fifty million dollars must be paid

"The "Thomas" Plan.
Speaking Of the Thomas" plan
designed by Senator Elmer Thomas,
Of Lawton, which plan was defeated
unanimously in the last Legislature,
Governor Robertson said; "The an
tagonizers Of the $5O,O00,00O road
bond issue, speak of the Thomas
plan, and make vague attempts to
merit it. There is no Thomas plan
before the people The Lawton man
attempted to get his measure before
the people, but the legislature voted
it down. Therefore, if the proposed
amendment is voted down May 6,
Oklahoma's roads will remain the
same for at least two years"

ROAD BONDS WIN FAVOR.

That there has been a tremen-
douS increase in sentiment in
favor Of the road bonds during
the past week, is not open to
question. 1t is due largely to the
fact that the people have begun
TO discover that the bill which
will be voted upon next Tuesday
has been grossly misrepresented
and they are reading and study
ing the measure itself instead Of
swallowing what it's opponents
say about it. As the light has
been turned on, the forces fight
ing the bill have been compelled
to shift their positions from time
TO time, abandoning many objec-
tions which they originally adj
vanced. For example, at the out
set it was declared that the state
would get no federal aid under
the proposed bill-and this as
sumption runs through an adver-
tisement printed in this paper to-
day-althoagh the bill specifical-
ly covers this point and it is esti-
mated that $24, 100000 will be re-
ceived from this source. 1t re-
quired only the publication Of the
text Of the bill to explode this
canard.
A noteworthy development in
the discussion of the bill this week |
was the statement issued by Bart |
b. Howard, until few days ago |
editorial writer for the Daily Ok
lahoman, announcing his support |

the Pharisees answered, saying, Mas

Grafton seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be given to it, but
the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and
three nights in the whales belly. so
shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the
earth.
The men of Ninneveh shall rise in

la pay-asyou-go basis, as the bond
opponents are asking us to do
the consequences would be-not a
panic, but stagnation paralysis,
destruction
"The principle involved in
this bond plan is the vital, indis-
pensable principle Of credit; it
undertakes to utilize the credit Of
the state by borrowing money.
And unless we 90 utilize our
credit and borrow money on olr
resources and character we shah
never build state system Of per-
manent highways. For the pro
ject is too big to be accomplished
Oh the archaic, abandoned pay-as-
you-go method.
"The bond plan is not only
sound in principle, but it is sound
in form. You have seen what
former President Taft said about
the community or county plan.
II has never built a comprehcn-
sive, co-ordinated system Of high
ways anywhere Every state in
the union has tried it. Always
the result is the same. A mile or
two Of good roads here-a hum
dred miles Of mud roads just be-
yond. That is how the county |
plan has worked out always
"In the present discussion the
county plan is known as the
Thomas plan. Senator J. Elmer
Thomas is its reputed father.
Well, he isn't. He might better
be charged with abduction. The
county plan of road building is
the child Of all the states. 1t is
beautiful and precocious child as
Senator Thomas pictures it, but
in real life that child has been a
hopeless incorrigible. Always anti
everywhere it has proved a grief
and a disappointment. The his
toric name Of the Thomas plan is
Mud. And if j. Elmer Thomas
can mislead the people of Oklaho-
ha into rejecting the bond plan
md continuing the county plan,
Ic will be known in the annals Of
Oklahoma as Mud Road Thomas
If Comanche. "

Of the amendment. 1t seems that
he was not convinced by the
| bnnc which his paper had been
putting out. In his statement Mr..
Howard said in part;
" Without disrespect to the OPP
ponents Of the road bond plan, F."
the statement says, mot one Of
them has advanced one single ar
gument Of substance against the
bonds. AS a matter of fact there
is only one objection that can be
urged against this proposal. That
objection is this: If Governor
Robertson is a crook-if the lead
ing business and professional men
of this state are crooks--if they
and the governor are conspiring
to plumber the state-if, instead
If building a great state system
of highways, they are plotting a
saturnalia Of graft that will damn
everyone Of them forever-if that
is the condition of moral bank
ruptcy 10 which we have come,
then by all means we should all
vote against the bond plan, But
if this wretched indictment is
false, then everyone man and
woman in Oklahoma should vote
for the road bond plan Tuesday. |
"Now as to the road bond plan.
That this plan is sound in prin-
ciple admits of no question. 1t |
is in universal use. The motive |
power of the modern businesc
world is credit. If the modern
business world were to abandon

are virtually no better than when

Why Not Bonds?
Rebutting statements made by
those fighting the bill that the state
should not be bonded for such a
vast amount, Governor Robertson
stated:
