PRESIDENT PETTUS
ADVISES ACTION
Now Is The Tinu- to See That Pro-
per Appropriations Are Made
For Our Schools.
LANGSTON Okla. .lul.v 8 We
wish to remind the Negroes of the
state that this is Ihe month in
which Ihe fate of Negro Schools'
will be decided for the car 11120-
21. 'Ihe excise boards of the sev-
eral counties will meet and pass
Ulion the estimates made by Coun-
l and cit.v supci intendenls or
schools and Couiilj Commissioners.
It has been the nile in many places
heietofore for these excise ho.uds
lo cut the estimates for Negro
schools to a minimum Iheicbv de-
sluiMiig the elllciency of "these
sciioois llieu plead Ihe vicious so-
called "one mill law" as a justill-
cation for their conduct.
The "one mill law" is dead and
buried Ihe action of the Atloincv
General's ol lice and it is Ihe dul'v
of the Negro ciliens and the friend's
of Negro education in this stale to
siy lo it that it is not lcsiirrccled.
There are tow legal provisions af-
fecting Negro schools upon the en-
Inrrcmcnt of which all friends of
Negro education in this stale should
insist.

pective counties SUKE1CIENT to
maintain said Sepaiale schools
said taxes SHALL lie estimated
LEVIED and COLLECTED in the
same manner as other taxes for
county purposes."
While the excise boards were
later given the right to review all
estimates or the boaid or count
commissioners they have no au-
thority in law to cut down such
estimates so long as they are nec-
essary and do nol infringe upon the
provision prohibiting a levy in ex-
cess of ten mills for all county
purposes.
The points which we wish to em-
phasize in the constitutional pro-
visions aic ilrst that which says
"with like -accommodations." If
this means anything at all it means
like school buildings like facili-
ties including school libraries ap-
paratus for domestic science and
art manual training etc. and
leachers equally trained. Second
that clause which says that such
schools shall be "impartially main-
tained." This means that in all the
essentials necessary for the success-
ful prosecution of educational pro-
cesses the funds shall be available
to provide for the same. It means
thai the school buildings in the
same district shall be so similar in
