A LETTER TO THE
GOVERNOR.
Dear Gowrnor:
Tour* of Satnrday addressed
to taxpayers and cttlsens, has
been received and before we give
you our advice on the school ap-
propriations you asked about,
permit ua to congratulate you on
uncovering a new wrinkle—for
Oklahoma governors—In treat
“We asked the railways to
agree that if the Adamson law
were held constitutional that thJe
construction and application
wouM be given it. Tho rail-
ways agreed.
If Fnconslitiitfonal.
"Wo next nought some adjust-
ment that would bo effective
should the law be hold to 1* un-
constitutional. In this regard,
many propositions were made to
both Bides but none was accept
ment of tho legislature's money : a*>,e until tho railroads expressed
j tlioir willingness to plane the
whole matter
Aid !•* none of ue make the
mlstalta at underestimating tna
magnitude ef the task which we
are forked te undertake.
Let us not delude einaelves
that bek-ause Germany la three
thousand miles away and cannot
gat to ug while tho Bnglleh float

ously affhet ua.
• Who cAa any with nay certain-
ty how ^ong England will be
able to bar tha path!

us In the BosfibUlty that control

British fleet, which for a hun-
dred years haa been our best
guarantee of immunity from

man submarinev V*. -*. b i — de-
clared war agalnnt civtUsatien.
At whatever coot to na In atoa f
«*r money than* Ugm of the non
into ho kiAUd down and do-
matters.
Now here ls our opinion on
tha entire state school proposi-
tion as it exists In Oklahoma:
Schools maintained by tho
state are Intended as Institutions
of higher education—an distinct
from the common school system.
Oklahoma should maintain,
and maintain properly, three
large higher educational Institu-
tions— university, agricultural,
normal.
Others, except as perhaps they
may he necesaary feeders for
these three, should ho abolished
Because, maintenance of these
others disperses both money and
energy that should he devoted
to making unexcelled tho three
ehlef educational division*.
Thor*fore, a whole host of lit-
tle schools should bo abolished.
As evidenced in every stats
legislative sooslon, thee* little
schools have bean tho basis for
an ahnoxloas pork-barrel sys-
tem.
Legislators from one school
district agree with legislators
from all others, to stand by the
others" It you will stand by ns.
Because this system Is so au-
tomatically perfect, based as it
is on tho very human thing
called selfishness. It will be |lm-
posslble ever to abolish it, in
the legislature. Log-rolling—
trading of votes—and school
“pork" will exist as long ns the
state school legislative clique Is
permitted to log roll, trade
vote* and grab pork.
Therefore, the remedy le up to
you, governor.
Put It into effect and you
have dona the biggest thing ever
accomplished in behalf of higher
education la Oklahoma.
The proposition yon have be-
fore yon Is r.at one In which
the eelflsh Interest of nay single
commnnlty should be considered
for n moment. It is state money
that’s being epent. So keep In
mind that fnct. And do what
appesro best for the good of the
state as n whole
