Section IX-28: Inspection of books and papers - Examination of officers and agents.

  The commissioners, or either of them, or such persons as they
may employ therefor, shall have the right, at such times as they
may deem necessary, to inspect the books and papers of any
railroad company or other public service corporation, and to
examine, under oath, any officer, agent, or employee of such
corporations in relation to the business and affairs of the same.
If any railroad company or other public service corporation shall
refuse to permit the commissioners, or either of them, or any
person authorized thereto, to examine its books and papers, such
railroad company or other public service corporation shall, until
otherwise provided by law, for each offense, pay to the State of
Oklahoma not less than one hundred and twenty-five dollars, nor
more than five hundred dollars, for each day it shall so fail or
refuse, and the officer or other person so refusing shall be
punished as the law shall prescribe.
