No Action; Demand ofc Peo

There will bo no "blue liws'' In

tLon exerts Its power. This is mad"
loar in a statimeilt l.isued by May
or T. Ij. i:aii8 in reply to Inmiiries
of many persons who lm o boi'Ome
interested in agnation to close turn
leis on Sundns, and who asiert ru
mors havo been prevclant that Sun
day was to become a "closed day,
with all places of amusement rloseJ.
Iho mayor's statement stated that
Tul.a Is slightly different from oth
er cities In that it has a largo tran
sient population, and that many
would seek places of substantially
moro undesirable amusement than
shows If theateis wero closed. Ho
states ui so that Sunday closing was
once decided by a volo or tho people
following a campaign of agitation.
and that this vote showed the senti
ment of Tulsa's citizenship.
Sunday closing was not u plank In
tho platform upon which the pres
ent city administration was elected,
tho mayor declares, and consiiuent
ly. Is. not a political Issue.
The siatonient follows:
"This Is u subject upon which the
city of Tulsa once passfl by a vote
of the people. It wns decided nl
tho polls to allow theaters nnd plc
turo shows to -run on Hsnday. This
proposition was not enihmrfld In
any platform declaration i the last
election, and m far its I now re
member, was never discussed or out
lined as" a part of the program of
giving the city of TuUu better con
