GOVERNOR SIGNS
THE ASYLUM BILL
Measure Locating East Side Hospital
For The Insane at vinita
is Now Law.

Among the important legislative
enaetments signed by Governor Has
kell Saturday was the bill providing
for the establishment of the East side
insane asylum at Vinita.
The asylum bill was not reached
by the governor until about six
o'clock Saturday evening and some
of the timid ones were beginning to
get nervous However there was
never any doubt in the minds of those
best informed that the bill would be
signed in due time and become a law.
Governor Haskell had given his word
that he would act favorably on this
measure and his signature followed
as natural consequence of this
promise
It is not known exactly when the
state board Of commissioners will be
here to select a site for the institu-
tion, or when construction work will
begin, though II is expected the main
buildings win be ready for occupancy
some time within the year.
Other important bills signed by the
governor Saturday, that being the last
day under the constitution that bills
could be held without action, were the
Yeager-Strain pipe line bill the Til
lottson gas preservation bill the bill
creating a board Of public affairs to
purchase everything from lead pen
ellis up. used by the state and thirty
eight appropriation measures carry
ing an aggregate appropriation OF five
million dollars The governor at
tached his signature to fifty bills Sat
urday. The first bill to receive the
governors veto was the 100000
building for the central normal school
at Edmond.

ANTITRUST LAWS
Noted Cooperation Attorney of Chicago
Praises a Decision Recently
Rendered by Judge Dunn.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar 29. r Hon.
Charles West, attorney general, is in
receipt of a letter from Edgar A. Ban
croft. one of the most noted corpora
tion attorneys of Chicago, which is
printed below The letter clearly
shows that the judiciary Of Oklahoma
is fast gaining a reputation all over
the Union for it's progressive inter
probation of law, particularly is this
true in the handling of all corpora
ton matters. The letter is as fol
lows.
Dear Mr. West:
q have just read with the greatest
interest the opinion of your supreme
court in the lumber, coal and ele-
vator cases (99 Pac 911) | congrat-
ulate you nthis victory, not so much
because you have won as because you
have made some new, sound law on
the monopoly question. know Of no
recent antitrust opinion that is so
clear and well reasoned as that of
Judge Dunn. 1t goes without saying
that precedent to the opinion there
was strong and exhaustive argument
on behalf of the territory.
am particularly interested in this
opinion because it is a further step
toward the practical regulation, not
only of monopolistic combinations,
but also of the large corporations that
are generally feared and assailed ir-
respective of their conduct. That
opinion makes conduct and effect the
test precisely as they were at com
mon law.
"When questions are thus consid-
cred, you are dealing in definite Ian
guage and established standards,
whereas. in most of the Trusts pros
ecutions, the decision there is mere
ly the application of absolutely all
compehending prohibitions to all tran
sactions, which in anywise effect com
petition.
There seems to be a marked ten
dency at present towards this ration

I believe you were the first official
to express and elucidate

LEFT TO CHOICE
At CITY ELECTION
There viii be But One School Board
in Cities Of the First
Class.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar, 29.-That the
provision of the separate school law
of 1908 requiring the election Of sep
arate boards of education in cities Of
the first class is abrogated by the new
city election law, without regard to
the constitutionality of the former
law, is the holding of Assistant Attor-
ney General w. G. Reeves in an opin-
ion to State Superintendent =, d.
Cameron. who has referred to him an
inquiry from j. W. Wright, city sup
erintendent al Wagner
The opinion recites the fact that
the law of 1908 had been declared un-
constitutional by the Logan county
district court and that no appeal has
ever been taken from the decision
and goes on to declare that even if
the law were held constitutional and
applicable to school districts In cities
of the first class at the time of it's
passage, it could not be applicable
now, as the new law provides for but
one school board, two members to
be chosen from each ward, and a
separate board would be unauthoriz-
ad
