Sequoyah convention had this pro
vision put into the Sequoyah constitu

tional convention of Oklahoma tried
to have it put into the constitution
Of our state. but failed because 1
didn't have votes enough. To establish
the system rightly requires the cs-
tablishmeut of court IL necessary.

prcmc jurisdiction court for that
specific work u requires the eN-
press authority Of comforting Ger
tain semi-judicial functions upon the
keeper of the titles. 10 requires cN.
press authority for the state to guar
antec title All uf these different
requirements are at least questionable
under the Oklahoma constitution and
certainly the constitution prohibits
the creation OF any court except
courts inferior to the supreme court
Now word as TO the guaranty
proposition, one might say that II
is subjcct-and the charge has been
made-to liability of bankruptcy

method Cf guarantee is similar TO
the bank guaranty law enacted by
this Legislature is, when the
