BOARD HAS POWER
. OVER ALL SUPPLIES
Attorney General Rules That Board
Of Public Affairs Must Let All
Building Contracts.

Guthrie, Okla, May 8 That the
state board Of public affairs, created
by the legislature. superseded the
state printing board, and has all its
powers among which Is the super.
vision of the state printer, who must
act as the board may direct is the
opinion rendered yesterday by Attor-
ney General West to the secretary
of the board of public affairs.
The attorney general also held that
the state board of public affairs has
full control over the awarding or re-
jecting OF the contract to erect the
new building for the state university
at Norman, and also the building for
all other state institutions The opin-
ion states that the exercise of this
power does not necessarily mean that
the board of public affairs can over
rule the decision of the board of re-
gents as to what sort of a building
should be erected
The attorney general suggests that
the plans be first passed upon by the
regents as to the adaptability OF the
buildings proposed, but asserts that
the board Of public affairs has charge
Of the construction Of all buildings
owned, used or occupied by the state
with the exception of what may have
been legally done by the boards Of re,

BUREAU INJURIOUS

Senator owen Believes Plan of Max
ing Wards Of indians is lmpedi-
ment TO Advancement.

Washington, May s.-Wiping out.the
entire Indian bureau of the govern
ment with It's thousands of employees
is the plan Of Senator Robert l.. owen
who has been In very close touch with
that bureau since the time nearly 25
years ago when he was appointed In
dian agent IN what Ia now oklahoma,
and he will offer a bin to that effect
as soon as the regular session of con
gress convenes, when such matters
can be considered Senator ovens
ideas upon this subject are interest
ing. When asked II he would intro
duoe bin to abolish the Indian office
he replied
well, have not drawn any bin for
that purpose but have entertained
the opinion for many years that the
Indian Office and its policies of max
ing a baby of the Indian was iniuri-
Gus to the development of the Indian,
and for that reason have thought
1t would be better for the Indian that
the government abolish the Indian of
fee entirely. / should favor, how.
ever. putting on the pension roll any
old Indians, who are incapable of self
support, but / would put them on the
pension roll and pay them through the
pension Office.
1T would be a great mistake to sup
pose that have any hostilities to The
indian office or any Of It's officials
the contrary II true, have sincere
regard and respect for the employees
and would not think II advisable L
abolish the Indian office Immediately
but think IL would be advisable to 81
a time within which It should con
clude at the expiration of such period
4 should think II judieious to Civ
two years within which to allow an!
Indian tribes having claims agains
the United States 10 bring their sui
through the court of claims. and tha
every Indian claim should be there
after, barred by the statute of limita
tions, so as to conclude this branol
Of the service
Il have drawn no bill. but ! thinl
that shall do so the coming winter
and will submit Il TO the Indian Office
for revision. The noblest function
which the Indian office can exercise Is
its self-effacement.
