Oklahoma Voters Initiate Laws

Oklahoma City, Ok, March 28.--
The most interesting and far-reaching
of the initiated bids upon which the
people are making their petitions, is
the general revenue measure that the
attorney general is fostering. 1t is not
being indorsed by the voters as rapid
,y as its friends would like, and there
IS but a month more in which the
signatures may be secured. Lack Of
interest rather than opposition to its
provisions, is taken to be the cause of
slow returns. A special effort will be
made from this time to secure the
rest of the needed 1000 signatures.
