OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE
News Notes
By Special Correspondent
GUTHRIE Feb. 21 Grnnio
Greer county scored n victory in tho
Houso when that body voted almost
solidly to locate a branch penitenti-
ary for "First criminals" under 25
years of age at that place. There
was little discussion.
If the Houso bill stands as passed
the main penitentiary at McAlcster
will receive $H0000 for new build-
ings. Superintendent Dick has asked
for $350030 to enable tho board to
erect buildings already planned. Ths
Senate will likely increase tho appro
priation.
Gristmill Jonos the republican
loader is tho author of several con
stitutional amendments proposed by
the "Safe nnd sane" bureau at Okla
homa City. The subjects refer on
tircly to rcstrictionBplncod on corpor
ations by tho constitution. Jonos "js
Booking domocratic votes by offering
republican votos on public building
bills. .
Mnxoy of Shawnoe who led the
fight for tho amended school land bill
was wnrmly applauded whon ho con-
cluded his speoch replying to Jones
and other republicans.
The Hugo-Antlors-Vinita insane
asylum contest will nol bo sottled by
the special committee sent to visit
those towns. After several days tho
committee found itself unable to
ngree. 'I ho contest will therefore
be settled on the floor of tho two
houses.
Some opposition to state capital
logialatonjis materializing but the
program to enact a New Jorusalom
bill of some sort has not been altered
as yt. Lock of time seems to be tho
only hope tho opposition has of delay-
ing action.
The Senate refused to concur with
the Houso bill relating to tho salaries
of the Criminal Court of Appeals.
The lower body fixed tho componsa-
. ......
tion at 54000 tho same as received
by justices of tho supremo court.
Tho "Senato reduced tho salaries to ?3
500 per annum. Another amendment
by tho Senuto is tho organization ot
three Judicial districts from which
the judges of tho Criminal court shall
bo nominated. The boundaries of
theso districts have not been reported.

Attorney General
Asks Legislature for
Appropriation
FOREIGNCOMPANIES
Determined to Pip Gas From the
State for Use in Othor
Towns
OKLAHOMA CITY Okla. Pali.
II The Federation of Commercial
clubs today sent the following to all
the businees organiaationa of Oklaho-
ma cities and towna:
An effort is being made by the at-
t torney general to mure an apnroprln-
tton by the present legislature for the
purpose of resisting the action begun
by interstate gaa companies to pipo
Oklahoma gaa out of the atata. Un-
less tiiia appropriation ia provided
the attorney general will ba loft
without means to fight the eaaa.
'ihe legislnturo in Decombor
1907 panod a law making it iiflcos-
snry for foreign pipe lino companios
to gain consent of the atnto to cross
public highways beforo gas pipo
lines can be laid ncroas such high-
ways. There is no law to provent
piping of gas out of ho stato for
such a law would be unconstitutional ;
but tho effect of this law is to ltun-c
it within tho power of the stato to
prevent pipo linos being laid to tho
state line by foreign corporations.
While that is true and whiio tho
effect of upholding this law is to pre-
vent Oklahoma gas from being piped
out of tho stato to largo centers vof
poulation tho real test of tho present
law is upon tho point of whether tho
state lias control of this highways.
Upon this point the state is making
tills fight.
Thoro aro probably 150000 peoplo
now boing ecrvid in tho Btato with
Oklahoma natural gas and the quan-
ity is npparo- tly sufllcient to supply
ovory ono of tho larger towns in tho
state. To pipo this gas out means
that not only will there bo no further
extensions of natural gas service to
towns within tiio state but that this
leverage to maintain fa"torics in tho
state will bo dostroyed and that our
natural product will bo used to build
up large cities in othor states.
Within a very few years our gaa sup-
ply will have been exhausted as it
has boon in other states whan pipod
out indiicriminately.
It would appear to be to tho in
terest of Oklahoma peoplu generally
and pnrticulqHy to all towns in tho
stato which desire natural gas for
fuel and factory purpose that the
appropriation be made for carrying on
this fight to a final iaaue in tho
courts. The question of whether the
state has control over its public high
ways is in itself of sufficient moment
to warrant the expenditure oven were
not the other issue involved relative
to conserving tho gas. It is contend-
ed by tho attcrney genirnl and tho
opinion is supD3rtsJ by many gooJ
attorneys that the stato will succeed
in establishing its rights in tho matter
as sot forth in tho law concerning
public highways and if this rosults
the incident expense will be infini-
tcsmal. On the othor hand oven
though the state lose its contention
at the end of tho litigation the state
will have saved vastly more thon niy
possiblo expense in addition to finally
determining its rights in the matter. '
It seems clear that tho citi"s of
the stato should be vitally interested
in having tho caao fought through tho
courts to a final decision. The
amount necessary to bo appropriated
by the legislature for this proceeding
is comparative! small and the best
logal talent has rotuincd by the stato
to assist in tho litigation. Members
of thn legislature should bo encourag-
ed to make whatever app 2 riation is
necoesary to intelligently and vigorois-
ly defend the state's position in the
matter a course in which tho people
of tho state have every thing to gain
nnd nothing to lose.
