SENATOR OWEN WILL ASK FOR
BIG INCREASE ON FED
ERAL STRUCTURE
BILL OUT OF Committee
Now Provides for Total of S21i 900
But senator VIII Ask or
Still More.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 15.-
Especial .)-Oklahoma cities Will
share In the distribution of govern
ment pork" in the shape of federal
buildings and sites to the extent OF
s379,75O, if the public building bill
reported to the house today from the
committee is passed by the present
congress. Furthermore, there is an
excellent chance that this sum desig-
mated from expenditure within next
fiscal year, will be largely increased
before the bill finally goes to tho
president for signature for both Sem
ator owen and Senator Gore, may
ask for additional buildings or larger
amounts for buildings, already under
construction.
Representative Davenport gets the
largest amount Of any of the Okla
homa congressman as the bill now
stands. IL provides $114.750 for the
federal building at Tulsa. Congress
already has appropriated well over
100000 for the Tulsa building but
large additions are deemed necessary
The treasury department has raised a
total appropriation of S350.000 for
Tulsa and when the public buildings
bill reaches the senate an amendment
will be tackled to 1t by Senator Owen,
providing the amount.
The senate committee on public
buildings and grounds already has
agreed to the larger appropriation,
through the efforts Of Senator owen
The house measure provides $4,000
for Il federal building at Woodward
which is in Representative Dick T.
Morgan's district. No other cities in
the second district are cared for in
the present bill but when the meas
ure reaches the senate both Senator
Gore, and Senator owen will make a
diligent effort to obtain between
$S50,000 and s500,0C for additions to
the building in Oklahoma City. 1t is
believed to be certain that Oklahoma
City will be cared for before the bill
finally gets out of congress. With the
senators caring for this project Mr..
Morgan was enabled to aid some 9TH
er city in his district. Representa-
tive Carter has obtained an appro-
prlation OF $4,000 for the building at
Durant, Representative Mcclure has
obtained $4,000 for the building AT
Chandler. while Representative Scott
Ferris has seen to 1t that provision
has been made for sites at Frederick

things he advises law requiring n
years residence in the state to Sc
cure a divorce instead of six months
and law limiting the number Of
rounds in a boxing bout. The change
in the divorce law he says should go

The fundamental need Of the state.
he says, is a revision of the system
of taxation and next In importance,
he believes, Is the perfection of the
governmental system in the interests
of economy and efficiency, maintain
ing that retrenchment should be ap-
piled to city and county governments
as much as to state government.
Pointing out that Nevada is sur
rounded by states which have given
women suffrage, the governor urges
the ratification Of an amendment CIV
ing them the right to vote in Nevada
He also recommends that congress
sional resolution providing for the
election Of United States senators by
