Gov. Robertson
States His Position
Oklahoma City, April 28.—"The
road bond issue in a nut-she!l is
whether the people of Oklahoma
county without cost a system of
hard-surfaced roads, or whether
we shall continue to squander
mil? onr of dollars on dirt roads
according to the dictates of sev-
enty : i ven distinct county plans
of proceedure," said Governoi
.1. B. A. Robertson today. "1 ap-
peal to the individual voter to
look about him and see the result
of road work under the present
system and to show if he can
where ho can hope to secur ■
er but never will the state have a
complete and well organized sys-
tem. The state plan is a better
one.
"No, I do not think $50,000,000
is too much to put into this in-
vestment at this time. I am in
favor of the large bond issues
for such projects, and it seems to
.me that Oklahoma should not de-
lay the beginning. Your state is
rich now. Your farmers have in
prospect a wonderful crop. You
have great oil fields with new
derricks going up every day and
with new fields befng opened up.
"You have large wealth coming

vRoads proposition, believing it
will be to the great benefit of ev-
ery citizen of Oklahoma—just as
they Were in favor of the great ap-
propriations they gave to the state
institutions in Cleveland county
because they believed such appro-
priations were for the great good
of the state at large. Cannot the
ailizens of Norman and Cleveland
county take the judgment ,of Gov.
Robertson and the Legislature on
the bond proposition as well as up-
on the matter of appropriations?
W ill they slap Gov. Robertson and
the Legislature in the face by vot-
ing against the proposition after
receiving so great benefits from
them? The Transcript cannot be-
lieve they will; does not believe
they will show such a spirit of
non-appreciation.
The Oklahoma State Hospital
located on the cast side of Nor-
man received an appropriation of
anproximatly $1 000.000 for new
buildings and improvements, and
Gov. Robertson is insistant that it
be made one of the great Hospit-
als of the southwest. The insti-
tution is one that almost any coun-
ty in Oklahoma would give many
thousands of dollars to have it lo-
cated in their midst, and it has
come to Cleveland county without
campus; a showing that i
make other counties of the •
Itel fiat Cleveland is among
mos tfavored of any county it
state. Do the citizen: of Norman
and Cleveland county apprec iate
this great institution or realize
what it means to them.'
When the 1919-20 school year
opens in September the university
will have nine brick* and stone
buildings in addition to the armo-
ry for the use of the R. O. 1. C.
The new library an*l the new ge-
ology buildings will both be ready
for occupancy at that time. 1 he
other buildings arc administration
ball, law, chemistry, auditorium,
engineering, and the old library
and science buildings.
It is believed that the •university
will not t'#n hav • sufficient root.i
to relieve congested classroom and
laboratory conditions which have
prevailed at the university at all
times since the university was es-
tablished in 1893. Two thousand
or more resident students are ex-
pected nejt September and crowd-
ed conditions will continue but the
new buildings wil help take care
of them.
Woman's Building in Year.
One year later, the new woman's
building, given the university by
the last legislature, probably will
be constructed and ready for use.
This building will fill a need long
felt at the university and undoubt-
edly will greatly increase the num-
ber of women students attending
the fmfcersity. In past years the
proportion of men to women stu-
dents has been about two to one.
The war decreased the number of
men here this year and the propor-
tion is about 40 per cent wort en
of the 1,400 students.
