Uncle Sam May Interfere.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. S.-The
cabinet is considering the question
of the use of American troops to
protect American interests in Jaurez.
lntimations that the revolutionists
are advancing upon Jaurez and were
preparing to begin the bombardment
at 3 o'clock this afternoon led the
officials to consider the propriety Of
resenting any seth. bombardment
1t will be necessary to obtain the
consent OF the Mexican government
to cross the Rio Grande with Amer

tivity of the American troops would
be confined to maintaining order in
Jaurez, protecting the property there
and preventing fighting within nt

Insisting on economy in appropri
ations, both for maintenance and
buildings, and urging that the states
expenditures be kept within its in.
come, Governor Cruce submitted TO
the legislature Thursday the esti-
mates of appropriations desired by
the various state departments, as
institutions, as submitted to him by
their heads, aggregating for the bien-
mum $S,70S,454.31. The message,
which accompanied the budget, stat
ed that these estimates do not, in
most cases, include the buildings ask
ed from the legislature at this ses-
sion.
The governor does not request the
legislature with these estimates, but
on the contrary he urges that the ap-
preparations be held down to the low
est possible point, stating that the re-
' suit can be foreseen readily If the
state continues to spend s4,000,OOO or
$5,O00,0O0 each year when its income
is only $3,OOO,OOO.
The budget submitted, which does
not include the text book commission,
code commission, district judges or
district court stenographers, includes
$5,304, ,7OS.34 for 1912 and $3,O45,316.34
with enough asked for deficiency ap-
plopriations to make the total $S,70S,-
454.31. In the same connection the
governor shows that the states total
income for the past year was s3,090,-
009.S1, including $79,35S insurance re-
ceived from burned buildings, ana
$49S,O00 from the sale of public build
ing warrants, while there are $2,320,-
62O.66 or state warrants registered and
now outstanding, which must be paid
from the general revenue fund and
taken into consideration by the legs-
lature.
Strong Recommendations.
The governors recommendations on
public building appropriations are par
ticularly strong. He declares that
only the most pointed necessity can
justify further building appropriations
at this time, in view of the fact that
there are now building bills amount
ing to $44S,S75.78 still unpaid, and no
funds with which to meet them. 1t is
asserted that by reason of this condi-
tion contractors must necessarily
make their prices higher to the state
than for other work, and that it would
he wise to delay until the state has
the money to erect its buildings along
business lines.

The Message.
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Gentlemen:
I herewith transmit for your infor-
nation and use estimates made by
practically all of the departments and
institutions of this state of what Is
claimed to be their needs for the fiscal
years ending June 80, 1911, and June
30, 1912, also a statement of the
amounts necessary to meet existing
deficiencies for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1911. I am also handing you
a statement showing the amounts and
sources of revenue of the state in de-
tail from November 80, 1909, to No
ember 80, 1910.
OF the deficiency appropriations,
desire to call attention, first, to that
of the governor or executive office.
You will note that in this amount is
included the claim for fee by the
Honorable T. J. Leahy, $1,5O0.
have submitted with his bill state
ment from Ex-Governor C. N. Haskell
showing the conditions under which
Mr.. Leahy performed the service for
which this claim is rendered.
The item of $4,000 for the state
treasurer is to pay the accrued inter-
est on the outstanding bond issue of
$1,460,00 that matured on the first
day of February, 1911. The interest
on this issue at four per cent is $751;
400 per annum and natures August
first and February first of each year.
The last legislature, in making appro-
priations to take care of this interest,
appropriated for the current year only
S29,200 which amount was consumed
in paying the interest that matured
August first, 1910. l would urge that
this appropriation be made at once in
order that the states credit may be
properly protected.
Newspaper Claim.
/ would call your attention also to
the claim of the Guthrie Leader for
$l,27S.59. You will note from the item
lied claim submitted herewith that
this claim is for alleged deficiencies
in various departments of the state
government and should have been in
cluded by these departments in their
estimates of deficiencies.
No estimate has been furnished me
as to deficiency appropriation neces-
sary to take care of the Norman Insti,
tuition for the Insane.
The total deficiency appropriation
is 1858, ,429.63.
