(Record, March 14.) '*
Parker is a neighbor county. Par-
ker is on the direct line of the pro-
posed state highway, or the Texar-
kana-El Paso pike. Parker is a weal-
thy county. It has representative pro-
fessional and business men, enter-
prising manufacturers and wealthy
farmers. Parker county citizens are'
vitally interested Is the construction
of modern highways.
There should be a concrete high-
way from Fort Worth to Mineral
Wells via'Weatherford. There should
be concrete roads leading to all the
oil fields. Parker county has oil
wealth. Parker county has many
prospectors for the golden sands.
Parker county has many public spir-
ited men. Parker county appears to
have a minority Of voting citlsens who
are opposed to progress and who are
averse to paying a small tax for the
public improvements which the times
demand. The Records of Thursday
contained the following special dis-
patch :
“Weatherford, March 12.—Complete
bht unofficial returns from every box
in the county indicate that the $400,-
000 road bond issue failed to carry by
tbe required two-thirds majority. The
total vote was 1,456 for the bends and
763 against. ThiH is the second road
bond election held in Parker county
during the past six months. The bond
issue carried by an overwhelming ma-
jority in an election held last Septem
her, but was later declared illegal on
technical grounds.”
A ttjird of the voters of Parker
county voted against the bond issue.
They voted against development and
progress. They voted for the mud
roads of an ox cart civilization. They
vote to depreciate the value of their
own holdings. They voted against the
building movement in Texas. They
arrayed themselves as obstacles In
the pathway of the forward move-
ment.
Six months earlier the bond issue
carried by an overwhelming majority.
The election was declared Illegal on
technical grounds. Another election
was ordered and the progressives lost.
They have a duty to perform. They
should reorganize/ their forces. They
should petition the commissioners’
court to order another election. They
should go out in the highways and by-
ways and appeal to the qualified vot-
ers of Parker county to rally to a man
and carry the bopd issue for road
building purposes.
There baa been an amendment sub-
mitted to the people by the Thirty-
sixth legislature to authorize tbe issu-
ance by the state of $75,006,000 road
bond issue. Representative Adrian
Poole of El Paso is chairman of the
roads committee of the house of rep-
resentatives. Representative Poole is
a practical man and has practical
ideas. As county Judge of El Paso he
was largely responsible for the splen-
did system of highways constructed
during his administration.
He reminds the people of Texas
that under the present constitution
the state cannot appropriate one dol-
lar for the construction of roads. This
amendment will amend the constitu-
tion so that the legislature can issue
bonds for the construction of hard
surface roads.
New fork, California, Illinois, Ari
zona, Missouri, Minnesota, Georgia,
Oregon and Pennsylvania have amend-
ed their constitutions or are now
amending their constitutions so that
the legislatures of these states may
issue bonds for the construction of a
road system.
He reminds his fellow citizens that
no state has ever found any ways to
build a system of highway? without
having; some money itself to spend on
tbe road system and the legislature
submitted this amendment to make ft
possible for Texas to have a road sys-
tem. Of course the $75,000,000 in
bonds will not all be Issued at one
time, but only as rapidly as the money
can be economically invested in pub-
lic roads.
It is contended, and very logically
that the adoption of the good roads

They were winners in the election
last September; they lost the second
election. Now a third election should
be ordered, and the champions of good
roods in Parker county should make
a whirl-wind campaign and rally the
doubtful voters to their cause.
OPPONENTS TO LEAGUE
OF NATION8 ORGANIZING
Br Awmctatert Praia.
Washington, March 14,—Prelimin-
ary plans for the forming of a nat-
ional non-partisan organization de-
signed to keep the American people
better informed as to events at the
peace conference and to oppose ac-
ceptance of the constitution of the
league of nations as now drawn, were
made at a conference between Sena-
tors Reed of Missouri, Democrat; Bo-
rah of Idaho and Poindexter of Wash-
ington, Republicans, and George
Wharton Pepper, a lawyer of Phila-
delphia.
After the conference it was an-
nounced that Henry Watterson, for-
merly publisher of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, would be president
of the organization, with Mr. Pepper
as directing supervisor. It was said
that many senators who have been
active in opposition to approval of tbe
league constitution would support the
organization.
Senator Reed announced that' a
statement outlining the purposes of
the organization would he issued
within a few days. One purpose, it
was explained, would be the co-ordi-
nation of various local bodies that
have been formed over the country in
opposition to tbe league.
Present plans call for establishment
of a Speakers’ bureau and tbe conduct-
ing of an extensive campaign of ,pub-
licity throughout the country. Sena-
tors said the organization would be
supported by, voluntary contributions
and that headquarters probably would
be in New York.
Suggestions were made at tbe con-
ference that representatives be sent
to Paris while the peace negotiations
are in progress, but no agreement was
reached.
