OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1.-THE
| long expected capitol commission bill
was introduced I'm the senate today
by the committee on public buildings
The bin represents a compromise be-
tween the ant-abolition men and the
abolition men.
The measure provides that the pres
ent capitol commission shall remain
on duty at the present salaries, until
the contract for the completion Of
the capitol is awarded. After that
they will be subject to the call Of the
governor and will receive $40 per day
for the time that they actually work.
This is the joker in the bill as il gives
the governor authority 10 dispense
with the services Of the commission
ers entirely after the contract is let,
II he sees fit
The governor is made eX-officio
chairman Of the capitol commission
and may remove any member OF the
commission for cause AZ any time
In his message to the legislature
the governor recommended that the
capitol commission be entirely abol-
ished after the contract should be let.
While this bin makes no such drastic
provision as the governor desired, still
~ is construed as a victory for him.
There IS strong likelihood, how
ever, that the bill will be materially
amended or possibly killed when IL
comes up on the floor OF the senate.
In the meantime work on the capi-
tol Is progressing on the day labor
plan.
