LEGISLATURE MAY
FINISH IN A WEEK
UNLESS SOMETHING UNEXPEcT-
ED ARISES THE SESSION WILL
BE BRlEF-sO1H BODIES BUSY.

With the appointment in both SEN
ate and house of a capital committee
OF fifteen members to pass upon the
bills that have been introduced, there
seems little chance of the special
session of the legislature adjourning
before the middle of next week. AS
shown by the vote on the ratification
of Governor HaskelI's call the senti-
ment is undeniab'y in favor of Ok
lahoma City but the lawmakers do
not intend to have any flaws in their
actions and for that reason plenty OF
time will be taken.
In the senate three of the import
ant bills will come up for third read
ing Wednesday and one for a second
reading The three pertaining to the
capital location will be referred to
the capital committee consisting in
the senate senators Thompson, Egg
german, Echols, Newell, Borefoot,
Anderson, Vandeventer, Landrum,
Stewart, Hendrick, Hatchett, Denton,
Potter, Brownlee and Beeler. These
men will deliberate over the measure
for at least three days, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected, during which time
the senate will meet in regular ses-
sion and adjourn.
1T is impossible to tel when the
session will adjourn, said Senator
Eggerman Tuesday afternoon, "al-
though it will be next week, | pre-
sumo. On these capital bills, the
length of the session depends largely
upon the time taken by the commit
tee. We may deliberate two days
and perhaps a week. Then in all
probability there will be amendments
to be considered and this will length
en- operations"
If the bills in both houses are re-
ferred to the capital committee We'd
nesday afternoon considered Thurs
day might and brought into the ses-
sion Friday morning or afternoon
without amendments, the special ses
sion will probably adjourn Saturday
1t is not expected, however, that this
will be the case and the most hope
full members are preparing to spend
at least a week or two in the city.
The surprising gain in Oklahoma
City's strength in both houses dur
ing the two days that the session
has been convoked is meeting with
content on all sides. The senate
especially has an overwhelming ma
jority for Oklahoma City. AS shown
in the ratification of Governor Has
kell's call there are 33 for and prob
ably or 10 against. Several of the
republican leaders in both houses
voted with the democrats declaring
in explanation of their vote that il
was a non-partisan matter and one
in which the representatives and sen
ators should take the greatest inter
est because it would so vitality affect
their constituents. Governor Has
kell's special message in reference tC
the increase in salary of the office OF
commissioner of charities and correc
tions did not come as a surprise. At
has been known for some time that
the governor intended to increase the
compensation of this office. In the
senate the vote on the measure will
be almost unanimous.
With the arrival of the legislative
appurtenances from Guthrie before
the end of the week the quarters
in the Levy building will have been
comfortably furnished. The Chamber
of Commerce committee consisting
of O. D. Halsell, Seymour Heyman,
c. G. Jones, o. p. Workman and G.
b. Stone has received a number of
congratulations on the securing of
suitable quarters so quickly. One Of
the pleasant features of the provis-
ions in the assembly rooms is the
accommodation to the press.-Okla-
