After consultation with the leading

tendent E. D. Cameron is preparing a
strong effort is to be made at the next I revised course of study for the public
session of congress to get congress to schools of tin- state, without regard to
make an appropriation to pay the tax
es on the lands of Choctaw and Chick-

under the Atoka agreement, but nav.
so far been unsuccessful in their ef-

that the government basing guaran

stand behind that agreement, even to
the extent of paying the taxes itself
If it is that the laws of the state do
not recognize the exemption.

As a result of the Philllpic launched
by Councilman Dunham against the
proposed plan of the Street railway com-
pany to lay its tracks on Nineteenth
Hireet for the Shartel boulevard exten-
sion at the meeting of the city council
Thursday night, after a conference with
a committee appointed by the Mayor the
offI<■ ials of the street railway compun
have agreed to lay the line on Eigh-
teenth street, the original plan of Nin-
teenth street being abandoned.
Dunham representing property owners
on Nineteenth street stated that litiga-
tion would he resorted to in order to
keep the company's tracks off the street,
now that paving was completed. Hal
the company stated Its'intention of using
the street before the paving was done,
the protest would have been very faint.
As it is the street is but 30 feet wide
and a car track, say the protestants,
would spoil the street.
Eighteenth street will be forty-five
feet wide and a double track is planned
for the centre of the highway. The pro-
posed extension runs from Warner ave-
nue to the east side of the addition
known as Shartel boulevard and will be
extended into the addition as fast as t
building up of the addition demands t
car service.

LEVY WILL BE CONTESTED
Claim Made That Not Sufficient
Votes Were Cast '
The levy of seven mills for schools
was certified to the county clerk yes
terday by the board of education of
Guthrie. It is expected that a contest
against the levy will be filed, based on
tbe election not being valid from lack ot
sufficient votes being cast. Defense witl
take the peculiar issue of denying Un-
law under which the levy was declared
passed and attacking the act of the leg
lalature on the ground of being in con
flict with the constitution.

That it will be Impossible to place tho
i ames of candidates for superior judge
upon the general election ballot this
fall where they were not nominated in
the primary election is the holding ot
Attorm-v General Charles J. West in an
opinion to l>an Euett, recently appoint-
ed superior judge of Garfield county
by Governor Haskell.
Th«- law requires that the name of '
candidates in order to be voted upon at
the general election must be placed be-
for the state election bgard and not less
t an H0 days before the primary election.
In the case of Garfield county the fed-
eral census was not announced giving
tho population of that county until July
13 or too late to Kive a candidate for
superior judge, upon the showing of
the census that tbe county was entitled
to a superior court an opportunity to
pet on the primary ballot. The attor-
ney Kcneral held that Iluett's appoint-
ment will hold at least until the second
Monday in January 1911 when the pres-
ent governor retires, and that there 1
no provision of law whereby his success-
or can be elected until 1914 but tho
opinion refuses t<> pass upon the ques-
tion of whet Iter Huett will hold over un-
til that time.
There are several other counties in tho
stat.- similarly sultuated where no su-
I erlor judge can be elected this fall
although the county is entitled to a su- |
perior court and where the governor ,
has appointed or will appoint such '
a judge.
