he shouted, "thc cnormity Of this bill.
II carries a total appropriation Of
$296,397 and stlll they want TO add
further items. God in heaven only

schools TO live within their appropri-
auons. ! want 10 teach the managers
OF these institutions that they must
stay within the law"

ground that no money was needed to
enforce the provisions of the oil con
scryation bill

Of that bill" declared Sykes, de
clared upon the floor when the mca-
sure was passed that it would not
cost the taxpayers Of the state one
dollar TO enforce it, The oil men of
this state have been paying the eX-
penSo OF enforcing the corporation
commissions orders in the oil fields
