In revenue raising were suggested by
Senator J. Elmer Thomas of Lawton,
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations.
In brief, Senator Thomas pointed
the way, citing figures from otliclal
j documents, whereby a state aid fund
I can be created by the state with help
j from the federal government, which
will yield $15,000,000 in three years
and which will increase during sub-
sequent years. He proposes that each
county, which votes road bonds shall
receive a portion of this fund, prob-
ably dollar for dollar, similar to I lie
distribution of the federal road fund.
Senator Thomas merely suggested
the general outlines and possibilities
of the scheme, leaving the details

Thomas' Proposal.
Senator Thomas proposed that the
names of the three commissioners be
se ec ed in advance and placed in
the road bill it«eif flo that the peo
Pie might know who was goinK to
handle the money before they" voted
on the appropriation.
In opposition to this plan, Senator
t- U Davidson proposed that the
I ?°ro^lsBl°ners be not named in the
| ''I", hut be selected later by the gov-
j ernor and confirmed by the senate.
Suggestions on salaries for the
; commissioners varied. Senator Thorn-
j ™ said .t should not be ie*s than
' 1 year- Senator Davidson fa
j vored 10,000 a year and Senator
'I rank Carpenter declare<l that the
salary should not be more than ft,000
j at the most.
I The 6'imination of the state high-
way engineer a, a mamber of the
; ^mmissioo virtually was agreed up
I on at the committee meeting- The
, original bill called for a commission
: ot five It appears now that the plan
adopted will be for «n

senate for the iirst time through de-
bate on a bill by Senator K p Hill
which proposed the establishment of
