DISTRICT COURTS
TO TARE ACTION
Seen As First Step in Pro-
viding Legal Basis for Lift-
ing Military Control.
WILCOX CASE SENT
. BACK FOR HEARING
Oklahoma City Judge Re-
versed in Decision; All Su-
preme Jurists Agreed.
Oklahoma City. An. 31. (ftV-The
first step in providing a legal bask
for lifting military control of tha
Oklahoma City oU field waa taken
today by the state supreme court.
In a far-reaching opinion tho
court held hi tha H. F. Wilcox Oil
and Gas company ease that district
courts have jurisdiction to hold hear-
ings and grant injunctions to pre-
vent violation of oil proretion order
of tba state corporation eommlsstan.
Although military enforcement of
the corporation commission orders
curbing oU production in tba field
was not mentioned In tbo decision
observers said the supreme court
declaration of district court power
lain the foundation for enforcement
of proration by civil authorities.
Previous to today ruling the cor-
poration commission had been so
stripped of enforcement power that
the whole fabrie of proretion waa
hanging on a thread.
Bines June 1813 enforcement has
been carried on by tho state militia
headed by CoL Cicero L Murray
and cousin of tha governor by vir-
tue ofa military proclamation of
Governor Murray.
' Tba derision waa .written by Chief
Justice Fletcher Riley and concurred
in- by -tha right other members of
the suptqme court. -
Deriding tho important question
for the first time the high court
reversed Judge R. F. Hill district
judge in Oklahoma county and re-
manded the Wilcox case to tho
Oklahoma county district court with
Instructions that action ba taken to
conform with the supreme court
holding.
Tbo cue which was launched al-
most a year ago by Attorney Gen.
end J. Berry King at tha direction
of Governor Murrey originated u a
suit for an injunction against tha
Wilcox Oil and Osi company and
others for alleged overproduction at
oil feom properties In tha Oklahoma
City field.
Judge HUl held that tha district
court vu without Jurisdiction and
the ease vu appealed to tha gtato
lunrema court.
Hen k tho gist of tho Tuesdoy
ruling:
The . district court fos jurisdic-
tion in equity of a cult instituted
by the state in its sovereign and
proprietary capacity to enjoin viola-
tions of tha ril proratlon law."
Paul Walker chairman of tho
tats corporation commission wss
asked immediately after he had read
tha opinion of the court if it did
not mean that tha ground work vu
fold far effective enforcement of
proretion without the use of tho
state militia.
That a question for the proper
authorities to discuss when they get
to It. uld Walker.
He admitted however that before
today ruling the corporation com-
mission was virtually helpless with-
out the assistance of bayonet rule.
With the district courts holding
they had no jurisdiction to grant
Injunctions and the lawyers con-
tending that the corporation com-
mission had no jurisdiction to en-
force Its orders the field would have
been practically wide open except for
the pretence of the military" Walker
