homa Official.

The monopoly of the Standard Oil
company In the sale of kerosene for IL
Illuminating purposes in Oklahoma has
been broken by an opinion by W. o.
Cromwell, the territorial attorney gen.
eral. Mr.. Cromwell holds that the
territory has power to prescribe such
flash tests as afford safety to consum-
ers, but hat the legislature has no au-
thorty to regulate the quality of n
article of merchandise shipped into
the territory and bought by the peo-
pie. The restrictions which the attor-
ney generals opinion remove are con-
tanned in the act of the legislature OF
1903. When in Washington several
weeks ago Gov. Frantz submitted the
law and his proposal to James Gar
field, secretary of the interior. Secre-
tary Garfield said that his impression
was that the law was in valid.
