BUILDING WARRANTS SHOULD
Be SOLD ONLY At PAR

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 17.-Attorney
General West in an opinion Wednes-
day to Governor Lee Cruce holds that
|one legislative measure may contain
the appropriations for charitable and
penal institutions and public buildings,
and also that single bill may contain
appropriations for state building, its
equipment an dother articles to be
used in its maintenance.
He has also told the governor that
women are eligible to appointment as
he might desire, as regents for the
state university, the normal school
and deaf and dumb school, but that
they cannot serve as trustees of the
state Confederate home, because the
law says such trustees, so far as prac-
ticable, shall have served in the army
or navy of the Confederate states.
In letter to Governor Cruce, the
attorney general holds that the state $
public building warrants should be
sold only at par, and the good faith
of the state pledged for their payment
He expresses the opinion that a mis-
take was made when the law regard
ing the warrants was worded so that
the state is not liable for them.
He holds also that the warrants
should have been sold at par instead
of given to contractors in payment for
work, as was done last year.
Data has been compiled in the at
torney generals office showing the
work of that department for the past
year: Four bond issues were disap-
proved; 352 were approved, amount
ing in value to $6,O31 ,OS0; seventy
three opinions were given to the gov
ernor; 1877 to other state officers and
3,785 to county officers.

question was referred to the manu-
facturers committee, with power to
act.
Secretary Deck then read letter
from a Kansas City company which de-
sired to locate a commercial college
in Vinita. They asked neither build
ing nor bonus, but simply that the
Commercial Club assist them on get
ting quarters at a reasonable rental
and in securing rs pupils as starter.
President Wilson commented on the
reasonableness of the proposition.
D. Nj. Marrs expressed his conviction
that such an institution would be a
splendid thing for the town and said
that the commercial college in Parsons
Kans., had had over 1000 pupils en-
rolled during the past year.
The secretary was directed to con-
tinue correspondence with the COM
mercial company.
Several matters of unfinished busi-
ness were discussed, which it is de-
sired to close up before it becomes
necessary to get down to work on the
railroad proposition, and the members
present were appointed committee,
under the chairmanship of S. E. Wal
len, to attend to these. Mr.. Wallen
appointed Charles B. Mitchell secre-
tary of the committee and desires a
meeting in Judge Gill's Office Monday
Afternoon at o'clock. All other mem
bers of the club are invited to attend.
Plans will be discussed for reviving
and recognizing the club, and for TAX
ing full advantage of Vinitas splendid
commercial opportunities. There will
undoubtedly be something doing.
