Pierre, Feb. 15-The week aas seen
several very important measures
passed in one house or the other, but
few such measures have become law.
The good roads bill is out of the sen

fact, only four votes were recorded
against il. 1t provides all taxes must
be paid in cash and the work done
upon contract. II is not SO complete
as the Whiting bill, but If 1t becomes
law it will be a step in the right di-
rection. A second good roads bill
also has passed the senate, which in
effect gives county commissioners jul
risdiction over townline roads. 1t Is
by Lockhart OF Deuel. and will have a
good effect In keeping up roads about
which there is always divided respon-
sibility and generally more or less
indifference.

The Ewert bill requiring railroads
to equip their passenger engines with
electric headlights has passed both
houses. The 2-cent bill itself did not
create SO much discussion and inter-
est. There have been delegations
here from the Brotherhood of Locomo.
tive Engineers all winter lobbying for
and against the bill. The young en-
gineers are all for the measure and
the old timers against it. The debate
in the house brought out the most
vivid remarks of the session.

The appropriations for public print
ing are through the house and caused
a good deal OF feeling, The cost Of
this item Is constantly increasing and
members cannot understand it, al
though every session adds largely to
the number Of reports to be printed.
There is no more perplexing problem
In government than to secure the nee
essary publicity of the doings of its
departments at the minimum of cost.
1t requires about SEE, 900 annually to
print the reports and do the legisla-
tive printing. The general printing
bill Of two years ago carried only
$3T 900 and the entire cost Of the
printing reached $53. 900. but this in
cluded $4,000 for the constitutional de-
bates, which will be refunded to the
Treasury as the books are sold. The
bill this year carries $4,000 and 1t
was necessary to pass a deficiency bill
of $4,000 for the failure to provide
enough for the last biennium. The
members and the public generally
have a notion the printers are making
a fat thing of of the printing. but
that is not true. Much of the work
this year Is done ut an actual loss
and none Of 1T brought more than 9
trivial profit. The simple fact is that
publicity through printed reports IL
the states greatest safeguard against
extravaganza and corruption and such
publicity cannot be secured except By
paying for 1t.

Oklahomans.

Senators Curtis and La Toilette and
Representative Sheppard of Texas called
on the President yesterday to see If it is
possible for the federal government to
take action against ten or twelve white
men now in Oklahoma who are charged
with frauds and forgeries against Kieka-
poo Indians.
A number of these Indians went to live
in Mexico. When Oklahoma was admit
ted to statehood the men who are accused
went there to secure the signatures of the
Indians to deeds Of conveyance to valua-
Bile lands in Oklahoma. Failing to secure
these. 1t Is alleged, they resorted to
wholesale forgeries.
Indictments have been returned against
them in Texas. The Mexican government
is threatening to bring indictments.
Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma SO far has
refused to surrender the men to the Texas
authorities, it is stated. There is strong
feeling that they should be brought to
