Slaty-Seven Bill Signed
With the fourth regular session of
the legislature passed Into history 119
bills have been sent to the governor
alxty-seven have been approved two
have become lawa because of the ne-
glect of the governor to take action
on them within the prescribed time
and four have been vetoed A half
dozen resolution which did not re-
quire the algnature of the chief etecu-
tlve of tho state have been formally
filed In the office of the secretary of
state This numerically sum up the
work of the legislature which has ad-
journed and which will Immediately h
reconvened In extraordinary lesaton
Of the sixty-seven bill approvod
fourteen were algned the last day In-
cluding the measur abolishing the
office of state printer and the resolu-
tion acoeptlng Oklahoma Ctty’a gift
for the state capital Among those
which are now laws are the new bank-
ing law and the measure providing
that the mayor in towns of 1200 popu-
lation and less be ex officio police
Judge abolishing that office and allow-
ing the city councils to consolidate
other office where possible
All of the bills vetoed caused a con-
certed effort on the part of the law-
makers to override the opposition of
the governor but without effect The
railroad hospital measure requiring
railroads oprating In the state to build
hospitals In Oklahoma from the fund
derived from a per capita assessment
on the employes was the first to meet
with disapproval The governor ve-
toed the plan on the ground that the
railroad men themaelves were opposed
to the bill and that It was to all In-
tents and purposes the same aa the
one he vetoed two years ago
Stats Enforcement Officer
The bill abolishing the office of atate
enforcement officer was the next to
fall under the governor’s blacklist In
this case he held that although the
prohibitory law could not be success-
fully carried on by one enforcement
officer that the service rendered was
commensurate with the undertaking
before him and that the newly passed
Webb law made It possible for him to
exert a wider influence for enforce-
ment Next came the proposition to reduce
the salary of the warden of the pen!
teutlary at McAlester and place hi
appointment lu the hands of a board
composed of the governor the attor-
ney general and the president of the
board of agriculture The reaaona as-
signed for disapproving this measure
were that If not the Intent of the bill
Its accepted meaniug would be to dis-
credit the governor and declare that
be was Incapable of making appoint-
ments Because also the warden of
the reformatory at Granite was not
included it might be Inferred that
the bill was a personal attack on one
of the governor’s appointees
The last bill to get the official ax
was the Vandeventer JU-cent railroad
(are bill In explaining his veto on
this question Governor Cruce declared
bis allegiance to the Oklahoma consti-
tution providing for a 2-cent railroad
fare lie held as the question was
now In the hands of the supreme
court for adjudication that such
a measure aa the Vandeventer bill
would be In the nature of a compro-
mise on the part f the state
The two bills which became laws
without the signature of the governor
were the measure providing for the
expenses of delegates to the farmers’
Institute at Stillwater and the bill re-
quiring railroads to pay their employes
twice a month
The measure making pipe lines com-
mon carriers will not be aoted upon
until after the governor baa made an
Investigation of the proposition For
this purpose he has called for a bear-
ing on the plan for Tuesday morning
March 25

"Bro’er Joues does you think d
devil Is a black man or a white man?’
“I dunno an’ all I does know Is— do
biggest race problem Is how ter keep
ten yards ahead of him!"
Perfectly Clear
1 wonder why so many trains are
late?’’ said young Mrs Torklns as she
watched the man chalk up the figures
on the blackboard
"Well" replied her husband "for
one thing traffic Is much heavier than
It used to be”
"Of course! And the heavier a load
is the harder work a locomotive has
to pull It!"
