PROFIT BY WINDING
THE DRAGNET LAW

oklahoma City, Aug. 16.-Profiteer-
ing may not he crime, defined as such
in the statutes of oklahoma, but there
Is "A section in the Revised Laws OF
1910 under which, representatives of
the attorney generals department be.
leve. those suspected of extortion. sharp
practice, and, i'm brief, "profteering,"
can be prosecuted and convicted, pro
viding the evidence is sufficient, of II
misdemeanor. The section is sometimes
referred to as "thc dragnet law" II Is
Section 2.793, Revised Laws of 1910, and
reads as follows:
"2793. Injurious acts not expressly
forbidden. Any person who wilfully and
wrcngfully commits any act which
grossly Injuries the person or property
Of another, or which grossly disturbs
the public peace or health, or which
openly outrages public decency and is
injurious to public morals, although no
punishment is expressly prescribed
therefore by this chapter, is guilty of a
misdemeanor."
A fOotnotc recites: public peace
means the tranquility enjoyed by citi.
Zens of community where good order
reigns among its members. Disturb
ing the public peace is a violation of
a public order; an act of public inde.
corum is a breach of the peace. This
section is not uncertain in its terms.
Any act which is wilful and wrongful
and grossly disturbs the peace is with
in its terms
1t is pointed out that extortion, sharp
practices and unreasonable charges, lit.
orally "gouging" does disturb the
tranquility enjoyed by citizens of n com.
munity where good order reigns among
it's members" Inability to purchase
necessities or comforts of life at prices
which only afford reasonable profit is
it is cited, injurious to the public
health. 1t is believed that the half
dozen times under which this section
has been reviewed by the supreme court
and upheld establishes it and it's APP
plicability TO the offense of profiteering.
The section was copied from the
Dakota code, in 1890, and was included
in the revision which was adopted by
the First legislature of Oklahoma. 1t
was cited at the conference of county
attorneys as one which is employed in
the event that crimes are not well de
fined and was recommended to the
county prosecutors as a means of bring
ing profiteers into court under the pres
ent statutes.
