this measure to be fair with all parties
and if there may chance to be any dis
elimination in the matter it will be
found to be in the interests Of the OIL
people. This law, Senator Q'Neill says,
is like all other matters, moro or less
a compromise measure. Some oil men
come before the legislature in person,
together with some of the members
who are identified with the oil inter,
ests Of the state, protesting against
the per cent ad valorem basis of tax
ation "But, said the senator, I'VE had
many others, both producers and mem
bers Of the assembly Interested in the
oil production Of The state, who ad
mitted that the basis fixed was fair
and a reasonable one
Referring to the election law passed
at the extra session, the senator stat
cd that this law is absolutely fair and
just One OF the provisions of the law
requires a general registration OF
voters Of the state within a reasonable
time and in the future the "importa-
tion of voters from Kansas and Ar
kansas will be impossible" Under the
provisions Of the new law it has been
seen to, the senator stated, that @the
intelligent citizenship will control the
states affairs"
He declared that insurmountable bar
riers have been aised which will pre-
vent smart poli,- clans of any political
party going into the primary of another
party and voting for and securing the
nomination of the weaker candidate in
that party only to later aid in enconi-
passing his defeat in the general cleo
ton by supporting the candidate of the
other party.
A "literacy test measure will.
Senator O'Neill stated, ccme before the
voters OF the state for adoption as an
amendment to the constitution.
Another important measure adopted,
the senator stated, was that which
calls for the establishment and opera
tion Of a twine factory at the state pen
itentiary.
Another measure OF Importance to
the state at large. Senator O'Neill said,
was enlargement Of the state peniten-
tiarv at Granite This will enable the
state to find employment for num-
ber Of its charges in breaking stone
to be used for road building.
A measure introduced and passed by
Tie senate, provided for working about
500 convicts, now inside the prison
walls. in the coal mines. This measure
was defeated in the house through the
efforts Of organized labor.
Provision was made for working con
yicts on the public roads under 2 sys-
tenn which provides for the payment
hy the counties Of the excess for the
maintenance Of the convicts over tue
expense which might be required to
maintain them inside the prison walls

the bill was passed without an emer-
gency clause It would not become oper-
ative for 80 days and cannot, therefore
affect the situation in very material

In speaking of the law which calls
for a cross production tax on oil, Sena-
tor O'NeiH stated that it would cause
IN average of 100000 to flow an
nually into the state treasury, thereby
reducing the burden Of taxation now
borne by the general public. The rate
Of 8 per cent on the gross production
does not, the senator ayerred, impose
on the oil interests an undue burden.
