OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. Glow.
crnor Williams message to the lcgis-
lature will be quite lengthy. and while
not containing many suggestions as
TO new legislation IL Will be an cN-
hlustivc reflection Of the financial
condition Of the state how the differ
ont departments are being conducted
and what II Is costing the people of
the state IN its governmental affairs,
according to information today The
governor has only begun ON the mes
sage, but says he will have IL COM
plctcd and ready for presentation
when the assembly is ready for bust
ness.
The governor has received reports
from all departments of state and
knows how the work In each depart
mcnt Is being done. what the expense
is and what are the needs II any. Al
this the governor intends placing he
fore the Legislature in his message,

There are few new things that the

one of the most important bills that

Toibcrt's Plan.
Among the numerous systems by
which the judiciary Of the state could
be organized is one offered by District
Judge James Il. Tolbert OF kioWa
county, known ns one OF the foremost
judges IN the state and who has given
a great deal Of study to the methods
Of handling litigation in the courts.
Judge Tolbort proposes the orgaui2a-
ton OF five civil courts of appeal, with
three members each, to be located Mt
different places in the state. This is
after the Texas plan, though In rart
the plan was devised because that
state is SO large in area. Then Judge
Tolbert would reduce the supreme
court to three members. and the abol-
ishment of the supreme court COM
mission. The courts of civil appeal
would have the advantage Of per
manency. and being elective none but
the best timber obtainable would be
selected from for Justices.
Cut High Fee.
Reduction of the $40 fee for filing
cases in the high court Is also adNd-
Gated by Judge Tolbert who believes
that such fee as Is now charged for
filing instruments prevents many
worthy unforturates from access to
the high court, which he believes Is
wrong and that IT is In conflict in
spirit at least. with the bill Of rights,
that the courts shall bc open TO
every person.

THIS STOPS HAIR

Ever try to count, the dead fallen
hairs in your comb and brush? They
are natures advance warning of fu-
ture badness and proof that the
dangerous little dandruff germ Is
busy on your scalp.
DR. Sangerbund. the famous Paris
specials first discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by a
microbe. Then came the discovery of
the value of the real Partisan Sage
Uiquid form) in destroying the
dandruff germ and promptly prevent
ing the further loss of hair, The ef-
feet of only three days use of Partisan
Sage is simply marvellous. and the
American people have now awakened
to the fact that dandruff Is just as
unnecessary as 1t is unhealthy, and
that they can be quickly rid of 1t and
save their hair by using few ounces
of Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold for not moro
than so cents a large bottle at drug
and toilet counters everywhere. II is
an ideal. daintily perfumed liquid
free from grease and sickness, and
will surely cause hair to grow soft
lustrous and really seem twice as
abundant.
Quaker, Puritan and Baker Drug
stores always have a large supply, and
guarantee 1t to you.-Adv.

Specia! 70 The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 2f.-That
some radical change in the judiciary
system Of the state will be made 10y
the legislature which conVenes next
week, seems certain. Changes that
have been proposed suggest several
plans, any one Of which would be
more satisfactory than the present,
acc ording TO those who have offered
them Since the proposition of abol-
ishing the county courts, which was
defeated by the people at the primary
election in August, the matter Of
changing the system of the higher
courts OF the state has been discussed
not little.
with every proposition has come the
suggestion that the supreme court
commission be terminated. so ii seems
likely that if any of the proposed
methods be adopted, it means the
elimination of the commission This
latter seems to have caused dissatis-
faction. or at least, expression from
members Of the bar of the state would
indicate that the commission which
