GOOD ROADS IN GRADY COUNTY

Regardless of any definite results
which may be brought about by the
movement, the good roads meeting
held in Chickasha Monday evening
was significant in that Il was practi
cally the first successful effort to get
the citizens OF the county together for
concerted action In the solution OF the
problem OF better highways. AL.
though wide diversity Of opinion was
expressed, there was no mistakng the
spirit OF the gathering. Concerning
the methods To- be employed many
views we're expressed but on the nee.
cessity for prompt action that viii
bring about better conditions there
was unanimity of sentiment and there
was also a disposition toward cooper
alton in accomplishing the objects
sought
Doubtless some who were not pres.
ent will complain because they didn't
do anything but that IL to be expect
ed 1t has always been true that those
who try to do nothing toward assist
ing in furthering movements affecting
public interests are quick to criticise
those who make such an effort but do
not Immediately accomplish all that
they are attempting. The important
thing to note in this case is that a
body OF representative citizens from
nearly all sections OF the county were
SO impressed by the necessity for max
ing common cause in the matter that
they were willing to leave their homes
to counsel together and earnestly
strive to do something Of value to
the county Perhaps only partial sue
cess will attend their efforts but GER
tainly' we have far more 70, Expect
from such citizens than we have from
those who merely "sit on the wall"
looking and talking wisely without
moving a hand TO do anything.
The good roads problem is one Of
vast magnitude and it will probably
be many years before II is completely
solved in our county but in the mean
time there is no reason why we should
not do all that our circumstances will
permit and unquestionably we can do
much II we make up our minds TO work
as unit In the matter after agreeing
upon the best plan OF action. The
Good Roads association that has been
organized should grow till Its member

THE STATES FINANCES

Hon. e. B. Howard. state auditor,
who Is familiar with the subject, takes
up the record to show that the financ-
es Of the state have not been as badly
handled and that they are in much
better shape than the Republican poll
ticians would have you believe
MIR. Howard takes up the statement
that has been made by the opposition
party that the state of Oklahoma be.
gan with surplus OF $4,000 and
now has debt of $9,OO0OOO. He says
the records disprove this in toto. The
records of the auditors office show,
Mr. Howard says, that the state gov.
ernment started with an Indebtedness
Of $ll274S17l5.
We did at statehood find II necessa.
ry to issue s1.460.O0O Of state bonds,
but Of this $i,46O,O0O over $1,25O, 600
was issued for liquidating outstanding
territorial indebtedness. The balance
was used for paying expenses of the
stata goveInment for the first few
months until taxes could be collected.
There is outstanding another bond
ed Indebtedness amounting to $2907,.
900. After about six years of unusual
growth, and with the added burden Of
land being taken from the tax rolls,
we found that in our appropriations
and estimates we had not provided
sufficient money to care for the bur
dens which were placed upon us. AS
a result we found a deficit Of $2,907.
90, and instead OF saying that the pres
ent generation while building homes
in Oklahoma should pay all of this
burden, we issued funding bond is.
sue, the first payment on which does
not come due until 1928. after which
for ten years the people of this state
win be called upon to pay $209,O00 a
year to liquidate this Indebtedness
which came about as a result of these
conditions, and not as fault Of Dem
ocracy
Mr. Howard shows that the debt Of
the state is $4,66l, 70S.46, which is a
charge against the revenues. An ad
ditional Indebtedness Of $2.l5S.OO0 is
in public building bonds and warrants
that the revenues Of the state derived
from taxation will never have to meet
for the reason that the issue is secured
by the public building lands Of the
state that are ample to pay several
times this claim.
There is now on hand in the general
revenue fund of the state a surplus
Of s2,447,6609O The state owns prop
erty of over $1,000 600 worth of assets
The surplus in the revenues at this
time would reduce the bonded indeht.
edness to $2.2l4O42.56, which is all
that the state owes us as charge
against the revenues. This is offset
by the assets Of the state with almost
10000 to spare.
The necessity for issuing the bonds
was through decisions of courts that
much land in the Indian Territory part
of the state is not subject to taxation
The burden that was thus placed upon
the state has by the bond issues been
distributed over a space that will see
much Of this exempt land placed upon
the taxrolls and made to bear its
share of this deficit that grew out Of
new conditions and extraordinary de.
mands of a growing Exchange.

THE GOLFERS DREAM

You may boost his pay,
And may cheer his name,
And may strew his way
With your worldly fame,
But the golf bugs dream
Is to be three up
In the final flight
For a silver cup.
You could offer him power
Or a kingly crown
Or the joys OF earth,
But he'd turn them down,
For the constant dream
OF the golfing bug
Is to get his name
On a silver mug.

WHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi.
cine Co.


Women who are well often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkhan
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful "
Why do women write such letters "
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia T. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia +. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
