Proposal Added to Tax Package By Ed Montgomery Another element was added to the legislative version of a state budget package Friday, but Gov. George Nigh declined to say whether he will support it. House Speaker Dan Draper, D-Stillwater.

pointed to a proposal for a four-year, $120 million capital improvements program to start next year. Funds for the improvements program, which Draper said would be spent in $30 million annual increments, would be set aside from the state surplus in a fund controlled by legislative committee. All state agencies would be eligible to receive funds under the plan, although state legislators said the measure is pri- marily aimed at aiding higher education. The Legislature is expected to approve the package Monday at an unusual joint House-Senate caucus. Nigh declined to comment on the proposal until after the caucus takes action.

The package wrapped up by legislative leaders features a $35 million cut in state income taxes. Draper said Senate President Pro Tern Gene Howard, D-Tulsa, and other legislative leaders agree the package must be approved or rejected as a unit. Under the proposal, the Legislature for four years would appropriate $30 million annually in surplus from the previous fiscal year. The 1980 Legislature would ap- propriate this year's surplus, which is expected to accumulate from about June 1 to the end of the fiscal year on June 30. The $35 million tax cut.

to be funded by a five-cent boost in the cigarette tax, $10.6 million from the state reserve fund and $4.4 million from excess money in several state funds, was revealed Thursday. One effect of the package would be to increase the chances of defeating the Repubioan-sponsored tax cut proposal hich is due to go to a statewide vote this fall. Senate leaders came up with the compromise plan Thursday to break a Nigh- Draper deadlock. Choctaw Nation Adopts Constitution; Vote Tight DURANT The Choctaw Nation has adopted a constitutional form of government scheduled to go into effect hen a new chief and representatives to a tribal council are elected in August. The final vote recorded Friday- showed 1,528 votes in favor of the constitution and 1,226 against.

Assistant Chief Robert Gardner- said the constitution still requires approval of the U.S. secretary of the interior. The close vote reflected an unsuccessful last-minute attempt by those opposed to the election to block the vote. Joe Hicks of Durant headed a group called Concerned Choctaws which charged Chief Hollis Roberts and six supporters drew up the proposed constitution in a McAlester motel room and then attempted to pass off the constitution as the work of the Choctaw people. Hicks said Roberts failed to ognize a duly-elected, general council of the tribe.

Gardner said the protesters were still disgruntled when their candidate was defeated by Roberts in the last election for chief of the tribe. He said the constitutionally established tribal council will be composed of representatives from the IOV 2 counties that comprise the Choctaw Nation and will share governmental decision-making duties with the chief. Had the proposal failed, the chief would have remained the sole ruler of the tribe, Gardner said. A system of checks and balances is established in the constitution to prevent either the chief or the council from having absolute control over tribal affairs, he said. Gardner said the 17,500 members of the Choctaw Nation become the fourth of the Five Civilized Tribes to adopt a constitutional form of government.
