OPPOSED TO MANY
CHANGES IN LAWS
Governor cruce Urges the curbing OF
the Tendency to Grind Out Laws
Without Regard to Needs.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 11.-De-
crying any Wholesale change" in ex-
listing state. laws, Governor Lee Cruce
in his message to the Oklahoma legis-
lature Tuesday urged that body not
to attempt to base its merits on 'the
number of laws passed"
THE modern tendency" he said, 'is
to grind out laws without regard to
needs or result, as If the merits of a
Legislative body were to be determined
by the number of laws passed. The re-
|sult is that few lawyers have a knowl-
ledge of the laws, while the average
icitizen is completely bewildered, and
Host in the interminable maze. Fewer
laws in simpler language will bring an
lera of prosperity not hitherto known.
The majority of the people want to see
conditions become settled in Oklaho-
ma, and this can never be so long as
our laws are the subject of constant
change"
Governor Cruce recommended that
the election laws of the state be
changed, taking care to protect the in
Itegrity of elections properly. He said
the existing laws on the subject should
be simplified and written in as little
space as possible" Concerning the
proposed new election law he said:
mo matter how perfect it may be ii
will find its critics Immediately follow
i ing the first election under it. These
critics will largely be confined to the
defeated candidates. 1t has become
almost a universal custom for a de
feated candidate to charge defeat
leither to the rascality of his success
full opponent or to the unfairness o1
the election law, 1t is rare indeed that
the defeated candidate is willing tC
attribute his defeat to its real cause
the desire of majority of the yot4s4-
to have some other candidate fill the
office to which he aspired."
Following up his plea for limiting
the number of laws placed on the stat
ute books for the bewilderment of law
years and laity, Governor Cruce made
very few recommendations for new
laws or for the changing of old ones
Referring to difficulties experienced
by the state in enforcing its laws pro
lhibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors
the governor stated it as his beliei
that most violations of these laws were
traceable directly to gambling and rec
commended that it be made a felony
for any person to run a gambling house
in the state.
AS a remedy for the crowded condi
ltion of the docket of the state supreme
court Governor Cruce urged that dis
trict courts be given final jurisdiction
in all cases where the amount involv
ed does not exceed $500.
Touching the redistricting of the
state for legislative, judicial and con
gressional purposes as soon as con
gress shall establish the basis of ap
Iportionment the governor begged thai
the Legislature use spirit of fairness
''The history of other states" he said
teaches us that honest men of al
parties resent outrageous gerryman
dering.'

The meeting of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections. which is to
be held in this city, Nov 1-3. is one of
the really great conventions of the
State, on account of the great value
of the work done by the organization.
Among the distinguished speakers
from out of the State who, will address
the convention will be Arthur II. nam
of New York, special agent of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation. His special work
is the investigation of the evils of the
loan shark business and the work OF
remedial loan associations and il is
along this line that he win speak in
Augusta on the evening of Nov. 3.
This is a subject which the board be-
lieves much needs to be presented as
our laws seem to be inadequate to pre-
vent extortionate rates of interest. On
short time loans under 5000 made on
security of assignments of salaries or
wages. any rate whatever is legal UNI
der contract. Taking advantage of
this, many of the largest loan shark
dealers in New York City. it is alleged.
do business under the laws of Maine
from headquarters in the city of Port
land. Mr.. Ham will explain how these
transactions are manipulated.
