GOVERNOR SIGNS
THE ASYLUM BILL
Measure Locating East Side Hospital
For The Insane at Vinita
is Now Law.

Among 'he important legislative
enactments signed by Governor Has.
kell Stature ~ was the bill providing
for the establishment of the Cast side
insane asylum at Vinita,
The asylum bill was not reached
by the governor until about six
o'clock Saturday evening and some
Of the timid ones were beginning to
get nervous. However there was
never any doubt in the minds OF those
best informed that the bill would be
signed in due time and become a law.
Governor Haskell had given his word
that he would act favorably on this
measure and his signature followed
as natural consequence Of this
promise.
Il is not known exactly when the
state board of commissioners will be
here to select site for the institu-
tion, or when construction work viii
begin, though II is expected the main
buildings will be read for occupancy
some time within the year
Other important bills signed by the
governor Saturday, that being the last
day under the constitution that bills
could be held without action we're the
Yeager-strain pipe line bill, the TIL
lottson gas preservation bill, the bill
creating a board OF public affairs to
purchase everything from lead PEN
ellis up used by the state, and thirty
eight appropriation measures carry
ing an aggregate appropriation of five
million dollars The governor at
tached his signature 20 fifty bills Sat
urday. The first bill to receive the
governors veto was the 100000
building for the central normal school
at Edmond.

BIG INCREASE IN
RAILROAD VALUES
Report Of Big Lines Operating In
Oklahoma Show Increase In
Assessable Worth.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar, PA compar-
ison OF the records in the Office of NJ.
E, Trap. state auditor, reveals the
fact that the railroad companys be.
iieves that there hac been wonder.
full increase in the valuation Of their
property since the advent Of state.
hood The law compels corporations
to make sworn statements as to the
value Of their property to be used as
a basis for assessment, and these are
the records alluded to.
During the last two years of Ter
ritorial government the people became
very much dissatisfied with railroad
assessment, thinking that the assess
ment was proportionately much low.
or on railroads than on individual
property.
In 1908, the four lagest companys
returned valuations, and that the NJ,
X. a. 4 showed that they had prop.
erty to the value of $l1, 1,s56090, and
that this year the valuation is inereas.
ed to s15,l99,2iS It appears that
statehood has not hurt the Katy.
In 1908, the Frisco returned its
property to the state board Mt $40.
$4,000 and this year when the sys.
tenn took an inventory and made
sworn statement to the board they
raised their valuation TO $25,969,14l.
Surely the actions OF the Oklahoma
laws and the corporation commission
has not adversely affected the Frisco
when they admit that their assessed
valuation has more than doubled.
without building more road
Last year the Rock Island gave
their assessed valuation at sSOS4 1922,
and this year they gave the same prop
erty in at s29,995,995. state regula-
tion appears to agree with the Rock
island and has increased the yalua.
tion OF It's property over 200 per cent
IN one year
The Santa Fe last year thought
their railroad property worth about
S3,O4i,3 1856, while this year they re.
turned the valuation az $23,6S3 ,769.
rhe state officers and the laws OF
Oklahoma must have been a blessing
in disguise to have had such wonder
ful salutary effects, and to have In
creased the valuation that much. It
would appear that two cents railroad
rare is about as beneficial to the rail
roads as to the passengers
