of said election having been cert led to
the governor In due course he Issued his
proclamation declaring aaid law to have

It la my duty to recommend for your
consideration the re-enactment of this
act and that ou declare that an enter
gency as to said act exists and that said
jmeigenc) be expressed by you In said a
as contemplated by Section is of Article t
of the constitution of this state
Gross Revenue Law
The gross revenue sections of the con
tltutlon have been before the supreme
:ourt of this state for consideration and
construction in the case of Tho Wolverine
Oil Company which was decided on the
12th day of October 1915 and is now
ponding on petition for rehearing
The total of $63326731 which has been
paid In under this law ia In the state de-
pository and not subject to be used to
pay the expenses of tbs state or state
agencies until the matters growing out o
the Wolverine Oil Company case are fin-
tlly settled In my Judgment a revision
at these said sections would eliminate a
great many of these objections and enable
this tax to be used for the expenses and
tate purposes
I therefore recommend for your con-
sideration Sections 1 2 3 4 and 4 (b) of
ubdiviBion A of the law with a view of
-evising and amending them so as to meet
all reasonable objections Involved in said
action and at the same time cause this
cross production tax to be realized and
converted Into the treasury and through
the proper source expended to meet the
xiienses of the state and state agencies
If this tax were available the state
could now be on a cash basis State wa-
rants bear interest at six per cent while
the state realizes only three per cent from
the deposit of this fund
Interest Usury and Pawn Shops
The question of the charging of extor-
tionate rates of Interest has occupied the
oreground of discussion for some months
Questions essential to be determined pre-
liminary to the consideration of the usury
luestton have been obtained from the so-
Icltor of the treasury at Washington
ihrough the comptroller of the currency
fct my request On December 8th the
lolleltor of the treasury wrote the comp-
Iroller of the currency as follows:
“Congress having power to create a sys-
lem of national banks Is the Judge as to
(he extent of the powers which should be
lonferred upon such banks and has the
tole power to regulate and control the
ixerolse of ther operations
“While a state has tlie legitimate power
to define and pdnlsh crimes by general
fews applicable to all persons within Its
jurisdiction and It may declare by special
laws certain acts to be criminal offenses
nrhen committed by officers and agents of
Its own banks and institutions it I-
without lawful power to make such spe--lal
laws applicable to banks organized
ind operated under the laws of the United
States
“It is shown by Sections 5197-93 of the
evised statutes that congress has con-
sidered the matter of usurv and it must
be concluded has covered the subject as
fully as was desired This being so 1
im of the opinion that an officer or agent
9f a national bank would not be amenable
to a state law making usury a misde-
meanor” A state law prohibiting the excessive
charging of Interest should apply with
equal force to both national and state
banks From the opinion of the solicitor
at the treasury a state statute making
usury a criminal offense would have no
xnpllcation to the officers agents or em
ploves of national banks
No complaints have been made as to
excessive rates on real estate loans The
abuse in the practice of usury as a rule
applies to chattel loans and those secured
by assignments of wages and pledges In
orovidlng against such abuse In other
fates such loans have been classified In
NeW Jersey the statute enacted to pre-
sent su-h ahus has placed loans up to
and Including $300 exclusive of Inteerst
n a class
Recommendations
I recommend for your consideration the
juestlon ef Interest and usury and sug-
rest that you consider the advisability of
inacting a statute following llmltatlonss
If the constitution which fixes the maxi-
mum legal rate at six per cent and the
maximum contract rate at ten per cent
In addition that you permit a graduated
rlncipal incidental fee to be charged on
ihattel loans amounting to $100 exclusive
if Interest the minimum Incidental fee
to be fifty cents This graduated Inci-
dental fee however should be safeguard-
ed In such a way as to prevent abuse and
fhe avoiding of the interest laws by means
f subterfuge By way of penalty I
-commend that you provide that as to
ihattel loans securing amounts up to three
hundred dollars exclusive of interest
wherever a rate of Interest and incidental
Tee Is charged or contracted for In excess
f the amount permitted by the Interest
tatute that the filing of the mortgage
hall not operate to create a lien in a
:ivil or crominal proceeding that In addi-
tion that the party paying the excessive
interest or his legal representative may
recover from the party collecting same
twice the amount of Interest so paid and
that t shall be the duty of the county

I recommend that you provide the fol-
lowing additional heln for the commis-
sioner of hlghwsve to-wlt- Chief book-
keeper at a salary of i?5 Oft per month:
one clerk to be ex-officio cashier at a
anlarv of 11000 per month: one additional-
stenographer at a salnrv of 7500 per

also to look after tbe rollertlon of auto-
mobile I'renae tax In the field so as to
permit the commissioner of ht-hwnva to
give more of his attention toward th
other duties of hs office
The commissioner of hlchwttvs has
asked that provision be made for “s-irvev-ing
and drafting room equipment for th
state engineer's department including a
working library of technical books and
periodicals devoted to the professional
subjects of road and bridge building
drainage and Irrigation sanitation high-
way administration and studies upon the
testing and properties of all road-building
materials found in this slate
On September 23 1915 1 certified to a
deficiency for the department of h-gh
ways in the sum of $81760 for tags which
Is referred to as Deficiency Certificate No
1 in saJd department On October 1
1915 I certified to Deficiency Certificate
No 3 for said department in the sum of
$250000 covering stamps and inciden-
tals On January 4 1916 Deficiency Cer-
tiorate No 3 for said department was
certified to by me which covers $103680
for registration certificates letter heads
e-velopex second heets application
blanks for delinquent tax application
biaiias error slips rate books ledgers
etc and $300300 to purchase forty thou-
sand tags for the year 1916
I recommend for your consideration the
qnem on oi covering this by an appropri-
ation out of the earnings of the highwav
department which is $15418 85 or other
funds available as In your Judgment you
may determine
Section 1 of Article 2 Chapter 173 un-
der the head of “County and Township
Organization” provides that:
"The Board of County Commission-
ers of each county as soon as prac-
ticable shall employ a competent en-
gineer to be known as the county en-
gineer whose tenure of office may be
terminated by the board of county
commissioneis who shall perform the
duties as hereinafter provided”
I recommend for your consideration the
advisability of amending this section and
make it the duty of the board of count
commissioners to employ a competent en-
gineer to be known as the county en-
ninecr with the proviso that said board
in lieu of appointing the county engineei
may arrange with tiie state hikhway de-
partment to do the engineering work fei
said county the county to pay only the
actual exiienges of the state engineer and
his assistants and to furnish such helpers
as be may need

under protest thereby saving their right
to bring an action to recover same 1
assume that they have doubts as to the
validity of said act on account of Section
10 of Article 10 of the constitution of the
state
The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way Company resisted the collection ef
this tax on the ground that it violated
said Section 20 Article 10 of the consti-
tution of this state In A T & S F Ry
Co vs State 28 Okla 94 the contention
of the railroad was denied by the supreme
court of this state
If this one-fourth of one mill Is levied
as a state tax for road purposes It is
valid Obviously that was the purpose of
the legislature but certain expression
were inserted obviously with the purpose
of keeping said fund from coming under
the operation of Section 5 of Article 5 of
the constitution -of this state
It is my judgment that said road fund
could be paid into the state treasury and
be paid out under the act authorizing it
without a recurring speclflo appropria-
tion The message here quotes In detail the
opinion of the attorney general June 24
1915 on this matter
I recommend for your consideration the
amendment of this section so as to re-
move all ambiguity or field for construc-
tion which would gie the railroads or
other large taxpayers of this state any
ground to resist the payment or the val-
dlty of this tax
I recommend for your consideration the
amendment of proper sections so as to
permit the county to make a tax levy for
general purposes and also for road pur-
poses in addition to the one-fourth of
one mill the totaf levy not to exceed
the limitation prescribed by Section P
or Article 10 of the constitution I take
it that the legislature Intended that the
county if it liked could make a levy up to
eight mills for road purposes In connec-
tion with the other levies to be made for
current expenses I recommend for your
consideration the amendment of said Sec-
Convict Mining
The state board of publlo affairs as ex
officio board ol prison control hae an op-
portunity to acquire a It-ass coiileimii
tvi acres of coal to acres lying within the
limits uf the McAlister penitentiary
arouiula for tJOOOuO lr J J Rutledge
of the federal bureau of mme who wse
o-eigned at my requrel by the federal
bureau of minra Inspected and reported
lu me on thla coal ss follows:
"A producing mine can be easily had
by reopening old No 1 Hampela elope
About six months after reopening tins
mine should be callable of producing
from two hundred to three hundred
Ions of coal per day The cost of pro-
ducing a ton of run of mine -c-ohI
tinder the present mining scuie hand
mining after the surface equipment la
proviued should not exceed $215 per
ton”
lie estimated the amount of coal cap-
able of being mined from aaid Lease No
3 which contemplated a recovery of fifty
per cent of coal from the seam and that
under the usual practice in the McAlester
coal fields He took twenty-seven cubit
feet of solid coal in the seam to be mined
as the amount of coal in onq ton of 2009
pounds and he estimated that in the
upper Hartshorns scum on said lease on
the basis of fifty per cent recovery of the
coal in a seam that th-rn was contained
863615 tons and in the lower Uartsliorne
ream 921471 tons
On September 15 1915 there had been
pa'd to the federal government as ad
vance royalty on said Lease No 2
$610000
According lo the federal regulations
there is required to be mined 15000 v-tq
on each lease annually after the fourth
year
The state Is required every year to buy
ooal for fuel for all of its state institu-
tions and the amount increases year by
veer 9 b- i-ocev wnh which fuel for the
state Institutions Is purchased has to be
collected from the taxpayers The tax-
payers have to pay for keeping up the
courts and manning tho police force of
the state to suppress crime and men who
are placed within the penitentiary go
there nn account of their own acta Men
who have not been convicted of violating
the law Voluntarily work in the coal mines
In these fields The mining of coal by the
state for state use and for state insti-
tutions and state agencies Is within the
modern plan evolved for tho management
of prisoners A great many of the pris-
oners in the prison at McAlester are
trained coal miners The state jan save
money and help fhe taxpayers by mining
this coal It might be provided that un-
der rules and regulations the board of
prison control could provide a teasonahle
compensation say one-fourth or one-thir-t
of the usual charge for mining and put
that to the credit ef the convict and if he
hns a family remit that monthly to the
family The day's work for the convict
in the cool mine must not exceed eight
hours When a reasonable task Is com-
nletpd If It be done within a half day
then the miner's day's work should be
completed and he be permitted to return
to his cell or if his conduct justm
to go to the reading room and the library
for study and reading
I am aware of the fact that some oppose
the use of this labor in mining coal and
with the argument that it is dangerous
work If this work is of such a danger-
ous character that a convict should not
be worked at It every coal mine in these
fields should be closed to protect human
life for if It is too dangerous for the
convict to work fn it is too dangerous for
the free man to be permitted to work In
The same exercise of the police power that
should restrain the state from placing
the convict In there to mine coal to keen
work during cold weather those in the
feeble minded institution insane asylum
and orphans’ home and other uses for
said Institutions should be exercised to
restrain the free man from voluntarily
putting himself in such a dangerous occu-
pation that would probably make him a
charge on society and the state The
state can be trusted better than the oper-
ator to keep the mine in a safe condition
and to provide a safe place in which
the convict is to work I am not only
for humanity but also for reason
We are now planning to put as many
convicts on the roads as we practicallt
can But it is not practical at any time
to work more than one-fifth of the con-
victs on the public highways: nor can we
work them all on farms The farmers
of the state seem to be willing for con-
victs to be worked on farms with the
view of making the penitentiaries self-
sustaining and to reduce the burdens of
taxation The coal miners and operators
should be willing for the state to use con-
victs to mine coal for state use The
farmer Bhould not be made the butt end
of everything and to bear every burden
I am the friend of every class of labor and
unfriendly to no class or Interest In the
state I believe that it Is fair and just
for the state to mine Its own coal for

the state deiltnry should be provided
snd ths rules prescribed for the keeping uf
seme
it seems to be the nils In other stales
such as Minnesota Miehlttan and Kan-
sas where Industries are carried on by
the prisons or other state agencies to cre-
ate revolving funds by means of which
the industry may be conducted
I recommend tide subject a to the In
rrtltutlon named for your consideration
This will not neceaaarily call for appro-
priations but rather for the placing of
available funds already appropriated tn
revolving funds so that the same and the
net profits may he used for the carrying
on of such Industries or business
Vacancies
Vacancies exist In the house of repre-
sentatives from Latimer end Cherokee
rountiea and In the senate from tha Caddo
and Urady district and the Logan county
district on account of resignations I
have information but not official advice
that vacancies exist In the senate from
the Major and Alfalfa district and In the
house from Woodward county occasioned
by death
On account of the expense of holding a
special election I have been requested by
many not to order elections to fill these
vacancies The county attorney of Lo-
gan county visited ma and advised me
that to hold a special election in Logan
county to elect a senator would consume
ail their contingent fund and that they
preferred that the special election be
avoided if possible 1 decided to await the
asnemblying of the legislature tn extra-
ordinary session and to follow your Joint
advice In the matter Whilst the consti-
tution empowers the governor to issue
writs of election It also makes each houso
the exclusive judge as to the qualifica-
tions of their members In my Judgment
the Joint action of the legislature tn seat-
ing members where vacancies exist is
conclusive and where this is done by
recognizing nominations made by the
committee of the party of which the for-
mer member or senator was a member
would be fair For instance in the Logan
and the Major and Alfalfa diatricts tha
places were held by republicans and In
the senatorial district composed of Caddo
and Grady by a democrat If central com-
mittees of the party of the respective dis-
tricts to which the former member be-
longed made or nominate their choice for
the vacancy and such member was seated
bv Joint resolution In my Judgment this
would be conclusive and give each dis-
trict the proper party representation and
that without any expense to the county or
district This Is by way of suggestion
I have held up action in calling the spe-
cial elections to see If this expense might
be obviated
1 feel sure that the members of these
two honorable bodies are zealous for ex-
pedition in the work before them and'
that this extraordinary session will be
characterized with a desire to give the
proper consideration to the matters
rorommended for consideration and an
early adjournment To that end you have
mv co-operation
Respectfully submitted

Coffee’s Weight on Old Ags
When people realize the Injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that a change to Postum can bring
they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit of others
“My mother since her early child-
hood was an inveterate coffee drink-
er had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
of that ’weak-all-over’ feeling and sick
stomach
“Some time ago I was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the mer-
chants of the place I noticed a some-
what unusual flavor of the ‘coffee’
and asked him concerning it He re
piled that it was Postum
“I was so pleased with It that I
bought a package to carry home with
me and had wife prepare some for
the next meaL The whole family
liked It so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely
“I had been very anxious concern-
ing my mother’s condition but we
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better had
little trouble with her heart and no
sick stomach that the headaches
were not so frequent and her general
condition much Improved This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty
"I know Postnrn has benefited my-
self and the other members of tho
family especially my mother as sjie
was a victim of long standing" Name
