WILD DIEM
Takinp the Free to taak for
ita oppoaition to the scheme of
town boomera and citj automo-
bile joy riders to hare the State
build what they cull a “Great
State Highway” from Kan-a t
Texa Saturday's Oklahoman
amorio other thing- say:
Every farmer along the rote
of tbes-o great highways will U-
benefited by their building and
their construction hy way of ex
ample will encourige the con-
struction of Iateruls and local
good r'ads Bonds issued for
the building of these nuds will
run for a period of twenty five
years at a low rate of interest
with the aggregate amount re
duced at stated periods The
benefit to the farmer will be iin
mediate and his annual savings
from improved haulage facilities
will greatly exceed the tax he
will have to pay annually becauee
of their construction — to say noth
ing of the increased value of farm
properties from the advtDt of
better roads”
Fine argument put up to hood-
wink the farmer but a reference
to the peculiar condition under
which the Eastern part of the
State is now laboring wiU show
how utterly impossible it would
be to build such a magnificent
system of highways to connect
with the ‘“Great’’ when it is re-
membered that but a small part
of the farm hmds are taxable
The main part of the burden of
additional tax levies made neces-
sary to pay the interest and pro-
vide a siuking fund would fail
upon the few farmers who have
recently bought lands from the
Indian citizens the property
owners in the towns and the rent-
ers while the lands of the many
citizens would contribute nothing
It may be possible where the lax
rates are not already burdensome
to issue bonds and build local
roads but this system of laterals
to penetrate tLe remotest parts of
the State so vividly pictured by
our big and most esteemed con
temporary is a wild dream itn
possible of realizaticn at this time
and for years to come
But' the Oklahoman lets the
whole cat out of the wallet when
in the same editorial it makes
laborious defense of the “joy
riders” who are the ones clamor-
ing for the building of this great
Sta'e highway in which ir assure-
us that automobiles are to 6uon be
as cheap as road-carts when every
farmer will own one Of course
everybody would like to “port ed
automobile hut it is the Press
opimeu that the editor of the Ok
labomun will have departed this
life and joined Elijah upon the
other shore before that day
come- when every farmer will be
able to sport an automobile
This talk about cheaper automo-
b les is thrown out along tne way
no doubt in order to encourage
the farmer to -upp-ut this scheme
to tax him-elf to build this
‘Great State Highway '

The upward movement In platinum
was nearly equaled several years ago
In 1905 pure platinum was selling at
11850 with only a languid demand
Early In 1906 the sales began to in-
crease and prices steadily advanced
until In December of that year puA:
platinum was selling at $38 an ounce
and hard platinum touched (40 Then
a decline started and continued until
1908 when the price was down to
les than (20 an ounce The present
upward movement started soon after-

Boston — Prof Edmund Beecher Wil-
son of the department of biology at
Columbia university delivered a lec-
ture before the Society of Arts In
the talk these points stood out:
Man Is hybrid Only woman Is com-
plete In harmony with creation Far
more a man Is likely to Inherit some
serious ills like color blindness
Professor Wilson handed this little
conundrum to bis audience:
“Color blindness is a sex limited af-
fliction Eight times as many men as
women are color blind A man may
inherit color blindness from one of his
parents but it takes two to transmit
It to a daughter
“If a color blind man marries a
woman not color blind all their grand-
sons will be color blind but their
granddaughters will be able to tell
green from yellow and will not be
color blind The daughters will es-
cape color blindness but their sons
will see no difference between the col-
ors of a crow and a parrot The
daughters of these eons will have a
complete color sense”
