The Greatest Issue
Ever Before Oklahoma
Tuesday May 6th the voters of Oklahoma are to be given an op-
portunity to declare if they desire
50 Million. Dollars For
Hard Surf ace Roads
The Legislature yth only fOurdisffenting votestN declared in fa-
vor of the State building (without cost to the individual taxpay-
ers) a state-wide system of MaiMJrt. will
Advance the value of every foot 61 lartd in Oklahoma
Make country Ufe worth while to the farmers-the greatest users
of our highways
Stop the squandering of public funds on dirt roads as is now be-
ing done in every county.
That will connect every county-seai? town in the state.
The Big Features of the Proposed Bond
Issue Are:
Roads donated by the state to each County without' cost
i'
Construction costs defrayed by (AY gas and automobile tax.
Construction to be along lines approved by the federal Govern-
ment which fa necessary to secure HtiandaVafd fro'rn'triat source
Government aid) plus fifty million dollars from sale of bonds will
build every fdot of road propoteilby tne Legislature.
NO OPPONENT CAN SHOW HOW CONNECTING HARD
SURFACE ROADS IN OKLAHOMA CAN BE SECURED
OTHERWISE.
