Brokers are paying 80 cents per BUSH
ell for them. Last fall hundreds of
bushels of tubers were stored in
Broadkiln and Lewes and Rehoboth

would prevail as high as one year ago,
but the sudden depression under which
the country now is passing sent the
price down and as result growers had
hundreds of bushels left on their

Oklahoma City, Feb 11.-Divorces.
dogs, deficiency certificates, and hos
pitals were some Of the principal sub
jects considered by the Legislature
yesterday After the sensations Of
the first half of the week, It was
almost such day as q novelist once
described: Full Of events, empty Of

The bigamy bill, passed by the sen
ate some time ago, was taken up by
the house in committee Of the whole
early in the afternoon, hotly debated,
and killed. The bill leyying Il tax
on dogs, by d. S. Hoover, of Ard
more, l.. \. Eyerhart OF Bickford,
and Il. h. Beck Of jefferson, was
recommended for passage by the com
mittee of the whole. The senate pass
ed the bill providing for leasing the
Clinton sanitorium TO the government
for the care Of tubercular world war
veterans, and voted an appropriation
OF 100000 to make additions to the
present plant
The hospital bill, which bears the
name OF Mrs. Lamar Looney OF Hol-
49, "A2 NsNiA-I w lllt Stu4lt ".
Senator Nichols OF Eufaula. In its
original form, the bill called for all
appropriation OF $4,000 for additions
to the hospital. The house passed IL
with this provision. Tom Simpson
OF Thomas presented an amendment
increasing the appropriation to 5000
900. This called for protest from tho
Republican side of the senate. Bill
Briggs Of Woodward and l. Il. Woods
OF Claremore wanted to know why
the original sum should be increased.
They were told Maj. Hugh Scott OF
the war risk insurance bureau and
a. X. Lewis, state health commis-
sioner, approved the larger sum and
thought it would be needed. There
seemed 10 be a suspicion there might
be q hitch in the program OF cooper
alton with the federal government
and the state might be in the position
of spending 100000 merely on
sanitorium to be used for any tuber-
culars: in other words, that the ap-
preparation would De merely for the
Clinton sanitorium instead OF for the
relief Of tubercular soldiers. II. y.
Hill Of McAlester, proposed an amend
ment providing that no more than
$4,000 Of the appropriation could be
spent before the contract was made
with the United States government
and Simpson accepted this proylso To
his amendment. Glasser offered q
substitute amendment that would pro-
hibt any OF the appropriation being
used before the contract was made,
but this was tabled. Tho Simpson
amendment, as amended by Hill was
adopted. The bill was advanced to

Screened away from Marion by the

held at bay for three weeks while
Mr., Harding was on vacation, the rush
OF the job-hungry and the hobby
riders promises now to assume the
proportions OF a deluge. It's force Is
not softencd by the circumstances
that Republicanism has not tasted Of
the plums Of patronage for eight
long and weary years.
With just three weeks remaining be-
fore the advent Of the new adIninls-
tration, Mr.. Harding's appointment
list, even after it has been boiled down
and spread out to dry by his secre-
taries, has assumed large proportions.
Ot course, many of those who have
engagements t. see him have been
summoned for consultation on various
problems, but the president-elect prides
himself on being a good listener and he
wants to be accessible to everyone.
Consequently a goodly proportion OF
the people he feels compelled to see
are those who want something for
themselves or for their friends, and
who insist on presenting their cases
even though the selection Of cabi-
net and a preparation of an inaugural
address must wait.
Despite the influx of visitors. how
ever, Mr.. Harding expects to keep a
part of each day for work of his own
choosing, and another for recreation
To offset his heavy list today he ar
ranged golf game for the afternoon
and planned to take an automobile
ride before dinner

HOUSE AND SENATE

Oklahoma City, Feb ll.-Support-
ers of the bill authorizing the state
10 lease the sanitarum at Clinton for
the use of former service men suffer-
ing from tuberculosis today turned
again to the lower house OF the ok
lahoma legislature to see their pro-
ject completed. The senate yesterday
passed the bill. The house had pre-
viousy taken such action, but had
found it necessary to reconsider in
order to correct technical fault in
the bill. Inasmuch as the original ac-
tion was overwhelmingly in favor of
tho measure, il is believed the hos
pital bills final passage is assured
The senate yesterday was thrown
into an uproar by the finding Of two
anonymous letters on each members
desk signed tax payers" which de-
clared that certain senators should
be expelled from their seats because
they held other state positions be-
fore becoming members Of the legis-
lature. During the barrage Of invect-
iySs laid down by members Of the
body on the unknown author of the
letters, Senator Wallace Of Pauls
Valley moved that the bill making it
a felony for a legislator to hold a
state position be called from com.
mittee. After order had been restored,
II. l.. Davidson, in the chair, ruled
that the bill should be called out Of
committee and placed on the calendar.
An appropriation bill aggregating
sl2 ,397 ,550.93 to meet the expenses
of all state institutions for the next
two fiscal years was introduced in the
house yesterday by Ben Il. Harrison.
The bill follows the outline given by
Governor Robertson in his budget.
Mr.. Harrison said the bill is not the
final product Of the committee but
is to serve as a basis for final action.
The first night session of the pres
ent session of the legislature will be
held next Tuesday night by the lower
house, when it will consider the bill
dealing with flood prevention and
drainage BY a special vote taken
today at the suggestion of Represen-
tative Jerkln Of Oklahoma county, the
house decided TO hold the night ses-
sion.
The house, as committee of the
whole reported out senate bill No.
1874, by Rutherford, Democrat. Musko-
gee, which would confer on the state
supreme court original jurisdiction in
all cases of tax dispute.
