ADVOCATES FOR AND
AGAINST ARE BUSY


Oklahoma city, NoV 29-Talk OF
a special session of the legislature has
somewhat dH.udled during the last
few days, and l. has even been pre-
licted that there viii be no sessioc.
Governor Williams maintains silence
on the subject. and says he will in
ycsugate further and see what the
people have to say about it. While
the governor started out to learn the
opinions of the members OF the legis-
laturo about the calling of an extra
session, he did not intend to stop
there, as events of the past few days
have shown From the members OF
the legislature he got expressions of
what things should be lesislated up
on and what should not.
But there is yet the chance that
lhe session will be called, and unless
something happens more than is
known OF at tais time, the legislature
win convene in January probably
about the 10th
Expressions have been received
from some members opposing the
special session They say there is no
need OF it at tnIs ume and that it
viii be a useless waste Of money.
There is nothing urgent now for leg
slatlon, they say, and it viii be
worse for the party to hold the ses
sion
Only the politicians seem to be ap-
prehensiye of the future as regards
The negro vote.
1t has been rumored that financial
interests were making a naTd fight
against the special sessoan because
Of the pressure that is being brought
to bear for some law against usury.
If there is anything in this, there is
hardly any limit to the pate1cy OF
sus position. Just how far it might
20, however in preventing the ses-
sion, is mot apparent, and it is not
believed this would control the gov
ernor in the least if he saw fit to call
the session.
Special session is not so common
among the state officials as some
weeks ago, when it was 3clieyed be-
yond any doubt that the session
would be called. There is consider
able division Of opinion among them
as to the necessity or wisdom Of a
session. With the election coming
on next year the Republicans are
making the fight of their lives and
with past differences between the Re-
publlcans and the Progressiyes patch
ed up it is believed there win be
chance for the Republicans to do
something this time
At any rate it is concened, that the
wave which started in favor of an
extra session Of the legislature has
subsidized to a considerable extent and
it is the belief of some who profess
to be next" that it is very likely
that the governor will decide at the
last minute not to call it.

FIRE HORSES IN 1918
Motor Drawn Apparatus Stands
More Wear and Tear. and
GasoIene Is Cheap.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-T'he New York
fire horse in 1918 will be extinct as the
dinoceras, the dinchthys. and other
animals Of that uncertain age. Today
there are only a thousand horses in the
fire department and following the pol
icy of replacing the animal with the
more practical motor driven vehicles.
the last horse will have disappeared in
three years from now.
Sentiment does not rum one two, or
three with municipal government
when it decides to be economical, and
frequent tests have shown that gaso-
lene is more reasonable than oats and
that the wear and tear on machinery Is
less than on horse flesh
The traction which is used to haul the
fire engines, costs $500 and the upkeep
is S4lA.60 q year. Three horses to do
the same work cost Sl,050, and 5000 n
year for upllcep. 4 tractor will last for
twenty years: "A horse seven.
One advantage of the motor drawn
apparatus, an advantage not 60 be de-
spised in the skyscrapper district is the
ease with which all the fire compan nics

Iron-ore prices generally were SO to

1905. The depression In the iron in
