Pros Have Two Bills UP.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 16.-Prohibi-
tionists are supporting two measures
before the legislature, one repealine
the Taylor law providing for special
ballot title under which the grand
father clause to the constitution was
adopted, and the other amending the
present prohibitory law.
The Taylor ballot title has been
generally misunderstood in its ap
plication, the belief being that it ap-
plies to all matters submitted to a
vote of the people by the legislature
1t only applies to such measures as
are initiated by the people after the
measures have been suggested by a
resolution of the legislature. Under
such circumstances a proposition be-
ing submitted would have but one
question: "Shall the amendment be
adopted?" In order to vote against
it the elector would have to draw a
pencil line through the words, other
wise it would be counted in the af-
firmative. Under the procedure
many voters intending to vote against
the measure were counted for it be-
cause they failed to Grass the line.
Prohibtionists fear that some time
resolution might be put through the
legislature suggesting to the people
that a repeal of prohibition be in
itiated, which would give the af-
firmative side of the question, ad-
vantages of the ballot question. Bills
for repeal Of the Taylor law are in
both houses.
Proposed amendments to the prohi
bition law offered in the senate by
Senator Franklin! and in the house by
Mr.. Mitchell of Garvin county, re
vive some of the questions before
the last legislature, and tend to make
penalties for violations of the law
more severe against the keepers oi
joints. 1t is made a felony in the
bill to conduct a Joint, and this is
construed to reach the porters ant
bartenders as we'll as the proprietors
The citizen who is in the resort al
the time Of the raid is not to he
molested other than as the present
law provides.

Oklahoma City. Jan. 1.-two cases
of meningitis in the state penitentia-
ry have been reported to the state
commissioner of health, DR.. ]. c.
Mahr, and the department Is cooper
ating in every way with the prison
officials to hold in check this conta
gious disease. The two convicts who
are victims of the disease were sent
to the penitentiary from the Musko
gee jail. 1t is believed that the
prisoners contracted the disease while
confined in the jail.
In statement Thursday DR.. Mahr
said that the only way to prevent
infectious and contagious diseases
from the penal and eleemosynary in
stitutions of the state Is to provide
detention cottages where the inmates
can be held for sufficient time to
insure protection to the other in
mates. DR.. Mahr said that he had
recommended to the legislature a
bill which would require this proceed
ure and stated that the present cases
of meningitis in the penitentiary af
forded a proof of his contentious.

cRUcE URGES THOROUGH WoRK
II Legislative Probes Are Made They
Should Be Made Right.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 16.-If the
Legislature proposes to make an in
vestigation, it should be thoroughly
done, is the position expressed by
Governor Cruce to a committee of
house members who called on him
today.
"The people sent the legislators
here to attend to their business"
said the governor, "and If they con-
clpde some or all departments should
be investigated they should do the
work thoroughly, to the end of letting
the people know. If all the com
mittees contemplated by the many
resolutions offered in both branches
are appointed / expect the action
contemplated by the Smith resolution
would be best; otherwise, 40 per cent
Of the membership might be on such
committee work, and interfere with
the work of the legislature"
