Printing Costs and Capers
It is not surprising that the cost of statehouse
printing is reaching staggering figures Indeed
the taxpayer who might become alarmed at the
reported $75000 spent by one department during
the fiscal year for job-printing should he grateful
that the sum is not larger
And if any are shocked by such a thankful
attitude the events of the past few months dur-
ing which time a mass of printed pulp has been
ordered should be paipfully recalled v
Unquestionably the many claims presented for
the reams of matter including one for 4000 letter
heads which a subordinate declared were exces-
sive are justified
To doubt that would be to challenge the spirit
of private enterprise and the integrity of high
capitol officials
Nevertheless there are some who while they
do not deny the need are questioning the amount
of the bill among them the state examiner and
inspector to determine if any of the payments
are excessive
It would seem that the auditors who are check-
ing the payments against the list of standardized
prices are not impressed by the fact that three
members of the legislature are engaged in the
printing business altho that fact should be borne
in mind by the taxpayer
Of course it is only a coincidence that the de-
partment with the bill the state highway com-
mission is faced with a $7000000 deficit Never-
theless it is true and is exceedingly difficult to
ignore
It should be remembered also in connection
with cost of printing that a bill which provided
for the establishment of a state printing depart-
ment was defeated in the last legislature
It would be most unkind if the attorney gen-
eral should rule and the question is now con-
fronting him that the claims of three members
of the legislature for printing are unconstitu-
tional After all a legislator must have a trade and
there is an increasing need for printed ma-

Outmoded Specialists
Robert M Hutchins the young president of
the University of Chicago claims that because
our schools ere stimulating the primary Ameri-
can urge which is to make money they are con-
fusing means with ends Techniques are chang-
ing too fast for us to depend upon the possession
of techniques and nothing else
Big business is playing its part in overstressing
the money-making angle of education Certain
industries are demanding that students be pre-
pared in public schools to hold positions in their
shops The ever increasing list of vocational
courses being added to the curriculum of public
schools shows that these industries are being
accommodated
Hutchins is looking far ahead and wisely
when he asks whether these industrialists will I:?
willing to take rare of those who will be fitted
for no other type of work after new technique!

A New Justice
Again fate has turned a kindly face toward
President Roosevelt and the new deal administra-
tion The resignation of Associate Justice George
Sutherland ultra -conservative justice of the
United States supreme court gives the president
for the second time during his tenure in office the
privilege of selecting another judge and enhanc-
ing the chances of the present administration to
get its legislation into action
It is not to be doubted that the president will
appoint a liberal to fill the place left vacant by
Sutherland With only two conservatives left on
the bench the appointment of a liberal will light-
en the hearts of all new dealers and will open the
way for future new deal legislation
Fdund in the list of probable' appointees are
the names of Senator Robert F Wagner Assis-
tant Attorney Robert H Jackson and the name
of one woman Florence E Allen of Cleveland
and a judge of the sixth circuit court of appeals
It is unlikely however that Roosevelt will want
to dispose of the services of Wagner and Jackson
in their present fields of duty
Whoever the appointee the people can be as-
sured that the appointment will have been made
after due consideration and investigation a lea-
son learned from the recent serious objection to
Justice Van Devan ter’s successor Hugo L Black
of Ku Klux Klan affiliation
Senator Wheeler of Montana expressed his re-
action to the resignation of Sutherland by saying
that it was “further evidence that it wasn’t neces-
sary to pack the supreme court”
— Nancy Anderson
‘Whole Hog’ or None
State labor leaders joined business Thursday
in a move which probably will lead to the main-
tenance of a status quo in the wages and hours
situation for underpaid overworked laborers
No longer will pharmacists waitresses and
other employes look forward to state aid in im-
proving their working conditions They can’t
even depend upon the C I O or the A F of L
to crusade 'or their cause
The protests of union leaders joined the voice
of business in baying at the unusual phenonema
of state protection against merciless employers
— and little doubt remains that Governor Mar-
iam! with his ear to the ground before starting
his senatorial campaign will heed their mourn-
ful pleas and not sign the order which would
make the codes effective
Perhaps the codes are not perfect No piece
of human endeavor has yet been free of flaws
but many with their subsequent improvement
have become important social reforms If the
wage-hour code were accepted now the ultimate
improvement necessary would he much nearer at
hand than if authorities blundered around trying
to draw up a “perfect” arrangement '
Labor leaden should be content to accept any
concessions in favor of improved working con-
ditions and then continue their efforts to con-
stantly improve their position Leaders loose
their claim to direct others when they deliber-
ately turn against those who trusted them
— Alvin Smith
May I Suggest
My IHUord Purdy
With the rombterd oppoaiitoe of
buxines and labor group and the
apparent opposition of Governor
Marla nd the wage-hour agreement
appear to be going awiftly by the
board
There la theory aplenty to support
arguments on both sides of the rs
Obviously the employers will wage
battles no end to defeat the appli-
cation of the codes but it is more
difficult to see why labor leaders
are opposing the wage-hour codec
In the hearings called by Marla nd
Thursday some of the labor spokes-
men protested the leveling effect
the code might have on salaries
a
Oar of them Maintain'd that "a
Negro dishwaxher who work 48
hours a week gets as much pay as
a white waitress That doesn't seem
fair to me"
And such a plan would not acem
fair to moat other observers either
As they now stand there are flaws
In 'the codes but that does not ex-
cuse labor leaders tor attempting to
defeat the whole plan as It seems
they have set out to da
a
Legislators frrqaratly bungle the
job When they come down to prepar-
ing laws That however la no final
conclusion that improvements can-
not' be made in the codes and It la
for such Improvement that the
unions should stri”
Union labor organisations have
long preferred to bargain by their
own methods unrestricted by law
Such methods are basically sound
but In the case of some businesses
the unions have failed to organise
the employees
Consequently the workers are un-
able Jo better themselves except thru
governmental intervention Knock
out the codes and all the shooting
they do at the mythical “High
American standard of living" is to
little avail
It seems to me that If tbs codes
were applied - the Unions could
serve a great purpose in seeing to It
that the minimum wages and maxi-
mum hours- did not also become the
maximum wages and minimum
hours
Meanwhile if the codes are killed
the unorganized workers have gained
nothing and the labor' leaden have
gained lees

An Open Letter to the Regents
tfchonl Children Gives Tests
Ralph V 'Hamilton county super-
intendent ha given state tests to
pupils In 25 county schools since De-
cember 13 he announced Thursday
The teats given to pupils In the fifth
sixth seventh and eighth grades will
be completed by February 1
Gentlemen:
This letter is by way of congratulations to you for your
splendid solution ut die problem of student opposition to the
board of regents' rulings
In this matter of imposing a flunking fee upon the students
you hjve shown a brilliant bit of master diplomacy The way in
which you evaded the protests of the student body on this ruling
is superb!
As I recall last year the students of O ij protested vigor-
ously against the flunking fee even going so far as to present a
petition with the names of 3000 student signers attached Against
this opposition what could you do? ' Only one thing: Submit to
the demands of the students until the whole thing blows over and
then make the same ruling again Naturally the student body will
realize the futility of making further protest
' May I offer a humble suggestion to amend the flunking fee
ruling? Since the fee is solely to “stimulate greater interest in
college work” riot to raise revenue as some base cynics claim
why not take the $3 per flunked hour of work and return it to
the students by way of a $3 reward for every hour of “A” made
in the same semester? If the now famous “curve” is correct
there should be an equal number of “A's” and “Fk” And there
isn’t a single doubt but what this would stimulate greater interest
in college work! — William Marberry

University to Instruct Teachers
In New Department Next Semester
Because Oklahoma highschool stu-
dent want to learn not only the three
W hut how to pound a typewriter
write shorthand and subtract red fig-
ures from black the university will in-
augurate a new department next
semester
The new division to he known of-
ficially as the department of commer-
cial education will provide training for
students who plan careers as teachers
of business subjects In strie high-
schools Two new faculty members already
have been approved by the board of
regents to positions in the department
They are Ernest EL Hatfield former A
and M college instructor and C Guy
Brown university graduate who for 15
years has been head of the commercial
education department of Central high-
school Oklahoma City
Hatfield will be in charge of type-
writing shorthand and bookkeeping
and classes while Brown will give In-
struct ion on now to teach the subjects
to students Both will be assistant pro-
fessors Sponsored cooperatively by the col
lege of education and the college of
education the nevr department will
offer a degree-of bachelor of science
in commercial' education Beginning
next semester the graduate school a!
so wiL give a degree of master of
commercial education
Courses will be given in typewriting
shorthand commercial law commercial
English accounting commercial arith'
mctic and secretarial work
A new field In higher education al
ready established In eastern colleges
but just developing in the west preps
ration of future teacher for commer-
cial instruction never has been differed
at the university before
A growing demand for business
teachers led President Bissell to ap-
prove the project last November Dr
Ellsworth Codings dean of the ool
lege of education said he had received
more than 1(10 requests from state
school authorities for commercial edu-
cation instructors
“Everywhere there la a need for
teachers of these subjects that cannot
be filled" Codings said "Many stu-
dents also have asked for a department
of this type"
Codings declared practically every
mall highschool In Oklahoma already
has or plans to provide business edu-
cation in its curriculum
Hatfield will begin teaching in the
new division at the atari of the next
semester: Brown will not assume his
duties until the beginning of summer

(From rags I)
on the boarding house where Read
lives Foaler said proper preventive
measures had been taken by the board
of health Oklahoma does not have
a law requiring that a quarantine be
placed on houses where there are cases
of spinal meningitis
Fowler said Read may have had
contacts with people other than the 15
students where he lives and Issued a
request that anyone having met or eon-
verted with the student since he be
came ill to notify doctors so that teaqr
can be taken
I Altho spinal meningitis is a serious
I disease Fowler said that there is no
occasion for alarm because it is not
highly contagious
“It is very unlikely that we will
have an epidemic altho there Is a
possibility there may be 'one or taro
more cases” he stated
"Spinal meningitis starts like si: -hi
cokl with the exception that the pa-
tient has a higher fever" Fowler ex-
plained "In moat eases It never gets
any further than that In those in-
stances the germ stays in the throat
When it enters the brain however
then the patient Is In a serious con-
dition” He suggested that students who an
not feeling well to get plenty of sleep
and rest and avoid exposure
Dr Guy H Williams director of the
county-city health art-vice said that
Read’s sickness is the only case of
spinal meningitis that has been re-
ported in Cleveland county since De-
cember 1H3U
There were severrj scattered cases
in the southern end I ke county at
that time that did not reach Norman
and the university

The Peoples' Choice
After criticizing officials at the state house for
so long R M McClintock the columist finally
admits that there are often days when he feels
compunction for these same officials For after
all he points out the officers are merely products
of a state machine that the people of Oklahoma
biennially sanction by their votes
Everyone is crying that Oklahoma is patronage-mod
But everyone also hopes that when a
new administration comes in there will be a re-
shuffling of the jobs and that they will be one
of those individuals to get a plum
Until the system of handing out jobs by elected
officials who ore chosen by voters is done away
with we are going to have patronage and Okla-
homa is going to become more and more “patron-ugc-mnd"
as the years go by
