it shall appear to be necessary, hereby devotes irrevocably to the
payment of the interest on, and principal of, said bonds, any monies
in the General Revenue Fund of the State of Oklahoma not otherwise
obligated, committed or appropriated, and the State Treasurer is
directed to apply such General Revenue Fund of the State of Oklahoma
for such purpose. The State of Oklahoma further pledges to the
purchasers, owners and holders of said bonds that it will, if and
when it shall appear to be necessary, impose and collect a tax and

agents thereof, so long as any of the interest on, or principal of,
said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid. The Commission is
authorized to make such other equally-binding covenants and
agreements, not inconsistent with this act or Section 38 of Article
