OKLAHOMA Laws.

oklahOma's laws, like her consti-
tuition, are full OF experimental fea-
lures and both are coming more or
less into collision with the federal
courts. As is well known, the state
has undertaken TO carry out q dras-
tic plan OF conserving her natural
gas, product In which she IL par
ticulariy rich. BY indirection her
laws have been SO framed that ii
could not DO piped out of the state.
While q direct Inhibition was not at
tempted, section was incorporated
In the constitution denying to any
corporation the right Of eminent do
main OF the use Of the highways, un-
less 1t would FIRST take out q domes-
tic charter. after which, II was rea-
soned. the state could lay such re-
strictlOns as 1t saw At. Here mas
clever conservation scheme OF It's
own and one perhaps that would
have attained its purpose had there
been no United States courts to
reckon with.
There has naturally been cOnsid-
cradle resistance 70 this arbitrary
regulation. In incidental rulings the
courts have made It plain that they
were not prepared to uphold the state
IN restricting the sale Of gas within
her own borders. More directly to
the point Ia the Intelligence that
Judge Campbell of the eastern dis
trict federal court will put into ef-
feet far-reachinG temporary inIunc-
ton that states OiIicers from inter
ferIng with the companies to pipe
gas into other states. The product
IL held to be one OF interstate COM
merce, as much as corn or wheat or
coal, and Oklahoma has no more
right to exclude the rest OF the
world from It's benefits than In the
case OF any other staple.
The, conservation ideas incorpor-
ated into the laws OF Oklahoma, e.
well as many other OF her expert
mental laws, are usually along the
lines OF advancement. but In many
instances will need revision and trim

How They Are Guarded at oarrIsOns.
The Bull Ring.
The hardest duty that a soldier Is
ever called upon TO perform in times Of
peace and the duty which be breads
the most Is the guarding Of military
prisoners. These are divided into two
classes:
First-Garrison prisoners. who have
received light sentences for minor
breaches Of discipline and will be re-
turned to duty In short time.
Second Military convicts, who for
attempted desertion or other serious
military crimes have been dishonor-
ably discharged by order Of a court
martial and have received sentences
varying from a few months to several
years confinement at hard labor, &C.
