not dispose Of his oil on the terms
which are offered He is willing to
accept the price if that is the best
deal that can be had, although he be-
lieves it to be worth more but the
thing he most seriously objects to is
the pro-rating of the runs of earthen

He says his wells would have to be
shut in for several months and by that
time they would be dead, and he
would lose his fresh oil production.

AND NO ELECTION CERTIFICATES
WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL THAT

COMPLYING WITH THE LAW.

Oklahoma City, Nov. l9.-For the
first time in the history of Oklahoma
that portion of the constitution which
provides that the legislature shall can
yass election returns and declare the
result, is to be carried out, according
to a statement issued Wednesday af
ternoon by Secretary Joe Morris of
the state election board.
The state election board, it is an
nounced, will not issue certificates of
election to any candidates in the re
cent election, except to members of
the state and national house and sen
ate, until after the legislature has
canvassed the returns and declared
the result, as provided by the consti-
tuition.
1t is considered necessary by the
board to issue certificates to the mem
bers of the legislature, inasmuch. as
they are required by the constitution
to act in an official way in canvassing
the vote on other state officers.
This provision of the constitution
has never been followed to the letter
Heretofore it has been the custom of
a joint meeting of both branches on
the first day of the session to accept
returns certified by the state board
and declare the result accordingly.
The statement issued by Mr., Morris,
which explains the position of the
board, follows:

HARD TO COMPLY WITH
LAW IN GRANT COUNTY


Santa Fe. oct. THE difficulties
that county superintendents must
cope with were illustrated today by d
letter from Miss Isabel Eckles,
superintendent of Grant county. The
state board of education, in conform
ity with statute, requires every coun-
ty superintendent to visit each Of the
districts in his county, at least once
year and Superintendent White is
at present calling for reports on this
mandatory action from each superin-
tendent.
Miss Eckles writes that on account
of the war, the 1l Paso and South
western has reduced its train service
so that the only feasible way to visit
the districts of Animas. Rodeo, Ha-
chita, Playas. Cloverdale, Lone Wal
nut and Walnut Wells is by automo-
bile. and even then she can give each
school only half an hour in order to
make the trip in four days The cost
will be an entire months salary and
since she is getting poorer every day
she asks to be relieved of the duty
of visiting those districts until the
European war is over and she can
have the less expensive train service
from LOrdsburg to lIachita.
