"Crimes are on the Increase," said
(.■nicer Penland. "Lack of enforce-
ment i i prohiblRon laws, lack of pro-
tecat:(\*".. of criminals and granting
bonds to bank bandits are the cause.
"The criminals have a well beaten
trail which extends over* Osage, No-
wata. Tuisa, Creek and Payne cot:n- j
ties. Blind cars, bandits, hijackers,
gamblers and bootleggers are n;* the
move over this trail.

The abolition of township boards, a
si* year term for county commission-
ers, a tax on gasoline and a bomb un-
der the highway departmeut wera
among tho recommendatlop.i ninde
last night by V. P. Wilson, secretary
of Iho Sapulpa chamber of commerce,
before a meeting of tho Drumright
community council.
Mutt Act Now
Mr. Wilson spoke on county financa
with special refere,nco to the building
of county roads. This criticism was
not destructive but was Intended to
show that definite action will have
lo he taken by this county If It Is to
Keep up tosome better favored coun-
ties .nearby and if It Is going lo take
advantage of federal aid, which, If
taken advantage of will pay half of
the bill for road construction,
Mr. Wilson Indicated that right
now Is the time when Creek county'
may be able to realize for the largo
i xpendltures of tho past on coujHy
roads. There are today only three
miles of real hard surface roads in
the county. On the other hand thero
is a largo milage of gravelled roads,
which, worse the pity, aro not at all
permanent.
Soil Here Is Bad
Now 1s the time, said Mr. Wilson,
because the work of the past has giv-
en this ooupty excellent surveys,
grades, curves bridges and fills. Tho
county hu practically all but good
read surfaces. This county Is at a
great handicap on account of the na-
ture of the soil, he said. It Is sandy
and such that continued inalptenanco
Is necessary. Moreover roads are go-
ing to be costly because every Inch o(
surfacing will have to be hauled into
the country from distant sources.
In making recommendations for •
revision of cdiinty finance Mr. Wil-
ton suggested that th<S presotit twd-
year term for commissioners Is not
lung enounh for the officials to earrj-
out a real constructive program.
Wants Tax an Qss
A tax of one cent on gasoline would
give to the maintenance of roads In
the county a large fiy>d paid in by the
very men who did the woaring on the
reads, thus makln* lighter the taxes
of persons who may not have receiv-
ed much direct value from roads. This
would catch particularly car owners
of other counties and other state*
w ho scorch up our roads and thc/ dis-
appear over the horizon.
