Guthrie Can't Sell old Capitol.

Guthrie's attempt to sell Capitol
park, on which is located Convention
aall, Oklahoma's first state capitol, 70
the Methodist university for educa-
tional purposes, was declared invalid
by the supreme court in an opinion by
Justice Turner. The proposed sale
was to include Convention hall.
The ten acres comprising Capitol
park was decided to the city by the
United States government for public
park purposes, and the court holds the
land cannot now be diverted to pri-
vate use.
This is the same land and building
which Guthrie sought to give the state
for state capitol building and
grounds in the last election at which
the capital location question was voted
on. The building was occupied by
state departments prior to the time
they were moved to Oklahoma City
and since then the Methodist univer.
sity has occupied the building

fire in Illinois several years ago, where
so many men lost their lives. The res

selves to unnecessary dangers in de-

The bureau has also applied for a
number of patents on processes for ex-
tracing vanadium. uranium and ra-
Gium from ores. such as carnotite ore
These processes are the result OF the
work Of the Denver (Colo) laboratory

pose is to reduce the cost of making
radium and to prevent the monopoly
which goes with the so-called secret
processes. The patents have been
asked for In the names of Richard B.
Moore, In charge of the Denver labora-
tory, and Karl Kithil, his assistant.
With the great demand for radlum in
the treatment of cancer, the bureau
OF mines looks upon this invention as
another possible means OF saving hui
man life. 1t is estimated that these
new methods will cut the cost of ra-
dunn fully one-half, and perhaps more.
They are to be for the use of any citi-
zen of the United States.
Still another engineer of the bu-
reau, Alfred c. Heggem, in charge Of
oil Investigations, has invented new
type OF valve to control casing heads
for oil wells, device that will at once
shut of the flow of gas or oil in a new
well and in that way stop the enor-
nous waste of these resources that
has been going on for years in the
United States. The new valve has
been tried out in the Cushing field OF
Oklahoma and has proved successful.
It is said that in the past 1t has been
difficult to control many of the wells
and that millions OF dollars worth OF
oil and gas have gone to waste. This
new device, which, like the other
patents, is to be dedicated to the pub
lie, is expected to stop much Of this
waste.

"eooze" Amendment Goes On Ballot.
A proclamation was issued by Gov
ernor Cruce last week, directing the
secretary of the state election board
to place on the ballot at the August
primary, the question of adopting or
rejecting the proposed constitutional
amendment, which would make drunk
enness on the part of a state official
grounds for impeachment and removal
from office. This is one of the five
constitutional amendments drafted
and proposed by Attorney General
West, and the only one against which
protest has not been lodged. The
other four are the ones reducing the
size of the legislature, establishing
one supreme court, fixing the maxi
mum state levy at two and one-half
mills, and providing a gross production
tax on oil and gas.

No qualification prescribed by the
Oklahoma constitution in terms
makes any distinction between the
sexes In the matter Of holding the Of
fee of county clerk, or for that mat
ter the clerk Of the district court, is
held In a decision of the supreme
court, the opinion being written by
Justice Turner.
The decision comes in the case Of
Mrs. John Stone" of Washita county
Who sought to mandamus the county
election board to permit her name
going on the ballot for the Office of
county clerk. When the election
board refused to allow her name to
go on the ballot she appealed to the
district court and the position Of the
election board was sustained. Then
she appealed to the high court. The
lower court is 'reversed and directed
tc grant the mandamus.
According to the opinion of the
court there is no distinction in this
state between the sexes in the matter
of qualified voter. ''If the legisla.
ture intended to disqualify on &C
count of SEX" says the court, at
would have used the word 'elector
instead of voter"

Women Are Voters.

Any person who is qualified to vote
at school election is a qualified vot
er, in the terms Of the constitution
and the statutes and any qualified
, voter may hold the office of county
clerk, SO holds the court, for there
is no distinction between sexes in the
qualifications of a voter, such as
there may be relative to an elector,
for the latter would clearly refer to a
male citizen.
In previous case involving
practically the same question, al
though it pertained to the office of
clerk Of the district court, the SUI
preme court held that there was no
distinction in the qualifications of
a voter, and what was said in that
case applies in this" says the court
