Jim Crow cell bill favored by senate committee
In Guthrie Oklahoma March 23 the senate approved house amendments to the Hatchett joint resolution on drawing terms for two senators from a district and enrolled. Favorable reports were given on Stewart's Jim Crow cell bill requiring separate cells for white and black prisoners and on the Eggerman Redwine Davis anti trust measure. The Cordell Memminger county court bill received long debate but little progress. A public discussion on county court clerks and stenographers moved to a special committee with a pending motion to strike probate judge salary provisions. Opponents argued salaries are fixed by the constitution in larger counties and unnecessary in smaller counties. The clerk and stenographer issue met resistance from western senators as a needless expense, while eastern senators sought added staff to ease congested dockets.
