Yeager and Strain. intended to pre-
vent the piping OF gas out of the state
The bill limits the gas pressure in pipe
lines TO maximum of 300 pounds to
the square inch, and making the use
Of pumping stations within the state
illegal. The authors claim that without
pumping stations and with the pres
sure limited to 800 pounds, the gas
companies could not pipe gas to any
point far distant from the boundaries
Of the state like Kansas City and St
Louis With the same end IN view
Senator Davis introduced a bill re-
pealing the section of the present law
that authorizes the use Of pumping
stations for gas within the state.
The senate passed Russell's joint

Governor C. ~ Haskell submitted
his sixth special message TO the spe.
cial session. It recommends an
amendment to the general revenue
law providing for the taxing Of public
service corporations by a single state
board instead of by two boards. which
is now a subject Of controversy in the
federal courts and also amendments TO
the state license tax and income pro-
visions OF the laws The message
states that if the sugge stions are fol.
lowed and the recommendations pre-
yiously made providing for counties
sharing in the expenses of maintaining
the insane that the making Of a tax
levy for state purposes will no longer
be necessary. The message also urges
consideration Of previous recommenda.
tions that the maximum tax levy be
reduced and local subdivisions be re-
stricted in issuing bonds and making
Improvements.
Among other recommendations in
the message were, A law authorizing
counties to purchase Indian buildings
from the federal government for coun-
~ purposes; a Law establishing a con-
federate home. requiring corporations
to produce their books and records
providing for the selection of a judge
to complete business left unfinished
by the death Of the regular Judge.
Among the bills passed finally by
the house were By Boyle. requiring
weighing Of coal at mines before
screening; by Durant. appropriating

Mr. John Johnson was standing
at the dept waiting for the east
bound train to pull in. A friend
walked up and said: John, are
you going east today?' No, !"
answered John; up to 3 years
ago, when they had saloons at
Cherokee and Tuscumbia, | was
in the habit of going east after
liquor, but | have been quit drink
ing now for 3 years and there is
no need to travel on the train. :"
Then another spectator said; John
you have had considerable expert
ence in drinking--does it pay?"
No, indeed; | spent 80 years and
$4,000 in the business and can say
enphatically that it is far from
paying. 1t brings trouble, tribu-
lation and poverty.

Undoubtedly one of the most
pleasant meetings of the Thursday
Club was that held on Tuesday
afternoon May 18th at the home
of Mrs w D Gooch. Nearly all
the members and several guests
were welcomed by the hostess.
The president opened the meet

few preliminaries the treat of the
afternoon came in the form of
Sunshine Hawks" In his own
inimitable way he entertained and
charmed his hearers throughout
the afternoon. Stories, bright,
witty, humorous and fascinating
fell from his lips. While his hu-
NOR is delightful from the plat
form his vivacious personality is
even more captivating in the par
lor.
AS fitting climax to so delight
ful an occasion the hostess served
a delicious ice course in the club
colors-white and yellow.
