rule was applied in the Oklahoma sem
ate today.
That body voted to work tor the
remainder Of the session under the
rule adopted for the consideration Of
the budget bill, which limits debate
to 10 minutes for each side on amend
ments and debatable motions. The mo-
ton TO adopt this rule for the remain
der of the session was made by II. =.
quest Of the committee on rules. There
was objection from some of the sena-
tors who occupy back seats, on the
ground they would be cut off from
speaking due to difficulty in getting
recognition.
There wa bare twO-thi y majority
of the senate present when ihe body
was called to order shortly after IL
o'clock this morning. As result
no bills were called up for final pass
age, work being confined to considera-
tion of bills in general order. Most
OF these were local bills, and were ad-
vanced to third reaiing without much
argument.
A house bill seeking to create an adj
ditional judicial district composed OF

(By Special Correspondent

Oklahoma City, March 5.-The bud
get bill is at last ready for final
passage by the senate. 1t was ad-
vanced to engrossment an1 third read
ing yesterday after most Of the after
noon had been spent discussing
amendments. The total sum II seeks
to appropriate for the support Of state
department the next two fiscal years
has not been computed since the
amendment stage. Senator r. l.. Dav-
idson, chairman OF the appropriations
committee. says he will have the TO-
tails ready today.
Before the senate began TO amend.
the bill carried an appropriation of 49,
4s5 .24O.1S for 1922 and s3,329,921 for
1923. These figures have been increas-
ed slightly by the senate amendments.
Davidson says.
The fight on appropriations for the
military department was continued yes
terday afternoon AS substitute for
the amendment proposed by Morton
Rutherford the night before. Senator
W. II. Woods offered an amendment
cutting down the contingent fund of
sIO0, 900 TO $4,000 for each year Sen
ator Holloway sati If the amendments
were adopted the usefulness OF the adj
jutant generals department would be
seriously impaired. II was brought
out that the appropriation made by

ment was about half that provided in
the present BILL that two years ago,
the Oklahoma national guard number
cd approximately l,2O0 men, while
within the coming biennium the en-
rollment Is expected to reach 5000.
After much discussion a compromise
was proposed by Senator Harrison In
the form VI an amendment reducing

$50. 600 year This was adopted. Then
followed attacks on the item OF Ss5,
600 for "A storage warehouse for ma

item finally was approved. In tn,
course OF the argument, jed johnson
said quantity OF munitions were
,J,6w stored in the basement OF the
capitol-enough to blow the building
into Kingdom come-and different
storage place was needed.
Senator Carlock succeeded In putting

The newspaper added, however that
Mr.. Harding's address, contained no
more nor less than il said"
Emphasis was laid on Mr.. Harding s
protectionist intentions by the Echo
de Paris, which said:
THAT perhaps was the most posi-
tive part of the speech. The line of
conduct Mr.. Hardings government
