PRISON CHARGES SUSTAINED
State Board Report Says Kansas Pen-
itentiary Ominous Nightmare
Guthrie, Okla.—"We have reached
the conclusion that Miss Barnard was
correct in substance and in effect in
all her charges," say the Oklahoma
members of the Lansing investigating
committee in their report to the gov-
ernor and board of prison control,
"We find that the Kansas prison is
suffering more from bad method'3
than bad men."
The report is a lengthy document.
It charges that the warden at Lans-
ing is heavily burdened by the politi-
cal control of the prison, and that but
few improvements in methods had
been adopted of late years.
'If there had been no testimony of
convicts," says the report, "we vould
have to reach the result that the of-
ficers of the Kansas penitentiary wil-
fully inflicted painful and conporal
punishment, and the only excuse for
It is that their predecessors have
done the same before them."
The report goes into much detail
and seems to rely mainly on testi-
mony taken at Lansing and from
statements from convicts and ex-con-
victs in Oklahoma. It ends with the
statement: "The Lansing penitenti-
ary stands as an ominous nightmare
and warning never to allow a political
hoard to be in control of prisons t.or
have any power of an executive na-
ture over them."

SIGNS SCHOOL LAND BILL
Govtrnor Attaches Signature to Im-
portant Measure
Guthrie, Okla—.In the presence of
the five framers of the bill and other
distinguished company. Governor Has.
kell signed the bill by Eggerman,
Cordell and Morris of the senate, and
Casteel and Maxey of the house, pro-
viding for tho sale of 56 per cent of
the surface area of the school lands
of the state of Oklahoma, valued ap-
proximately at $12,000,000.
Following the signing of the bill
there was an immediate scramble for
the several pens with which the gov-
ernor signed. Among those securing
such souvenirs were Mrs. Roy Hoff
man, wife of Colonel Roy Hoffman,
and State Senator Elmer J. Thomas,
of Lawton.
Governor Haskell Immediately
transmitted to the legislature a mes-
sage notifying it of the approval of
the bill. In his message the governor
states that he believes the great im-
portance of the bill to the people of
Oklahoma warrants further mention.
The governor states that lie had
hoped for a bill for the sale of all the
school lands, that he is strictly op
posed to tho tenantry system, that
homeowners are far more to be de
sired than home renters and that he
believes that the state would derive
more benefit in taxes and interest on
the proceeds than can ever bo derived
by the rental systom. He further ex
presses the belief that the lessees
have helped largely to make the val-
ues that are now attached to these
lands and are entitled to liberal con-
sideration and states that he would
personally favor some further con-
cessions to the lessees but believes
that time would tend to produce les3
favorable consideration for them.
He also states as his opinion that
the people at an early date w'll de-
cide that it is best to sell the remain-
der of the school land, that the pres-
ent bill meets the approval of a great
majority of the people of the state,
since the needs of the state for pub-
lic buildings makes the sale of the
public building lands a necessity and
tho Indemnity lands arc in such large
bodies as to render local government
and development almost impossible.
The governor also reviews his
fight in the constitutional conventon,
the first legislature and for the initia-
ted bill drawn at his instance to have
all the school lands of the state sold
and expresses tho opinion that the in-
iated bill failed more through failure
of the voters to fully comprehend its
provisions than through opposition to
the sale of the school land.

Spring wheat, winter wheat, oats, barley,
