OIL CASE IN THE
SUPREME
COURT
Controversy between Has

Cided by High Court

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 11-Governor
Haskelrs application for writ Of
prohibition to prevent the district
court Of Logan county from assuming
further Jurisdiction in connection with
the Injunction suit filed by Attorney
General West against the Prairie Oil
and Gas company was argued in the
supreme court yesterday.
Counsel for the governor argued
that the language Of the constitution
by which supreme executive power
is vested in the governor gave him
discretionary power, and right to de-
eide whether or not suit should be
brought Reference was also ruade to
the constitutional provision which
gives the attorney general such power
rs may be provided BY the constitu-
ton or the statutes of the state. It
was shown that the only reference in
the constitution to the instituting OF
amy proceedings was in connection with
the corporation commission; that the
old territorial statute defining he
powers Of he attorney general and
providing that he should bring suits
at the direction Of the governor was
not repealed by the constitution and
was therefore still in force,
The attorney general in his argu-
ment in reply denied the governors
right to question the jurisdiction Of
the lower court after he had once
sought It's jurisdiction, declaring that
the defendant. the Prairie Oil and Gas
company, was the only one who could
take such action. He also took up
the constitution Of the different states
which used the expression supreme
executive power in connection with
the governors Office, and showed that
number Of them expressly gave the

suits, and withheld it from the govern
