■<age of three Important bills, the In- letting h|K colleagues know of his op.
position ho took occasion to remind
troductlon of several now measures
of weight, the governor's fourth mes
^age, and uneventful sessions of both
fcoasos mark this day's sitting of the
legislature.
The house passed and sent to the
senate two bills, one by Represents | lows
tive Wallace of Garvin, carrying the
emergency clause, extending time for
payment of 1909 taxes from February
I to April 1. 1910. and one by Repre-
sentative Anthony of Stephen, legal-
izing the 1909 tax assessments. The
senate passed Senator Rod wine's bill
appropriating $20,000 to acquire at.
additional site for the state j>enlten-
tlary at McAlester. Several import-
ant bills were introduced, notably one
by Senator Yeager of Tulsa and Sen-
ator Strain of Wann, putting restric-
tions around long distance piping and
the exploitation of gas; one by Sen-
ator Graham of Marietta, regulating
surety bonds for railroad employes
and making it unlawful for the rail-
roads to designate any particular
company to employes; one by Sen-
tor Smith of Duncan and Senator
Franklin of Madill, creating the of-
fice of county assessor; one by Rep-
resentatives Anthony of Stephens
and Hughes of Mayes, creating th?
Oklahoma state home for depend nt

lows: Representatives Johnwn of
Hughes, Smith of Grant, Ratliff of
Craig, Wortman of Rogers, Price gf
Osage, Simmons of Tulsa and Dixon
ofc Okmulgee.
The house went Into the committee
of the whole to consider Wallaces
hill extending the time of tax pay-
ments and Anthonys 'hill legalizing
the 1909 tax assessment. Wiliams
moved to recommit the Wallace bill
to the committee on revenue and tax-
ation, which motion was followed by
considerable discussion along the
lines of yesterday afternoon.
Tax Extension Bill Passes.
The bill was finally recommitted
for remodeling and reappeared later
in the afternoon when it passed, th"
vote standing 74 to 14. The emer-
gency clause was added by a vote of
78 to 10.
The republican members were suf-
ficiently strong to have prevented the
hill carrying the emergency clause
but did not attempt to do so, nearly
all of these voting for the bill and
the emergency clause. The bill on
llnal passage was discussed by sev-
eral members of the house. Repre-
sentatives Ewell of Bryan county was
them that conditions in his home
county as a whole were "never bU
ter."
The report of the committee on
house employes was adopted as fa'.-

Black, assistant enrolling and en-
grossing clerk.
same county represented by the com
mitteeman. The object of this ml
was to see that every democratic
community In the mate was fairly
represented at the state committee
meetings, and to do away with the
practice of permitlng parties who did
not live in the county and who art
not in touch with local conditions to
gather up a large number of proxies
and controlling the committee meet-
ing.
"You are urgently requested as a
personal favor to myself, to attend

if for any reason you find It impos-
sible to be present in person, then
to have some good democrat resid-
ing In your county present with your
proxy. We want a representative
meeting of the state committee on
this occasion from every part of the
state.
"Matters ol great moment to the
pnrty will be up for discussion and we
want to settle them in such a way as
to respond to the wishes of the
masses ot the democrats throughout
the state."

original "insurgents," today Intro-
duced a resolution providing for a re-
organization of the rules committee
and the removal of Speaker Cannon
from that committee.
The resolution alms straight at the
nouse organization and would shear
the speaker of a great portion of the
power of his cflficc. The resolution
provides that F%b. 7. the house shall
elect five additional members of the
committee on rules, four republicans

Hon. A. Fain,
County Attorney,
lawton, Okla.
Dear Sir: Replying to your tele-
gram will say that we paroled H. O.
Holderby d ay before yesterday. I
desire to say that since our Criminal
Court of Appeals has recently decid-
ed that a parole simply suspends the
time, and If the conditions of the na-
role are violated at any time in fu-
ture years the Governor may, with-
out any trial or delay, immediately
cancel the parole and cause the pris-
oner to be arrested and confined to
serve out his original sentence.
On account of this dfeclslon, Mr.
him, whereupon Mr. James, by way
o'' the retort courteous, blandly ad
■milted that the President probably
knew what he was driving at for he
and Kaincy always turned up on t!u
"right side.' Pretty clever little
bunch of talk for non-crap shooters,
eh? Well, anyway, the President
succeeded In having Rainey omitted
from the committee even if he could
not put a crimp In James. Hut th«s
event was only a mere starter for
the week's jjolltlcal fmi and frolic.
The house of governors held their
third annuul meeting iu Washingfo.i
and the discussion turned largely-
towards the question of state rights
and such men as Gov. Hughes of New
York and other leading governors of
northern states declared lustily for
states' rights. It was a rather queer
proceeding to hear men from the
north wasting huge gobs of langua/ •
( aldwell, our State Enforeement At- jn denouncing the power exerted
that in
prohibit^
products of petroleum. The Wortman
bill provides for a charge of 40 cents
a barrel for inspection at refineries or
tank stations, and for 70 cents when
inspected in barrels.
The inspection fees would average
nearly a cent a gallon, which would
o? course have to ultimately be borne
by the consumer of the oil.
