vested in roads which will be
Ipermanent. This only means that
we shall have better roads with
little, if any, increase in taxes.
The assertion has been made
that under the terms of the pro-
posed amendment Grady county
viii not get her fair share Of the
roads but, if you viii get out the
map and measure it, you will find
that this county gets something
over 100 miles Of roads although
based upon the the ratio Of the
county's assessed valuation to the
total amount of taxable property
in the state, we would be en-
titled to less than 90 miles. IT is
simple mathematical calculation
make it for yourself
But, it is alleged, not more than
half of the proposed mileage can
be built with the money available
from the bond issue. 1t is really
astonishing how much the price
of hard-surface roads has in
creased since the Daily Oklaho-
man took the field against the
bonds. Only few months ago,
that great paper declared that
such roads could be built for
$1,000 or $4,000 a mile, citing the
cost of the California roads, but
now the same authority says the
roads will cost $4,000 or more
and the opponents of the bonds
checrfully accept its assertion.
Now it is well known that
the legislative committees that

graft. Shall we refuse to build
roads because we are afraid a
similar commission, surrounded
by all kinds of safe guards, will
steal our money? If we wait I'LL
the last possibility of dishonesty
in the handling Of public business
is eliminated, we shall never build
amy roads.
A number of progressive states
are now launching extensive road
building programs and all Of
them are resorting to bond issues
because, as every fdir-minded
man must admit, that is the only
way a large business undertaking
can be carried out. Instead Of
paying out money which is worth
to the man who has it at least
eight or ten per cent, they Will
borrow it for les sthan five per
cent, bulld the roads, let the pres |
cnt generation have use Of them,
see their property values in
creased and enjoy all the benefits
resulting from them. The Okla
homa plan upon which the
voters will give their decision to-
morrow, is based upon the same
practical and sound ideas. VIII
Oklahoma voters catch the vision
OF a greater state-immeasurably
greater because of a genuine state
system Of real roads-and give
their approval to the plan which
was worked out by the legisla-
tlre after nearly three months of
the vote, or will they heed the
pleas of those who through lack
of vision or motives Of their own,
would hold back the wheels Of

own part we prefer to accept fig
ures coming from these sources
instead Of taking the word of the

be noted, the opponents Of The
bonds carelessly or Intentionally,
fail TO tell that in addition to
the proceeds Of the bond issue,
the state will receive federal aid
to the amount Of approximately
S2I 100000 before the roads au-
thorized by the amendment are
completed.
In one breath the opponents
Of the pending proposition tell US
they are in favor Of the "pay as
you po' method Of road building
and in the next they recommend
the Thomas plan which if put into
execution, would call for ii bond
issue in every county. 1t seems
that state bonds are wholly evil
while county bonds are innocent
and unobjectionable. Senator
Thomas would have one third Of
the cost Of the roads paid fol by
the county and anybody with a
gram of glmpt,on knows that it
could be done only by bond
isoGe. Does anybody believe we
wohld ever have a state system
CT roads if we waited fer all the
counties, or even any consider
able proportion of them, to vote
bonds?
If the voter will read and |
study carefully the provisions Of
the amendment, instead of taking
the word of those who flagrantly
it, we believe he
win reach the conclusion that
better bill could scarcely be
drawn and that every possible
is taken to insure the
proper expenditure of the money

graft, all will agree and the same
might be said of any other meth

be devised. With the checks that
are thrown about the road com

The foregoing question will be
decided by the voters Of the state
tomorrow. Upon the answer
which is given will depend
whether the state will have a
real system of hard-surface roads
or will 90 on as in the past,
spending millions annually for
dirt roads which last but little
longer than it takes to make
them.
Opponents of the road bonds,
in pointing to the huge burden of
taxation which they claim will re-
suit from the issuance of the
bonds. talk as if the entire cost
Of the proposed roads will be an
addition to the taxes already
levied when as a matter of fact
they know that the money now
wasted ON dirt roads, together
with the increasing amount Of
revenue derived from auto
licenses, will practically pay the
principal of the bonds. This lit
tie weak spot in their argument
seems to have escaped their mo-
lice but intelligent voters who
have studied the question for
themselves will not overlook it.
The adoption Of the amendment
will mean that the state will
cease to waste the tax payers
money on roads that are useless

away or cut to pieces during a
dry spell and that the money
