the present time. The field OF op-
erations 10 over all that can be con-
Itcmplated Nor do the apprOpri-
ations appear TO be abnormal. The
state hs. about ten times more In
stitutlons than 1t has any need Tor.
Consequently there is always need
for appropriations and there viii be
political dissension as to making
/ them.
One zig Dlvussion.
No one can misundcrstand the
/ fact that the present number OF
state institutions will require n large
| outlay ot money. one half OF them
Iare barnaclcs They never had ex-
/ cuse for existence and fC- hat rea
son will never he popular. The
world has carried the story that
these matters will have to be recti-
fled and they will.
Oklahoma liz not so rich I'm min
erals as 10 require two schools oil
mines. That is only an illustration
But II costs the folks not little "a
/ maintain them--it is nOn-partisan
but likewise important.
There are number OF counties
whore there are no high schools
. Perhaps every county could AFFORD
i's own hish school system. Some
folks think so, anyhow and they arc
entitled 70 think. oklahoma has
80 many state institutions that the
loss OF n half dozen would not hurt
Perhaps It would help and that is
the big question before the legis'
lators at this particular moment
Telling Doctor Lewis About II.
Or. A. II. Lewis. head Of the state
department ~ health is not salts
fled with a story In The World about
the sick hoes II appears that story
which appeared on February 70 stat
ed that the sick bee appropriation
concerned his department, whereas
N should have been listed with tht
state board OF agriculture. The bees
were sick and II is well that the
board OF agriculture should cure
them. Tho department OF health
does carry the democratic pres,
bureau department and against Il
there Ia and should be no word oi
criticism. However, the folks dc
not expect a department to carry
state press report of criticism or ap.
proval. II Is just an ordinary bao
wheel TO a wagon and should b'
stopped.
Potluck has to be expected by al
| OF us who are being exarrined these
days Doctor Lcwis Is the head ot
n state department and u is very
probable that ne will he investlgat
cd. Tho World does not hold any
thing against him. All fair news
papers hope that nothing will b'
found against anyone connected witt
state affairs
Someone Bound to Suffer.
Very certainly no one desires tha
anything wrong will happen to AM
person. The World has very studi
ousy avoided seeking TO lay 4
charge against any state official
What the investigating committee
may do is different. No newspaper
controls that committee. II work.
by Itself. for itself and to Itself w
know the membership bu: what II II
doing ia for itself to disclose. NJ
one doubts that there are going K
be some very serious charges pre-
ferred against those who have beer
conducting affairs Of state.
II is also true that until that com.
mittee gets through no one is TO be
too wise as TO what may happen IN
the legislature. There is no con-
troll over Il except through that
committee. II anyone knows how tC
> control It, he knows more than The
World correspondent who has River
J some time to the consideration OF
those questions.
