Tho leglslutuio opened tbo week 'In a halo of madness If that term and halos can bo sort of hitched up for useful purposes. The house reached tho peak point of interest Monday when tho envoi sounded and tho special Investigating committee lurneu in itn charges against Lieu tenant (Jnvernnr M. H. Tranri. ac companied by tbo evidence that It Is to uo ottered for purposes of secur ing pn Indictment. Httircoly had Chairman Matthews asked that tho charges printed ior tne representatives to read be fore voting, until cuiuo tho report finm the same commlttco on two other state departments, that por talnlng to the highways and to the state treasurer. The charges against tho h ghwov department arc different from thoso concerning the stale treasurer and the lieutenant governor, for the tea son that Us head Is appointive nnd no impeachment can no attempted, removal by tho governor being asked as to Highway Commissioner Henry Wood, Hill Witcher, who had chargo of tho truck "Industry,'' J. T. Thompson., chief clerk and John Lawnorn, tho latter being charged with excessive charges In relation to "fixing" or repairing tho trucks fur nished by the government, the stato examiner and Inspector's report shoVing that $70,000 had been paid tor repairs and oils nnd gasoline for the vehicles. A Scmtp lleport. In truth the report on the high way department Is so severe that It compels pity. The department has been the center of a grilling fire against tho state administration for tho pant year, nnd page after pago of typewritten copy Is embraced In tho charges mado by tho Investigat ing committee, anil among the.m aro Included tho report on the various sums which were reported to the auditor as finished projects, but which examination disclosed In many Instances had nut even been commonred. Tho World hns previously carried this story, showing that tho highway department heads explained this was dono for tho purpose of drawing money from the treasury prior to the lapsing of ..the appropriations, such lapses being equivalent to stopping the work ,rj a lapsed fund turns tho money .impropriated nai'K Into the general revenue fund nnu only another legislative appropri ation an withdraw It. These project warrants aro set forth In tho charges made by tho Investigators, ns well as a rather ex haustive report on tho truck work und how that fund was handled out side of tho usual channels, ln fact on personal Checks issued by tho highway commissioner, although tho governor also hnd to sign the checks. iA-ct'rnil Was u hiii-priso. rcrhnui tho report on the conduct of State Treasurer Ix'ccraft occas ioned tho most surprise, although for the p.'iNt several days tho com mittee had that department "on thq, carpet." Tho Leecraft chlirges aro based on the admitted fact that Just be fore the "closo of the election cam nalirn last fall, tho state treasurer allowed Kugene- Kerr, a democratic campaign manager, to send out tele grams signed by I.oecraft to banks to allow him to uraw on moso in stitutions for campaign funds. Ho admits that such telegrams wero signed and that ho had knowledge of their being sent, nlthough he did not know to whom all of them were sent, but many replied to him In person. The charges on which articles of indictment will be asked against tho state treasurer hinge on construc ilnn nf thn Law. Tho telegrams wero .sent In the form of a demand, which If proven, would constitute maueas unco ln office and subject tho stale treasurer to removal from oflec un der Impeachment. Mr. t.eocraft'H defense is that it has become n custom in Oklahoma to raise campaign funds in that manner, and that whllo ho himself dors not approve of the method, he docs not consider It unlawful. Additional charges, according to tho commlttoe, may bo filed against Lieutenant Governor Trapp, on tho ground of him having purchased Creek county bonds, tradee" them for stnto funding bonds, and then cushed the funding bonds. ltcpiiblicails Did It, While tho houso was hearing tho sensational charges against stato of ficials the democratic senate Jugger naut was making way. and five re publican renotors Joined In passing tho general departmental appropri ation Hdll No. 155.

Woods. Hi li..n Cordell, Mrl'herren, Itatllff nnd uavldson, the latter chairman of the appropriation committee. Senutor John floloblo of Outhrlo was the lone republican to speak on tho measure, against It. and ho trnvH a warning that continued lncienso m appropriations with the con tinued decrease In the price for products could only lend to disaster. On roll call five republicans joined tho administration democrats and put the bill over by a vote of 2fi to 111. The republican senators who voted with the administration demo crats were; Cornell of I'awhtiskn; Durant of Miami: Horner of Okmulgee; Lynch of Htroud and 1C. K. Woods of Claru mnre. The' six democrats who voted to kill the bill were: Fleming of l'otoau; Hensley of 131 Heno: Hill of McAlestcr (democratic nueus chairman und floor lender); i.inuru or Oklahoma City, Ituthcr ford of Muskogee, und Wallace of I'auls VaJtfy. It was peculiar In that It sent the ureal appropriation bill to the house of representatives as a non partisan measure, for hail the five republican senators stood with the six democratic opponents, It could never nnve iieen carried, Inasmuch ns It reunited 2,1 voles to pass n bill and there are but 27 democrats a defection of 6 votes being suflclent to keep tho vote under a constitu tional majority of the hennto. Where- Is tho l.'nd? The passage of this great bill as n non-partisan measure leads to fore bodings as to lis final outcome. He yond doubt It will be amended In the house of repisenlotives, ucd If tho senate refuses to concur In these amendments. ,n conference must be held by members appointed by the two houses, and that will result In a lest of legislative skill. In this the senate will have, the advantage nf the older legislators, as tho majority of tho house re publicans are new men. Davidson of Tulsa will of course head tho sen ate conference committee, bilrut chairman nf the appropriation "in mlttee. Hulloy of Snyder holds the same position In the house, nnd nt this writing Italley Is the center of tiro for the reason that he hns been tho apparent mnster of the house appropriations, perhaps for tho rea son that he has proceded slowly and hns been able to win the solid sup port of his republican colleagues on that committee. Ilrlggs Would Curb. An- apparently innocent measure has been Introduced by .Senator Uriggs of Woodward, It provides Hint those seeking a bank charter must first make their desires known by publishing that they expect to ask for a charter, and the, "man' killer" In the measure provides that In the event the state bank commis sioner does not lssuo tbo chnrtcr, an appeal may bu taken from his rul ing. Inasmuch as there has been ex tensive comment concerning the Is suanco of bank charters, the sig nificance of the Ilrlggs bill need not bo further elucidated. Ono More Mi-dionl Act.
