SCRUB BULL BILL
LOSES OUT IN The
SESSIONS LAST HOUR
Staff Correspondence


Oklahoma City. March Ex-senator
Fred L. fuckers Scrub Bull Bill
failed Of enactment, and thereby hangs
a tale. There had been some appre-
hension on the part Of the friends Of
the measure relative to the houses ac-
tion. 1t was particularly feared that in
a facetious moment the members Of
the lower body would inflict the bill
with "amenditis," but only one humor-
Gus alteration was proposed, seeking
to show in the law that ii would not
apply to members of the legislature
Late Saturday afternoon the friends
of Senate Bill No. 304 which was the
exact description Of the measure by
which it was sought to enact the plan
Of j. Robert Gillian Of Ardmore to pro
tect and develop the advancement of
high bred cattle, We're told that the
house was going to take the matter up
soon and would get quick action upon
it.
Late Saturday night the Scrub Bull
Bill made its way to the senate but it
was little like the measure which was
passed by the upper body. The house
had only" stricken all after the enact
ing clause and substituted for the re
mainder Senator Simpsons Blue Sky
Law. 1t was explained that the emer.
gency section in the Blue Sky law had
failed of passage and it was an effort
to make the act Immediately effective
and thereby halt the possibility of al
effort to force a referendum vote upOr
| it, This could take up the effective
ness Of the Blue Sky Law for tw,
/ years
The senate granted the house a con
ference on the Scrub Bull Bill "a
amended" but the hour was too lat
TO hope for an agreement and both tn,
/ Gillian pet and the hope Of TN
friends of the Blue Sky Law to max
it Immediately effective faded away.
