ers amount to considerable sum- but they have
drawn only the amounts fixed by law BY using
an automobile they purchased themselves
the commissioners have been enabled to super
intend the work very closely and see that it was
done properly.
But the fact remains that if this building was
being erected by private corporation for Its own
use there would be no such expenditures as are
shown in the secretary report The salaries
would be considerably reduced There are other
expenses that would be topped off in hurry. The
building of state capitol is public work, how
ever and there must be much red tape connected
with 1t.
Up to this time il is not charged that there has
been any graft Perhaps that charge will never
be made. but at the same time the salary eXpendl-
lures are showing up remarkably large

COTTON SITUATION LOOKS BETTER

There was q time when the pesSimist went mp
and down the fair land of Oklahoma contcndlng
in a loud voice that the country was ruined He
pointed to the price of cotton, one Of the state 3
staples as proof of the things he was shouting
II anything more was needed he pointed to the
price of OIL falling rapidly from day to day, and
the face OF the unthinblng optimst. unless he was
careful, took ON a gloomy look
One phase of the cotton situation right now is
the fact that prices have advanced somewhat over
the low level which prevailed and though there
is little fuctuation, there is good promise Of
ultimate relief
1t is noted by Dun's review that over mil
lion bales have been exported in the last month
and large lines of German credit placed in New
York banks to finance cotton shipments to Ger.
many,
The lifting OF the embargo on cotton has given
the holders Of that staple chance to get 10 the
market at a price that is approaching normal and
there is a corresponding relief
Perhaps we have only to wait little longer ia
zee the same thing happen to oil for already the
conditions look better In fact il is now cpr.
tainty that there was no real cause for alarm
about either cotton or oil or any other staple pro
duced In Oklahoma The optmis is again smiling
and the pessimist has ceased TO shout.

THE pANAMA-PAc1FIC BUILDING FUND

The information that the legislature turned
down the bill to appropriate $4,000 for the okla
homa building at the Panama Pacific exposition
has gone out over the state 1t is also known that
the subject may he reconsidcrcd All over Okla
homa it is being said that the appropriation should
be made and that it should be much larger
Governor Williams has announced that he will
recommend an appropriation for the erection Of an
Oklahoma building at the Pan-Americau eXpos-
tion at San Francisco, says the Muskogcc Times
Democrat 1T is said that the governor proposes
that the state spend $1,000 for this purpose
awe thoroughly approve of the project, but
believe that the interests of the state demand a
larger appropriation. This sum is not enough to
erect the sort of building the state is entitled to.
Oklahoma has had too much bad advertising and
TOO little good advertising This is an opportunity
to get some good advertising and the state ought
TO meet the situation generously
II is not too late yet to erect building on the
site set aside for Oklahoma II can be done if the
appropriation is made at once Most assuredly the
people of the state do not want to be represented
there by bare spot which would he record Of
failure that would give the state black eve.
This will be the case if no appropriation is
made, unless Citizen Fred Sutton builds the house
as he still says he will do. Among some of the
senator's and representatives it is being said to.
day that the state should at once appropriate S25
600 for the building, its maintenance and proper
exhibit The sum should not be less than $4,000
these men are saying, and it will be the best in
vestment the state ever made
Most assuredly the people Of the state want
Oklahoma represented at the big exposition. They
admire Citizen Fred Sutton for his determination
but il would still he a disgrace for the state to
allow one of It's enterprsing citizens to build its
house while the legislature and others sat idly by
taking no interest in it.
Three rousing cheers for Fred Sutton, who
tried to hide behind his wife in doing this good
deed hut still the proposition is right up to the
