years that were used for State high-
ways."
Where should they be built?"
"Well, Highway 19 should be built
and a highway west from Cooper, via
Pecan Gap to the county line. An-
other should extend north from Coop-
er to Enloe. then a system of lateral
roads should be built to important
parts of the county. With State aid
this would not require a large bond
issue, and the roads when completed
would effect a saving by enabling the
consolidation of high schools in the
county with a bus system of trans-
portation, which would offset the tax
on the bonds."

The writer ventured to say that we
are paying only 20 cents for gasoline
now, which is the same as the price
for gasoline before the 4-cent gasoline
tax went into effect, and this tax will
yield more than thirty million dollars
a year for the Highway Commission
which will enable them, with Federal
aid, to build and maintain the high-
ways of the State and to pay off ev-
ery road bond in the State in a long
term of years.
"Yes," he said, "the big oil com-
panies are practically paying this big
tax into the State treasury now and
it will not be over two years at the
outside before the State takes over the
payment of all road bonds that were
used for building State highways.
Sentiment is crystalizing very fast in
favor of the State paying these bonds
out of oil tax and counties will have
to hurry to get their roads designated
now before the Highway Department
takes the highway business over en-
tirely and then they will build the
roads where they please.
f "Hopkins County, our neighbor to
the south,” he said. “had wisely voted
their bonds at this time when they
are assured of more highways and are
certain they will not have to pay on
their bonds more than one or two
years before the State takes them
over.
"Could Delta County vote any
bonds now and if so what roads would
you suggest building?” he was asked.
"Yes," he said. "Delta County has

lar road bonds which was largely

tody of a Deputy Sheriff of Kansas
to answer a charge of operating a lot-

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a nice appear-
ing couple, were arrested by the Sher-
iffs department while passing through
Cooper in their car twelve days ago.
The officers detained them on infor-
mation on a postal card saying these
people were wanted in Ness, Kansas.
The officers at Ness were notified and
a deputy came after them, but they
refused to go without requisition pa-
pers and it was necessary for the of-
ficer to await papers from Governor
Moody before removing them to an-
other State.
They were arrested in Kansas on
the lottery charge and placed u,nder
bond, the officer said, but "jumped"
the bond. .
When arrested here they were driv- j
ing a nice car, but a dealer of Fort
Worth came after it and said they
had only made a few payments on
it. The officers received a $50 re-
ward.
