similar to the present on which to base

all grains in fair quantities, although
wheat is not. selling as fast as two

These are the facts; Governor Crucc

MORE "CRUEL ECONOMY"

In all the affairs of state govern
ment, varied and ramifying as they
are, there is probably no other in
stance in which the interest of tho
taxpayer has been so wantonly neg
lected, his money so needlessly and
deliberately squandered, as in the
matter of the employment of aTchi-
tects for the state capitol Assuming
that the building will cost one AMI a
half millions of dollars, the two gen.
tlemen composing the firm of archi-
tects will receive for their services
$4,000. The average farm laborar
who boards himself does not recei, e
more than thirty dollars per month
for his work, if the entire year il
considered. Upon this basis, it wolld
require more than two hundred men
at hard labor on Oklahoma farms tUr
one full year to earn what is being
paid these two men for their ser
vices. And here dwels n ,aie tiat
the people do not generally know.
When the citizens committee paid
into the hands of Governor Cruce the |
cash bonus of 100000, they insisted
that he begin active construction Of |
the building. He informed them that |
he was willing, upon their ipsistepce, |
to spend the money in construction |
work, with the understanding that |
they assumed all risk of the legis |
lature declining to accept the propo-
sition that was to be submitted t.
them; but that before he went further
in the matter he would employ com
petent architects to prepare plans.
Almost Immediately after this an
nouncement, member of the firm
of architects which has since been
employed, called on the governor and
exhibited a copy of contract that
had been made with them when it was
proposed to build the capitol at Put
nam City, and insisted that they
