OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 1S.-Few
changes In present laws. no new con-
structive legislation and appropria- =
tions cut short as possible will be fea-
lures of Governor Williams message
to the legislature this winter accord
ing to u statement by him today.

Will also insist that the legislature ad-
journ in sixty days. The governor
would favor an appropriation OF $780,
900 to help establish state hospital.
In this connection oklahoma city
would probably offer as gift site
for the institution.
The governor will probably recon-
mend an Appropriation aggregating
half a million dollars to comrletc the
capitol building. In the construction
of the terrace around the building In
mates Of the penitentidry may be used.
This the governor SAYS can be done
and not conflict with the laws relative
To employment of convict labor No
constitutional amendments will he

will be no abolishment Of capital pun

The governor would be satisfied If the
legisln ture passed a law eliminating
lynching. Anything that will assist in
roGd building in the state will find ia
vor with him.
It is understood that the bankers
over the state vii ask repeal of usury
laws enacted last winter. They have
not made any request OF the governor
on this matter yet. The governor is
of the belief that the usury laws
ST ould be made to apply with equal
force to the national and state banks,
and that if the present law does not 1t
should be made to do So
The governor is in favor of pri-
mary law that would show the nom

may be done will probably he recon-
rended by him should any request
come for changing the Urinary law.
Otherwise there will not be much

SCHOOL CHILDREN
TAKE CITY CENSUS
Blackwell Finds That It's
Population Has Doubled
Since Oil Strike.

Special TO The World
BLACkWE Okla, Nov. IS. -
I he census of the city of Blackwell
was taken in less than one hour re
Gently and the number of people in
the city accurately obtained in that
time. The census showed that there
is something over seven thousand
people in this city at the present time.
and it was taken by high school stu
dents organized by Supt. A. j. Lovett
into districts 'or the occasion.
This city has been making n rapid
growth of the past six months be-
cause of the location OF several in
dustries here and the play" from
the oil field northeast of here. There
was much speculation as to the exact
number of people who had come
here since the industrial opening and
Just how much of growth the city
had made.
Superintendent Lovett then con-
ceived the idea of having the school
students go over the city, and to do
that the town was divided into about
one hundred districts. Two pupils
were assigned to each of the districts,
and at special meeting all were in
structed on what they should do in
their district when the time came.
The pupils were to make no record
=
but were to ascertain from each house
in their district how many people
were living there as permanent resi-
dents and if they had moved to the
city in the past six months. They all
began work at a specified time and
an hour later all reported to the su-
perintendent in his office.
The census showed that of the
seven thousand people in the city who
were here to make their permanent
home more thtn $500 had come here
during the past six months. The 1910
census of blackwell showed the popu-
lation to be 3,240, and 1t is not prob
able that there was any noticeable
change in the population until the
past year, when the industrial oppor-
portunities from the gas and oil
| fields began to show up.
Aside from the organization OF the
city into districts, which took full
day the census taken of the city did
not require more than one hour. and
! il is planned TO repeat It probably
once every month. for in that way
an accurate knowledge of the growth
| OF the city can he obtained. The
same district organization will be re
! tanned and in that way the location of
the greatest amount of growth in a
! part of the city can also be recorded
