Oklahoma Supreme Court limits Attorney General power in oil case
Guthrie Aug 30 The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the Attorney General lacks authority to sue without the Governor's approval. The decision sustains the Governor in restraining a district judge in the Prairie Oil and Gas Company case, effectively checking state prosecution backed by Standard Oil interests. The Prairie Oil and Gas Company and Western Standard Oil plan to resume pipeline work from Nowata to Caney and extend to New Orleans via Glenn Pool within two weeks.
