Governor Vetoes the Havens
Statehood Bill His
Reasons.
Oov. Barnes today sent to the legis-
lature a mussRgu vetoing the Havens
statehood bill ills message in full
follows :
K.VK0UT1VK OKFICB )
avTlllttK Ok. Maroh 0 1S0U..J
To the Honorable Council. Fifth Legislative
Atwmbiy:
Ocntlomen I baUevo that the peo
pic of Oklahoma dosire statcho&d in
tho Ainerrvau union because it Is the
best form of free government known
to the children of men and I am In
hearty sympathy with this desire and
purpose but 1 do not believe all
things considered thnt thu enactment
of this bill Into a law would advance
the Interests of Oklahoma toward the
fruition of our hopes one Iota.
No sincere man will for a moment
contend the statement that u state
government would bo much more ex-
pensive to maintain than is our pres-
ent territorial government.
The expenses of a state government
must be borne by taxation of the
property of the people and the peo-
ple of Oklah tnu who pay tho tax s
are not now in condition nor do they
wish to assume any additional burden
of character. It is true that our peo-
plo have been generally prosperous
for the past two years but It is as
woll for those who have in keeping
the welfare of tho state as it is for the
Individual to consider carefully the re
sults of any proposed .enterprise be-
fore taking a step that will incur ad-
ditional obligations and increased
assessments to meet them. We should
not forget that Oklahoma Is in some
respec s as yet an experiment. Wo
might have a recurrence of tho dry
seasons of 1804 and lS'.i.l.
This bill provides for the holding of
two special elections the expenses of
which mtibt be born by the several
counties. Thlb added to the expense
of the proposed constitutional con-
vention will amount In the aggregate
to not less than 40000 or perhaps to
us much as 6U0 000. This expend! ure
should not be made unless we-aro sure
of receiving therefor a borrcspouding
beneQt.
1 he recent action of congr ss refus-
ing to ratify treaties with tho Ctierc.
kees and Creeks pledging the United
States to a pjllcy of continued separa-
tion of the two territories Is signifi-
cant to the thoughtful mind and Indi-
cates a well settled and determined
purpose in the minds of senators and
representatives never to admit Okla-
homa and the Indian territory as two
statu- and I feel sure that the ulti-
mate destiny of the two states Is that
of blngle statehood.
This being true to hold a constitu-
tional convention at this time to f(.rm
a'constitullon fur Oklahoma upon the
lines laid down in this bill would not
udvaucu the matter In the slightest de-
gree but on tho contrary would re-
tard and hinder the growth of a
h althful political sentiment tn the In-
dian territory In favor of such a union.
With tho Indian territory incorpo
rated with Oklahoma in one statu we
would place & stur upon the Uigof
of our country whose lustre would not
bo dimmed by the coustellutiou of
magnificent states by which wo are
surrounded. Our varied resources of
timber mineral agricultural and
grazing lands would forever furnish
the necessary supplies to pay tlie ex-
pense of a first class state government
and enable us to build and maintain
penal reformatory and elemosynary
Institutions that would compare favor-
ably with those of the most advanced
and progressive peoples and all with-
out the people who must always pay
the tax s for tbe support of th gov-
ernment feeling iu the slightest de-
gree the burden of excessive demand
by the tax gatherer.
On the other hand Oklahoma with
her. resources restricted to agriculture
and the raising of cattle without the
hope even of development of coal or
other minerals in paying quantities
or of tho development of tnanufactur
ing Industries would ba but a weak
and feeble commonwealth In the great
sisterhood ot states.
We have never as yet raised a rev-
enue in any one year sufficient to pay
tho tunnlngexpenses of our territorial
government and a casual deficit has
b(wn steadily increasing year by yetr.
By reason of the federal limitations
upon our debt creating power
ai.d by reason of a careful and
economical administration of territor-
ial laws aided In no small degree by
the general government which pays a
large share of our governmental ex-
penses we have been able to maintain
the credit und good name of thu terri-
tory. Our taxable valuation placed
last year at about forty million was
the subject of much criticism by the
people and the very first bill passed
by the honorable house of represuuta
tlves of your honorable nidy was to
reduce sail vuluatlon to th(ty-two
million dollars
1 assume therefore thut the
reip'e do not wish to Incur the i
expeutu of two special e euttotis and of
holding a constitutional convention
without better prcspeuU of ctuellorut-
ine the condition of ufTalrs than this
bill seems to offer.
I theref re feel constrained to re
turn council bill No 17 u lng an act
providing fof the formation of a con-
stitution .ud state government for the
state of Ok ahoma to the honorable
council In wbloh It orlgnated without

Bill Passed
The apportionment bill which wan
dlsetisa yesterday afternoon and
passed today In tho counotl Is conMd-
ered to bo a rank partisan measure.
Hustons bill as introduced was evi-
dently n t strong enough for the He-
pub lean leaders and Havens Kent In n
substitute which pressed tho limit of
partisan legislation. Uavous has
fathered all such matters slnci thu lm.
ginning of the session and is evident-
ly possessed of the Idea that he In hire
for the solo purpose of exterminating
all opposing political parlies so as to
be safe for t' e United Mtatoa senate
ometlmu. The apportionment bill
ivas. of course bitterly opposed by the
minor ly anu was passed by a strictly
(artisan vote
Williamson's banking bill which is
said to bo tho product of Bank Rxntn-
Iner I'ugh occupied tho attention of
the council during most of the after-
noon hesston yesterday. it was re-
commended favorably.
Last night mokt pf the time was
tuhon up Iu discussion of a bill to
.ever Indian lands from Oklahoma for
all purposes of taxation exeunt for
judicial purposes. Blddlsnu fought
the measure to Its last llnlt.li and said
It was being pjifhed by tho rullroad
und cattle men. In this position he
was supported Uy Garrison Wlukler
anu lieiiamy.
Other bills adopted were the public
weigher wit .ess fees nnd cauui anu
lish.
For tho first tlmo this session the
council tried to meet at 9 o'clock this
numlng but the president did not
arrive until llftccn minutes later and
several members were absent when his
gaveLfoll. A call of tho houso was
ordered two 01 three times boforo all
the members wore In their seats.
In committee of thu whole a number
of bills were passed Including the
dentist bill the Langston college bill
and a bill authorizing a territorial
geologist.
dandy's normal bill was next taken
up. Olarku took thu lloor In opposition
and spoku for ao hour against uny
recognition of the building at Alva
lie urged thut It was built without
authority and the legislature should
not sot the precedent of legalizing
such work. He complimented the
seiia or from Woods Mr. dandy upon
his diligence and untiring service In
behalf of his people and his school.
Kcuator OnrrlBon followed in defense
ot the formal Ho said if Mi Clarke
had 1 ved iu colonial times he would
have opposed tho Innovation of a
republic and havo favored tho art clou
of confederation. He would vote fur
tho bill but was not strenuous and
said congress will be appealed to If
thu legislature falls. Tho bill only
asks an Investigation and payment on
the basis of a report
Senator Uanuy said ho was only ask-
ing that the matter bu investigated;
ho not buliovo tho building cost $8f -D'10
and would oppose payment of any
steal but ho believed thu actual cost
should be paid and If it wus not done
ho thought the whole amount of con-
tract price would bo collected from
tho territory. Tim ultimate suvlng by
the passage of this bill ho estimated
would bo 31200(1. All bo wanted was
a fair und Impartial Investigation and
action upon thut basis.
During the dltcuhslon thu council
adjiiirut'd for the noon recess
'WIitiiihui HrNtliiu. s
Whin the council met this afternoon
It heard the report of tho conference
comuiltteo on dandy's assessor bill and
agreed lo tho same. The conference
struck out section 3 which provided
for assessors holding meetings iu the
school llOllbCU.
Tho con'orcncc report on the school
land bill was laid over being strongly
objected to by several councillors
Tlio govurnors private srorctury ap
peared with another veto message re-
turning council bill No. 2 without ap-
proval. This Is tho bill to prevent tho
issuance of warrants in excess of up
proprtatlons and prohibiting dealing
in warrants by any public otlleer. In
his mebsage the governor says that
laws aro now In effect covering the
first proposition and that the latter
would seriously cripple the vuluu of
warrants. He also take occasion to
roast the legislature for not doing
more prior to tho seth day ot the
umIoii.
Chairman Blddlson aue Immedi
ately after the mosnago wus rad aud
submitted thu long anticipated report
of the Investigating committee to-
gether with a supplemental report by
Senator Clarke
Tho report is t'o lengthy to be given
today but It Is considered to be the
lugltlinite prod u-1 of the oouiprom so
elfuotod 'his week between thu ad
ministration and Its erstwhile antaiio
nlsts No recommendation is made In
the report that is worth one tenth of
the amount that the whole tarcu has '
cost the people of the territory. The
most that it (Iocs Is to beg the question
in toto by charging all the rottenness
not upon public otllcUls charged with
he execution of thft law but to the
leuislature which unacted laws to be
construed by the administrative
branch of the government It is all
that has been expected of the commit
tee sicca It became known that u ma-
jority of Its mem e's had lain do.vn
