OkllnOfll Olll, hIItu IN IHS
early days Of the present session OF
the Legislature and Immediately pre-
cedng the session there was much
talk of abolishing the state corpora
ton commission. But the talk died
out, and for something like month
practically nothing has been heard OF
il. There was. accordingly, i con
siderable element of surprise in the
attack launched on the commission yes
terday when the senate took up
consideration Of the appropriation for
that department Tor the next two tls-
cal years.
Up to that time, the senate had
progressed rather smoothly in its work
on the general budget bill for state de-
partments. There had been no sub
stantial opposition manifested to ap-
propriations, even from the republi-
can side, in Cact, the first amend
meut suggested to the bill was one
which would increase the fund for the
governor to use in preparation of the
next buiget, and it came from re-
publican. T.. H., Woods Of claremore
| Woods thought the appropriation for
special compensation IN relation to the
preparation OF the budget should be
81. 500 in 1929 instead OF $500; ths
amendment was adopted.
G. H. Iecdy of Arnett. republican
offered an amendment TO strike out
The appropriation for the pardon and
parole department. but It was not
supported even by u considerable por-
ton of his fellow republicans. Joe
Sherman, republican floor leader. pro
posed to strike out the appropriation
for the salary OF the lieutenant-gover-
nors secretary. but this amendment
failed. I.eedy moved TO strike out an
appropriation OF $4,000 In the budget
OF the state banking department.
which would constitute Il revolving
ulnd "to be used TO protect equities
of the state in properties on which
the state may acquire liens" the mo-
tion lost.
The bin had provision for salaries
OF eight law clerks for the supreme
court at $1,000 u year each. Glen
Horner republican, Of okmulgee. call
ed attention to the law fixing these
salaries ut $1,000 u year.
There was an amusing demonstra'
tion ON the part OF certain democrats
of hunting UP the law on this point
and a display Of innocence of any
prohibition against $500 salaries for
law clerks. But II ended in the accep.
tance OF the amendment TO make the
salaries $500.
Thus the bill rocked along without
any large difficulty, until the appro-

The senate yesterday after verbal

funds for the commission. An amend

limited the appropriation to the sala-

render the commission imperative by
