principal new buildings which Cant"

The first tangible result of the
movement to perpetuate the good
features of the county and state de-
fense councils appeared last week
when Sen. McIntosh introduced a
series of eleven bills on the general
subject of child welfare.

the upper branch is favorable thS
proposition will be submitted to a
vote of the people at the next general
election. „
The amendment declares that "land
holdings in excess of the homestead
or home allotment is not a natural
right but a legally acquired and pro-
tected privilege." The' section of the
bill defining exemptions and provid-
ing the schedule of taxation states:
"Except the real estate <■' common
carriers, authorized to be held by themi
by the constitution of this state, tn ,
owner, whether legal or equitable, wheth-
er person, firm, association or corpora-
tion, and whether residing In this state;
•r not, of any land in this state in excess
of 320 acres shall pay the following an-
nual license tax for the purposes of tn«
state government, which Is hereby lev-
led:
"For each one dollar of valuation ai
assessed for taxation on the ad valorem
basis In the preceding year the follow-
ing schedule:
"One mill where such excess does not;
cxceed 320 acres.
"Two mills where such excess exceed*!
120 acres and does not exceed 1, 0|
acres.
"Five 'mills for such excess exceeding
1,280 acres and not exceeding 1,920 acres.
"Ten mills on such excess exceeding
1920 acre.s and not exceeding 2,560 acies.
••Fifteen mills on such excess exceed-
ing 5,260 acres and not exceeding 3,^0©
acres.
-Twenty mills on such excess over
3 200 acres. Provided, that land of the
assessed valuation of $16,000 may be
credited to the owner in lieu of the 3-0
acres herein provided for, nor shall the,
game apply to grazing lands (unftt for
cultivation."
The duty of collecting the tax Is
placed in the hands of the state au-
ditor. Every owner of land affected
•by the tax is required to file with the
auditor the first of each year a state-
ment of the excess land he holds.,
The tax will be computed by the au-
ditor. A penalty of 12 per cent is
provided for all delinquent taxes. It]
provides that the state may get a
lien on property for the collection ot
the delinquent taxes.
The provisions of the bill apply to
unimproved town lots which are val-
ued in excess of $16,000.
After hearings lasting two weeks
the senate roads committee has de-
cided on the terms of the bill which
will be pushed through the upper
house and is now rewriting the meas-
ure for reporting. The provisions ot
the bill include the following:
All specifications to be stricken
from the bill.
State income tax to go Into road;
fund.
Two-thirds of gross production tax
into fund.
Roads to be designated In bill.
Bonds to be sold only as needed.
Work to start in eight sections at
one time.
Commission of |ftve, governor at
head, to direct project.
Bond issue to be for $50,000,000.
Counties to be asked for no aid.
Abutting property exempt from con-
struction tax.
Maintenance to be paid by abutting
property.
Ad valorem tax pledged to redemp-
tion of bonds.
Junketing committees appointed by
Speaker Waldrep in pursuance of the
suggestion of Governor Robertson are
now out on a tour of inspection
Governor Robertson now may pro-
ceed with the appointment of Albert
Sidney Johnson Shaw of Altus as sec-
retary of state school land commis-
sion. The senate voted the increase
of salary to the office which had been
turned down twice previously. If the
emergency had not passed the salary
increase could not have taken effect
until 90 days after adjournment of
the legislature and it was Governor
Robertson's intention not to appoint'
Shaw to the place until after the sal-
ary question had been determined fi-
nally.
A committee substitute for the
workmen's compensation bill was in-
troduced into the senate. The sub-
stitute provides for a minimum week-
ly payment of IS and a maximum of
$18. The original bill made the ex-
tremes $10 and 120, and the present
law makes them $6 and $10. The
compromise also reduces the waiting
period from 14 to 7 days
A bill which would repeal the pres-
ent law requiring a party to obtain
27 per sent of the vote it cast at the
last previous general election or to
lose its party identity on the ticket,
'was introduced in the senate by Sen-
ator James Spurlock. This law was
held unconstitutional by Attorney
General S. P. Freeling before the last
primary. It would have barred the
Sosialist ticket from the ballot.
Increase in the salaries of justices
of the supreme court from $4,000 to
$7,500 a year is proposed in a bill in-
troduced in the house by Representa-
tives Disney, McNabb and Newman.
The bill provides that if section one
of the measure which designates the
salary, is declared invalid because of
the constitutional inhibition against
salary changw during the tenure of
an officer'* term the law shall con-
tinue effective and apply to justices
elected hereafter. It does not affect
the court of appeals who get the mum
m supreme justice*.

parentage of children born out of
wedlock and revision of the laws re-
lating to compulsory education and
the sale of narcotics are features of
the program.
A complete revision of existing
laws relating to children, the repeal
of some such measures and the unifi
cation of othefs would be the pur-
pose of the code commission as out-
lined in the bill which would create
it. The commission would be com-
posed of three members to be ap-
pointed by the governor. The mem-
bers would serve without compensa-
tion but would be allowed $3,000 for
clerical hire and other expenses in-
cident to the preparation of the code.
No person less than 18 years old
would be allowed to work in the oil-
ing or wiping of machinery, around
steam boilers, in the operation of ele
vators, in paint or lye factories or in
similar hazardous employment by one
of the provisions of the child labor
bill.
The safe of newspapers would be
denied children less than 14 years old
by another provision of the bill.
Boys and girls less tban 10 years
old could not work in any mill, fac-
tory, store or hotel by another sec-
tion. Work as bootblacks, messeng-
ers and work in places of amusement
also would be barred to children less
than 16 years old.
Another i>f the bills introduced by
Senator McIntosh would create a
welfare board in each county of the
state. The board would be composed
of the judge of the county court, one
member selected by the board ot
county commissioners, a third select
ed by the county superintendent of
schools, and the other two would be
chosen by these three. The county
superintendent of schools, the county
superintendent of health and the
county superintendent of welfare
would be non-voting members of the
board.
The county welfare board would
be given supervision over all matters
of health and would be clothed with
power to inspect all public institu-
tions within the county and to order
abatement of nuisances.
The board also would be given su-
pervision over places of amusement
and would be charged with the re-
sponsibility of suppressing the use
of habit-forming drugs and in fighting
the spread of communicable diseases. I
One of Senator ^Iclntosh's bills pro-
Tides that the parents of a child,
whether married or not shall be con-
sidered the child's parents and re-
sponsible for its support during mi-
nority. In this regard the bill pro-
vides that where two or more men
might be the father of a child, that
both or all of them shall contribute
to its support during minority.
Licensing and supervision of mar
ternity hospitals is provided in anoth-
er measure, this work being delegat-
ed to county welfare boards.
Another measure compels the use
of a nitrate of silver solution in the
eyes of new-born babes. Another
would allow compensation for pre-
natal injuries.
Official probes of conditions exist-
ing in the State fcdustrial School for
Girls, will be conducted in star'cham-
ber fashion, by both house and senate
committees from now on.
A la w which would require all doga
in the state to be licensed was pro-
posed by Senator Frank Carpenter.
A tax of from $1 to $4 would be re-
quired for each dog licensed. The
bill is drawn with the inference that
It will pr*ect live stock of the state
and the owner of any dog which des-
troys live stock is made liable for
damages done to such stock. Police
officers are given powers to seize
dogs that are not licensed and wear-
ing state tags. A dog which is found
to have killed any live stock may be
killed by a police officer
Appropriation Dills are beginning
to appear pretty regularly both for
existing institutions and departments
and also for the usual number of new
projects. One that will probably be
sure of passage provides for $48,-
887.15 reimbursement for expenses of
councils of defense.
On appropriation of $230,000 for
the construction of three buildings at
the Oklahoma College for Women at
Chickasha was proposed in a bill in-
troduced by Senator James Dearmon.
A dormitory, fine arts building and a
home for the college 'president are
proposed.
Senator Pete Coyne introduced a
bill for the appropriation of $20,000
for the support of the Bast Oklahoma
hospital for insane at Vinita.
The senate appropriations commit-
tee fathered a bill for the appropria-
tion of $219,000 for the maintenance
of secondary agricultural schools.
Senator Dearmon introduced an ap-
propriation bill for $83,600 for sal-
aries and support of the Oklahoma
College for Women for the year 1919-
20 and providing $78,550 for the fol-
lowing year.
