unique.

the board OF education, 1t would be
unlawful for anyone to exhibit a film,

charities and corrections. In the
event the exhibitor Is dissatisfied with
the action Of the commissioner, he
can take an appeal to the entire board
or censorship, as named above.
A State License.
Under the terms of the bill, no
vaudeville, opera or other play where
an entrance fee is charged, could be
shown without first having obtained
license from the commissioner of
charities and corrections, and for ev-
cry license so issued the commissioner
must charge fee OF s25.
Senator Davidson OF Tulsa has In
troduced a bill to amend section 2,
chapter 40 of the session laws of
1901, providing for the creation OF
new counties, election of officers
thereof, the altering or changing of
county lines and the original loca-
tion Of county seats In such counties.

consist OF not less than four hun
fired square miles of taxable area,
and have a population of not less
than 900 people and taxable wealth
not less than two and one-half mil
lion dollars.

majority Of the residents in the ter
ritory asking to be annexed for some
time.
