Malich swore that Orchard. and not
he suggested the inhuman plot of dy~
namiting a boarding house full of non-
union smelter men at Globeville. and
that Orchard originated the idea OF.
killing William Mcdonald one OF Mal-
ich's business rivals. He also swore
that Orchard had told him that but for

Mehelict and Aikman. who followed

told him of the loss of rich share i'm
the Hercules mine, of his intention TO

ORGANIZATIONS ARE
WORKING TOGETHER
Commercial Club and S. S. |. A.
Wants Factories on the
South Side.
is DUE TO INTERCHANGE.
RULING BY RAILROAD COMMITS
SION WILL MAKE LOCATIONS IN
SOUTH PORTION OF CITY MORE
DESIRABLE.

Since the granting of freight inter-
change in this city by the Indiana Rail-
road commission Monday, the men,
bers of the Commercial club and the
South Side Improvement association
are working hand in hand tolocate fac
tories on the South Sode, and in the
new Beallview addition to the city of
Richmond. The South Side Improve
ment association has set aside thirty
acres in the new addition for factory
sites. and this will be given TO facto-
ries locating in Richmond, free of any
cost whatever. Both organizations
now have in the hands of their secre-
taries, communication from various
factory concerns, asking to locate here
and of the inducements that the organ
fZations Will ofer to prospective fac
tories. The majority of these commu-
nications, however. ask more than
either of the organizations has to give.
wanting subsidies, locations. factory
buildings. and about all that it takes
to locate, construct and run factory
of any pretensions. Really very de-
sirable factories desiring to locate in
Richmond are few and those that de
sire to. in some instances ask more
money than could be raised in this city
for that purpose.
1t is an established fact that practic-
ally all of the factory territory lying
north of Main street is at present mo-
nopoliZed being owned by local con-
Germs, and now the Commercial club is
turning its attention to the South Side
and that organization with the South
Side association recommending South
Side locations
Factories locating in the south end
will hereafter have as good shipping
facilities as any of those locating in
the north end. if sites were accessible
in that portion of the city Shippers
in the south end can ship and bill their
goods over the Pennsylvania. paying
only the transfer charges over the C..
G. 4 H.. and this will be a great in
ducement for factories 10 locate in the
southern portion of the city.

Thinks That Portion of the
City Should Be Recognized
BY Choice of a Site in South
ern Section of Town.
MATTER OF LOCATION
DRAGGING AT PRESENT.
1t Appears That Owners of De-
sirabIe Sites Are Inclined to
Boost Their Prices to Un-
reasonable Figure.

When the Y. NJ CA. committee on
site meets in the Commercial club
rooms Friday night. to come to some
definite agreement upon the location
of the new association building in
Richmond. the South Side Improve
nent association will present reso-
luton to the committee members. ex-
pressing the opinion of the members of
the Improvement association, that the
building should be located south of
Main street.
In speaking of the matter a man
prominent in South Side affairs. stated
that il Is due to the South Side that the
association be located south of Main
street. as heretofore all the good things
have been monopolized in that terrific
ry north Of Main street. He stated
that the south Side is taking a great
interest in the location of the new Y.
M. G.. A. building as it would mean
much toward the progress of that por-
tion of the city. The residents there,
he said want the association through
a spirit of public pride Also and want
to secure as many public institutions
south of Main street as possible.
Matter Is Dragging.
The matter Of securing site for
Richmonds new association has been
dragging for some time. and but few
options on properties have been Sc
cured within the past few days. The
committee is considering several sites
and will without a doubt recommend
to the board the purchase of one of
those now under consideration next
Friday night.
According to the statement of COM
mittee member, he stated that proper
ty owners are trying to hold the Y NJ
G. A. up by asking at least thirty per-
cent more than they would ask other
parties. He said he supposed this is
because the owners of desirable prop
erty thought they could get their price.
and therefore boosting real estate val
ues in the central southern and north
ern sections of the CITY,

TIE OKLAHOMA CoNsTITU-
NTION.
Some Of It's Salient Features.

Some of It's Salient Features.
Every new constitution framed in
the United States is of>interest. For
one thing, because it reveals the ten
dency of the times.
Heretofore, constitutional conven-
tions, keeping ever in mind the con
setvatism ofithose to whom their work
MUST be submitted, have been won't
to perpetdate indefensible provi-
sions and to reject desirable innova-
tons.
This was true, no doubt. Of the
Oklahoma convention, but in less de-
gree than of any of its predecessors.
The instrument it submitted to pop
nlar vote, and which the people have
how adopted, contains a number of
features that are novel and to an ex-
tent experimental. Hence exception
al interest attaches to it.
Modern constitutions have grown in
length over the earlier Instruments,
and chiefly because of an increasing
distrust Of that branch Of the State
government which is to supplement-
the organic law by statutory enact
tnet1ts.
This development is shown in a re-
markable manner in the Oklahoma
constitution. 1t is extremely long
and enters into details heretofore left
to legislation. But it must be con-
ceded that in so doing the specif-
cations are wonderfully well con-
ceived-vastly superior to the work
of an average State legislature.
In the more modern constitutions,
distrust of the legislature has been
shown particularly in the prohibi-
ton Of special legislation and in the
dictation of legislative procedure.
This the Oklahoma constitution has
done but it has gone much further.
It has embodied many matters hith-
erto dealt with almost exclusively by
statutory law.

PAGE ELEVEN

The constitution provides for
bank commissioner, appointed by .he
governor with the advice ami consent
of the senate.
Legal rate of interest shall not ex-
ceed six per cent, and no contract
shall be valid which exceeds ten per
cent.
No bank shall have an interest in
another bank.
Nonresident aliens are forbidden
to own land in the State. Public ser
vice corporations are prohibited from
owning any land whatsoever in the
State, "except as the same shall be
necessary for the transaction and OPP
GRAFTON of its business as such.'
No corporation shall be licensed TO
trade in real estate outside Of incor-
porated cities and towns.
The legislature is authorized to tax
anything, provided it is done by gen
eral laws for State purposes. It can
impose poll tax of not exceeding two
dollars. The legislature may by gem
eral laws confer upon counties and
municipal corporations the power to
assess and collect taxes up to $31.50
per $1,000.
Any municipality, by majority
vote of its electors, may exempt new
manufacturing establishments from
taxation for period of five years.
All public debts incurred shall be
for specific purposes, and be accom-
panied by sinking fund which shall
extinguish the debt in twenty-five
years.
The State debt shall not exceed
100000.
Of the above provisions it may be
said that, with few exceptions, they
seem to be warranted under condi-
tions as they exist today.
Some of the provisions not yet con-
sidered are bad, but as a rule they
have been taken bodily from other
State constitutions framed without
the experience of the present day.

Of this Bill of Rights it may be
said that in the main it is couched in
those recognized phrases, protective
of the individual, which have come
down to us as an Anglo-Saxon and
American inheritance.
In addition, it forbids the suspen-
sion Of the writ of habeas corpus;
it prohibits appropriations for reli-
gious or sectarian purposes; it de-
clares that perpetuities and monnpo-
lies shall never be allowed; it admits
of verdicts Sin civil cases, and in
criminal cases less than felonies," by
three-fourths of the jury; it allows
one hundred taxpayers of county
by petition to convene a grand jury;
and, in case of injunction, it assures
to the accused trial by jury Fbefore
penalty OF punishment is imposed"
Turning to. corporations, it deals
with their "rights'' in very differ
ent manner:
Oec.c 20. Inc RECORDS, DOCKS ana
files Of all corporations shall be, at
all times. liable and subject to the
full yisitorial and inquisitorial powers
of the State"
Furthermore, every industry, ex-
cept agriculture, is put upon its good
behavior as follows:
"Sec. 81. The right of the State
to engage in any occupation or busi-
ness for public purposes shall not
be denied nor prohibited" +"
