Coed Roads Supported.
Il will favor a system OF good
roads and will do everything in my
power to encourage the building OF
them by cooperating with and as
sisting in all county, township and
local projects. | favor the working
% state and county convicts in the
construction of good roads wherever
il can be done without competing
with free labor.
Labor Is Discussed.
Labor Is entitled to a fair and
competent wage, and all industries
under the protection of the laws OF
the sta te of Oklahoma slould be re-
CURED to provide a wage scale suf-
ficient to maintain the laborer and
his family. There can be no such
thing as stable society in any com
munity where labor Is u%nderpaid.
industrial enterprises never prosper
where laborers are discontinued.
Agriculture.
oklahoma is primarily an agri.
cultural state. but its agricultural.
as well as its industrial resources,
require encouragement. ] shall
favor SUCH legislation as will help
the farmers in developing the agri-
cultural resources Of this state. /
am q strong believer in the teaching
of agriculture and farm industries
through club work to the children
in the rural schools, and will favor
liberal support from the state in
bringing these advantages to the
children on the farm.
THE greatest degree of happiness
and prosperity can be obtained only
when the farmer can own the land
which he tills. In order that farmers
may W their homes it is important
that they be enabled to secure
money at a low rate of interest. 1t
has been my pleasure and duty. as
a member of the board of school
land commissioners, to assist in
loaning many millions CT dollars to
the farmers of this state on farm
at . per cent interest, and to
assist many tenant farmers in Sc

owership act which was passed in
1919. | am in favor Of the state
arranging, through the proper au-
shorities, to cooperate with the fed
5ral land board and assist the
in making loans through !.
hat board. ! believe in the system
cooperative marketing as organ.
zed by the cotton and wheat
of this state, and will sup.
,ort such laws as will make this
'lan more helpful to the farmers.
