IN TIE BALANCE

Iulsa's future hangs in the balance
again today. Never in the history Of
the city has a bond issue been turned
down by the citizenship. II bonds had
not been voted there would be no
watcrworks system. no $500. coo high
school, no ward schools. no $3.50 600
bridge across the Arkansas, no sewer
system or no other public improve
ments that We could boast Of and point
to with pride.
Today Tulsa county Is called upon
to vote, S1,75O.OOO in bonds for the
construction OF system of paved
roads that Will connect this city with
every town in the county. Are these
roads to be built purely for pleasure?
Not hardly. They are 10 be built for
the same reason that interurban lines
are built-to solve n transportation
problem. TO provide the residents OF
rural communities with means Of got
ting to town in all kinds Of weather
and in ;he quickest possible time. They
are TO eliminate the 100000 that is
being expended annually by the conn
~ now TO maintain dirt roads that are
no good at the best. They are 10 make
il possible for oil men and other Tuls-
ans TO reach their holdings thruout the
county.
Paved roads will do as much for
Tulsa as interurbans. There is not n
man, woman or child. In the county
who will not benefit directly or in
directly IL these roads are built They
will enhance the value of property.
city ard rural. They will attract farm
crs and investors by the hundreds.
They will be as strong a magnet as
our public school system.
This Is the test of citizenship today.
Vote for the bonds and you vote for
progress.
Vote against the bonds and you vote
against your own interests.
no not vote at all and you commit
worse otfense than if you had voted

VlVlSECTION HAS AIDED DOC
Lives of Many Wounded Men Saved
As Result of Experiments.

when medical scientists 10 years
ago began their laboratory expert
mcnts in vivisection, the entire coun-
try arose in protest against this seem
Ing cruelty to animals. From coast
10 coast the press took up the bitter
fight against Vivisection.
Yet were II not for these painstak-
ing experiments in viviseCton, the IA
talities Of the European war would be
almost doubled. This is the opinion
of Or. A. 5. Warthin of Ann Harbor,
who lcCtured before the Wayne Coun-
ty Medical association recently.
Doctor Warthin told of marvellous
feats in surgical reconstruction being
performed on soldiers who in former
wars would have been left to die on
the field. lie recited instances of
men being given new faces and new
JAWS: of shattering wounds being
wholly patched over and eradicated by
the grating of new tissue He told
also how tissue Is being preserved in
cold storage in Europe TO be used on
wounded soldiers

Good work I'm Tulsa has been done
by the Lions club. Hundreds of tags

County Medical association, held
Jointly with the Tulsa Retail Mer-
chants association, both bodies adopted
unanimously n resolution introduced
by DR.. DeZell Hawley, city physician,
that II was the sense of the meeting
that both organizations favor the pas
sage of the bond issue and pledge
themselves to vote for the proposition
and to work thruout the day in the
interests of the election.
1t was agreed that workers will
meet at the Chamber of Commerce
room. at o'clock today, when they
will be assigned to various sections of
the city. Automobile owners are
especially urged to give the use of
their cars with drivers for all or part
of the day. Banners will be supplied
at the Chamber offices.

to sweep as far beyond it as possible.
The psychological and moral effect
OF going away beyond our original

let me point out that developments

make it absolutely essential that we
have far larger sum available.

Fourthly, the recent great increase il
