CRUCE STATEMENT AN
ALYZED.

Former Governor Lee Cruce
recently published statement
setting forth his opposition to
| the $50000,000 hard surface
roads plan. The contentious Of
Governor Cruce have been care
fully considered and the follow
ing analysis Of the former gov
ernor's view is given publicity
by the Oklahoma News, Oklaho-
ma City:
Lee Cruce is a sincere man.
He has the courage of his con-
victions. But, in the opinion OF
the News, he has missed the
heart Of the whole good roads
subject. The outstanding fea-
lures Of the Cruce statement
are:
He regards the whole PROPOSE
tion as an expense and Overlooks
entirely the investment. He
warns of the cost and he fears
the debt, but he doesn't take
into consideration, whether
through this expenditure for
good roads more money will be
returned than is spent. The
News contends that more money,
MANIFOLD will be returned.
If the world had followed the
Cruce theory of regarding as
hazardous the investment which
increases efficiency we would
still be using spinning wheels.
A newspaper, for example,
would never spend thousands Of
dollars for linotypes if the in
vestment did not pay. 1t would
continue to set type by hand.
A farmer would not invest in
modern machinery, but would
use the scythe to cut his grain
and the flail to thresh it.
We can debate this financial
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-04-30

thing up one side and down the
other, but we cannot get away
from the fact that good roads,
when we once get them pay.
How they pay can be found in
hundreds of public records,
from the capital at Washington
down.
The Cruce statement sounds
plausible on first reading. 1t is
well written. But, analyzed, it
resolves itself into shallow
preachment, a penny-wise-fool-
ish doctrine, a doctrine OF false
economy, based apparently, on a
very little information and a
whole lot of misinformation,
Oklahoma must have good
roads. The experience OF this
and other states has demonstrate
ed that the so-called county unit
system, which is in this instance
the Thomas plan, does not bring
good roads and that such a sys-
tenn as that upon which votes
arc TO be. cast May 6 is the only
method by which we can secure
Il statewide system Of hard sur
faced, durable, 365 days in the
year, good roads that go some
where.
A vote against the bonds is any
admission that you prefer the
scythe to the mower, the fail to
thrcsher, the quill pen to the
typewriter, the one hoss shay to
the automobile and the candle
to the electric light.

Comparatively Few Amputa'

Amputations in the American Army
were so few in comparison to the total
number of casualties that the limb

difficulty in providing artificial devices

Mccarthy Hanger, general manager

that the total industrial casualties per
annum in normal occupations in this
country have been as high as 100000,
and the total amputations among these

of $500 amputations ins the American
Army in the war, and commented upon
it as one of the things the people of
