INSANE PATIENTS
TO Be REMOVED
THREE HUNDRED OF THE IN
MATES OF THE STATE ASYLUM
AT NORMAN TO GO TO VlNITA.

Norman, okla, Jan. 12.-The Who'll
town of Norman is on the q ! Nive
fer the special train that is to curry
the 800 inmates of the state insane
stitution at Vinita. The date of -
trains movement is being kept sec"et
to prevent any congrega.;O. of sight
serrs en- route and fer ot2c.' -'asons
Of policy.
A elmllar train transported about
the same number to For Supp,y fDlr
years ago and the t"ir was made
without any serious trouble. TIE
violent patients were trare por,cd IN
especially prepared coaches, which
were carefully guarded throughout
the Journey. The train to the Vinita
institution will carry only the best
disposed patients, and for that reas-
on the trip will lack somewhat in
the excitement which might accom-
pany such a journey with the nor"
violent passengers
The Vinita and Fort Supply
asylums are owned and managed by
the state and it is thought that the
removal of the patients from the Nor
man institution will be a great saving
to the state The institution at Nor
man is owned and controlled by tho
receiver of the defunct Capitol Ma
tioral Bank of Guthrie, as that bank
owned a majority of the stock OF
the Norman sanitarium. The instl-
tuition at Norman cares for the pa
tients of the state for 5000 per head
per annum. The population of the
sanitarium at present is about 1,lOJ
and is continually growing. 1t has
proved to be one of the best paying
institutions of the state and the COM
will save much in the
erection and maintenance of its new
institutions.

MORGAN BILL SEEKS
AN APPROPRIATE
CARRYING $11,767,99 FOR USE
AND BENEFIT OF SCHOOLS IN
THIS STATE.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Representa-
tive Morgan of Oklahoma today IL
troduced a bill appropria.ing 11,767
800 for the use and benefit of the COM
MCn schools of his state. The theo.y
on which the bill was introduced is
that the $5,000,000 direct appropra-
tor carried in the enabling act o.
1905, providing for the admission in
tC the union of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one state, was not near
ly the equivalent of section 16 and 6
III each township. For more than tit
t. years prior to 1906 the un form
nract,ce of congress had he n to grant
tSc sections Of land in each county
ior school purposes. Inasmuch as Al
of The land in Indian Territory be-
longed to the Indians, this could not
be done. Mr.. Morgan contends that
AT least ST., 100000 shculd have beca
carlisd in the enabling act to offset
the failure to provide lanG.
In referring to the bill Mr.. MorSa
said:
Congress, no doubt, intended 10 e
just to the state of Oklahoma When
it appropriated $5,OO0,OOO in lieu pf
the loss of 1,117000 acres of land in
cluded in sections 16 and SO in Indian
Territory At the time the enatlirg
act was passed these lands were rea
sonably worth the sum of $15 per
acre, or, in the aggregate, they were
worth over $16,OOO,O00 Above all 9th
er states Oklahoma should have had a
grant of land for the common schools
fully equal to that which had been
granted to other states for more than
half century. About one-third of the
entire Indian population of the Uni
ted state is within the state of Okla
homa, thus adding to the burdens |
which the people of the state must |
bear for educational purposes. I'm
der the laws enacted by congress and |
the treaties made with the Indians,
as construed by the supreme court
Of the United States fully three
fourths of the lands of-.Indian Terri
tory are not subject to taxation.
have given the matter considerable
study and have come to the conclus-
ion that the state of Oklahoma has
A just claim against the government
'or an additional appropriation for
he use and benefit OF the public
schools. This appropriation should be
equal to the difference between the
100000 already granted and the
reasonable value of the 1,117,000 acres
If land which the state would have
,een granted if sections 16 and sc in
indian Territory had been availa i
or that purpose"
