ALL FUNDS
Of STATE To
TREASURER
McCRORY SAYS STATE TREASUR-
Err SHOULD BE THE GUARDIAN
OF FUNDS NOW HANDLED BY
SCHOOL LAND COMMISSION.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 20.-A Nc
Crory of Ringing, member of the
house of representatives, candidate
for speaker, is in accord with the
declaration of the platform of the
democratic party in Oklahoma as 10
placing in the hands of the state
treasurer all the funds of the state
This includes the funds of the school
land office which are now being han
died independently by the school
land commission. In discussing this
and allied matters Mr. McCrory said:
"All state officers or employees
collecting moneys for or on behalf
of the state, upon receipt OF same,
should Immediately deposit such
funds with the state treasurer; and
all claims against the state should
be filed with the state auditor. This
will bring about the same condi
tions that now exist in every we'll
governed state and will make sort
of clearing house for the state
through the Offices OF the state treas
urer and the state auditor. Under
this method there will not be so
many departments TO check and the
states financial business will be
greatly simplified. 1t will also in
my Judgment, materially reduce the
cost of handling and disbursing the
public funds, and will moreover, be
the means of increasing the states
revenue in the form of interest de-
rived from such funds. In other
words and in short, we need central
ization which is but another word
for simplitication, and wherever and
whenever you simplify you reduce
cost and promote efficiency and thor
oughness, which are quite as neces-
sary in the public business as in
private business.
Il am chiefly concerned in seeing
the next Legislature so organized as
to insure the very highest working
efficiency. 1t is my ambition to
contribute in my small and feeble,
yet earnest. way to the success of
the administration of Governor Will
liams. and | know how essential and
important it is that all the depart
ments including the legislature, be
efficient and have a fixed purpose
IN view. They should each under
stand the other, and in spirit of
real service earnestly get to work
and unhesitatingly redeem every
party pledge. The people have
right to expect nothing less.
Il want to see this legislature the
most effective one in the history of
Oklahoma and | believe with the
proper organization and manage
ment, and with all the departments
of the government working in con-
cert, our program, although it is an
important and large one, can be
completed within sixty days. | be
lieve that the legislature is going to
work with that purpose in view.

APPROPRIATION
S600,000 FOR
STATEPR|S0N
THAT is THE ESTIMATE OF THE
BOARD OF AFFAIRS FOR NEXT
TWO YEARS - NO INCREASE
IN PER CAPITA.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 20.--It is
understood that the appropriation for
the state penitentiary for the next
two years will be estimated by the
board of affairs at 100000. While
the sum to be asked for this insti-
tuition is larger than in the past, it
represents no increase per capita of
the prison population. The number
of men in the penitentiary has been
steadily increasing. f. b. Howard
of the board of affairs has just made
his visit to the prison.
The sum to be asked for will in
clude $4,000 for completion of build
ings now under construction and a
sum OF approximately $4,000 to cover
deficit in the present year in
prison maintenance. The Fourth leg
islature appropriated $219,000 for
each year for prison purposes and
stipulated that the prison revenues,
estimated at $4,000 a year, should
be used to meet annual expenses.
Under "A ruling by the attorney gen
eral, these revenues could not be
employed in that way, but had 10
be paid into the state treasury. This,
together with the increase in popu-
laton of the prison, is given as the
reason for the deficit of the present
year. The estimate of the board for
maintenance this session will be at
the rate of soc per capita of prison
population.
The report of the board is expect.
ed to recommend several shop
buildings and expenditures to place
the prison in way of maintaining
several industries that have been
recommended by the prison official
and by the board of prison control.
The board has long assumed the po-
siton that the inmates of the state
prison and other institutions should
BE- employed in Eainful occupations
and taught trades, so far as pos
sible. during the terms - their con-
iinement. The prison at McAlester
is said to be admirably adapted TO
the conduct of a furniture factory,
and there may be expected to BE "A
start in that and kind ed industrial
lines under the coming administra-
tion if the recommendations f the
board which has looked into the
subject, shall be adopted.
Recommendations OF the STATE
board of control as to what buildings
shall be erected and wnat factories
established will be LEI, open, how

Though the report of the commit
Tee does not say SO, it is probably
true that political exigencies have
been chiefly responsible for the snrvi-

schools at Castleton and Johnson. It
has long been believed by the public

these schools were not worth their

yet had the courage squarely to say so
