work of Imagination, was either die
tated or inspired by someone of those
that l exposed as they have dictated
other derogatory dispatches. How
ever this report maintains the reputa-
tion of the State Capital for humorous
journalism. No one ought to believe
the suggestion that / would resign not
even when it appears in the State
Capital. 1t is one of the thousands of
libels hurled against me by the graf
ters. It is no more false and in fam
GUS than all the rest, but fortunately
its utter falsity and infamy is self-evi-
dent to every citizen of Oklahoma, and
helps to discredit the other calumnies
to which I have been subjected.

in Oklahoma will live and prosper

of resigning and intend to live and
die in the senate, waging everlasting
warfare against grafters and their
graft. l feel sure that the people of
Oklahoma, without reference to party

conspiracy to discredit and defeat me

Do PROPRIETARY MEDICINE
CONTRACTS VIOLATE LAW?

icines embodied trade secrets and
from the very nature of the articles
the owner of the secrets was entitled
to monopoly therein.
In the brief prepared by Mr. Parker
and Mr.. SHREDDER it was argued that
the courts could not insure an unnec-
essary monopoly in proprietary medi-
cines. 1t was argued that the manu-
facturer was asking for protection
granted only to patented articles, with
out subscribing to the condition i'm
posed upon patented articles, namely
that they will become available to the
public after few years. Extended
arguments were presented in the brief
to show that the contracts violated
the common law and the Sherman act.

MENEFEE PAYS NO HEED
TO CONTEMPT CITATION

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. a. = James A.
Menefee, state treasurer, whowas cited
last Saturday afternoon to appear in
the district court here Monday to
show cause why he should not be held
in contempt for violating the capital
injunction, has made no appearance.
1t was announced Menefeeogot a con-
tinuanee, but court records show no
action whatever on the Menefee case.
Last night District Judge Huston went
to Kingfisher to hold court He will
return here for court January 5.
1t is said that Menefee has simply
ignored the court citation and that the
order has not been pressed further
because of probable supreme court ac-
ton. The district court Injunction was
issued last June following Governor
Haskell's proclamation that Oklahoma
was the capital. 1t was understood
chat Assistant Attorney General
Reeves would represent Menefee and
move to dissolve the injunction and to
dismiss the citation for contempt
All state departments have moved
to Oklahoma City excepting the courts
and State Auditor Trap, who still in
sists that his successor, Leo Meyer,
now assistant secretary of state, must
do the moving.

WILL REQUIRE RAILROAD TO
PAY EXCESS TO TREASURY

4 Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 4.-Rep-
Peters of Usage announced
last night that he will introduce bill
requiring the railroads to pay into the
state treasury an amount equal to the
excess of the 2-cent fare collected by
the railroads in Oklahoma since the
Hook injunction was put in force. The
bill will provide that in case the final
decision of the courts is adverse to
the railroads the amount of the excess
fare, which is not reclaimed through
rebate coupons, shall be paid into the
common school fund of the state. Mr.,
Peters estimates that from $1.000000
to $2,0O0OO has been paid to the rail
roads in excess of the 2-cent fare since
the injunction became effective.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Jan. 4.-The

of the governor and two other mem
bers, to be appointed by the governor
and the senate. A committee of bank
ers is seeking to have an amendment
| Injected providing that the other mem
bers of the board shall be bankers, but.
Senator 'Roddie declares he will fight
against such an amendment.
The bill carries provision that as
easements for the guaranty fund shall
be left on deposit ~ the bank which
pays them, and provides further that

COUNCIL ACTION
ST|RS UP TROUBLE
Cancellation of Contract For Auditor
ium May Result in Filing of Suit
For Damages.

The city council dispatched business
with vim, at it's regular meeting last
night. This was the first meeting OF
the new year and from the amount OF
business transacted it is evident the
council had made some New Year reso'
lutions.
Two finance ordinances were intro
duced and passed. One was for the
current expenses of the month, and
the other was an appropriation for the
expense of labor and material used IN
the extension of the city water works.
An ordinance was adopted leyying a
tax against the property in blocks "a,
81 and SO for the cost of constructing
sanitary sewers through those blocks.
AIresolution, declaring it the sense
of the council that Vinita should be a
member of the State Municipal League
and authorizing the mayor to join that
organization, was adopted. No steps
were taken toward sending representa-
tives to the meeting of the league, at
Oklahoma City next week, but it Is un-
derstood the city will be represented.
The recent fire in the city has made
the council very hostile toward shacks
in the business part of the city, and q
resolution was adopted condemning
and decaaaang as nuisance the old
Bluejacket hotel and the buildings oc-
cupied by Fred Thomas barber shop
and po@l hall, on South Wilson street.
James s. Davenport and r. P. Iron
sides aae the owners of the last nam
ed buildings. The owners will have
thirty days, in which to remove these
structures. If at the end of that time
they are not moved the city marshal
will be ordered to proceed to remove
them.
The council also cancelled the con.
tract with Butler & Byrd for the Audit
torium. This action on the part oil
the council promises 70 entangle the
city IN "a legal fight. Tie contract was
sold by Butler & Byrd to w c. Mars
The council cancelled the contract be-
cause the lessees had not paid the
rent for the last four months. The
lessee claims that on account of the
failure of the city to heat the building
according to the contract, he was dam
aged in excess of the amount of the
rent, and will probably institute dam
age suit against the city. The resolu-
ton cancelling the contract carried
the emergency clause and will become
effective at once.

CHAMP CLARK ADVOCATES
CHANGE IN CONSTITUTION

Washington, D. G. iaa.s.4 AN ex-
tension Of the presidential and con-
gressional terms of Office is favored
by Champ Clark
81 am in favor of amending the con-
stitution,' said Clark today, $50 as to
elect the president for one term of six
years and make him ineligible for re-
election | am in favor of that because
every time there is president extra
ordinarily popular lot Of fools boom
him for a third term.
For more than one hundred years
there has been an unwritten law that
a president shall serve two terms, and
no more, and to break down that un-
written law now will be exceedingly
dangerous. Therefore, am in favor
now of fixing it so it cannot be broken
"If a presidential term is made six
years / am in favor of making a term
in congress three instead of two years.
Then states falling into these rules
would have election every three
years"
Clark also favors electing both pres
idents and representatives in congress
on the last Monday in August and in
augurating the president and members
of congress on the first Monday in Oc-
tober.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DISREGARD INJUNCTION

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. A peculiar
situation developed here yesterday
when the Muskogee county commits
sioners let contracts for roads and
bridges to the amount of $150,OO0 in
violation of a court Injunction, while
Judge Mccain was out Of the city. The
present commissioners are republican.
The new commission, which goes in
a few days, is democratic and caused
an injunction to be issued against the
present officials, hoping to tie them
up until their time expired. The re-
publicans, however, ignored the court
order and may be fined for contempt.
