State Supt Wilson Recommends
to Governor that the Choice
r f Members Be Left to
the Voters
WOULD MAKE II A
BI-PARTISAN BODY
Reviews DifficuItielArisingUut
of Existence of Two Boards
at Same Time and Sug-
gests Remedy
Oklahoma City Nov 13. Slate Sup-
erintendent H. H. Wilson has recom-
mended to the governor that the law-
providing for the state board of edu-
cation be amended so as to provide
for tiie members to be elected by the
people. If the recommendations
should be enacted into law the board
will be bi-partisan composed of six
members equally divided between the
two dominant parties. The letter of
recommendation follows: .
"Since making my recommendation
to you for school legislation develop-
ments in the conditions relating to
the state board of education through
reflection thereupon lead me to alter
the recommendations then made re-
specting said board and I accordingly
recommend as follows:
"That the statutes should be amend-
ed making membership upon said
board elective by the people instead
of appointive by the governor or any
other authority. Such amendment to
be framed that the board shall be bi-
partisan six members to be elected
at a specia. election to be called im-
mediately upon tli'i adjourni .eut of the
legislature two of such members one '
from each of the two dominent politi-
cal parties to be elected for a term
of two years; two one from each dom-
inant party to be elected for a term
of four years' and two one from each
dominant party to be elected for a
term of six years and two one from
each of the dominant parties to be
elected at each bi-annual election
thereafter to fill vacancies. The six
members so chosen together w ith tho
superintendent of public Instruction
who by the constitution is a member
of the board to constitute the entire
membership of the board.
"My reasons for this recommenda-
tion are to relieve the board from
possibility of political coercion or con-
trol either by the present appointive
.lower the governor or by the super-
intendent of public instruction who is
a constitutional member of such board
or by a combination of both such of-
ficers; and to make members of the
board responsible for their offityal
conduct directly to the people who
elected them and not to the governor
who appointed them. The law should
contemplate and the practical work-
ing out or the plan would result In the
exercise of the independent judgment
of the entire membership of the board
Instead of having them mere voting
proxies and echoes of one will and
determination. While the hw at pres-
ent contemplates the exercise of in-
dependent judgment of the seven
members of the board acting as a de-
liberative body for the interests in
the state fyet the practical working
out of the present legislation has
brought about a eon 'ition where one
of these two alternative 3 confronts a
member.
(a) Either the appointive member
ahull yield to pressure of tiie governor
who appointed him and vote his will;
or
(b) They shall subject themselves
to arbitrary attempts at removal and
the ignominy attaching thereto.
Tiie plan suggested would render
impossible the recurrence of the pres-
ent demoralizing condition wherein
two boards are attempting the incon-
ceivable task of filling the office of
one board with the result that mails
of the public institutions are heid up
the various departments and heads of
departments of the state government
are driven here and there laboring
under the uncertainty of possible lia-
bility on their official bonds resnlrim;
from recognizing either one or the
other of the two such boards and the
presidents and superintendents of the
various institutions of the state un-
der the direction of the. state b.mr l
of education are distracted from the
