to secure assistance in passing other
bills, or eleeting officers of the legis-
lature.
Muskogee Bill Favored.
The Muskogee fail bill came out of
judiciary number with six members,
Wyand, Hill, Teehee, Peery, Chase
and Sherman, all from the east side,
recommending its adoption, and with
Wright, Lewis and King, of the west
side, on record in the committee as
having opposed it. No minority report
was made, although Mr. Wright did
endeavor to get into it an amendment
to give Oklahoma City the same right
to award premiums and prizes in the
name of the state; he will fight for his
amendments on the floor.
The statement is repeatedly made by
the Muskogeeans that they viii not
ask any appropriation from the legis-
lature, either this season or any other,
and that they seek to get the name OF
the state back of their fair primarily
to get some of the federal appropria-
tons for authorized state fairs, and to
increase the desirability of their prem
iums and prizes.
A proposed constitutional amend
ment by Senators Austin, Echols and
Pugh, and Representative Morris and
MeCrory, under which the district
courts would be wiped out, and the
supreme court, county superior courts
and courts of the justice of the peace,
with certain increased powers, would
be the judicial system, went into the
house hopper.
