Oklahoma has population as big

OF its people are Americans-Amer-
lean born and hailing from away
back. Clean run. hard-gritted, dead
ln-earnest men who have fought the
desert and conquered 1t. And some
of the things in the constitution are
these:
The state has the right to under
take industries and business. The
state can build and operate railroads,
mills, eiineries-anything.
The people of the state have the
right of the initiative. They can pro-
pose laws and amendments to the
constitution; the people can do that.
The people of the state have Sc
cured to them the right of the refer
endum. On requisition signed by
per cent of the legal voters any
measure before the legislature must
be submitted to the people and that
vote absolutely makes or breaks It,
The state by its constitution, has

books, documents and records of all
corporations are subject to official In.
