VINITA, Oct, Pledges of strict economy and turn to.

the fundementals'of; constitution featured the addreJs6a of William H. Murray, Monday, he opened a weeks campaigning hf northeastern Oklahoma. His first talk of the day was a Vinita where approximately 1000 heard his audience farmers, many wearing cockleburrs on their -coAi lapels in leu of campaign buttons! Murray told his hearers he not seeding votes to win. trie tion that he had polled enough in the second primary-to be ed of that. What he now he said Is a majority of 100,000, feeling that such a vote, of confidence would strengthen him with the legislature in January when ne must submit his program to the lawmakers.

Murray remarked that a certain institution was asking fo an propriation of $5,000,000. ly referring to the state university, he said $150,000 was for a swimminghole. "Think of he shouted, when people are starving. In a defect disrussion- of the uni versity problems, Murray said insltutlon would find it had sufficient buildings for Its needs when the standards of scholarship were applied. Too many students are admitted who are not prepared add- i college system needs now being served by institutions of higher learning.

He said these secondary institutions.would oppose this inclination. Several times he took occasion to condemn the emphasas being placed upon football, basketball and baseball. Discussing the deficit the state faces; Murray blamed the excessve appropriations made by the last legislature upon the governor, the speaker of the house and the re- ublican-democratic coalition which controled the lower chamber Because of the coalition he said the democratic party could not be blam ed for holding down the apprpria- tions. He said many troubles of the state could be traced to the bloc system in recent legislatures, "the farm bloc the institutional bloc and the public utilities bloc' By the time these blocs were through trading he said the farm bloc got the peelings, the utilities the apple and the people the seed. Murray said he would refuse trade with the members of the legis lature but wo aid sbmit his program and if it was not approved ne would then carry his proposals to a vote of the people.

No senate clique will dominate his appointments he said. All that he asked of the utilities he continued was for them to get out of the merchandising business, pay their just burden of taxes and charge a fair rate for their services. It is highway robbery, he said for a utility to make a profit as high as 48 per cent on it investment. Murray devoted much of his talk to his gross income tax plan, ex- planing how it would be applied to certain retail merchants, wholesale merchants and farmers under his plan possibly one dollar on each hundred dollars received. He would exempt each single per son $500; allow an exemption of $500 if a man is married and an additional $500 for each child.

More interest was manifested in his discussion of this plank than in anything else and the most applause which greeted the Introductory speech of Carey Caldwell, Vinita lawyer came when he said that Murray intended to equalize the tax burden. Mr. Otho Green and Mr. W. E.
