In this re-adjustment period cap-
ital and labor must proceed with cau-
tion. If necessary the government
.should step in and see that both get
a square deal. One can't get along
without the other.—Quinton Times.
We have a sneaking suspicion that
if the government had kept out of the
matter a little more during the late
war, perhaps there wouldn't be quite
so many acute situations as there are
now and capital and labor might be
able to get together a little bit better-
on their own account. Anyhow, that's
the only getting-together that is
worth while. Made-to-order -agree-
ments, with the government as the
god-mother, nearly always result in
one or the other of the contracting
parties being eternally threatening
to "go home to mother".

A Weather Resort.
An exchange further immortalizes
Missouri weather as follows:
Some years ago a party of prospec-
tors were looking for minerals in the
Ozark Mountains of Southeastern Mis-
souri. It was during the month of
Feburary, and the prospectors encoun-
tered a period of very bad weather,
varying from rain to snow and sleet
and back again to rain. One day, when
discussing the weather in the presence
of L'ncle Bill Hunter, a native Ozark-
ian, one of the party inquired if the
weather would not change soon.
"Oh, yes, hit'il change, all right."
and other matters necessary for
judgment in Uie case should be lum
ished the senate. As a substitute,
Charles E. McPherren of Durant
lodged a motion to consider the, bill
item by item. His motion carried by
twenty-one ayes against seventeen
noas, the majority of republicans vot
ina against the consideration of the
bill. Those voting "no" were Senators
Brown, Clark, Cornett, Fleming, Frye
Glasser, Golobbie, Harvey, Hill, Hor
ner Ingraham Leedy, Lynch, Sherman,
Wallace, Wells and E. E. Woods.
When the consideration of the first
Item of the bill, which provides $1,000
in the department of Confederate pen
replied Uncle Bill. "AW the gosh-cfum-1 sions, was opened, Fleming moved
ed weather in the L nited States comes 1 that the matter be deferred until proof
eie to change. ^ concerning it was made. Davidson of
fered to give the evidence, but Flem-
ing pushed his nioUon and Ihe senate
backed him up while Davidson srnil
ingly waited to submit data on the
matter.
The senate adjourned before a mo-
tion to approve the item was acted
upon.
Tire third item in the bill asks $20,-
000 to cover deficiency certificates in
the highway department.
No evidence of illegal lobbying in-
eonnection with the vote on the chiro-
practic bill in the house of representa-
tives last week was found by the com-
mittee report presented in the house
late Monday afternoon The bill hav-
ing been recommended for passage by
the house in committee of the whoTe,
's on the calendar for third reading
and final passage. House members
said probably it would be voted on
Tuesday and passed. The senate al-
ready has passed the bill in its pres-
ent form.
Charges were made in the house
while the bill was being considered
that money had been offered members
to vote in favor of the bill. Roy V.

Our Fashion Note
Our fashion expert in Noo York I
informs usthat the latest female bri-

discussion among the ultra "just so"

ness.
When They Repiember.
The esteemed Stonewall News ob-
serves that "a lot of people will not
know who their representatives Sn
Congress are until the spring garden
seeds begin to arrive". To which we .
are prone to add that when these iHarp of Fairview, Major county, re-
seeds grow up and the "cabbage seed" j Publican floor leader, and E. G. Sharp

ficient tradesmen, such as 110 school

The bill is one of a very small num-
ber in this legislature that proposes
to establish new state-institutions
Passage of the emergency appro-
priation of *35,000 for the slate school
lor the blind at Muskogee and of the
hill increasing district and superior
court judges' salaries from IS,000 to
$4,000 a year by the house ol repre-
sentatives Tuesday made the day
particularly successful for W. E. Dis-
ney of Muskogee, one of the authors of
both bills and an active fighter against
the opposition both measures received
in Ihe house.
In committee of the whole. W. E.
Disney of Muskogee presiding, the
house Thursday recommended that
five bills nhould pass and thai I wo
should nol pass, as follows:
The house adopted resolution No. IS.
introduced Wednesday by C. L. Tylee
ol Okmulgee, asking Governor Rob-
ertson to submit a budget bill to the
legislature as provided b> the budget
law.
New resolutions were adopted, pro-
viding for investigation of oil pipe
line companies and giving power to
summon witnesses to the special cora- |
mittee investigating lobbying in con-
nection wiih the chiropractic hill ,
Toward the end of the session bills ,
were introduced by Senators Harry
0. Glasser of Enid, I". P. Hill of McAl-
ester and S. Morton Rutherford of
Muskogee, seeking Ihe abolishment of
the state schools at Claremore, Ton-
kawa. "Miami, Wilburton, Warner,
1.awton and Tishomingo. |
Two bills were withdrawn by their
authors: No. 160, by Matthews, beins?
the old chiropractic act passed by the
sixth legislature and repealed by ref
erendum vote, and No. 41, by Salter.
Davison and I'ratt, being ident'f.-i
with Senate Bill No. 35, dealing with
chiropractors. '
The house voted unanirior.sly to ac-
cept the invitation extended by the
Chamber of Commerce of Oklahoma
City, through Governor Robertson, to
a ball in honor of the legislature to be
be on February 8.
Speaker Schwabe signed two bills:
No. 75, increasing the salaries of dis-
trict and superior court judges and
No. 94, relating to compensation oi | *
county commissioners for supe-vlsjon
of road and bridge work in .eruiin
counties.
From Governor Robertson was re-
ceived financial daia on the state bud-
get in answer to the request made iu
esolution No. 16.
Governor Robertson submitted a list j
deficiencies created by his consent
since the special session of the legisla-
ture in 1! 20, in answer to the request !
made upon him by house resolution
Monday.
But the senate voied the Glasser
amendment down by a vote ol 25 to
18 and then approved section 17
which contains the' appropriation
clause.
Report of the special eomuiittee ap-
pointed to investigate the state board
ol control of eleemosynary institutions
was read, dealing almost entirely with
the proposed removal of the state in-
dustrial school for girls from Okla-
homa City to Tecumseh, and the house
irected that the report be printed be-
fore action should be taken on it.
One of the American Legion bills
hich provides for the leasing of ihe
tuberculosis sanitorium at Clinton, for
the use of disabled soldiers was intro-
duced by Mrs. l.amar Ixjoney, in the
senate.
The upper house also passed a bill
by Charles E. McPherren and nine
others which makes a supplementary
appropriation ol *185.000 to promote
and improve rural schools.
The house re-submitted to commit-
tee bill No. 9, permitting municipal or
ganizations to grant leases of land
for oil and gas development.
The senate passed the farm prod-
ucts warehouse bill Tiumday. The
measure went through without amend
ment to ihe appropriation clause
Consideration of the soldiers' hos-
pital bills is expected almost with cer
tainty s<xin in both house of represen
tatives and senate. The emergency
relief measure, providing lor leasing
the tuberculosis sanatorium at Clinton
to the federal government for a sol-
diers' hospital, is expected to be pass-
ed almost unanimously. A technical
fault in the bill's tttle, as presented la
the house last week, led to reooasM-
iratlon of the vote taken on it, and
ha house will not take the matter ay
