Other Commissioners Vote to
Meet Expenses; Violating
Law, Hughes Claims
By CLARK C. HUDSON
World', Capital Corre.ponil.nt,
OKLAHOMA CITY. July 21
Many claims In the corporation
commission are being disapproved
by Commissioner E. It. Hughes, on
me ground mat tnev are not drawn
against tho proper fund and are be
ing paid out of money appropriated
for other purposes. However, de
spite th.o protest of Hughes, the
claims are being approved by the
other two commissioners and la!d
by the state auditor.
Caused Ono Indictment.
Hughes bases his protest upon
the ground that money appro
priated by the legislature for sne-
clflo purpose can not lawfully bo di
verted to other uses. He cites the
fact that the house of representatives
orougnt an indictment against In
surance Commissioner A. L. Welch
on this ground during tho adminis
tration or Governor qruce, .and that
the budget law, passed since that
time, has reinforced the law to the
extent of making tho Juggling of
funds in a department clearly a cul
pable offense. The budEet Hw re
quires all appropriations to bo clas
sified, and all bills Introduced in
either house must be Itemized In ac
cordance with the imdsct classifi
cations.
"I do not believe that the corpora-
tion commission or any other depart
ment or tho slate has a lawful right
to Juggle with the funds which have
been appropriated for Its use," says
Hughes. "The legislature, In ac
cordance with the law, has made ap
propriations for caoh specific pur
pesr, and whenever ths fund so ap
propriated are traded around by tho
head of the department It is to my
mind a palpable violation of the
spirit and intent of the law and a
flouting of the legislative will, I
bellevo that such actions are In plain
defiance of the authority of the state
and that they constitute sufficient
grounds for impeachment. The laws
which require appropriations to be
classified were passed to prevent
waste of the public, funds. Prior to
their passage appropriations wore
made in lump sums, and department
heads were permitted to divide their
allowance as they saw fit. If that
were not an evil tho legislature
would not have sought to remedy
the conditions which were brought
about.
House Authority Nullified,
"It the department heads are to
continue as they did before the re
strictive laws wero placed upon
them, and switch their funds
around as they please, then the au
thority of the legislature Is set aside
and made a mockery, Since I have
become familiar with the law, I
have refused to be a party to this
violation of the law, and I shall
continue to disapprove any claims
which are made out against funds
not appropriated for the purpose
or appropriated for other purposes.
Campbell Russell and At Walkor
can overrule ran on this point, and
they can get these illegal claims
through; but they will have to be
responsible to tho next legislature
for their actions,"
An examination of the June pay
roll In the corporation commission
shows the following claims disap
proved by Hughes:
M. C. Nlhart, $125; charged to
engineering division, bureau of com
mon carriers. Actually Is employed
as stenographer to Chairman Camp
