BUSY TIMES AHEAD
FOR LAWMAKERS
End of Present Session of Oklahoma
Legislature Drawing Near-Many
important Bills TO Consider.

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. l6.--With hund
red and nine house bills alone under
the head of general orders on to-
days house calendar and only twenty
days of the session left busy times
are ahead for Oklahoma lawmakers.
Tomorrow will be one of the regular
senate days in the house and seven
bills from the senate are on the cal
endar as special orders. 1t is quite
likely that these will be disposed of at
once.
OF the many house bills now on
the calendar more than twenty are
public building measures. The matter
of locating state institutions is among
the numerous questions that will prob
ably come before the house this week
for final settlement and this will go
a long way toward cleaning up the
calendar
A bill that has already taken consid-
cradle time and promises to be the
subject of another interesting debate
is the committee substitute bill for
Putnam's good roads measure, 1t
stands at the head of the calendar for
AOdttS 9LtlhhiAlS hNAA W Lhlo 10 AiilT
other good roads bill by Joe Smith,
of Caddo There is a wide interest
among members on the goods roads
questsion.
Two other bills that seem likely to
come up for consideration early in the
week are that by Workman, to pro-
vide for cheaper text books and sup
plies and their ownership by school
districts, and that by Smith, of Grant.
relating to the Office of state examiner
and Inspector
The house also will probably reach
this week the Wallace bill for the re-
peal of section one of the "Billups
booze bill" or that portion of the law
providing for the establishment Of
state or local agencies. The fish and
game bill also has place on the cal
endar which would seem to Indicate
its early consideration.
A senate bill that already has at
traeted wide attention over the state
and that stirred up one of the biggest
debates in the senate during the en-
tire session is No. 50, by Eggerman,
for the establishment of a state sol
diers home This bill is set as a spec
ial order for two o'clock Friday. One
of the warmest debates the house has
witnessed this session is an extreme
at that time.

CITY OFFICIALS
MAY HOLD OVER
Attorney General West Says Election
Law Passed by okIahoma's First
Legislature Does Not Apply
to Cities.

According to an opinion recently
rendered by Attorney General Charles
West, the primary or general election
law, enacted by the first legislature
of Oklahoma does not apply to special
city elections or to the regular spring
election in April and the league of
municipalities recently organized by
the different city officials of the larger
cities has been notified that bill pro-
badly would be passed covering this
subject before the Legislature adjourns
and that it was the intention to have
city elections held during the fall in
stead of the spring. In case this feat
ure is embodied in the bill and the
measure becomes a law, in all prob
ability the present officials in all cities
of the first class will hold over until
next fall
In case such a law is enacted by the
present legislature, it will effect Vim
ita, this municipality being among the
cities of the state coming under the
head of first class Last spring
men holding office in all cities of the
first class in Oklahoma were kept on
needles and pins for two or three
months, not knowing whether they
were going TO hold over for another
year or not, and Indications now point
to the same condition Of affairs this
year.

Oklahoma Farmers Who Have Been

Reap Rich Reward.

Okeene, okla, Feb. l6.-The first 81

wheat it could get from now on.
A large number of the farmers in
this section have been holding their
wheat from last year. Their condition
is such that they did not have TO sell
until they could get the price they
wanted. There is lots of wheat in the
country here that has been laying IL
