courts of a half scorc of states have
united in this opinion, and the con-
stitutional question may be consid-
ered as settled. Some states hav<?
constitutional bars against issuing
bonds without a vote of the people,
and this very wise provision in fun-

almost a foregone conclusion that

vote they will vote four or five to one

tures that are now in session is pret-
ty clear. They have lota o{ prece-
dent, both in law and in fact. Su-
premo courts have held the state bo-
nuses to be legal, and the supreme
court of the public .namely, the bal-

bloodless duel was fought this after-

WAREHOUSH Bllili
DEBATE IS BEGUN
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 25.—
With the introduction of the appro-
priations bill in the senate today,
and protracted debate forecast on
the warehouse bill, two of the lar-
gest measures before the Oklahoma
legislature have been fed into the
machine which turns them out as
laws or orders.
The appropriation for $2,000,000
for the establishment of a farmers'
warehouse in all sections of the
state, will probably be debated sev-
eral days before it is acted upon, if
today's session of the senate is an
indication, according to state sena-
tors.
The first two sections of this bill
were the only ones approved by the
upper house during a discussion
lasting from 3 o'clock iu the after-
noon to 6 o'clock. The section of
the bill defining the application of
the terms of the bill was considered
when motion for adjournment car-
ried.
The greater part of the argument
was directed on alleged tendencies
of the bill to violate the Sherman
anti-trust law.
