BUILD REAL BONDS NOW

After reading the full text Of
the $50,0O0,000 good roads
amendment which is to be voted
upon by the people Of Oklaho-
ma, on June 6, we have decided
that the measure is the victim of
a vast amount Of mis-informa-
ton that is being dispensed by
its opponents. For example, it
is frequently alleged that this
amendment makes no effort to
meet the conditions whereby the
state may obtain federal aid in
the building Of good roads. AS
matter Of fact, precisely the
contrary is true, specific provi-
sion being made for taking adj
vantage Of the offer Of the fed
eral government. In the face of
such gross misrepresentation,
the only safe course for the citi-
zen who would form a correct
judgment is to apply himself to
a study Of the amendment it.

that the man who studies it i'm

will be found supporting it on

FINISH THE JOB

Pointing out and answering
some Of the objections that, are
raised by those who are not
eager to buy Victory bonds, the
Liberty loan committee has is
sued the following appeal to the
people of Oklahoma:
As a citizen Of state which
has met every war demand, one
OF your principal duties should
be to put forth an earnest and
definite effort to create favor
able public sentiment and over
come a spirit of Indifference and
" the tendency toward minimum
effort which exists in many
people at this time. There is no
glamour about this loan and as
some one has said it is going
to take "3 O'Clock in the morn
ing courage" to put it over. In
a great measure, it rests with
you to see that this country
rises to the opportunity of pay
ing its debts and meeting it's OBJ
legations to the men who died
IN France.
II should be your duty and
privilege, to meet and answer
the objections which are being
presented by the unthinking
public. There is given below, a
few objections being advanced
by the public and suggested an

will be selling much above par.
We are promised, however that
the Victory Liberty bond will be
as good as that first Liberty
bond which has never sold be-
low 90 and has been quoted as
high as 102.
Objection No. 5. Let the
bankers do it.
Answers, Do you realize the
consequences to business if this
idea We're really carried out?
The bankers can not buy these
bonds and also loan money to
you at the same time. If you
want business to be as usual,
buy the bonds.
Objection No. 6. The bonds
should be sold to investors only.
Answer: You owe debt Of
honor to the boys who went to

guments pro and con-and, by
the way, most of the published
discussion has been chiefly of
the icon" variety-and we have
also considered carefully the
counter plan preseted by Sena-
ator Thomas for whom we have
the highest regard To each of
these plans numerous objections
can be raised and each has much
to commend it but, as we view
it, the method offered by the
Legislature presents the only di-
rect route to the solution Of the
good roads problem. We agree
with the views expressed by the
Tulsa World in the following
editorial:
The longer Oklahoma delays
the commencement Of good roads
construction the longer she will
remain in the class of non-pro-
gressive states, and the harder
it will be eventually for her to
gain place in the front ranks
where she belongs
The proposition as framed in
the bill which finally was adopt
ed by the legislature may not be
just what some Of us would have
preferred, but it furnishes
starting point, and if the state
can get good highways under its
provisions the people cannot af-
ford to turn it down in the hope
Of sometime in the distant fu-
ture getting something better.
Transportation is the coming
great problem, and the state
which hangs back for fear Of
graft or for any other reason,
is just letting other states throw
sand in her eyes.
Hard surface roads will in
crease the value Of every tillable
acre of land in the state for be-
yond the taxable expense,
whether located along the high
way or not.
They mean increased profit to
the farmer for his produce and
decrease in the high cost Of liv-
ing to the city people.
They mean not only a long
step forward, but they will put
Oklahoma on the map.
They mean, also, employment
for not only the returning sol
diers, but all others seeking
work, and who are not afraid of |
being inoculated with germs
from the handles of the scraper,
the spade and the pick.
There is no more reason to be- !

fingers in the expenditure Of |
lhe funds than from any other
public enterprise. 1t must be as

ping. OF course this is stale and

ly suggested every year, and every
year little or no attention is paid to
the admonition. 1t seems useless to re-
peat the suggestion. People do just as
they please, anyhow, and they gener-
'ally please to put off buying holiday
presents until the last minute when
stores are crowded most Of the goods
long paved over and the best taken,
and then when selections are hastily
made at the elevnth hour the purchas-
er usually repents at leisure after
wards, thinking of something he or
she would rather have bought than the
article picked up when the rush was
on. You will feel better and make
more satisfactory purchases by max
ing selections in advance of Christ
