— Harry It. Cordell, president of
(be Oklahoma Board of Agri-
culture, joined J. Berry King,
attorney general, today in criti-
cism of the action of Governor
W. H. Murray 111 removing em-
ployes of Hie state market coin
mission and consolidating sal-
aries and functions.
"We have tried many ways
to g t along with Governor Mur-
ray but his rule or ruin i>ollcy
not only touches the board of
Hgreulture but other state de-
partments," Cordell stated.
Cordell charged Governor Mur-
lay’s “hand picked board" haa
employed six livestock inspev
tors, “three more than neces-
sary," despite early criticism by
tlie governor of the number <!'
department employes.
King last night held void the
governor’s discharge of the
market commission employes.
The commission is composed of
Cordell as chairman, the gover-
nor and D. P. Trent, extension
director of the Oklahoma A. &
M. college, Stillwater.
The governor and Trent were
currently reported planning to
take formal action toward rati-
fying the governor's action when
next the commission meets.
Cordell asserted he would
take no active part on the com-
mission In the future as a
result of the dismissal of the
employes.

A city franchise election was
a step nearer today with the
completion of petitions, carry-
ing 1881 names, which wer.'
circulated by the Oklahoma Gas
and Electric company. The next
action will be the presentation
cl th» petitions to Mayor J. O.
(hairiness, which will probably
be effected Thursday.
The Oklahoma Gas and Elec*
tri« company seeks a 21 year
franchise, effective lor 25 years
from December 17. 1927. Ap-
plication of the concern to the
hoard of city commissioners to
call an election on the franchise
was recently refused. Under
the law the company may circu-
late petitions asking for an elec-
tion or a vote of the people.
Twenty-five per cent of the
voters in the last preceding city
election must sign the petitions
in order to force the calling
election. There were 2.071
u.tea east in the last city elec-
tion, which was unusually heavy.
"18 is the minimum number on
the petitions but this was greatly
exceeded, according to H. L.
Fogg, attorney for the company.
In the city election a year ago
only 788 votes were cast.
If Mayor Chamnees receives
the petitions Thursday it means
that lie has until May 25 to call
tlie election. If the matter 1b
r.ot acted upon until the final
days, the election will he held
the lust week In June. On th •
other hand, the vote might l>e
Hie third week of the month if
approval Is glv-n immediately
following the presentation.
The O. G. and E. is obligated to
pay all costs involved by the elec-
tion when It' initiates the votu
by means of petition.
