New Deal

Oklahoma is fortunate
above all other states in en-
tering the Union. 1t will
have a. greater population
and u greater wealth than
any other state upon It's
admission, but it's good for
tune does not consist prln-
cipally in these two things.
Switzerland is one OF the
poorest states in the world,
an aggregation of villages
clinging to the Alphine
Mountains,-bu it is one OF
the most fortunate coun-
tries in the world.
This good fortune consists
primarily in the fact that
the state of Oklahoma will
breed good men instead OF
dollars. Not that money
will not be made here,-for
there will be much, and the
completion of the Panama
Canal will make us the gate
way of the Great Northwest
I'm its outlet TO the new
countries OF South America.
But we have Il state govern
ment founded on the idea
that every man must bear
his fair share of the burdens
of the state and receive the
treatment from every bust
ness that every
other man receives. There
are to be no determinations
no monopolies, no CONNER
cial expressions, and the
outrageous robberies with
which the people have been
gouged will end with our adj
mission rs q state.
Oklahoma, also enters the
Union with the liquor traffic
excluded from within its Dor
ders. This would be a great
promise for it's future il
there were 20 other promises
Enter, Oklahoma, newest
star in the galaxy of states,
shining purity and peace.
