3O,-Gov-
ernor williams has asked that the Of
flee OF state commissioner of high
ways he discarded.
The house committee on public
roads and highways consisting of
twenty representative members has
decided that the office must be
abolished ad some time next week will
report out a bill that will not only do
away with the office but will create
a state highway commission and a
county highway engineer, as well as to
materially change the present statute
with regard to the building and main
tcnance of public roads.
Two Of the vitally important mat
ters before this legislature are a work
mans compensation act and a material
change I'm the road and highway laws
of the state. The wOrkman's COM
pensation act is on the calendar, but
il will take hours and days to iron 1t
out upon the floor Of the house.
Means Hard Fight.
No less time will be consumed in
wrangling over the committee bill to
abolish the highway commissioner
office. But that the office will be
abolished is well indicated by the de-
Cison of the committee to report out
a comprehensive bill along that line
as substitute for the numerous
measures on the subject that have
been introduced by the individual
members.
The salient features of the bill that
have been agreed upon by the mem
bcrs of the committee are, In brief,
as follows
Abolish office OF state highway COM
missioner.
Creates a state highway commission,
to consist of the governor and the
chief engineers of the state university
and the state agricultural and me-
chnnical college, all three to serve
without extra pay, but to be furnished
a stenographer. The commission to

ernment so as to secure federal aid

be the county surveyor, so as 10

Each Side Has an Able
Leader ON the
Floor.
ANTS" LOSING OUT
Dmant Is Leading His Side
To Many Vic
tories.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jau. 3O.-The
question OF whether Wm. \. Durant
or Ben Harrison Is the strongest
Democratic member Of the house Of
representatives is sull mootcd
question i'm legislative circles.
Harrison and Durant have tied into
each other on humorous occasions.
Part of the time Harrison has won
out and in a number of cases the vic
tory has been Durants. The latter
has a splnedid organization I'm the
house while Harrison depends largely
upon his oratorical ability and polit-
cal sagacity to get him by.
Some folks like to refer to Durant
as the administration leader and Har-
rison as the administration man.
A test OF This character arose the other
day when house bill No. 1903, giving
the governor power to investigate
cases wherein county township or
city officials are dcrelict I'm their duty,
and to cause their removal from Of
flee was up for final passage. The
bill also gives the states chief eX-
ecutive the power to summarily Oust
any of his appointees and to institute
impeachment proceedings against any
elective state officer before the legis-
lature.
"AntiS" Oppose IT,
administrator men who OPP
posed the measure claimed that II
provided for too much Capitalization
of power, while administration sup
porters asserted that it armed the
governor with a necessary weapon in
causing the laws to be enforced In the
various units of state government.
Ben Harrison opposed the bill on
the ground that 1t was all right In
theory but the present statutes pro
vide for the removal from office OF
anyone who violates his oath or Is
derelict I'm his duty.
The administration won out and the
bill was passed by vote Of 6S to 2S.
The following members voted for
the bill:
Baker, Ball, Barbee. Barry, Bovee,
Bryant, Carpenter, Cartwright, Cash,
Childers, Clark, Council Cox, Craw-
ford, Davis, DiclSerson, Disney, Dunn,

The Fastest CoIors.

1t is said that the fastest colors on
the market are what are known
among dyers as Observation-Disclosures
that are dyed with hydrosulphite In a
caustir bath. These colors are as near
ly nsst as any can be made and have
been adopted by our government to be
used I'm army uniforms.
The dyeing Of these colors on cotton
yarn is simple, especially when the
Scotch tub system is employed. The
proper way to dye these colors Is to
use the vacuum type Of dye machine,
as the dyestuff experts hold that all
air should be eliminated from the cot
ton before the dyestuff Is applied, and
this type of machine II best suited for
that purpose, because. in this system
the cotton is stationary and the dye
liquor is forced through the cotton by
means Of pumps.-St. Paul Pioneer

The destruction Of the "Lusitania"
demonstrates, If proof was needed,
that war is more than is compassed
by Sherman's terse and famous def
milton. War that is waged relent-
lessly on unarmed non-combatants,
on women and children takes the
world back to the age of barbarism
and makes us wonder il all the
boasted progress and civilization is
not delusion and dream. The
cruel and wanton destruction OF this
steamship is quite likely to prove a
momentous event in the history OF
this country. The people OF the
United States are not anxious for
war, but if the issue is forced upon
them, the honor and self respect OF a
great nation must be safe-guarded.

who I'm the days when note taking was

acquired fame by the extraordinary
power of reporting from memory the
speeches he heard In that august as
sembly.
His usual attitude during a debate,
says the London Chronicle, was to close
his eyes and lean forward with both
hands upon his stick, being so well ac-
quainted with the tone and manner Of
the several speakers that he seldom
changed his attitude save to catch the
name Of new member
The speeches thus memorized he
printed in his journal, and so wonder
full was his memory that he could re-
tain full recollection Of debate fort
night after, though having listened to
many long nights Of speaking In the
interval He used to say he could put
any speech away on a corner shelf or
his mind for future reference.
