MOTOR CYCLE
VS.. BICYCLE

Complaint is heard on all sides
from .bicyclists, who are paying
taxes each year toward the building
and maintenance of cycle paths
throughout the city, because of the
damage being done to these narrow
speedways by motorcyclists, who
are inclined to be hoggish, and with
whom no man on such light and
dependent craft as bicycle can
very well afford to dispute the right
of way. With one of the big motor
cycles, weighing $50 pounds or so,
tearing along the path at a speed
that turns the 'peddler" dizzy
there is no chance of safety for the
latter there.
Many of the paths are in bad re-
pair and the owners of bicycles de-
clare the motorcyclists, with their
two wheeled "divil cars" are to
blame for it. Bicyclists in Spokane
have complained of this same con-
dition in previous seasons, but now.
with the number of motorcycles rap
idly multiplying, it is declared the
damage to bicycle paths has been
greatly increased. and the danger to
bicyclists, who by no means court
a collision with the painting benzine
machines, is declared to be becom-
ing grave.

Guthrie, Okla, Mar. 25.-Practically
all of the bills passed by the special
session were declared to be emergency
legislation and therefore became ef-
fective Immediately upon their pas
sage and approval.
The constitution provides that no
bill shall become effective until ninety
days after the adjournment of the
legislature except such as are neces-
sary for the preservation of the pub
lie peace, health and safety, and that
provision had considerable deter
rent effect upon many members of
the legislature, especially during the
first session. At that time there were
a large number of members in both
houses who were unwilling to attach
a section to bill declaring that it
was necessary for the preservation of
an emergency really seemed to exist
But now it has become merely a
formal matter and the emergency
usually receives just the same vote as
the bill. itself. The only difference is
that the bill can pass by majority
vote, while two-thirds is necessary to
attach the emergency. Local bills in
regard to the establishment of court
town, legahzing interpretations or
validating bond issues would probably
not have been regarded by the fram-
ers of the constitution as essential to
the preservation of the peace, health
and safety of the people Of the state,
but practically every one of them pass
ed at this session has contained a de-
claration to that effect.
The really important bills passed
this time did not have the emergency
while the minor ones usually did, but
in every case there was reason for
it. The two election bills, one regu-
lating general elections and the other
the proceedings under the initiative
and referendum, were both put
through as strictly party measures,
and the republican minority was
sufficiently strong in the house to
prevent the adoption of the emer-
gency there, The fee and salary bill
was not made an emergency measure
because Of the fact that the new
schedule OF salaries could not go into
effect until after the next general

COUNTY OFFICES LOOK
GOOD TO POLITICIANS

Guthrie, Okla, March 25.-While a
few members of the second legisla-
ture will retire to private life and
leave the mad race for political pop
ularity, the majority will be found in
the next campaign. seeking the votes
of the people for either state, county
or national offices. Under the condi-
tions created by the new fees and sal
aries bill, county offices in many coun-
ties of the state will appear particular
ly attractive and a number of law
makers have already announced their
candidacy for such.
However, a question has arisen,
which the attorney general has been
called upon to determine, regarding
the constitutional inhibition on the
holding of Offices by members of the
Legislature which created them or in
creased their emoluments.
Two members Of the lower house,
seeking the nomination FOR county at
torney, have asked for an opinion as
to their eligibility in view of the con-
stitional provision
1t is believed the attorney general
will hold that the inhibition cannot
hold before a statute has been enact
ed by the Legislature; in other words,
before the constitutional scale of sal
aries was modified. The Utah courts
have held, in view of a similar con-
stitutional inhibition, that it does not
apply to the first action of the legis-
lature.
Such a broad opinion from the at
torney generals Office would prove
relief to many would-be Office holders
who otherwise would be hindered by
their legislative service.

out extravaganza, and can produce re-
suits from its employment that will
not only benefit and advance her own
people, but will prove of prime i'm

tions in our whole country.

perhaps fatally wounded as result OF

today. Clyde Jenkins, who is
charged with the shooting was brought
to this place early today, but refused
to discuss the affair. 1t is said that
the shooting was the result Of a fist
fight, In which Jenkins was given the
worst of it by the two English boys.
After the fist fight. it is said Jenkins
procured a shot gun and sought his
former antagonists. He found one of
them and fired at him. The attending
physicians state that the wound is
dangerous for the reason that several
of the shot pierced English's lung.

Agricultural Department
Sends Resolution to Gore

Guthrie, Okla, March 24.-Charles
F. Barrett, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, has forwarded to
United States Senator Gore a copy of
Senate Joint Resolution No 8, which
asked that congress provide for the
payment to Oklahoma of money in
lieu of 100000 acres of land that
should have been given the state un-
der an old grant. Secretary Barret's
letter accompanying the resolution is
as follows.
Il am enclosing you herewith, copy
of Senate Joint Resolution No. 3, ac-
cepting on the part of the State of
Oklahoma the terms and conditions of
an act of congress approved July 2,
1862, and other acts amendatory there
of, which has been duly passed by
both houses of the Oklahoma legisla-
ture signed by the presiding officers
|of said bodies, on behalf of the people,
and approved by the governor as the
executive authority of the state
Using the data obtained by you
from the acting secretary of the in
terror and the commissioner of the
general land office, this department
brought before the governor the acts
of congress substantiating our claim
and the opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Charles L. Moore, supporting
its validity, and both houses Of the
legislature, without dissenting vote,
took the affirmative action necessary
to iegalize and complete appropriated
and continued by congress for the pur-
poses named.
This action concludes our present
necessary activity in the matter, and
transfers to our delegation in congress
the responsibility for realizing to the
state the advantages and benefits so
generously provided by the general
government in aid of schools wherein
shall be taught agriculture and the me-
ehanic arts Oklahoma has done more
than merely accept the bestowal of

they become states. 1t has already
