GET FEDEKALE AID
WHILE WE CAN
After June 30, 1t Will Re Years To
Come Before Counties viii
Have Chance At Federal
Road Money

what Federal aid on our county
roads we expect to get for Bryan
county in years to come. We must get
before June 80 this year" is the
language used by c. o.. johnson in
defining the status of the counties
of Oklahoma this week
Mr.. johnson recently attended a
Bankhead Highway meeting at Men,
phis. when road, matters were thor
oughly discussed, and at which meet
ing Senator Townsend of Michigan,
addressed the meeting. Senator
Townsend is the chairman of the
United States Senate committee that
has to approve all Federal aid road
bills, and his policy OF handing out
the money is exactly opposite to that
which has been in force prior to this
time.
Senator Townsend in his address
plainly stated that he approves first,
the building of gigantic trans-conti-
mental highways, and the application
of federal aid to such projects,
which he terms primary roads. 1t
will require years, perhaps gener-
| alton. to build the necessary trans
continental highways. and when all
other roads, such as county and State
highways, are considered secondary
roads, the people of Oklahoma, who
are difuging on federal aid to build
such routes. may as well kiss federal
aid on them goodbye for a genera
ton.
AS the situation faces us in Bryan
county, there has already been set
aside $450.OOO in Federal aid TO be
applied to roads in Bryan county.
provided that the amount is matched
by an equal sum by the county.
| The routes have beer approved by
Federal engineers, specifications pre-
pared. and contracts have been
approved on small part of the
routes. while bids are being read
vertised for on other parts of the
is not matched by June 80. and con-
tracts let covering the roads, reverts
back to the Government, and is lost
to us for years. unless re-appropriat-
ed, which is very doubtful. in view
of the principles outlined by Senator
Townsend.
Now, if Bryan county sells enough
of her road bonds to match the $3.50
900 of Federal aid that is already
set aside, and these bonds are now
advertised for SALE: and if contracts
shall have been let covering the
routes and absorbing this $500, 600
prior to June 80, all well and good
but, If she fails in any one particular
whatever part of this federal aid is
not contracted for by that time. re.
verts. which means it is lost to Bry.
an county, perhaps forever.

"Nor is there definite promise as to
when there will be-" he added. There
are upwards of hundred first term
Republicans in the house and they all
feel as I do, that we have not been
permitted to make our influence felt
Congress was called into special ses-
sion for certain definite purposes,
namely, for revision of the cumber-
some, unwieldy and negotiable system
of taxation; the passage of fair pro-
tective tariff; and the passage of a
peace resolution. None of these OBJ
jects have as yet been accomplished,
nor is there any definite promise as to
when they will be. Nearly three
months have passed since the calling

of them have been here so long that
they seem to have forgotten 1t. We
are not meeting in any spirit of revolt.
We have come more recently from the
people and our opinion should have
some weight. Congress is all tied up
with red tape. We want to cut some

LOSE FIRST ROUND
In FIGHT ON FIGHT
| Vice-ChancellOr Stevenson Denies Re-
formers Motion to Prevent Big
| Battle Saturday.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

by Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Jersey City ice-Chancellor Steven
son today denied motion by the In
ternational Reform Bureau for an or
der directing Promoter Tex Richard
to show cause why he should not be
restrained from staging the Dempsey
Carpenter bout in this city Saturday.
Mr.. Stevenson, however, gave the rep
.resentatives of the bureau permission
J to apply to another vice-chancelIor for
such an order and the cIergym'en de-
parted to look one up. Stevenson ex-
planned that he was leaving town late
today and could not hear the argument.
Declining to act on the petition, Mr..
Stevenson said there appeared to be
no cause for equitable intervention.
John Milton, who appeared for Rick
ard, told the vice-chanceIlor that his
client probably would be bankrupt if
the order were issued and the bout
banned. Stevenson ruled that if the
petition was to be renewed before an
other judge in chancery, it must be
done today. He told counsel for the
reformers that he did not see how
court of chancery could grant an in
junction to prevent any damage to the
morals of community or how it could
grant an injunction in advance of
crime.
1t is reported that DR.. Wilbur F.
Crafts, superintendent of the Interna-
tional Reform Bureau, announced at
Washington today that the application
Of the Rev. Robert Watson for an in
junction in the chancery court at Jer-
sey City to stop the fight was only the
first move by the bureau in it's efforts
to prevent the fight. He said there
were many courts in New Jersey COM
petent to issue an injunction and that
if unsuccessful in one, representatives
of the bureau would renew the effort
in others. "You may rest assured"
said DR.. Crafts. "that Mr.. Watson, who
is president of our bureau, has evil
dence to support his case. All the
world knows the match is prize fight
and not boxing contest such as is
permitted by the New Jersey law, but
it takes specific evidence to prove the
contention"

CONFEREES ADOPT
PEACE RESOLUTION
Committee Expects to Get Compromise
Draft to President Harding
Before the End of the Week.

Washington-A compromise draft of
the Knox-Porter resolution to end the
state of war with Germany and Austria
was agreed upon today by Republican
conferess of the Senate and House.
The Republicans planned to get the
compromise to vote in the House to-
morrow and in the Senate later in the
week, so as to place it in President
Hardihg's hands before the weekend
congressional recess.
The compromise resolution, it was
said, followed the House plan of de-
claring the state of war with Germany
and Austria at an end instead Of re-
pealing the war declarations, but the
Senate provisions for protection of
American rights for reservations af-
fecting enemy alien property and
privileges of the treaties of Versailles,
Trianon and other postwar engage
ments were said to have been retained.
