liquor In Oklahoma has been given a title by the Attorney General's office In accordance with the law The title Is as follows: gist of this proposition is to amend section 7 of article 1 of the State Constitution by providing far the regulation of traffic in Intoxicating liquors in cities towns and villages after an election therein by a majority vote authorising the same to be conducted upon the

west One of the prominent residents of the street when asked about their plans said that the first step would be to try and induce the city council to proceed by resolution toward the paving of the street and as we understand it the first thing would be to pass and publish a resolution declaring the intention to pave the street which would give those opposing It a ctaln lenght of time to protest and if those favoring the protest own a majority of the 1200 man it Is a $200 business That la the difference A $200 self would A drummer walking into a hard- ware and implement store In the man can
