barren land system law for the second
legislature to adopt." " " '
Tbe address of Senator Johnson was
aimed mostly against the lobbyists
desiring them eliminated entirely be-
fore committees. "'
Chief Justice Bob Williams admin-
istered the oaths to the senators and
Associate Justice Sam Hayes to the
representatives. The iron-clad oath
provided by the state constition was

dustrial departments of the Weather-
ford Normal school and presented to-
day. Speaker Murray notified the

mittee meeting. '

al lobyists from the floor of the house

There is some significance attached
to the organization ef a bar association
inasmuch as it brings the legal profe&-
t6n in close? touch with each other
and is bound to better the conditions
Of legal fraternity. It bids fair to
make one of the strongest organiza-
tions of it's kind in the New State.

Okmulgee Ok. Dec. 3-(Special)
The Creeks want their equalization
money amounting to about 14000000
from Uncle Sam.
Tomorrow in pursuance to a call
joined in by many of the most prom
inent members of the Creek tribe
the Creeks will assemble at the coun
cil house and formulate a demand
upon the government for the payment
of the money yet due the Nation.
The Secretary of Interior has noti
fied the Creeks that the department
has no authority to pay over the fuud
until everything has been wound up
but the Nation feels that since the
completion of the rolls and the sej
lection of allotments that the amount
due the several members of the tribe
can easily be ascertained.

Guthrie Okla. Dec. 2 Governor
Haskell has received hundreds of let
ters from citizens and bankers thru
out the State indorsing his proposed
depositors' guaranty fund bill where
by depositors in banks would be pro
tected from loss by a levy of 1 percent
on the deposit of all state banks and
of such national banks as might wish
to subscribe to this levy.
The fund would be in the keeping of
a state banking board. The state
nowever would oe liable in no way
for the payment .flosses to depositors.
uovernor iiasKe;i ieeis mac cms is t e
most important feature of hl3 message
to the legislature and is seeking ad-
vice and suggestions from men
througout the stato as to what such a
legislative bill should contain.
The members of the legislature
almost without exception approve
the plan and the fact that the Demo
cratic majority has great admiration
for Governor Haskell gives reasonable
assurance that his proposal will be
enacted in law.
The Odd Fellows last night elected
the following officers: Noble Grand
