from, and through the eolored Home
Mission schools 90 into the pockets OF
white persons, than into che pockets OF
colored persons 7
We mention this, that you may see.
that whatever white persons do fer the
colored people in their schools, they
are compensated, and at no financial
loss. Ever since A. ID. 1920, some
white persons have been and are max
ing money Of colored people.
REFERENCE TO DR. KAsoN.
Rev. DR.. Eason OF the Baptist Lead
err. Ala, truly says, the colored man,
''sees that much OF the white mans
philanthropy is for honor, and his
Christian bene-olence is to open work
for their children and give employ
ment to some of the large number OF
| Christian workers OF the white race.
That such is the cass cannot be deRied |.
See the emphasis put upon the decla
| ration at Salem, that the faculty OF the
Union University would be composed
| of post graduates, thus virtually say
/ ing no person of color need apply for a
chair therein. although brought up at
the feet Of q Gamsliel, unless he is q
post graduate Some endesvor to
make 1T sppear that all the money Civ
en- for the Home Mission Colored
Schools, comes from white Ipersons.
Colored persons give for those schools
although they are not as financially
able as white persons.
A FEW STATISTICS.

OKLAHOMA STATE SCHOOLS ARE
SHORT OF FUNDS.
CLARKE BILL IS THE CAUSE
1T TIES UP MONEY BELONGING rU
THE SCHOOLS.
Provides That No Warrants shall he
Paid Except Upon Specific Appro-
priatiOns by h Assembly
-Sone DOubt az to Itn
Legal Passage.

GUTHRIE. q. T.. March 2~3-tSpe:ial.)
There IS Il possibility that the doors Of the
Oklahoma state educational institutions
will have to be closed during the next two
years and the mot open for want OF funds
sign displayed. The future of the schools
depends upon the decision of the courts re-
Sardin. the question of the passage OF
Councillor Sidney Clarke's bill. No. ;. relat-
ing 10 the payment of warrants. Terrific
rial Treasurer Frank NJ. Thompson today
held up warrant for the paymen of Il
music teacher in the normal school. and
this. it is expected. will bring the case into
the courts at an early date. The Clarke
bill provided that the treasurer should pay
no money upon warrants unless appropria-
tionS for their aymen had been made by
the assembly. 1t passed both houses but
Was vetoed by Governor Barnes. who pre-
dicted that the schools would be seriously
crippled should the measure become i law.
The question of passing the bill over the
governors head was then raised ana de-
feated in both bodies, but Subsequently Il
reconsideration was had and the bill showed
through with the necessary majority. The
question which the court will be called
upon to settle is whether the assembly
can reconsider action upon a bill disap-
proved by the governor when 1t has once
voted not to override his veto.
The four territorial Schools-the UNIVERSE
ty, normal. industrial, and deaf and dumb
are supported largely by Il tax of !. mill
levied for each. and no additional apprO-
priatiOns are made for their maintenance
by the assembly. If the new law Is held to
be constitutional. they will have to fall
back upon the revenue received froIc the
sale of school lands. which Is insufficient
for their support. The territory will also
be unable to make payments on its bonded
Indebtedness.
The Clarke bill attached a penalty uf not
to exceed $1,000 upon the treasurer foi each
warrant honored. so that Mr.. Thompson
| proposes to exercise caution until the mat
ter Is settled. The warrant held up carried
$22s.
The insane asylum will be affected n the
same manner as the schools. There are
now about 2OO patients in the asylum. In
case Treasurer Thompson's action Is up
held. IL Is not unlikely that a special se~-
sion will be called by the governor to make
provision for the state institutions.
