The Woru's capital Correspondent.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 3O.--
NotWithtsanding reports to the con-
trary the legislature is iu a dead
lock and the chance of getting down
to an understanding Is small indeed
The senate has resolved itself into
a court that viii take care of things
in senatorial manner and the house
can not move without first asccr-
tanning what the senate intouds to
do. In other words, the admins
tration leaders of the senate havu re-
fused TO adjourn the court OF inn
pcaChmcnt and until that Is done
whosuevcr says anything against the
things done is ia danger OF being
tried FOR contempt OF court. Natural
~ no one desires TO bC tried for such
"A high crime, and just as naturally.
nothing Will bc said about that court
until after 1t has ceased to exist.
The World correspondent had filed
a dissenting opinion To that rendered
by the court, but he has reserved 1t
for the future. \ dissenting opinion
can be rendered at any time, and the
best time is when matters are being
| reviewed. our opinion could be
Vulgdriy described az a peach but
I the peach crop has been ruined by
I the cold weather and things VIII
/ just have 10 patter along until such
/ time as the weather agrees to be
more aeasOuahlc.
The house Of representative has
I not been unmindful OF the condi-
| tons existing over In the senate
IN truth, the house has kept n close
watch ON tho upper body since the
| beginning Of this legislative term
Never before was the senate more
| powerfully organized. You can look
! over the record and find little, but
| discerning people can secure the in
/ formation that the senate intends
! to perform according to schedule.
! There is trouDIc--lots OF IL. Scna-
/ tor l.. L. Hill of McAlestor Is the
| democratic floor leader and he is at
outs" with the Trapp organization
| in the senate. He was asked to re-
sign, ana that resignation was very
! promptly furnished, but as quickly
refused. Hili stood for hearing
/ of the case agains. Trap. No one
/ doubts has regularity. lie Is Z trans
lCondent figure in partisan matters,
| but he insisted that there should be
! u careful and final examination into
everything which was attacked. by
/ profession Hin is an attOrney--one
who practiscs the law in the courts
and it seens that he failed to grasp
/ the major points in the impeach-
ment case. 1t Is presumed that he
will get hold of the legal facts later
ana be able to master them sufli-
cicutly to arrive at happiness. AT
the present moment the McAlester
senator ~ trying to find out what
! happened and not overly cNultant
on account of the session.
/ However this impeachment case
and those to come does not prevent
/ the house and senate from passing
! a few measures. Naturally, those
which are now getting the major at
, tention are the appropriation bills
and they deserve their place on the
| bill OF fare. Not everybody can stand
up and take notice Of an appropria-
tion malady that calls for $26,0O0,-
900 and that is probably well for
the people at large.
II is now certain that the present
legislature is going to beat all ap.
preparation records. That need not
be construed as extraordinary for
the reason that each Legislature
which will follow will make a cor
responding increase. In truth, It
meanJ that every time the leg.sla-
ture appropriates 1t viii be on the
advancing scale.
That does not mean the money
should lie so appropriated, for 1t Is
not necessary. 1t does mean that
the 81 state institutions can organize
tho house and senate, and in order
