on the textbook matter the superin-
tendent recommended new laws
In addition 10 other suggestions al
ready made 1 would respectfully rec
ommeud that the following laws be
passed:
i. A law authorizing county commits
sioners To levy county tax TO be ap-
portioned per capita among the several
districts OF the county. This would be
a great relief 10 the poorer districts in
the more distant parts OF the county.
-. A law placing the funds in the
hands Of the county rather than the
T.
acted by the last legislature while IL
permits the district treasurer TO handle
money. IS an expense 10 the school dis
tr;cts and 10 the teachers.
, law removing all superintend-
ents from the boards OF health
a A law authorizing the county com
missicners 20 pay county sup~rintendents
81 for each school visited annually IN
the county.
IS. law requiring county superin-
tendents 10 forward their annual reports
to the territorial superintendent at an
earlier date. Withholding the last guar
/, ters salary until the county sup>rin-
tendent presents a certificate from the
! territorial superintendent that the re

In his recommendation. Mr.. Cooper
saws.
TO the Initiated mind no argument
is required to sustain the proposition
that the amount OF a banks capital
should bear = reasonable ratio to Its
liability to its depositors. IL is with the
firmcst conviction that the public good
+ will be promoted and that Oklahoma =
banks viii be better banks. and conss-
Guentiy that the surplus balances Of the
business man and the savings % the
farmer and artisan will BE- safely kept
that I earnestly recommend 70 the seFi-
Gus consideration OF the next leg.sla-
turs that the minimum capital with
which a bank may open for business IN
Oklahoma De the sum Of S0.ooo. which
shall be fully paid before the authority
is given 10 the bank TO open for bust
ness
Dr. Been blossom % the Livestock San

been very unsatisfactory.
