MANY THINGS BROUGHT TO THE
CONSIDERATION OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
CAPITOL BUILDING BIG PROBLEM
Rural Credits, Lower Interest Rate*,
Abolition of 8tate Boards and
Cuts In Salaries Are
Recommended.
Oklahoma City -Gov. Williams. In
hi* first message to the Legislature,
mi id. in brief:
"To the Senate nnd House of Kepre
sentatlves of the State uf Oklahoma:
"At the beginning of the present
quadrennlunt in the government of this
State, 1 desire to submit for the con-
sideration of Your Honorable Bodies,
as follows:
The State Capitol.
"At the extraordinary session of
the Legislature of 1913, an Act was
passed providing for the construction
of a State Capitol, creating a State
Capitol Commission, said Commission
is required to mulntain Its office and
bold Its sessions at the seat of gov-
ernment. Kacn Commissioner shall
New Appropriation Necessary,
dollars per annum, and expenses.
"The State Capitol Commission Is
required to proceed to select a plan
for a State Capitol, provided the rea-
sonable post of salt! plan of said Cap
Itol building proper shall not exceed
one and one-half million dollars. Con-
tracts are to be mado for thn construc-
tion of the building. The Commission
is required to appoint a practical
builder to art as auperlutendent of
the construction. Said superintendent
is to receive as compensation not ex
reeding eight dollars per day
"Said Act also appropriates 'out of
anv money In the State Treasury, not
otherwise appropriated, for the pur
pose of constructing a State Capitol,
as provided in this Act, the snnt of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
the first year.' Also, said Act further
appropriates the sum of four hundred
ninety seven thousand, two hundred
and seventy-four and 72-100 dollars
from another specified fuud, making a
total appropriation of seven hundrocl
and forty thousand, two hundred and
seventy-four and 73-100 dollars, that Is
made by the Legislature for the erec
tlon of this Capitol building.
"Section 7 of said Act provide* that
'All bills, claims and demands for labor
performed, work done or material fur
nlshed, shall be made out In duplicate
by the person or persons, or corpora
tlon or company, presenting the same
to the Commission for allowance and
be passed on by the Commission at a
session thereof.' Then provision is
made for the payment of same by war-
rants drawn on the State Auditor
The Act further provide* that no con-
tract for the building of the Capitol
or any part thereof shall be valid until
the entire building has been contracted
for. Such contract cannot be legally
entered into until an appropriation Is
available to meet the entire cost of
the building. This has been settled
by th - Supreme Court of this State In
Campbell et al. v. State ex rel Urett.
2". Okla. 109. 99 Pac 778.
"On account of said provision. It
may become necessary for some part
of 1747.274.72 to be re-appropriated.
"1 call your attention not only to the
legal obstacles to the letting of The
contract for the completion of the
Capitol building under the present bTil
but, also, to the responsibility of the
Governor under the terms of the Con-
stitution In the raising of funds for
Its completion. Under the terms of
this Act. The Capitol Commission has
no llxed tenure, but Is to hold office
until the Capitol building proper is
completed. Necessarily, the time of
completion depends upon the will, de-
sire and Inclination of the Commis-
sion. As a rule, when provisions are
made for the payment out of a fund of
salaries or expenses, limitations or re-
strictions under the terms of the act
are Imposed for the protection of the
taxpayers. Hence, my duty to point
these matters out. with suggestions
as to corrections. A reasonably speedy
construction and completion of the
State Capitol building is essential. At
the present time, the State officers are
boused In different parts of the city.
When the Legislature in In sessloa. it
of this State. In the expenditure of
this money, it should be done with
every safeguard thrown around It for
the protection of these tapayers. Ac-
cordingly, I recommend:
"That the bill passed by the extra-
ordinary session of the Legislature in
191 a. providing for the construction of
the State Capitol, be amended so us
to provide for the appointment of a
Citizens' Committee, to serve without
pay, and to consist of not less than
five, nor more than seven members, a
majority of whom may not reside in
any one county. This Committee be-
ng required to make an examination
as to the plana drawn and adopted for
said Capitol building, and the work
on said building as the same may pro
gross; and make a report of the result
ro its investigation ot the Governor,
a copy to be filed with the Secretary
of State, and also, with each House
of the Legislature, if It is In sess on
"I further recommend that the orlg
inal bill be so amended as to place
the power to remove said Commit
sioners either with the Oovernor. or
some other board of elective Executive
State officers; and further, that the
bill be so amended as to provide that
before the contract which may be let
by the State Capilol Commission be
comes effective and binding on the
State, the same must be approved by
the (lovernor; and that If the Legtsla
ture is at that time In session, the
same must uIbo be submitted to the
Leglsalture.
"When the contract for the State
Capitol shall have been let by the
State Capitol Commission, then Its
excuse for existence shall have ceased.
The question of the contractors com-
plying with the contract must neces-
sarily be determined by experts and
provision is made in the hill for the
employing of an expert for that pur-
pose. The general duty of the Com-
mission will be to employ this expert
and draw their salaries and maintain
an office in accordance with the Eta
tlon of their commission and have a
secretary and other employes. This
duty can be exercised by the State
Hoard of AfTairs or a Commission of
ex-offlcio elective State officers as
effectively and without any cost to the
State.
"I therefore recommend that pro-
vision be made by law that after the
contract is let and approved that with-
in fifteen days the term of the office
of the Capitol Commission shall cease,
and that the duties of that office shall
then be exercised by a commission, to
be composed of certain elective state
officers, to be named by the Legisla-
ture, or by the State Board of Affairs.
A State Tax Commission..
"The State Board of Equalisation
should be r.bolished and a State Tax
Commission created in its stead. To
that end I recommend that section 21,
of article 10, of the Constitution be so
amended and that said Tax Commis-
sion be authorized to exercise the
powers of a State Board of Equallza
tlcn. and to have exclusive jurisdiction
over same, except that Its orders may
be reviewed by writ of error to the
Supreme Court. In addition it should
also be made tho duty of the said Tax
Commission to assess all railroad and
public service corporation property
and report and recommend such legis-
lation as In neccssary to revenues.
The Will of the People As To Abol-
ished Officers To Be Sustained.
"Tho Legislature of 1913 passed an
act providing for the consolidation of
certain county offices. The validity of
this Act. is now being tested in the
courts. 1 recommend the passage of a
declaratory act so as to obviate these
objections and carry into effect at
once the express will of the people.
Permanent School Fund To Be In
State Treasury.
"Tho permanent school fund should
be converted Into the State Treasury
and not held by the Secretary of the
Board of School Land Commissioners.
This cannot be done, however, without
a constitutional amendment as will
provide for this permanet fund to be
converted Into the Treasury, subject
o the charge and management of the
noard of School Land Commissioners,
but with an automatic provision for
the same to be drawn out and loaned
on warrants of the School Land Com
misnioners through the State Audi
tor's office.
Permanent School Fund.
"8peclflc provsllon should be made
for the loaning and investment of the
permanent school fund This fund
San Francisco and have endeavored tojto be the judgment of the court, pro-
raise sufficient funds for that purpose
recommend that the Legislature con
sider the advisability of making an
appropriation of |.->,000 to help com-
plete the building, to be available only
when sufficient funds are on hand to
pay the entire cost of the building.
Revenues To Be Derived From De-
partments.
"Provision should be made for the
fixing and charging of a fee by the
Secretary of the Corporation Com-
mission for transcripts in appeals
from its orders, and copies furnished
private parties. These fees should be
converted into the State Treasury
Fees should also be provided for al-
lowing telephone, freight and pas
senger rebates and overcharges by
public corporations. Provision should
also be made for charging fees foi
copies of all records furnished by the
various Executive departments to
parties desiring the same, and for the
c< averting of these fees at stated
tlmea Into the State Treasury.
"Every state agency with a few ex
ceptions should be made at least part-
ially self-sustaining. The courts which
are a necessary agency for the peace-
ful settlement of controversies, and
essential for good government, should
not be supported entirely by the tax-
payers. but the litigants in civil cases
bhould at least bear a part of these
burdens The record shows that it
costs the state on an average of about
fifty dollars for every civil case ap-
thereon. I ercommend serious consl-d
cordingly recommend that a docket
fee be taxed In the sum of twenty-
five dollars as a part of the coBts In
ev« ry such case.
"Provision should be made, also, for
the charging of a jury fee, so as to
place a part of the burdens upon the
litigants in the triul courts and not
cause the same to be borne entirely by
the taxpayers.
Convicts and Their Employment.
"In the two state prisons, at Mc-
Alester and Granite, about 1,500 pris-
oners are confined. Their labor should
be utilized in such a way as to support
them at as little expense as reason
ably possible npon the taxpaying cit-
izenship. I accordingly recommend
for your consideiation the employ-
ment of prisoners on the roads and
otherwise.
Good Roads.
"It is not necessary to go into any
argument as to the necessity for good
roads. That is self-evident. Article
lti of the Constitution directs the leg-
vided that under certain rules and
regulations same may be reviewed by
the court cn banc, and further to pro-
vide the manner in which the Judges
may be nominated and elected; (3)
that written opinions may be die*
pensed with in the appellate court un-
der rules and regulations to be pre-
scribed by the legislature; (4) that
the appellate courts in civil cases, ex-
cept where theie is an issue as to un-
liquidated d/maged, may without re-
versing and remanding render the
judgment that ought to have been
rendered in the trial court, and as to
appeals in criminal cases may modify
the Judgment of the lower court with-
out reversing and rendering the same;
tS) provide for consolidating the Coun-
ty Court and the District Court.
Librarian and Marshal to Be Consol-
idated.
The ofllce of Librarian and Marshal
ercise of the police power is made tt
respond to the needs and conditions
of the people Its administration be-
comes more complex. Fixed and gen-
eral rules for the administration or
counties or municipalities as a rule
are not adequate foi such conditions.
Hence the necessity for the framing
of special charters by local municipal-
ities. In the evolvement of such gov-
ernment the electors in their local
governmental capacity should be given
great latitude In the framing of char-
ters. What is essential for local gov-
ernment In one community might not
be proper in another community. So
a political party as a party in a state
should have no particular office as to
such local matters. One of the card*
inal principles of the Democratic
party is local self-government. If the
electors of the municipality desire to
provide fcr the selection of their offl
dais without party nominations so
that efficiency may be promoted with-

ASKED SPEAKER FOR A SONG
And Bibulous Gentleman Escaped
Anger of Dignified Head of British
Parliament.
Mr. Balfour is credited with know-
ing more good stories about the Brit-
ish house of commons than any other
member. One of his best is the fol-
lowing, which he told at a public din-
ner some time ago:
"I remember hearing of a distin-
guished gentleman," he said, "who re-
ported in the press gallery just about
one hundred years ago. He had had
an excellent dinner, washed down
with excellent wine. He was bored
with the debate. He was wearied with
the superfluity of rhetoric, which pre-
vailed just as much one hundred years
ago as today. He got bored, f.nd he
got up and asked the speaker for a
song.
"The speaker of that day was Mr.
Addington, a gentleman who was noth-
ing, if not proper. The whole house,
except the speaker, w>as convulsed
with laughter.
"The sergeant-at-arrcs was appealed
to. He went to the gallery and he in-
quired. The culprit retained the pres-
ence of mind to point to a respectable
Quaker sitting below him. and this
unfortunate gentleman was actually
taken into custody."

"I shall have other recommenda-
tions to make relative to other depart
ments. I hope to see every board and
every commission in the state abol-
ished. except that of the Board of
Affairs and the Board or Education.
The creation of the State Fire Insur-
ance Commission is not a creation of
a new commission. The additional
members will act as secretary; and it
is my intention that he shall perform
the duties of the secretary and do
the work. I have tho assurance and
feel that I know that the members of
these two honorable bodies are zeal-
ous for retrenchment and reform, and
