GUTHRIE, o. T., Feb. 7.-TSpecial lit is
really amusing to see how readily the
members of the legislature from the rural
districts distrust the motions of the law
yers Of the respective bodies. When
the motion was made to suspend the rules
for the purpose of passing council bills Nos.
to IA, repeating that portion of the statutes
relating to matters of no Importance, the
objections were many.
Some good legislation is being enacted.
Oklahoma City, Yukon, El Reno and
Beaver have had bills introduced looking
toward the location of the penitentiary.
Men with small axes to grind are on deck,
and cranks of all kinds are here trying to
push all manner Of Utopian ideas Most
Of them will know more when they are
older There is some feeling about the
members adjourning for so long time.
The truth is, the work must be done in
the committee rooms, and by few even
then. There is little to be gained by the
campaign class of oratory. Legislation
should be the result Of thought and care
full investigation.
