Governor Williams Indicates
He'll Let En- Die by Cut
ting Off Revenues.
APPROPRIATIONS NOW WAIT
If Not Acted Upon Within Is
Days After Legislature
Quits, Perish.

Special 10 Tho World
OKLAHOMA CITY, March Ct
There Is a strong probability that If
Governor Williams follows suEges-
tions of 80 per cent of the replies he
Is getting relative to appropriations
for secondary educational schools of
the state that thero will be nothing
left but the state university and tho
a. y NJ college saltwater. The
possibility OF this became very strong
this evening
While the governor was not ready
this evening to make a definite state
ment it Is believed that appropria-
| tons for all the secondary normal
schools and the District agricultural
schools may be eliminated. However,
they may not all be cut off now. but
1t is almost settled that some will be
abolished.
Left Ia People; Answered.
For the past several days the gov
ernor has been receiving replies TO an
Inquiry he sent out Immediately after
the legislature adjourned. There were
appropriations made for all the
schools. Before the session he vetoed
the appropriation for the Tonkawa
schools, but afterwards allowed re
duccd appropriation to 20 thru, pre-
terring to leave the matter in the
hands OF the tax payers, whom he
proceeded to ask about IT,
At first IL was thot the elimination
process would take in only the
.Tonkawa preparatory school. the
.Claremore school. the school OF
mines at Wilburton and one or two
of tho district agricultural schools,
but correspondents I'm reply to the
governors query recommend that
nearly all of them should be main
tained at further expense. as they
were not interfering in any way with
the success of the two main institu-
tions of the state, the state uniyer-
sity and the A. ~ NJ college.
To Decide Next Week.
Governor Williams will make up
his mind some time next week what
he will do in the matter Fifteen
days from the time the legislature
adjourned is the limit in which he
has to approve or disapprove the APP
propriatfons. II he does not act in
th>t time all die. He may disapprove
any single item In the list. He in
tends actiaS in the matter, however
before II is too late.
Abolishment OF these secondary
schools by cutting the appropriations
viii be the most effective way of get
ting rid of them, and also the most
drastic move that will have been
taken In this way since statehood. The
district AGRICULTURAL schools were crc-
ated more for political purposes than
anything else, althC it Is claimed that
they have In a way dcne good
Expect Some Opposition.
There will probably he stronE or
position from the institutional towns
agairst tho cutting of appropriations
that would mean the closing up Of the
school so far rs the state support is
concerned Especially may this como
from the agricultural schools, but the
governor has said that IL am here to
act for the best interests OF the state
and to do 1t fearlesslE and without
the hope Of reward or the fear Of
punishment. 1t is 1p to he taxpayers.
