FOUR BOARDS
DOOMED FOR
THE BLOCK
IN INTEREST OF EcoNOMY-THE
BOARD OF AFFAIRS, CAPITOL
COMMISSION, EDUCATION, AND
PRISON CONTROL.

Oklahoma City, Jan. abolition
of the state board of affairs, the
state capitol commission, the state
board of education and the board OF
prison control as now constituted, is
proposed by bills introduced in the
senate Thursday and has been the
general topic of discussion about leg
islative halls and hotel lobbies since.
The state board Of affairs, as now
constituted, is composed of three
members in whom is vested the pur-
chasing power of the state and each
of whom draw a salary Of $1,000 a
year
The state capitol commission is a
creation of the Fourth legislature and
has three members at salary Of
S., 900 each. They have taken all OF
the preliminary steps incident to cap
ttol construction, and it is through
this commission that many members
of the legislature feel they hold their
own remaining string upon the con-
struction of the new state building.
To abolish the state capitol COM
mission is in line with retrench-
ment policy outlined by the incoming
administration and the appearance OF
the present measures at this early
hour in the program of the Fifth
legislature is looked upon by many
as the opening of the only real fight
! that is in store for the coming ses-
sion.
The bill was introduced in the sen
ate Thursday afternoon by Senator
O. ]. Logan of Hobart and Senator
| Frank Beauman of Waurika.

BY the further terms of the bill

TO the newly created institution for
two years. A building north of Ok
lahoma City, formerly occupied by the
Oklahoma Golf club. was secured

Paroles Granted.
During the calendar years of 1913
and 1914, Governor Cruce informed
the legislature. he granted iS5 per-
manent paroles; II combinations Of
sentence; 13 stays of execution; 20
temporary paroles; seven extensions
of temporary paroles; 20 modified
pardons, paroles and combinations;
90 revocations of paroles and two
pHrdons.
OF the permanent paroles issued,
372 were in felony cases. OF the to-
tai number of 4S5 granted in two
years, only Ii were revoked. The
other eight reyocatiOns were of pa
roles granted prior to the creation
of the prison board and before 1913.
When it is remembered" said the
governor, that parole officer looks
after the prisoners paroled and by
correspondence or other methods
keeps in touch with them, this report
shows that the parole system in
vogue in oklahoma is accomplishing
splendid results, and that a very
small percentage OF those released
on parole violate the terms thereof.
This is the more remarkable when
IL is considered that in all paroles
granted in this state conditions are
imposed which require a strict OBJ
servance of the laws of the state
Cash Basis Now.
Governor Cruce characterized as a
unique and remarkable record, the
operation OF the state treasurer's OF

practically none of the current years

WILSON TOO MILD
British Press Comments Upon
His Message to Congress.
A Slap at Roosevelt Read Be-
tween the Lines.

London, Dec. 9.-EXpressing the
view that President Wilson's denuncia-
ton in his message of the activities of
war plotters was too mild in general
and not sufficiently discriminatory be-
tween unneutral conduct and criminal
conduct, the Pail Mall Gazette says:
He even goes so Tar as to suggest
that the acts of an assassin or a dyna-
inter are chiefly heinous as exhibit
tions of unneutral conduct, and that
equal censure must fall upon every
American who fails to keep the scales
of judgment even and prove himself
a partisan of no nation but his own
I'VE cannot say that this theory of
morals, whatever its convenience may
be in domestic politics will increase
the respect of the outside world for
the official attitude of the White
House. Literal reading of Mr.. Will
sons message would almost suggest
that he regards ex-President RoOse-
veIts denunciation of Miss Cavell's
execution as equally heinous with the
crime of last week, which blew some
twenty munitions workers into frag-
ments."
The Westminster Gazette comments
most sympathetically upon the prac-
teal difficulties confronting the presi-
dent and his highly honorable reasons
for trying to keep his western world
rallied off from European chaos" but
fears that his denunciations may even
be regarded as compliments by those
to whom they are addressed.

IT PAYS A BIG PROFIT
Iola's Municipal Electric Light Plant
Handles Commercial Business
of the Town.

lola, Kan, Dec. 9.-The municipal
electric light plant is shown to be the
best investment ever made by the city
of lola, in a report made by George
Freeman, commissioner of finance.
With a sliding scale of from two to
four cents per kilowatt hour, for COM
mercial and domestic consumers, the
plant has returned a net profit of
nearly $4,000 for the twelve months
on an investment of $4,000.
improvements have been made
which bring the valuation of the plant
to S72,339. In addition one hundred
and twenty-five street lights are main
tanned for which no charge is made.
The city's original investment in the
plant was a bond issue of $4,000.
Recent improvements have made it
possible to take on large users of cur
rent, including the United States
Smelling company, which uses a min
imum of 5000 per month. Iola's cleo
trio rate is the lowest in the state.

THEY WANT AN ORGAN
the Establishment of a Weekly
Paper Here.

Four or five Topeka Democrats
want a weekly Democratic paper-a
Kansas Democratic organ. They are
looking around for a plant and for d
good live Democrat to run it. That is
the information that comes from a
prominent Democratic Officeholder.
Carl Peterson, who was formerly in
the state bank commissioner office
has talked the matter over with sew
eral of the leading Democrats of To-
peka and tentative plans have been
made for the establishment of such a
paper. The plan talked over is that
of buying a weekly paper that is al
ready established and using its cir
culation as a nucleus.
Postmaster Will Rigby admitted this
morning that he had been approached
on the subject but stated that he was
not one of the moving spirits.
Il have an idea that something like
that could be done,' he said, and per-
haps it will be, but outside of the
interest any good Democrat would
have, 1 am not interested in the mat
ter. 1t looks to me like it would be
possible to establish a good weekly
Democratic paper in Topeka or bring
one here"
Burt E. Brown of Lawrence, secre-
tary of the Senate during the last ses-
sion of the legislature, not only be-
lieves that the plan is feasible but that
such a paper will be established soon.

TALKED IN HER SLEEP
Her Husband Heard Her-and 1t
Wasn't His Name She
Spoke.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 9.-She talked
IN her sleep.
Her husband heard her, and it
wasn't his name that she spoke
1t was the name of Joe Holmaka,
star boarder, before whose arrival
there had been peace in Martin Sed-
locek's family.
In those happy days Mrs. Sedlocek
did all the work for 10 boarders. her
husband and three children and didn't
rebel much, but later she blossomed
into a butterfly. She went out nights
and days The number of boarders
Shrunk to eight.
Joes bill ran up to 500. Joe got
to be a man of consequence in the
house and ''bawled OUT Sedlocek
when the latter argued with his wife.
All that, in effect, is the testimony
offered by Mr.. Sedlocek in contest
ing before Judge Ludwig the appli-
cation for a divorce made by his wife.
Mrs. Sedlocek, in support of her
contention that she ought to be free,
said her husband had tried to obtain
a photograph record of what she said
in her dreams, but the machine was
smothered under her pillow.
The judge remarked the evidence of
what was said in sleep was not con-
elusive, so deferred decision.
