The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1913-01-02

size OF this item is the fact that the
constitution OF the state eRdeavored
to be very liberal with its citizens In
granting them the right OF appeal, the
result Of which has been to cover the
dockets of the higher courts with in
umerable cases Of minor Importance
In order to remedy this without the
exigency OF special initiative bill 1t is
probable that the coming legislature
will pass a law regulating fees and
and costs bynds which will have a ten
dencY to preclude the appeal of minor
cases.

be penurious with public buildings IL
as much as the federal governmen,
had granted a rich endowment of land
for that purpose and these improve.
ments did not come out of the reve.

members of the legislature that the
sooner adequate permanent institu
tions could be builded and equipped
the more the saving affected to the in
dividual taxpayer,
