and other Institutions of the state
! which have been authorized 10y law.
! In thiq connection ! call your at
! touttun 90 the fact that many Of the
| dcpart mpnta and state inGiutioua
require emergency deficiency appru-
| priationg in order 10 efficiently up-
crate until June 30 next the end OF

Since the adjournment of tho reg

CURED which viii eau for additional
appropriations for the attorney
generals department. Tho finest "
tho favorable decision by the su-
prcmo court ~ the United states In
| the Red River case, whereby tho
state has established me- ita southern
| boundary the south bank of the Red
river, us fixed hy treaty between
spain and tho United states In 1879.
| Tho fact that Oklahoma was sue
cohsful IN Tho Red river case serves
to emphasize the Importance of suf-
1 ficient appropriations to take caro-
| OF the enormous amount Of work
| that the state viii be- compelled TO
perform IN adjusting tho conditions
| that will necessarily arise, The
| permanent limo between the two
states viii now have TO he dollncatcd
and established and tho claim OF
tho state Ia and to the land re-
covered by tho decision viii have
to be lltigated and this will involve
1 much expense.
| Tho other incident ls tho unfavor-
able decision OF the district court of
Stephcns county In u certain case
wherein a lessee OF school lands
claimed tho miner right In the lani
| to the exclusion Of the state, rms
case. in itself might occasion no
great outlay of money wero It not
for tho fact that "A largo number OF
| school land lcssecH, for tho past 10
years or more. havo been asserting
tho same right to tracts In other
parts OF tho state. and until this de-
cislon can be- appealed and definitely
settled we have every reason to be
lievo that IA larger number of similar
cases will bo instituted, This calls
for prompt and vigorous action on
tho part of tho state through tho Of
flee OF tho attorney general ! pe'
lleVe the attorney general should be
given Il contingent FUND OF not less
than $4,000 each year for the ncN'
biennium for tho purpose or protect
ing the interests or the state IN these
and other important cases that may
larise. therefore submit, FOR your

patriotic consideration.
