ANEW .ExpERiMENT sTATIUN."

Oklahoma's constitutional convention
has made the state an experiment sta
ton in political reform. Some of the
advanced theory and practice embodied
in the new constitution are:
Two-cent fares per mile will be re-
CURED as the maximum charge the
railroads will be allowed to make, I'M
less the state railroad commission per-
mits higher charge.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic is
made part of the fundamental law.
Railroads are prohibited from engag-
ing in productive industry, and. follow
ing the recommendations of the inter-
state commerce commission, they are
forbidden from owning coal lands.
The Oregon initiative and referendum
system and the direct primary for the
nomination of all federal and state Of
ficers We're adopted.
All state officers are limited to one
term and the lieutenant governor is
deprived OF the prerogative of select
ing senate committees.

negotiate the purchase of mineral lands

their development.

alton of the most advanced of present
day legislation into fundamental law, is
problematical. He has been made the
arbiter of the fate of the Oklahoma
constitution, at any rate of the admis-
sion of the state to the union. Some
time ago he is reported to have said
that a radical constitution would re-
suit in demand of statehood. His
reputed assertion has not, 1t would ap-
pear, been seriously considered by the
convention.
When all is said and done the consti-
tuition in Oklahoma is created by the
representatives of territory populous
enough to have undeniable claims to
statehood and intelligent enough to
know what it wants When the con-
stitution is ratified by the popular
vote, as it will be- it is difficult to see
how arbitrary refusal of admission may
be justified 1t is to be hoped that the
experiment may go on. To say the
least about it it will be educative. II

COMPARING LIQUOR LAWS.

Walt Eldon, former editor of the
Clarion Democrat makes an interest
ing comparison of the liquor traffic in
Iowa and in the state of Washington,
where he now resides. whether MS
conclusions are entirely just orfin some
part built upon prejudice is for each
reader to decide for himself. AT any
rate his comparison of conditions IN
the two states as result OF taVoraple
and unfavorable legislation governing
the LIQUOR traffic is worth reading. The
article, which occupies another column
in this issue appeared in the Clarion
Clipper, of which, under its Garner
name. he was the founder and editor.
Others who go away from Iowa into
other states where legislation is large
ly saloon controlled, come to the con-
clusion that the Iowa mulct law is one
Of the most effective liquor statutes in
present force The tendency in Iowa
is ,repressive. In other states where the
traffic is wholly legitimatized the ten
dency is usually the other way When
Elder. who had lived in an inland city
in a prohibition county where the
drinking was done with more or less
stealth in livery barns and under diff
fculties, ran against the saloon as
power and arbiter in politics, he stood
aghast.
The secret of control lies in keeping
the saloon and liquor selling interests
outside Of politics. Sentiment IN
this state supports the policy. Candi-
dates who pledge themselves to those
interests must do so secretly If they
are successful in this state. To be
saloon candidate is a, handicap to be
carried in few places in Iowa. And ii
| is a gratifying and hopeful sign that
this sentiment is stronger among the
new than the older voters. The mulc'
may be guilty as it's opponents accuse
If as a compromise and capable of var
ious constructions, but it does the bus
mess. Broadly speaking it is practt-
| cally up to the limit of successful
regulation possible at the present time
and under present conditions.

A Comparison In Liquor Laws

the law, but to require them to close
their front doors on Sunday, and to re-

late election in December the council-
man who proposed it was defeated for

town, and in its police court for the
half year ending June i, 1906, over
$4,000 was collected in fines, nine
tenths of which was from "drunks and

could give many such interesting
statistics but what's the use.
For fact an intimateeand personal
acquaintance with saloon keeper will
convince any unprejudiced and UNI
biased individual that he is not a cit
| izen at all but an outlaw, who cares
as little for law and order and the
well being of the community in which
he is tolerated as he does for common
decency He is leach who draws
every thing and gives back nothing of
value a fostering sore in the COM
munity drawing out it's life blood and
converting it into filthy and offensive
pus. Some other form of dispensing
liquor may be bad, we will not dispute,
but none could be vile that a self-re-
specting community could afford to re-
place it with a saloon. That is my
honest and unprovoked opinion after
,, viewing the "critter" in soil where
it flourishes in the most luxurious
abandon. The extreme temperance
people of this state are hoping that
maybe, some time. we can have a To-
cal option law, which will permit a
majority of town or county to de-
termine whether or not liquor should
be sold within such environment, but
as vet ! doubt If there is a member
of the legislature who could be induced
to introduce such a bill by request.

THE BIG STRIKE.

From present appearances a strike OF
railway employees involving forty sys-
TENS of roads, $4,000 miles OF track, and
a half million men who work for
wages has beer decided upon and IS
Imminent. The trainmen, who are di-
rectly concerned in the strike. num-
her $4,000 Fifteen thousand conduc-
tors will go out when the order is Civ
en-. Then $1,000 trains will stop running
or be Differed by non-union conduc-
tors and pulled by non-union engi-
neers. The difficulty between the roads
and the men is the old one OF hours
and wages. The men want II per cent
increase in pay and a nine-hour day.
The roads offer 81 per cent increase
in wages and a ten-hour day. Nego-
tiations are off. The strike is arranged
and the roads stand pat. Every Iowa
trunk line may be tied UP when the
fight begins.
With all the interests Of the men and
employing corporations that are in
,volyed their interests and losses and
numbers are a minor part Of the
great struggle forecasted The heavy
loss and greatest annoyance and sup
preston of business will fall upon the
public, which, In this case. seems to be
considered as party without rights
or interests to be given consideration.
The inability Of the roads to handle
freights has already been the cause
Of much business embarrassment.
What viii conditions become when the
strike is on.
This public, 50 little considered,
would appear to have rights as an IN
itervenor. It is getting ready to de-
fend them. The sentiment of the pub
lie succeeding each great strike takes
a step toward reputation of these diff
ficulties in its own protection. The
day is coming when it will have to
be considered by corporations and or
ganized labor before they strip for a
finish fight.
