article 3 section 3, chip will make

preme court now has before It the
question of whether outside compan-
les can take Oklahoma gas If this
should be declared adversely to the
gas companies, il would be very nice
for them to have a constitutional
amendment to fan back upon. The

word transmission" before eom-
pany in the proposed amendment
would indicate chat they are afraid
the supreme court may hold against
