one of $295,236.40.
The Fifth legislature appropriated in
the general appropriation bill the sum
of $1,567,733.47 for the present year,
and $1,466,333.47 for the next. The
Fourth leligslature provided $1,053,-

for the last of that biennial.
For the years of 1916-17 the Fifth
legislature had to make, appropriations
for new emergencies—$45,000 for three
departments— $2,000 annually for the
state bar commission; $8,000 annually
for the state flre marshal; and $15,000
for the propagation of fish and gant<e.
There was also a deficiency of $2,751
in the game department to care for.
This was added to by appropriations of
$20,000 annually for the state game de-
prtment.
Actual Excess.
The actual excess in appropriations
; of the Fifth over the Fourth legis-
lature was $433,959.11. This was due
largely to the additional expenditures
for new buildings and new boards as

Total $544,500
With the new provisions eliminated,
the Fifth legislature appropriated
$110,540.89 less than the appropria-
tions of the legislature preceding.
Legislative Expenses.
The legislative expenses for the
Fifth totaled $155,000 of which $25,000
was a deficiency for the Fourth; the
expenses of the Fourth session were
$234,880.70.
The appropriations for the state in-
stitutions for the present year amount
to $1,938,574.68 and for the next year
$1,879,444.81. In the Fourth legislature
the total for the first year was $3,090,-
275.34; second, $1,731,733.75. The mis-
cellaneous appropriations of the Fifth
session amounted to $1,493,352.81, the
Fourth session having appropriated
$1,110,500.43.
Provisions for the new highway de-
i partnient; the state industrial com-
mission, which carries Into effect the
workmen's compensation act; the pur-
chase of the Norman Insane asylum
and the smaller acts which brought
about increased expenditures will not
be the cause of additional taxation, as
the legislature in the session closed
passed revenue bills estimated to
bring in indirect revenue that will not
fall below $1,500,000 annually. Nina-
teen state departments received
tlon which had been made by the Ar-
kansas commission, proposing that Ok-
lahoma share one-half of Its building.
'Governor Williams immediately re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gen-
eral for an opinion as to whether the
$5,000 appropriation by the last legis-
lature could be used in any other plan
or scheme besides the erection of an
Oklahoma building and the attorney
general held the question of the ex-
penditure of the money was entirely in
the discretion of the governor and the
commission.
According to the agreement the Ar-
kansas commission will sell Oklahoma
one-half of its building for $4,100,
which is $900 less than the amount ap-
propriated by the legislature. This is
considered by the governor as both a
practical and economical solution of
the proposition.
Prepare To Sell All Public Land
Thirty of the thirty-three newly ap-
pointed school land appraisers have
gone to the northwest part of the state
where the appraisement of all school
and other public state lands for sale
purposes will begin. Cam Gault. form-
erly an appraiser, but recently appoint-
ed superintendent, accompanied the
appraisers.
It is the announced policy of the
present commissioners of the land of-
fice to sell all public land, including
school lands not segregated tor min-
eral purposes, at the earliest possible
date. All lands will be reappraised
this year. All that has not been seg-
regated for oil and gas lease purposes
will be appraised for sale, and that
which has been segregated for min
eral purposes will be appraised foi
lease purposes. The plan of the board
to place all public lands on sale is
directly in accord with the wishes ol
the school land lessees' organization
May Recall Order On Mineral Leases.
Recall of the orders segregating foi
mineral lease purposes fourteen quar
ter sections of school land in the Deep
Fork Drainage District in LincolD
county, will be recommended by R. L.
Lunsford, oil and gas expert of the
state school land department, at the
next meeting of the commissioners of
the land office.
The land in question has been asses-
sed for drainage purposes, but accord-
ing to Its present situation the tax
can not be paid. The agricultural
lessee of the land can not be required
to pay it for he doesn't own the land,
and the state can not pay It because
there are no funds available out of
which the assessment could be paid.
The plan of the department is to lift
the segregation order so that the land
can be sold and the purchaser, who
will get the benefit of the drainage dis-
trict, can pay the drainage assessment

LESSON FOR MAY 2
SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVID.
LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 19:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT—Whoso putteth Ms
trust in the Lord shall be safe. Prov.
29:25.
Although anointed by Samuel, vic-
torious In arms and promoted at court,
David was many years In reaching his
throne. At first both court and army
did him honor (ch. 18:2), yet he con-
ducted himself with great modesty
(18:18, 23). He also obeyed the king
explicitly though he knew fully that
he -was the God-appointed successor
of Saul. Escapes as wonderful and as
providential as David's occur in the
lives of most of us if we could but
know them.
I. David and Jonathan, w. 1-3. The
story of the love of David and Jona-
than is a classic. With such close
family relations and a son-in-law so
successful at arms It Is strange that
Saul's anger should vent Itself upon
David. At first Saul was much at-
tached to David but the admiration of
the people for David aroused his jeal-
ousy, (ch. 18:6) and jealousy is pecu-
liarly a soldier's disease. The slave of
jealousy never has peace. As sin and
disobedience developed in his life Saul
became subject to fits of Insane rage
during one of which, as David played
upon his harp and endeavored to quiet
the monarch's spirit, he hurled a
Javelin, which served as his scepter,
at the harpist (ch. 19:10). Saul felt
that David was divinely protected and
he knew that God had departed from
his own life (15:23; 16:14). Saul did
not keep his grief and rage to himself
for Jonathan and the nation alike
knew all about it.
II. Saul and Jonathan, vv. 4-7. It
took courage and self-sacrifice on
Jonathan's part to speak on behalf of
David. Prudence and principle are
combined in Jonathan's plea. Those
who envy Include In their hate and
anger all who speak kindly in behalf
of their enemy. But Jonathan's argu-
ment (w. 4, 5) Is unanswerable.
David had not sinned against Saul; it
was Jehovah who "wrought a great |
Balvatlon for all Israel" on the day
David took his life In his hand and
overcame Goliath. Jonathan pleads foi
God as well as for his friend. He
called to Saul's memory his former
joy at seeing Jehovah's victory
through David and for the time being
Saul was persuaded (v. 6) and made
another of those impetuous promises
which proved so fleeting, fshered by
Jonathan (Matt. 5:9) David returned
to Saul's presence, entered once more
upon the discharge of his duties and
desisted only when he saw that his
presence only aggravated the king and
that he was uselessly exposing his life
In Saul's presence. David was faith-
ful to God and to God's anointed king
III. Mlchal and David, vv. 8-12.
Saul's hatred was too deep to be per-
manently overcome. David went out
and won a great victory over the Phi-
listines and as he followed his courtly
duty, Saul burst out with a fresh at-
tack (vv. 8, 9). David had married
Mlchal when about twenty-one years
of age and Saul's attacks occurred dur-
ing the next three years. The evil
spirit mentioned was a demon (18:10;
Acts 16:16-18; Mark 1:23-26), a mes-
senger of Satan permitted by God for
Saul's discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God
permits evil to come upon men not to
tempt them—solicit them to do wrong
—but to bring them to repentance oi
to refine them as pure gold. Thus evil
may be said to do God s work (ch.
4:1) "to be sent from Jehovah."
IV. Summary. All who envy are
murderers at heart (Matt, 27:18: I John
3:12, 15). The present day murderers
hurl their javelins of slander, lying
and vituperation against the reputa-
tion of the men whom they hate. Or
else they hurl unfall" and unjust busi-
ness methods at others that they may i
perpetuate their power or else build j
themselves up upon the ruins of those
whom they envy. Saul missed David
but he was no less a murderer. Satan
always overshoots the mark when he
assails one of God's anointed, chosen
ones. Saul could not harm David
though he wished to ever so much
(Pb 37:32, 33; Isa. 54:17; Luke 4:30;
10:39). Saul's hatred stopped not even
at the threshold of David's houae but
Invaded the sacred precincts of his
home. Envy Is blind, it assails all
that a man has, spares none with
whom he Is connected and colors ev-
ery act and relation of life even to the
relations of father and child. Saul
was frustrated by hl% own children,
Jonathan and Mlchal. David's danger
was imminent, hence hi* apeedy es-
cape.
