upon receiving said taxes and schedules from the Oklahoma Tax

bonds shall constitute the primary revenue dedicated to the payment

of the interest on, and the principal of, the bonds issued

hereunder, but it is further pledged, for the purchasers, owners and

holders of said bonds, that the State of Oklahoma, if and when it

shall appear to be necessary hereby devotes irrevocably to the

payment of the interest on and the principal of said bond, 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 devote the proceeds thereof, or so much thereof as

interest of the bonds issued hereunder as they come due. The bonds

issued hereunder, and the interest thereon, shall be general

obligations of the State of Oklahoma, and the full faith, credit and

shall be binding upon said state and the Legislature, officers,

instrumentalities and agents thereof, so long as any of the interest
