Capitol Bill Passes House
The two days' fight over the capitol
appropriation bill ended with a pro-
longed filibuster and much riotous but
good-natured confusion, with all sub-
stitutes and motions to refer to the
people killed, and with the final paps-
age of the appropriation bill by a vote
of 55 to 23. The emergency lost by
the same vote, 66 being required to
pass it.
It became apparent In the middle of
the afternoon that Speaker Maxey,
assisted by Representatives Tehee, H.
H. Smith, "E. P. Hill, Pinkham, Mit-
chell and a few others, realizing that
their fight against the appropriation
could not win, were determined to do
all in their power to prevent the bill
coming to a vote. The "capitol" forces
countered with the determination to
stay in the hall till midnight, or get
a vote, and the contending forces see-
sawed along through the supper hour
and until nearly nine o'clock before
the filibusters had exhausted all their
resources.
The bill as passed carries approxi-
mately $7.>0,000 cash for the immedi-
ate beginning of work on a $1,500,000
capitol and provides a capitol commis-
sion of three men, to be appointed by
the legislature, to let the construction
and architectural contracts and build
the capitol. Of the $750,000, approxi-
mately $250,000 comes from "dead"
funds now in the state treasury, $95,-
000 from the game protection fund,
approximately $155,000 donated by
Oklahoma City, and $250,000 appro-
priated direct from the general reve-
nue funds of 1914-1915, to become
available in 1915.

The Sunday observance bill, by Pru-
ett and others, was pased on final
roll call, but with the provisions
against theaters and sports, such as
basebRll, eliminated. According to

what was omitted from the Harris-
Day codification, and merely re-estab-
lishes the Sunday regulations of the
past.

Another Constitutional Amendment
A proposed constitutional amend-
ment by Representative Lemon, > neli
would reduce the board of agriculture
to five members, elected directly by
Low Rates For the State Fair.
On two dates during the seventh
annual Oklahoma State Fair and Ex^
position, September 23 to October 4,
19111, inclusive, a rate of one fare for
the round trip will prevail from all
points in Oklahoma.
An open rate of two cents per mile
in each direction, with minimum sell-
ing fare of $1.00 for the round trip
from all points in the state to Okla-
homa City, and return, was also an-
nounced. This rate will be in force
daily during the State Fair and Expo-
sition with final limit the day follow-
ing the close of tho fair.
The rate of one faro for the round
trip for two days during the fair
period is the best ever before given
in the state of Oklahoma on any state
occasion and means record-breaking
crowds.
While the two-cent rate would
make it possible for immense crowds
to attend the State Fair and Exposi-
tion when the gates swing back Sep-
tember 23 lor twelve dayB, the cent
and a half rale will enable the great-
est number of Oklahoma's population
of nearly two million persons to at-
lend what promises to be the greatest
State Fair and Exposition in history.
i he granting of the special rata
will be beneficial to people in every
town and city in Oklahoma and at the
same time be of greats value to the
, railroads.
