Commission Acts Without Power in Guthrie Case
Attorney General West says a state commission of agricultural and industrial education is unconstitutional and void. The first legislature had created the body to locate district sites and hire teachers, but the court ruling removes its authority as a regency board, while the agricultural board must handle new contracts and building tenders. In Muskogee county the no work doctrine under Billups remains loosely enforced with officials showing little will to curb prohibited activity.
