OFFICE IS CONSTITUTIONAL
But High Court Entertains Some
Doubt as to Enforcement
Attorneys Salary

In the criminal court of appeals
Judge Richardson, handed .lown
an opinion IN which he affirmed
the constitute iSnaity Of the act pro
viding for v st&e enforcement at
toIney to assist n the enforcement
cf the prohibitory law. and also held
that the legislature had full power
to create such law Il was held
that appointment by the governor was
sufficient and that It was not neces-
sary for the legislature to create the
office in express terms There was
some doubt on the salary OF $2,500
per year lrIr The Ienloncement at
tOrney, which the law says shall be
fixed by the governor. The court,
however, says that this provision is
unconstitutional that the salary is on
~ an incident to the creation OF an
office and that it would not inyali-
date others to make this provision.
The effect Of this decision may tie
dp the salary Of Fred S. Caldwell the
present holder of the office.
This decision rendered by Judge
Richardson. was in the case Of S. G.
Childs who had been convicted IN
Seminole county Of violating the II
quor law and who had appealed on
the ground that the Information had
been signed By Caldwell and not by
the county attorney

An absolute deadlock has been
created over the capital question by
the senate by a vote of 80 to ac-
cepptlg the Culberston Heights prop
osltion and the house, without the
courtesy of discussing the matter,
tabling the resolution practically un-
animously 1t seems that sine die
a liournment within a few days will
be the outcome
When the senate took up the res
olution accepting the east side offer
Senator Roddie introduced the Put
ram proposition as a substitute The
capital commlt,le was assigned to re-
port on the substitute and did so
coming out openly against the Put
nam site. The committee condemned
the offer as a scheme to put the state
in the real estate business behind a
quantity OF land that neither the cit
izens of Oklahoma City nor the people
of Oklahoma would buy.
Roddle made a defense Of the Put
nam proposition but was completely
overwhe med -Four senators voted
against the northeast site, Berkey,
Coffey, Cloonan and Roddie.
Before the resolution reached the
house JAYNE OF Seminole. Tabor Of
Garvin, and Lenox Of Okmulgee in
troduced bill providing for the tenn
porary location of the capital in
Guthrie until the completing of the
capital building elsewhere. Barrett
of Shawnee also introduced a bill paw
ing the way for the re-submission Of
the capital location to the people.
Wild cheers and prolonged demon
-.fati0n followed the vote of the
house TO kill the senate resolution.
The Democrats were against the north
east site because they were pledged
by Haskll to the Putnam site and the
Republicans voted with them be-
cause a deadlock would result and
probably make capital legislation i'm.
possible at the special session.
Governor Haskell is still hopefu,
