VINITA APPROPRIATION BILL
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR CRUCE

Oklahoma City Mar. 27.-At mid
night Saturday night, when the time
allowed for signing passed at the re
cent session of the legislature closed
Governor Cruce had cleared the doc
ket.
Altogether 135 bills and four joint
resolutions have been signed and be
come disapproved by the executive
No bills were allowed to die by limita
tion, everything in the governors
hands having been either approved OF
vetoed Governor Cruces heavy use
OF the veto is a new thing in the his
tory of Oklahoma legislation, not more
than half dozen bills having been dis
approved at any of the previous legis.
lative sessions since statehood.
As his last days work Governor
Cruce signed eighteen bills and vetoed
ten All of the bills vetoed Saturday
were measures of statewide interest,
including several which were likely to
prove a heavy burden on the railroads
and other corporate interests. No more
appropriation bills were in the disap-
proved list.
The vetoed bill, probably of the
greatest local interest, was the one es-
tablishing a state fair at Muskogee.
Muskogee had had strong lobby here
all week, but was unable to change
the governors opinion that the bill.
while carrying no appropriation now,
afforded an entering wedge for big de-
mands on future legislatures.
The bill for the joint use of street
railway tracks was another of those
disapproved, which was of great local
interest.
Others disapproved were those Great
ing the office of state tax commissions
er, allowing the leasing of minors land
for oil and gas for period extending
beyond their majority, requiring rail
roads to maintain hospitals in the
state, fixing the experience to be re-
quired of railroad trainmen, requiring
railroads to install crossings on all
public highways or private roads, To-
eating an additional agricultural school
at Shawnee, and making the state
board of agriculture the state poultry
commission.
Several important bills on which the
governor had apparently been undecid-
ed to the last were signed Saturday,
including the bill for the sale of all of
the states school lands, on creating
the office of county assessor, one re-
organizing the state militia and one
creating a state training school for
incorrigible girls, with no location
specified.
The other bills approved were all
appropriations, including building ap-
propriations of $250,000 for the peni-
tentiary, with $4,000 for additional
lands $325,000 for the reformatory,
with 10000 for land; $250,OO0 for the
Vinita insane asylum; $17O,95O for the
agricultural and mechanical college;
$40, 900 for the school for the deaf, cut
by the governor from $135,000; $43,-
600 for the school of mines, cut from
$4,000 for the boys training
school at Pauls Valley; $11, ,450 for the
