In the course of the debote SEN
ator Chase Of Nownta toId hny, oxnn-
rience is valuable and noted that
stenographers who work several years
in one office become moro yaluabIe
Senator Barrett said this ala NOT o.
incide with his observations, which
are that a stenographer for a single
man usually marrleS him before four
years and stenographer for a mar
ried man is usually changed before
four years on advice of the mans
wife.
The gas bill was passed in the SEN
ate after the time for debate had been
extended twice by suspension of the
rules Senator Davidson offered an
amendment to the conservation sec
| tiOn which provided that drillcrs shall
be exempted from the rules in the dis
erection of the corporation commits
sion. The amendment was killed SEN
atOr Davidson said that without the
amendment the bill will confiscate
millions Of dollars Of oil property in
! Oklahoma by making it impossible to
operate owing to the waste of gas that
would follow operation creating
breach of the law. He voted against
the bill and his name was stricken
from the measure as one Of the au-
thorS.
In his opposition to the amendment
Senator Davis of Sapulpa said IF the
amendment is not a joker calculated
to kill the bill then | never saw a
joker in all my legislative experience"
The bill was passed by a vote of
35 to 3.

one of the jokes of the session was
a report by Senator McMechan for a
special committee, which recommend
ed that the application of II. w.
Vance to become a legislative agent
under the lobbying law be granted.
The senate adopted the report. The
application of Mr.. Vance, who rep
resents railroad employees, was made
at the beginning Of the session. Oppo-
sition came from a member of con
gress who was member of the last
senate and the senate Democrats eau
