Eighty Legislators Proposed

The West measure provides for a
! legislature of eighty men who shall
delegate to fifteen of their number
the power to remain in session all
the time and legislate, allowing bien-
| nial sessions of the full legislature,
with power to review the laws enacted
by the fifteen after they shall have
become operative.
The only reform that will be effect
i've in the judiciary said Gov. Cruce,
'as | see it, is an amendment to the
constitution that will limit the right
of appeal to the higher courts. 1t is
going to cause court delays and con-
gest the docket as long as the right
of appeal continues to be as broad as
it is at this time. 1t is folly to permit
the courts. What Oklahoma needs is
law giving final jurisdiction to the
county and district courts, except in
ordinary occasions. AS the law now
stands, the justice of the peace is the
only judicial officer who has final
jurisdiction. In his courts small mat
ters may be decided and no appeal is
allowed. The rest of the Judiciary
ought to be given equal powers in
most cases. This would afford relief
from the courts delays"
Proposed Increase of Courts.
The initiated bill increases the SUI
preme court and merges the criminal
court of appeals with it. 1t also per
mits the chief justice to draft any idle
district judges to sit in the supreme
court 1t does not limit appeals, but
attempts arbitrarily to compel the
court to decide all cases in six months
after they shall be appealed.
81 do not believe in the impeach-
ment method of removing officials"
said the governor. Removal of state
officials ought to be by the courts as
provided in other cases. Impeachment
may! be and frequently is brought
through personal feeling and as a
result of political differences. While
a common thief may have a trial by
jury that must render a unanimous
verdict, an impeachment proceeding
may be originated in the tribunal that
must try it and two-thirds of the ac.
cusing body has power to convict"

ro Railroad Spends $535,O0O to San'' 1uca Grand Canyon of Ari- N,p ,pona-Panama Canal Shown
 A.tual Working Model.

oute a bit of concession division of
 Sponama-Pacifc International EX- 'n' :.;on at San Francisco has been pvs 'aloted and is already opened to tVl'r mublic even thought the exposi- ss ''. will not be formally opened until ssvt a February. The amusement fea- l. ..o. are in this section, which is ,aoun m as the Znoe, and never before ns n money spent so lavishly on con { ..,ors The Union Pacific railroad h.s spent s550O00 in reproduction af tbe Yellowstone park, even to the .,n,ous Friendship Inn. The Sante Fe has spent $535,000 to reproduce the Grand Canyon of Arizona, even to a l.,ce village of Navajo Indians. A cbicago concern has reproduced the Panama canal with an actual working model. at a cost of $250,000.
 In adition to these scenic produc- tons there is the Creation of the World, representing an outlay of S2OOOO. There is also the Evolution If the Dreadnaught, showing the prog TESS of the modern battleship from the dav of the fighting galley; the Days of the Forty Miners, a camp showing the miner with a pick and shovel, the dance hall and all features of an early California village, even to the pony express; the Oriental Village the Toy land. Grownup. The last feature is the most expensive of all, costing S1,- 5O0,0OO and features on an elaborate scale Mother Goose Characters, and fairies.
 The distinctive feature of the Ori- ental Village will be the absence of the usual dancing girls. The conces- 'sOnaries expect to make this village distinctive Of the Orient, which they say is not done by the usual dancing exhibitions.
 In addition to these concessions there will be scenic railways racing coasters, ostrich farms, alligator farms, baby ncubators, and Irish, So moan, Austrasian, Chinese, Japanese, Tehauntapec and German villages, all faltfully depicting the customs, daily lie and pastimes of the people.

SHORT OF AMMUNITION
6. O. r. Has No Material for a Cam paign Text Bo0k-Futile to Criti- else Wilson Administrations in Sorry Plight.

Washington, D. c. Oct. 24-Dem- ocrats were amused at the report cir culated today that the Republican Con- gressional Campaign Committee will not issue a text book this year be- cause of the failure of the committee to agree on the line of attack.
 The split occurred, it is stated, when one element sought to assail the Un- derwood- Simmons Tariff law and the banking and currency act. Several members of the Republican organiza- tlon voted for these two measures, as did many other Republicans and they refused to condemn laws which they had approved.
 Republicans secretely admit that they have absolutely no basis for cri- ticising the Wilson Administration or the record of the Democrats in Cong ress, and least of all the tariff and cur mercy laws, both of which have been commended to the country.
 Until the European war drove them off the front pages of even the stand pat Republican organs, small coter- ie of Republicans in the House and Senate crowded the Congressional Re cord with "panic" speeches, plainly intended for use in their textbooks.
 But the hoped-for panic did not materialize and the minority has been at loss for campaign ammunition. Opposition to the war revenue mea- sure is now being used as eleventh hour talking point"
 ''The country is with Wilson and any attempt to critcise him or his record would only make us rediculous," said one Republican today. Unless the Democrats are apathetic in November or remain away from the polls because of overconfdence, I can see only repetition of the results of two years Iago.
 "We cannot attack the currency law, for its worth has been proved with in the last Aw weeks. It would be fool-hardy to attempt to convince the people that they should return to the Payne -Aldrich tariff classifcations They would laugh at us."
 In the meantime the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is keeping a force of committee employ ees busy filling orders for the Demo- cratic textbook, containing the unas- sailable record of achievements of the Wilson administration.

NO COMPETITION IN
 COMMERCIAL LIGHTING

Little Rock, Oct. 24.-There is no longer any competition in commercial lighting in Little Rock. About two years ago franchise was granted by the city council to the Merchants Lighting Company, local corporation A plant was put in and service pro- vided for large downtown patron age. For time there was a sharp competition between that and the old concern, the Little Rock Railway x Electric Company, but finally vanish ed. Friday the final act occurred, when the Merchants Lighting Com pany surrendered it's charter to the Secretary of State, the surrender be- ing certified by Ed. Cornish president, and C. E. Rose secretary.
 The physical property and assets of the Merchants Lighting Company were sold to Bertron-Griscon Com. bankers of New York, and in turn were transferred to D. H. Cantrell, the Little Rock attorney, who is coun- sel for the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company. The property will next be transferred by Mr, Cantrell to the railway company which thereby becomes sole purveyor of commercial lightpig in the city. It is stated that the franchise remains in the hands of the original grantee. The amount of the purchase price is not made public
