Roads Compromise
fPIIE nation’s need for more and better highways transcends
A politics, and it is encouraging to note that at last congress
seems prepared to accept the fact.
In consultation with President Eisenhower, top congres-
sional Republicans have decided to go along with a Demo-
cratic proposal for financing a long-range road program.
How to get the money has been the stumbling block
Republicans have wanted to finance new roads by issuance
of bonds. Democrats favor a pay-as-you-go system.
CINCE the Democrats control both houses of congress, the
^ GOP knows prospects for bond financing are slim The
same plan was beaten last year. In approving the Demo-
crat arrangement the Republicans are merely recognizing the
realities.
Yet the recognition is important. The compromise on
highways reflects the essence of the art of governing. In this
case, party differences are not being exactly reconciled.
It is perhaps more accurate to say that party interests may be
put in balance.
lu other words, a highway program thus put together
may contain something for both Republicans and Democrats.

QN this date, Feb. 7th, 1812,
” there was bom in England
a man whose fame as a novelist
and reformer has without dimin-
ishing, existed all the intervening
years and will continue to exist
for many years to come.
While I think his works are not
so widely read as they once were
frequent reference is made to
his contributions to the classics
thereby keeping his name alive
where many of his contempo-
raries are forgotten. This writer
is Charles Dickens.
Dickens has been judged by
what he created. We are not
called on to say whether he was
as great as Homer, as Shake-
speare, as Cervantes or as
Thackeray. He was quite him-
self albeit thousands of writers
have tried to copy his inimitable
fashion and be considered Dick-
ens-y. None have truly succeed-
ed. He created a new kind of
humor, he told stories that went
straight to the heart of humani-
ty, he amused, he warmed, and
he cheered the world.

claim credit for any useful legislation approved under its
president. The Democrats can make counter-claims based
on their sontrol of congress and their authorship of the
financing provisions.
MO one can possibly say at this time which party’s claims
will be given greater credibility by the American voters.
Perhaps both will win partial rewards in the shape of di-
vided votes at the next general election.
In the long run possibly it doesn't matter how the credit
is distributed. What counts is that under the compulsions of
necessity a practical sort of bipartisanship has been devised
on the highway issue. In the coming political campaign, that
aspect will he thoroughly cloaked in harangue. Rut the re-
ality of useful compromise, so often evident beneath this dis-
guise, will be there just the same.

A national television company
headquartered in New York City
soon will know more about points
of historical interest around El
Reno than a lot of home folks
do.
Representatives of the com-
pany recently wrote Manager O.
K. Curry of the El Reno chamber
of commerce concerning the
Chisholm Trail and Pioneer Day
celebration May 10, 11 and 12.
They were curious about El
Reno side trips to historical
points and indicated a desire io
do live pickups for a nationally
televised Sunday show.
Curry has answered their let-
ter, has provided information
concerning Fort Reno, Darlington
ana Concho that many local re-
sidents do not know, and has told
them that the celebration, insofar
as he knows, will be in the form
of a tour sponsored by the Okla-
homa Historical Society.
In a brochure he sent with his
letter, many historical facts were
provided, and he promised ihat
"we can make this a very in-
teresting program for the many
millions of television viewers."
In addition to brochure infor-
mation, Curry told the company
that Colonel Nelson A. Miles
commanded Fort Reno when an
Indian raiding parly went as far
north as the Republican river in
Kansas and helped put down the
uprising.
Tlie letter told of Darlington as
the first Indian Agency in Okla-
homa territory and that it was
named after Brinton Darlington,
first agent, who was named to
the post by General Grant.

headquarters of the Cheyenne
