sional Reapportiontnent

Oklahoma City, Feb. Passing the
Williams free text book bill in COM
mittee of the whole in the house, and
the Roddie banking bill in the senate
constituted about all of any import
ance in the legislature Tuesday.
The banking bill was short of the
provision whereby national banks, ex-
cept those in a regularly accepted re-
serve center, shall become reserve
agents of banks under the guaranty
plan. The bill went through with the
governors suggestion that he, with
two appointed by himself, shall be the
banking board. The provision where
by the banking commissioner should
receive $4,000 a year salary was ad-

in getting evidence to convict and have
come to trial showing that they are
fully prepared.
Therefore be it resolved: That the
Vinita Law and Order League show its
appreciation thereof by letting these
officers know we heartily endorse the
work that they have been doing and
that they may feel that the Law and
Order League is behind them as long
as they continue as now, and we feel
satisfied they will, that we pledge our
selves to assist and cooperate with
them in any way we can in seeing that
the various laws are enforced which
will tend to make Craig county and
Vinita a better place to live in; and
that copy of this be placed on the
minutes of the meeting and that a
copy be sent each gentleman and that
the papers of the city be asked to pub
lish same.

Woodson. Webb, McClintock, Jayne,
Champion, Coyne, Kerr, Coughlin,
Jones, Edwards, Killiam, Tooley and
Smith, of Creek, the latter two being
the only republicans on the committee.
From now on this will be the most
important committee in the house.
Two redistricting bills have already
been introduced in the house.
The sheriffs' fee bill was signed by
the senate yesterday and that sends
the bill to the governor.
A resolution was adopted thanking
United States Senator Gore for lib
eral supply of garden seeds.
The house passed favorably on the
bill providing for the creation of new
counties. With amendments put into
the bill, new counties may be created
when 81 per cent of the qualified vot-.
ers of given territory to be affected
petitions for an election, and when so
per cent of the voters have asked for
the division the new county shall be
created, provided it is within the con-.
stitutional requirements which are thes
same as in the present laws.

opted. The senate considered the rail-
way employers bill for a short time
before adjournment.
Williams free text book bill was
thoroughly discussed in the house.
Considerable opposition was gathered
to the measure, started by Edwards,
who argued that the fact of rotating
the books from one scholar to another
after they had been used was not very
good, from sanitary standpoint of
view. The fact that the poor chill
dren would have to accept the old
books used by another also entered
into the argument against the particu-
lar bill, but the principle of the thing
was right.
A new section added to the bill by
Anthony, provides for an appropria-
tion of $500,000 for the bill for the
years ending July 80, 1912 and 1913.
The state is to furnish the money to
each district in the state applying for
funds with which to supply the books.
A provision for supplies for the chill
dren, was cut out today.
Speaker Durant of the house Sc
lected the committee on congressional
reapportionment, consisting of An
