T1IE DAILY ARDMOREITh
BIDS Rt.CF.lVED FOR ROAD
1-OXE GROVE TO HEALIHON
(.Continued From Page One1
Of Public Roads at Washington D. C.
Ir is rurqored at headquarters Okla-
homa City and also in parts of this
station that the Carter county com-
missioners have decided to' refuse
the federal aid money because theyj
intend to spend one half of the I
amount of money which they have on !
hand to build a gravel road. Jf such)
action on the part of the comniis-
xioners should materialize it would
i create a great deal of dissatiHfaction !
among the majority of citizens of
this county. Ardmore citizens are!
strongly in favor of building a per-
manent road of asphalt or concrete
and to accept the federal aid money.
ntiens of this city have also ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor'
of permitting towns mlier than Ard-
more tu decide the location of the
road.
It is alleged that if the road should
be built of gravel it would not be ;is
good a highway as is t tie gravel road
between Ardmore and Lone Grove for
the base of the Ardmore-Lone Grove
road is hard rock and such a buse is
not available for any road between
Lone Grove and Healdton.
Figures are aaid to show that if
the commissioners decide to lav the
. gravel road they will expend almost
as much money out of the county
funds as they would if they built
a road of asphalt or concrete and
accepted money to pay half of the
cost from the federal authorities.
Statistics prove that on a conserva
tive estimate an automobile will
average about is miles on one
. gallon of gasoline on a travel rond
: Thus the cost of gasvline. for 1200
oars the -stlmute number which
travel over ihe road urtily would he
J "60 per day. On a concrete road
the estimated amount of gallons of
gasoline used per 16 miles i about
two-thirds of a gallon. Thus a sav-
ing of one-third of a gallon 'of gaso-
line would be made per day by travel
uver a concrete road or a saving of
1 a total of SI 20 per day would be
!: effected. This would amount to about
543200 for a year and as the amount
. of traffic increased the saving would
; become greater.

I DANIELS TALKS FTKTHKK
OX NAVAL CONDITIONS
(Continued From -Page One)
the present effective fighting strength
of the British navy includes 3:18 ships
of 1558442 tons ss ioiiipnml with
3:'.0 ships of 779. I!U tons for the
. American navy completion of t tie
authorized building program of this
country in 192. will give it u ton-
nage superiority In the ratio of 1.35
to 1. with approximately an eotial
number of ships.
While the present strength of the
America n navy was shown to he
more than double that of .la pun.
should the latter country complete
its projected program for 1927 in ad-
dition to construction already author-
ised and this country terminate con-
struction with its present program
its naval superiority over Jupun in
that year would be reduced to a
. ratio ot 1.4 to 1.
In major ships and gun-power the
American navy at the completion of
the present program will have an
Actual superiority over the British
fleet. Secretary Daniels said in dis-
cussing the figures but it will be
"considerably weaker." he added In
point of light cruisers and other
rtiips needed to protect the main fleet
and to carry out blockading and other
strategical operations.
"We will be slightly Inferior in
Submarines and will have no modern
aircraft carriers suitable for operating
with the fleet the secretary said.
"That means that while our battle-
ship force will be sufficient to cope
w!th any navy in the world our
main fleet would be open to attack
by the enemy's torpedo forces. We
would also be handicapped in obtain-
ing information of the enemy' ports.
Due to this weakness in ships of
- this claw we wuld be handicapped
in conducting attacks against the
enemy's fleet with torpedoes.
The data submitted by the secre-
tary showed that with the comple-
tion of all present authorized build-
ing the effective battleship strength
of the British navy will be 26 ship'
sftregauni 6.13.630 tons: American
navy 27 ships aggregating 137.630
tons and Japanese navy nine ship.
290.STD tons. The buttle cruiser tie-
ure will be:
Gteat Britain six aggregating 173.-
4u tons; America mx. WI.Omu und
Jsoan .eifht 270.04O tons
If Japans projected program for
1427 is authorized however it wdl
rju her battleship strength ui that
year according to the figures to IS
rhips aggregating 439.720 ton nuf
increase her prospective superiority
or the American navy in hul
iruier. giving her 12 Ships of thai
dsn. aggregating 410.000 tens. This
trot rum already ha been approved
by the Japanese government. sere-
tiiy Daniels told the committee but
tfcere has not yt been any appropna
t ct'S fur It.
tfectetarjr Lnilt declared ot of
the most serious shortcomings of the
Ainerksn navy at the present time
was Us total lack of stwedy aircraft
cartier. H- said vessels .f this tyje
Were essential.
Mr. Datiitls. bvfote the coinmiiion
lterdv etpressed the-wpinion that
no time could be mute propitious
than the present for the tonsldefj-
lioO of naval disarmament. An agree-
meat between the leading sea er
however is absolutely eww-nlial to
such action he said. With auh t
lUictleD cf building programs a I"
proposed in the bill submitted by
eeater borah. Republican. I dado
wbka Hie committee Is now cons J-
erlsg the nation can safely go shout
disarmament. Mr. Daniels blievrd
!( some agreement cannot be made
between the leading ration th
United States mut build and mum-
ifeb "the biggest navy in tbe world."
General Bliss preceded by the com-
mittee Secretary Daniels who ap-
peared again to give the committee
detailed information regarding the
relative naval strength of the great
powers. The former chief of Htaff of
the army said his association with the
high military representatives of the
other powers at Paris hod confirmed
his belief that all of the great na-
tions of the world were ready to talk
disarmament seriously.
"Our present form of civilization
cannot stand the great e train of mili-
tary preparations. General Bliss de-
clared. "The world war was a terrific
strain on civilization. The next war
will be verv much worse. Fetir Is
the bwsis of war preparation.
Washington Jan. 12. VUit'W on cot-
Ion piece goods from Boston New
York Philadelphia Baltimore and re-
lated points to St. Louis wero found
today by the interstate commerce com-
mission to be unduly prejudicial to St.
Louis and preferential to Memphis. A
iiew'bavis of rules will be prescribed
by Ulie commission in the near future.
The commission said 'the rates were
not unreasonable but were unduly
prejudicial to St.. Louis to tho extent
that "the rales from Huston und New
York to St. Louis exceeded rales not
less than 13 ce:v;s per 100 poundH
lower than the rates contemporaneous'
ly in effect from the saint; points
to Memphis with' rates- from other
points of origin bearing the present
relationship to the rates from New
York and Boston."

quire into the personal clash tit Mat-
tice yettterduy between the American
nuval balloonists Lieutenant Farrell
and Hlnton is being held up pend-
ing fuller ftyorts Secretary Daniels
said toduy. The secretary sidded that
it was to "be deplored" that there
should have been any personal con-
flk between the young men who had
"emtured great hurdshipH and seJt
new standards."
Reports to the navy department
concerning mo Ujlloon trip and the
events that have followed have been
"lamentably meagre" Mr. Daniels aid.

Washington Jan. 12. Tjiwson San-
ford a New York steamship agent
declared Itoday before the senate im
migration committee that 100000 would
be a "generous estimate" of the net
immigration from Europe to the
Uniled States in 1921.
"Deduoting the number of Immi-
grants who rrttum home from those
arriving" Mr. Sanford ald "HtnLls-
tios show that 22800 was the net im-
mifrratin from Europe nhe first
year tifter the armixlice. On the same
basis the net immigration in 1920 was
197000."
Mr. Sanford said Ithe exiting ship
facilities would permit only aOO.OOO
immigrants to come here from Europe
this year rind he figured that nearly
that number of aliens now in the
country would return to Europe.

tern of one half free trade and one
half 'protection or one-half subsidized
and one-lv.ilf taxed."
Mr. I'tyor 'told of the competition
with cheap labor and declared In
Japan a man works for as little as 17
cents a day. He said recently train
loads of Chinese hud passed through
El Pani en route to Cuba to work
on the HUgar plantations on u wage
basis Ithat nujint bankruptcy to
American tugur producers if forced
to compete with them.
He said Australia mid New Zealand
and oilier western .countries can pro-
duce beef at 2 or 3 cent a pound
owing to cheapness of kind und tabor
while in this country it costs several
lines us much to product beef. The
same condition held good us llo cotton
he said.
The speaker described the cause of
uneasiness in the livestock indutftry as
twofold.
First the withdrawal of credit by
money lenders in a large measure.
Second the unstable comtUIons of
the country in general und (the fear
of importation of mealis Into this coun-
try free of duty.
In conclusion he said income tax
records indicated the country has 20-
000 millionaires und asked:
"Who ever heard f an honest to
God millionaire farmer?"
He declared inor.t millionaires made
.their money rom manufactories of
raw meat's produced by the- farmer
but said thut while such a community
of interest should produce a "00-00"
profit for both producers and manu-
facturers the was unable even to guess
ut the price the farmer received as
compared to wtiat the manufacturers
obtained for finished products.
A (tariff duty on farm products at
the earliest possible date increased
credits and early adoption of legis-
lation now pending in congress pro-
viding for the anointment of a com-
mission to supervise the livestock in-
dustry were urged a necessary step
for the early rehabilitation of the calt-
tie growing industry by John 8.
Keiuliick of Slieridun Wyo. president
of the association.
Kenilrick sketched the trouble of
the industry beginning with the
drought conditions in ithe southwest
for two or three years; an Increase in
meat imports in 1920; a decrenw in
meat exports in the same period and
the "absence of Erilwli markets fot
wool at ?iny price.
Increased labor costs the "doubling
up of tuxes and increused freight rates
wt the very time when declining
prices on many products of the farm
made shipment of these products pro-
hibitive." were assigned by Kendrlck as
further cvuse for the present unfavor-
able conditions of the industry-
Pointing out that ithe longest b-jnk
loan it hut cun be obtained on live-
stock is six months while the process
of production of cattle extends over
a period of three years ut the least
Kenirick declared nothing would give
greater impetus to the production of
livestock nit thin time than a change
In our laws which would - provide
sound rational system of financing
that would extend to small loans in
limited amounts.
