Secretary
WILL DEVOTE TIME
TO ROAD MATTERS
Temple Says Section Of Ozark Trail Be
Complete When Harvey Marking
Party Arrives

AT a meeting of the Grady County
Highway association Monday even
ing. e. c. Burton was unanimously
reelected president and it was voted
to pay not to exceed $65 per month
toward the employment of a secreta.
ry who will serve both the road as
sociation and the Chamber of Com
merce, the latter organization paying
one-half Of the salary. 1t is expect
ed that the secretary employed will
devote practically all his time to road
matters during the next few months
Mr.. Burton will confer with Presi.
dent Ashton and w. w. Clark, the
present secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce, in regard to the selection
of a permanent secretary and it is
planned to put a man on the job as
soon as possible.
Discussion at the meeting covered
a wide range Of topics but conferred
chiefly on the Ozark Trail and the
proposed military highway which Col.
w. H. Harvey is promoting. One
section of the latter road will extend
from Oklahoma City 10 Fort Sill via
Chickasha, provided the requirements
for Grady county are met. Col. Har.
vey will be here Friday to hold a
route meeting in regard to the mat
ter, representatives of many towns
along the proposed road being pres
ent.
County Commissioner Temple told
the meeting that the section of the
Ozark Trail from Chickasha to Tut
tie and the Canadian river will be
completed by the time Col. Harvey S
marking party comes over it, proba-
lily some time in May. On the great
er part of the road material for con-
crete culverts is on the ground and
as soon as the culverts are complet
ed the grading will be rushed, Mr.
Temple said. Some changes in that
part of the road which extends
through Chickasha township are pro
posed in order that several turns
may be eliminated and corners round
ed. The right of way must also he
widened in some places. Commit
tees we're appointed to assist Mr.
Temple in getting the cooperation Of
adjacent land owners in making the
desired changes.
Mr.. Burton protested vigorously
against his reelection as president
but all his objections were overruled
Il feel that we have made failure
of our work" said he, "and | would
like for somebody else to take a try
at it." It was pointed out, however
by various members that Mr.. Burtor
had given much of his time to the
work and had accomplished real re
suits and hence it would be for tht
best interests of the good roads move
ment to retain him.

Not only English freedom, French freedom is at stake. Our own cherished institutions our free government, all that our fathers fought for, all that free peoples prize, is threatened by an enemy that would impose his own hate ful kultur on every free institution in every iberty-loving land.
 That is why the war must be fought on Euro pean soil. We are fighting in Europe now that we may not have to fight in America on the very thresholds of our own homes, later. We are fighting for the safety and liberty of our children, our homes, our country. No price is too great to pay for Victory
 Americans, you are called upon to back our armies in France, to furnish them the guns and shells and ships and airplanes, the enor- nous quantities of every sort of supplies that they must have to defeat the Prussian armies and drive them back across the Rhine.
The Coconino sun., 1918-03-29

We are now building more naval and merchant ships than we have constructed in the last generation.
 We are building a vast fleet of airplanes, and enormous supplies of artillery, motor trucks, machine guns, rifles and ammunition. We are feeding clothing and training an army of a million men, and preparing for million more. We have loaned billions of dollars to our allies to be spent in the United States.
 From the shipyards of the Pacific to those of the Atlantic; on our farms and in our mines, mills and factories in every state in the Union back of the firing line in France, where men are in training, camps are being erected and railroads built, billions upon billions are being expended for labor, for transportation, for materials and supplies of every description.

 Earnings of the 12 federal reserve banks in 1917 were reported at s15,- Soo,O0 gross and $11,200,000 net. with declared dividends of about $6,SO0,00 The boards expenses have been little less than $25O,O0O, and the cost of administering the gold settlement fund has been only S3.5OO or 1 1-3 cents per $1,000
 The entrance of state banks and trust companies during the year strengthened the system greatly. says the report. Although the gold re- serves increased enormously in quant- ity, the proportion of reserves to de- posits fell in proportion to the ex- pansion of credit.
 No radical amendments of the re- serve act are suggested although few minor changes are recommended They include: Election of directors of reserve banks by simpler methodl provision for printing bigger denom- ination of federal reserve notes; pro- vision for incorporation of foreign trade h"nks under federal reserve and permission for national banks to establish branches in their cities.

CORPORATE FINANCE NEEDS ADJUSTMENT
Federal Reserve Board ReCom-
 mendS Action by Congress

Washington, Jan. 22.--Effect of credit expansion on the general rise of prices and the part the American people can play in counteracting in- fation by war time economics, were emphasized today by the federal re- serve board in it's annual report to congress.
 Explaining that even though credit expansion is not entirely responsible for increase in price the board says ''it regards it as one of it's most inn portant duties, to prevent as far as practicable, expansion of banking credit from running an uncontrolled course.
 Goods and credity'' says the re- port, must be saved to the utterest of our ability in order to check the upward movement of prices and in order to free for the use of the gov- ernment the goods and savings re- quired for the winning of the war"
 The present condition of a greatly expanded currency will be improved, the board believes, "as the public per- forms its duty of absorbing the gov ernment loans out of savings"
 Before the third Liberty Loan. the report adds, federal reserve banks must reduce their investments to strengthen reserves and avoid further expansion that has accompanied the last two Liberty Loans. The board does not say specifically how it pro- poses to do this"
 Among the many radical influences of the war on money markets, the board explains that one of the most pronounced has been the effort of some to have the federal reserve sys- tenn absorb 90 day notes or other short term paper accepted with the privilege of repealed notes. The board has persistently opposed any such effort to destroy liquidity of the banks assets on which the system was based, the report said, but it admitted that the difficulties of private and corporate financing was so great as to justify action by congress.
 The most serious problem of cor porate financing has been removed bv government operation of railroads. says the report, but the situation is still serious.
 The board therefore respectfully suggests early consideration by con gress of the problem of corporato financing in the belief that no satis factory solution will be found that does not involve some degree of gov crnmental intervention. The board is of the opinion that some plan for government intervention or aid can be worked out which would meet the re- quirements of the situation satisfac- tority.''
 Alluding to the great strain on fin ances during the past year of the government war loans, and to the aid given by tho federal reserve system the report says:
 "The federal reserve note will more speedily attain the position originally intended for it--from being an oc-
