The senate Thursday afternoon
had not disposed of the resoutior
questioning the right OF Senator G.
a. Dearmon OF the Fifteenth Dis
trict to a seat in the body. TIE reso
luton points out certain restrictions
against member of the Senate ac
cepting appointments under the
State and asserts that the Senator
from Grady county has been en-
p'oyed in the State Highway De
partment drawing salary of $3.50
month; that the Senator accepted
the position under the Highway
Commissioner who Is an appointee
OF the Governor. The resolution went
over to another day under the rule
and was not debated.
Another resolution was to unseai
Senator Clark Nichols of Eufaula,
on the ground that the proclamation
issued by the Governor fixing au
election on the regular election datr
in the Senator's district was illegal
and therefore the election of the Sen.
ator illegal. This also went over
under the rule without debate.
While of short duration the con.
slderation of the school questions
made it plain that abolishing schools
probably will be left to some other
Legislature. Committee reports on
the bill by Senator Hill to abolish
six of the State schools as such and
convert the, buildings into use for
disabled soldiers, were presented by
the committee on city and State af.
fairs A majority report was offered
by Senator (Mrs.) Looney that the
bill do not pass. Adoption of this re-
port would kill the bill. Senator Wa
lace offered a minority report that
the bill do pass, adoption of which
would result in the bill being printed
and placed on the calendar for fur
ther consideration.
The schools sought to be abolished
are the Schools of Mines both at
Wilburton and Miami, District Agr..
cultural Schools at Tishomingo and
Lawton, School of Technology at
Tonkawa and the Oklahoma Military
Academy at Claremore.
