CLERK OF SUPREME
COURT MAY REQUIRE
CASH DEPOSIT
TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE
ViTHOUT AUTHORITY
Clerk May Fir Schedule That
Would Give Him Reas-
onable Compensation
The Supreme court met In regular
session this rooming 'with Justice
Dunn presiding in the absence ot
Chief Justice M. J. Kane and with Jus-
tices Turner Williams anrl Hayes
present.
Three opinions were rendered two
by Justice Turner and one by Justice
Dunn.
Justice Dunn in the cause of J. A.
Dohart vs. Marguerite Anderson holds
thsit there is no 'Statute In effect pro-
viding for bond solely for costs of ap-
pealing or filing a case In the Supreme
coutt and the fee schedule provided
under the session laws of 1897 Terri-
tory of Okla. is not applicable to the
fees to be charged by the clerk of the
Supreme court declaring that the ter-
ritorial legislature had no power to
legislate upon the subject. The court
holds there is no statute or law gov-
erning Bhtf fees of the clerk of the
Supremo court and that the clerk
could require at torneys to pay as costs
in that court '. schedule which would
le a reasonable .compensation for his
services.
The decision is upon controversy
'which. arme between" J. O'Neil coun-
sel for plaintiff In error and Court
t'lwrk Campbell the latter requiring
ONeill to pay $10 in filing a case to
cover costs. O'Neil contended that
uxider the statute of 1897 that he
could give a supersedeas bond for
costs and not be required .to make a
cash deposit.
Justice Williams dissents from the
decision :
Syllabus of the Opinion
1. Th-3 sections of the act ot the
legislature of Oklahoma cont.alr.ed in
chapter 15 laws of 1897 p. lfio relat-
ing; to the fees of the clerk of the
supremo court and the payment there
of are void. (Following Fi ts etc. vs.
Logan comty 3 Okla. 719 and Unit-
ed States vs. MacMMan 185 U. S.
504.)
2. '.'It if a proper rule of construc-
tion that the entire act or instrument
is to be examined with a view of
arriving at the true intention of each
jtavt and that 'effect is to be given
if possible .to the whole Instrument
p.nd to every section and clause.
Courts favor a construction which
will render every word operative
ira her than one which makes some
words Id'o and nugatory.
3. The term "fees" and "costs" are
often used Interchangeably as having
the same application; but accurately
speaking the term "fees" is applica-
ble to the items chargeable by law
between the officer and the party
vhom he -serves while the term
"costs" has reference to :he expen-
ds of litigation as between litigants.
i. Section 13 of the organic act
and chapter lfi title Judiciary of the
Revised Statutes of the United States
relating to the fees and compensation
of the clerk of the supreme court ot
the Terri ory o Oklahoma are incon-
sistent with. and repugnant to the
schedule of the - constitution as "wH
as locally iilipplieable hence they
were not extended to nor did' they
remain in force in the state.
5. When the compensation of an
officer i3 not fixed by law at the time
he renders a service but it clearly
appears that K wai the intention ot
the lnw-makers that he should re-
ceive a -reasonable compensation to be
fixed by law until It is so fixed he is
entitled to a reasonable compensation
to be determined by the proper tribu-
nal.': .' . i .. "
ti. A party requiring the service of
:he clerk ot the supreme wort may
lawfully be required to "Wake
meat therefor a: the time the request
for the t ryica i$ made .and the clerk
may lawfully decline to render the
eervtce until 'reasonable compensation
J tendered therefor.

iPlTSIGIUS MUST FILE
That all physicians and surgeons
who have failed to file their registra-
tion certificate with the county clerk
are guilty of a misdemeanor is the
glut of an opinion rendered today by
Attorney General Charles West to J.
M. Raker of Enid secretary of the
state board of medical examiners.
Tliie attorney general also holds that
physicians who .have neglected or
tailed to re-register with the exam-
ining board and receive a certificate
since statehood and are practicing
are also guilty of a misdemeanor.
The penalty for violation is a fine of
from $100 to $500 and a Jail sentence
of from faO t0 10O days.

dim
court enjoins judge
(By Associated Press)
Jefferson City Mo. June 8. The
state supreme court today issued a
writ of prohibition against Judge
George Williams of the St. Louis
circuit count forbidding him from
proceeding with the injunction suit
by which Attorney Jones of that city
sougfcit to prevent certain railroads
from putting a three cent passenger
fare into effect. The decision came
on a petition filed by several of the
defendant roads.
There now remain but two cases
pending in the litigation between the
state and tlhe railroads. The first is
the state's appeal from Judge Mc-
pherson's . decision declaring the
rates to be confiscatory. The other
is the suit of Attorney General
Major to oust the companies from
the state for alleged violation of the
anti-true laws.
"Say for me . and the Arkansas
Lumber Co. that the attack made in
the morning edition of the Sunday
-paper is without foundation; is so
m-holly and totally false I have not
sufficient confidence in myself to go
down there and ask why our lumber
Industry was so causelessly and wan-
tonly assailed widhout investigation"
said Manager Lon Beland of the Ar-
kansas Lumber eomiKiny today.
"Furthermore" continued Mr. Be-
land "the lumber interests of this
city have been carrying to the limit
whomsoever was disposed to improve
or build.
"Not only do we bid against eaoh
ether but so anxious have all of us
been to see the capital city flourish
and build we have not infrequently
overreached the bounds of good bus-
iness in our bidding.
"The story of some one trying to
get word to any of the lumber in-
terests' management must have been
(as puerile ami unwitting as the at-
tack itself there has never been a
time when active intelligent use of
the telephone would not have reach-
ed same one In. an authoritative po-
sition. "The lumber concerns of Gullhde
are like other institutions for the re-
tail trade do the best possible; and
no .other city ot this state can show
a better anile of prices. If some
ot'hpr firm washes to enter it he busi-
ness well and good not that we
would be glad of it hut because such
is the rigliit of commerce and is so
recognized throughout the business
world. It can nat profit by arous-
ing suspicion among the purchasers
nor will it long profit by unwarrant-
ed assaults upon its older competit-
ors. "Viewed from all standpoints the
attack was so unwarranted malici-
ous false and ihurtful m honest
motive can be accredited. I am cer-
tain that it was not due to any actual
evil or brought about by a patron of
any concern of this city. I am
equally positive it would not be fath-
ered by any citizen of repute from
laig own personal experience.
"I do insist on fair treatment for
our people. I am willing to con-
tribute my portion for whatever will
advance this city to its proper
sphere; but while so doing it oc-
curs to me as I think it will to all
of fair intent that It iwould be more
progressive and show more wisdom
to expend our energies toward build-
ing up our industries end not a farth-
ing towards tearing down the great-
est or smallest.
"If there tias been a single case of
hlRhbinding or conspiracy it is ttie
duty of those who htve the rewhvteat
behind generalities
"In making this fcssertkm lay .con-
cern goes sti!! furtner snS invites

ardly -and ?s eelf-t-vldent of eherlor
