Happenings of
the Legislature
House resolution No. 3 was passed
^Tuesday as amended by the soldiers'
pellet committee, and according lo its
provisions, the speaker appointed two
committees to visit state institutions
and see it' it were practicable to con-
cert any of them into hospitals lor
disabled soldiers.
Standing committees reported on
House bills, No. 7. 2T, «4 and 96, rec-
ommending that thoy pass.
Bills Nos. 50 and 56, passed by com-
mittee of the whole on Monday, were
passed by the house and signed by the
Speaker.
Bills introduced on Monday were re-
ferred to committees, with the excep-
tion of Bill No. 109, which whb *itl -
drawn by its author, Ben F. Harrison
of Calvin, who said he wished to re-
vile it.
Sixteen new bills and three joint
resolutions were introduced.
Word was received from Governor
Robertson that he had signed house
'bill #o. 14, the first bill of the ses-
sion to become a law.
Salary warrants for mea'bers and
employes for the 8rst fifteen days of
the session were distributed by the
state auditor.
Bills Nos. 49 and 35. placed on gen-
eral order on the calendar for Tues
day, were not considered by request of
their authors.
The senate convened Tuesday with
T. C. Simpson of Thomas, presilent
pro teni, in the chair. Senate bills No
94 and No. 100 were introduced during
the first hour's session.
Debates over Senate bill No. 6,
which proposes to prohibit any person
firm or corporation from exhibiting
any film or picture of a person of crim-
tnal reputation or general reputed im
moral character and bill No. 29 which
contemplates as supplemental appro
priation of $17,000 for the furnishing
of the Southeastern State Normal I
school at Durant, were the subjects of J
heated debate. Neither measure was j
passed. The former was returned to
the first judiciary committee without
instructions.
The school row which was begun by
S. Morton Rutherford of Muskogee,
Monday afternoon, was continued
Tuesday when he op.posed the supple-
mental appropriation for the normal
school which is short of equipment.
Among measures which were pre-
sented was one by Ross N. Lillard
which makes it mandatory on any pub-
lic service corporation supplying gas
or water to send an agent to the house
of any consumer whose bill Is due and
give him a chance to make good any
delinquency.
Partisan flourishes and parliamen-
tary skirmishes endangered but did
not wreck the passage ol the first bill
to get through both branches of the
legislature this session, when the bill
was being considered in the house of
representatives Monday afternoon.
The bill was house bill No. 14. ap-
propriating $150,000 for salaries and
expenses of the legislature.
Having been passed once in the
house, the bill was amended in the
senate and returned. The amendment
dealt with detail of expenditure ot the
money, providing that the house
should receive $90,000 of it and the
senate $60,000.
Another fencing match between the
parties occurred over the unseating of
T. A. Parkinson, democrat, as mem
ber from Wagoner county, and the
placing in his seat of W. T. Drake,
publican. 1'pon the report of the elec-
tions committee, recommending such
action, there was little objection, be
yond the insistence by democrats that
no suspicion of blame be attached to
Parkinson for the alleged erroneous
count of votes, upon the strength of
which Parkinson had been issued his
certificate of election. Republican
members of the elections committee
agreed to the contention.
After taking the oath, Drake spoke
briefly. Referring lo the contest over
his election.
"An act declaring all institutions ot
merchandise and all persons, organi-
zations, associations and corporations,
trading or carrying on commercial in-
tercourse of any kind whatsoever with
the public, to be public utilities, pre-
scribing a system for licensing same;
creating a fair price commission and
prescribing the powers and duties of
said commission in establishing a max-
imum charge to be made by said pubic
utilities and all'others engaged in pub-
lic commercial intercourse, and pro-
scribing a penalty for violating the
provisions of this act, and declaring
an emergency."
A bill authorizing The employment
«f assessors' deputies ip counties be-
tween 13,500 and 13,600 in population
was introduced in the senate.
An appropriation of $405,6<i0 is ask-
■ed for the erection of some ten new
buildings at the University of Okla-
homa in a bill submitted by W. H.
Woods of Purcell. A supplementary
appropriation for salaries at the uni-
versity is authorized in another bill
submitted by Woods which would see
an appropriation of $257,933 made.
Governor Robertson's recommenda-
tions for operation and maintenance
of state institutions for the two year
period from Juae 30, 1921 to Jape 30,
1823 total approximately $17,500,000,
against requests for SSS.2SS.S12 made
la estimates of need submitted by
while operating expenses were reduc-
ed materially.
Tpe governor's budget was submit-
ted to the legisl-ture Monday after-
noon with a brief message which was
read in each branch.
Increase in salary of district and
superior court judges from JJ.000 to
$5,000 a year was one of the tew ad
vances in governmental cost urged by
the governor in his budget. In the case
of a few institutions the budget is in-
complete. There are no recommenda-
tions as to the tubercular sanator-
ium at Talihina or the school of iulne
at Miami.
Heavy appropriation lor schools is
carried in the bill introduced by Ben
GOVERNOR WANTS STATE
TAX COMMISSION CREATED
Governor Rot>ertson wants the leg-
islature to create a state tax commis-
sion to have charge of the work now
devolving, on the heads of various
state departments, and now known
as the state equalization board.
He thinks such a commission would
have more time and be in better posi-
tion to handle tax ouestions than will
a body composed of state officials
who already have their sundry duties
to look after.
Numerous states, including Arkan-
sas, have such a body.

ing for state athletic commission to

duced in the house by Eli L. Admire
To offset a shortage of tunds
which may occur at the end of the
fiscal year on account of tax levy ex
tensions, and act will be introduced
in the senate, it is expected to pro-
mote and improve rural school condi-
tions, but a supplementary appropria-
tion of $185,000. This bill is proposed
by Charles E. McPherren, Mrs. Lamar
Looney and W. J. Ilolloway.
The state school organization al-
ready has on hand $100,000 with
which it will attempt to tide over the
rural schools who voted the full fif-
teen mill levy this year. This amount
is not adequate U> insure the full
teim for every rural school.

tending the time for paying this

Creation of a state board of par
dons and paroles is provided for by
house bill No. 48, introduced Wednes-
day by J. Horace Simpson, of Man-
gum. The bill specifies that the gov-
ernor shall appoint a board of three
members to serve terms of six years

servation agent of the corporation
commission is to be taken away, if
the bill passes which was introduced
Thursday by Eli L. Admore ot Oilton
The bill provides that the comniissloa
alone shall have power to make the
appointment. As the commission is
constituted, politicians predicted that
its selections might not be in harmony
with Governor Robertson's.
"The commission Is the only judl-|
clal body in the state which must get
the governor's approval before mak-
ing any appointment," said Admire
Thursday. "My amendment to the
statute governing the oil and gas di-

GLANDERS REPORTED
IN OKMULGEE DISTRICT
Two deputies of the state veteri-
nary department have been assigned
to the Okmulgee district where a
number of cases of glanders were
recently found. It was announced
last week by J. A. Whitehurst, presi-
dent of the state board of agriculture.
The two will take all possible pre-
ventative measures and kill all ani-
mals found to be infected.
Special precautions are to be taken
by the veterinarians to keep the in-
fection from spreading to human
beings. Thus far no such infections
have developed.
If there were only some way to
vaccinate would-be criminals with
stuttering germs we could begin to
see our way out of this crime wave.
Think, for instance, what a job it
would be for a stuttering confidence
matt to put over a gold-brick scheme.
Alio, imagine how discouraging it
would be to a stick-up artist if he had
