We Must Have Good Roads
Ten Good Reasons Among the Many
Why the Good Roads Bond Issue
should Carry.
BEcAUsE

az Construction win commence In
at least ten sections OF the state at
the same time, and progress contin-
uously therein until the entire system
Is completed
(2) Remunerative employment will
be furnished to thousands OF returning
soldiers and sailors and the problem
OF unemployment will be solved in
this state for the next seven years.
(3) The rural communities OF the
state which are far behind the cities
and towns In school and transporta-
tion facilities will be encouraged and
aided in making rapid development
(4) The railroads are lighting the
proposition because motor vehicle
transportation lines will spring up in
competition and cheaper freight and
express rates, and because they are
required to help maintain the road
80 1t is the only method OF secur-
ing statewide system OF permanent
roads within the lifetime OF the pres
ent generation.
(6) Because it is recognized as the
only sound financial method. Califor
mia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Mich
igan have already adopted such plan,
while Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa.
Tennessee and Texas are submitting
the same question.
O Because Governor j. b. A. Rob
ertson recognizes his responsibility
and is determined to make this prop.
Osition success, and only the men
of the highest character and integrity
will be chosen for the commission that
is to plan and carry ON this great
work
go Because Oklahoma is progress
i've and confident OF her future and
will not permit obstructionists, repre-
senting sordid and unknown interests,
to retard her future development.
(9J Because the whole subject OF
state progress hinges upon the neces-
sity Of better highways The farmer,
the stock raiser, the oil man, the min
er, the retailer and the professional
man have each vital interest in good
roads.
(10) Because the opponents of the
bond issue, whether railroad attorN
neys, ambitious politicians or dis
gruntled Office seekers are either total
ly insincere or woefully ignorant of the
lessons of experience when they say
they can build state system of good
roads without bond issue
l. The entire system of 4,67O miles
can be built within six or seven years
1t will cost about $40 900 10000, which
is provided by the $5c ,000, ,00O,O 90 bond
issue and federal aid money amount
ing to ct least $20,0O00O0.0 before
the system is completed.
g. No bonds can be sold until the
money is needed to pay the cost OF
construction actually done, and then
only enough to pay the amount due.
No bonds will draw interest until they
are sold. The commission only let

MANY SOLDIERS
REGISTER WITH
SPECIAL BOARD

Washington, May 2,--Rapid prog
ress is being made in reaching the
disabled soldiers, sailors and mar
ines, who have received such disa
bilities as a result OF service that
they require vocational retraining
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education, designated by Congress
to rehabilitate the disabled, reports
a total of 57,6ll cases OF disabili.
ties registered. This Is an increase
over the preceding month OF 1902
cases, or 4S per cent. The increase
in the number of cases for the
month of February over the month
Of January was 79 per cent, and the
increase of January over December
was 80 per cent, and the increase
for December over November was
80 per cent. The average rate OF
increase for the four months being
GO per cent
The source of these cases is as
follows: From the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, 1O,2Sl; from the De-
partment OF Labor, III; from the
Red Cross, 6,710; from the hospitals,
34,063; from the men direct. 4,725;
from other agencies, 1,765. Con
tact has been established in 40,276
cases. The vocational advisers of
the Federal Board have completed
surveys in 32,730 cases. These pre-
liminary surveys are the necessary
basis and foundation for future ac-
ton, and it is upon these records
that the training awarded the dis
abled men is based Necessarily it
is a slow process to make an ex-
haustive survey of each case, CO.
ordinated with the personal desires
and wishes of the patient, and fin
ally arrive at a course suitable for
the man and which he personally
desires to follow.
OF the surveyed cases, 1902 have
been recommended for approval,
and 1859 cases have been approved,
and training has begun in 1896
cases. Thirteen have completed
and 80, for one reason or
mother, have voluntarily discontin-
ped training.
