FACTORY DURING YESTER-
DAYS SESSION

Oklahoma City, Jan. 19.-Commttees
from the house were today preparing
to make trips Of inspection to the east
and west parts Of the state in an ef-
fort TO locate two available state in
s,itutions which can be used as hos
pitals for disabled Or diseased former
service men without alteratig or in
convenience. The selection of tempor-
airy hospitals was decided on late
yesterday and committees were named.
The committee to visit the west side
of the state is S. D. Bailey OF Snyder,
Mrs. Bessie $. McGogln of Rankin.
and Sam \. Neely OF Spro. A hospital
for the east side will be sought BY
Murray +. Gibbs of Purcell, Austin
II. Rice OF Lehigh, and Leslie +.
Salter OF Carmen.
The object of the move. according
TO A. r. Craver one of the authors.
OF the resolution proposing trips. is
to provide Immediately hospitals for
former soldiers rather than to wait
Until institutions can I've erected.
What Was considered one Of the
most important measures introduced
in the senate was resolution by W. j.
Holloway calling for a popular vote
on a constitutional amendment to in
crease the maximum school levy in
school districts from 10 Is mills. The
total school levy would then be raised
from 3lh to 34ts mills.
Another spirited debate took place
in the senate yesterday over an appro-
p,isti Of $1,000 for furnishing the
building at the southeast
crn state normal at Durant. After an
attack by S. Morton Rutherford of
Muskogee and 1 20 minute speech in
favor Of the appropriation by Luther
Harrison OF Ada, the senate voted
down the Muskogee senator's amend
nent 70 cut the amount TO $4,000.
Final action on the appropriation was
not taken.

INSTITUTIONS FOR TINE
by Special Staff Correspondent

Oklahoma City. Jan. 19.-The cry
of cruel economy was raised in both
houses Of the state legislature yes
terday. And both houses overrode
the protests Of the cruel economists.
There seemed to be difference of
opinion as to where economy ended
and parsimony began.
The house committee on soldiers re-
lief reported favorably on n reso-
luton by A. T.. Craver, Republican,
Of Washington county, and Porter
Newman, Democrat, Of Bryan coun-
ty, for investigation looking to the
conversion Of certain state institu4
tions into hospitals for disabled vet
erans. As amended and reported BY
the committee, the resolution called
for the appointment Of two commit
tees of three members each. who
should visit the east and west side.
respectively, Of the state To inspect
locations and buildings that might
be used, and to report TO the house
the approximate cost of converting
these Institutions, deemed desirable,
into hospitals.
In the debate that followed reading
OF the resolution, there came q re-
monstraacc from the Republican side
OF the house against the expense of
the inspection trips by the commit
tees. (The resolution provided that
these expenses should be paid out
OF the appropriation for the legisla'
ture.)
The wellworn term "junketing' was
used in opposing the plan to have
committees travel over the state in
search OF suitable buildings and insti-
tutions for hospitals. T.. G. Sharp.
Republican, of Logan county, ex-
pressed resentment that the object

TO a worthy cause. Others, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, let it be known
they also resented the implication
Craver said there were n number Of
useless institutions in the state which
should be made to serve a useful
purpose. Newman declared he was

during popular observance of the
fiftieth anniversary Of the founding

The anniversary has afforded the

must reject every political method.
which would tend 10 conflict with
the plans to carry out fully the obi.
cations of the Versailles treaty.
The Taeglische Rundschau says that
that which was founded SO years ago

that the external form has necesstr-
lily undergone changes and that the
reconstruction process win be ac-
complished with freer and more gem
