or THE WORK OF
THE SECOND LEGISLATURE

Guthrie. Okla. Mar. 16.-The con
sencus OF opinion here. relative to the
work Of the legislative session just
closed is that there was a big work
to do and that the Legislators arose
70 the occasion
A few poll icians, more interested
in party success than in the material
development OF the state, are loudly
criticising what they term a moneyed
mad legislature, but business men,
who realize that business methods
must be used in state building the
same as in any other enterprise are
upholding he lawmakers.
The total appropriation for the com
ing two years and for the deficiency
of last year, will be over $6,000.000.
This is less than was the appropria-
tion made by the legislature of the
state Of Kansas in their session that
has just closed and, comparing the
needs of the two states, reveals the
fact that Oklahoma has been much
more economical than Kansas
4 few weeks ago, we had hundreds
Of prisoners thrown upon our hands
by the refusal of the state OF Kansas
TO care for them longer. Shall we
confine and work them. or turn them
loose upon our citizenship This is
one question that is not two sided
hence a big appropriation to build a
penitentiary at McAlester and a re-
formatory at Granite.
Shall Oklahoma give her people the
advantage of higher education? An
other question that mas but one. an
swer. The best educational facilities
are none too good sor Oklahoma,
hence large appropriations for the
university at Norman. the A. & NJ
college at saltwater, the State nor
mails at Alva, Weatherford and Ed
mond. and for the new educational
and charitable institutions at Durant,
Tahlequah. Ada. Vinita Claremore,
Palus Valley. Chickasha, Sulphur, TT.
Gibson and Taft.
At each OF these places new build
ings must be erected, and as we are
not merely building for tomorrow the
lawmakers made adequate appropria-
tions for substantial buildings, The
negroes were taken care OF at Langs-
ton. and were given an orphan home
at Taft The Legislators were made
of the same material as are the men
who are building the cities Of our
state. Ihey were state builders, and
did not stop for PARTISAN criticism,
and yet. with provisions for all of the
above and several other buildings not
mentioned, the Oklahoma appropria-
tions were less than Kansas.
There is considerable speculation as
to what the gubernational pruning
knife will do for the appropriations
as the constitution gives the governor
the power to veto or cut separate
items without vetoing the whole bill.

Mr. Schwab. who was formerly

one OF the most earnest advocates of
protection for the steel industry to
appear before the committee. His re-
plies to the questions of members of
the committee were replete with fig

that the Bessemer process of steel

Washington. D. c.. Mar. l5.-Fully
three hundred importers and export
ers. manufacturers and agrieulturists
and tariff experts appeared before the
house committee on ways and means
al the various hearings which began
on November 10th and continued
daily until December 23rd, and also
at several supplemental hearings.
Some Of the most prominent men in
the manufacturing and financial world
presented testimony of varied and
interesting character. In addition TO

who caused considerable discussion in
proclaiming, in a magazine article,
that the steel manufacturers Of this
country do not need any tariff protec-
ton. was before the committee for
nearly eight hours. His testimony,
while witty and entertaining. did not
offer the tariff makers much specific
information regarding the cost Of
manufacturing steel rails and other
articles Of steel He dealt largely in
theories and deductions and avoided
figures, claiming that he was not fa-

tariff protection and said that if the
duty on steel should be removed the

market. The cost Of labor would be
