The state constitution adopted by
the Oklahoma constitutional conven-
ton is the most progressive instru-
ment of it's kind in America. The
makers have endeavored to create
an instrument that should give true
popular government and curb the
growing power of corporations.
They have given to the people of
Oklahoma in their constitution a
number of reforms that people in
other states are striving to get from
unwilling legislatures. Among the
progressive measures may be men,
toned the initiative and referen-
dunn, primary nomination of all
public officers, prohibition of sue
cession in state offices, submission
of the prohibition question to the
people, elective state corporation
commission, two cent passenger
rate, forbidding railroads from
owning any productive agency of a
natural commodity, fellow-servant
liability law, prohibiting corpora
tions from owning more land than
is absolutely necessary in the oper-
alton of their business, prohibiting
the issuance of watered stock and
requiring that books of corpora
lions be open to inspection at all
times, appointing commission to
negotiate the purchase Of the segre-
gated mineral lands IN the Indian
territory, fixing the legal rate of
interest at six per cent and the con-
tract at ten per cent, compulsory
and separate school system, labor
and arbitration commission, com
missionsaof charities and correction,
agriculture commission, oil, gas
and mineral commission, requiring
majority vote to amend the consti-
tuition 8$8z% & ! Ill.,
The makers have certainly tried
their best to guard the interests Of
the people as far as it can be done
thru the constitution, and thru Che
initiative and referendum have
given them the power to get any
law they may want and veto any
law they dc not want. IT would
make the governme i of . Oklahoma

nonWealth would want it, to be-
and thus make it truly repre-
sentative government.
m And yet word comes from Wash.
ington that Theodore Roosevelt,
the great and only genuine reform
er and friend of the people, has
threatened to refuse to accept the
constitution unless it is materially
modified. He has it in his power
to withhold consent if he finds that
the constitution adopted is not ere
publican in form. 1t seems, that
the Oklahoma constitution is
more genuinely republican in form
and spirit than that of any other
American commonwealth, taking
the word republican, in its real
sense. But perhaps Teddy inter-
prets it according to the republican
party platform, in which case it
will probably fall short, not provid-
ing special favors for certain pro-
tected classes. There are only two
factors that could have any thing
to gain by the rejection of the con-
stitution-the corporations and the
republican party. The former are
opposed to it on account Of it's pro-
hibitive measures, the latter because
it is feared that Oklahoma might
cast it's electoral vote for the dem
ocratic candidate for president next
year, and for that reason it would
be safer for the party to keep it
out for some time longer on any
pretext. 1t is hard to believe that
Roosevelt would stoop to help either
his party or the corporations in such
nefarious attempt to disfranchise
the people Of Oklahoma, but the
Washington correspondents of the
republican papers are very positive
in their statements that he has
served notice on the commissioners
from Oklahoma that visited him
that they must change their consti-
tuition or remain out in the cold.

PURE FOOD BULLETIN.

st. Paul, May IL, l9UI.-Ihe re-
cent legislature passed several laws
and amendments to existing laws
which affect the manufacture and
sale of foods in the state. The at
tention of the parties interested is
called to the following new laws:
Chapter 1884 gives the commits
sioner and his employees authority
to seize any unWholesome food or
dairy products or in his or their
discretion to render the same unsal-
able for use as food.
Chapter 455 provides for the in
spection of canning factories and
fixes a grade for Minnesota stand
ard" canned goods. 1t provides
that an inspector of the department
must be present while the goods are
being packed. The expense of such
inspection is to be borne by the
Gamer.
Chapter 124 provides that all ice
cream manufactured and sold within
the state must contain not less than
twelve per cent by weight of but
terfat, and must not be colored to
make the article appear better than
it really is. The use of all injuri-
Gus ingredients is prohibited in its
manufacture.
Chapter 1888 provides for the in
spection of concentrated commercial
feed stuffs. This is the famous
"stock food bill' which caused so
much discussion during it's consid-
Grafton.
Chapter 42l is the new paint law
which requires the true ingredients
of all paints shall be plainly printed
on the labels of all paint packages.
Amendments to the present laws
are as follows:
Chapter 237 prohibits the sale of
adulterated spices. Heretofore
adulterated spices have been sold
when labeled mixture and Adult
erated.'
Chapter 258 includes among the
prohibited ingredients in foodstuffs
coal tar d We and saccharin. =.
Chapter 337 amends the present
milk and cream license law so that
parties keeping not more than three
cows are exempted from the provi-
sions of the law. Heretofore the
exemption has been one COW. /
Chapter 347 reduces the required
percentage of acetic acid in vinegar
from as per cent to 4 per cent.
The latter is the standard set by
the Federal authorities.
Under Chapter 424 rulings will
be issued which will secure uni
formity between the label provi-
sions of the state and Federal laws.
An article labeled to comply with
the Federal pure food and drugs act
should be allowed on sale within
the. state without further label re-
quirements provided that it does
not contain ingredients specifically
prohibited by our state laws. Ad-
ditional state requirements only
tend to confuse the manufacturer
and adds to the cost of production
which must be borne by the con-
sumner without giving him added
protection. ~::El@. - T. >14s5 =

The drug trust has been dissolved
by the courts on an action brought
by the general government. This
reminds us that the government
some time ago won a similar suit
against the paper trust but the
price of paper remained where
the trust had put it. Whether
there is formal ''trust'' company
or merely a "gentlemen's agree
ment' that cannot be reached by
any court decision makes little
difference, if any. The fact re-
mains that in all lines of business
conducted by large corporations
competition is thing of the past,
and some other remedy than anti
trust legislation must be found.
This has been openly acknowledged
in the case of transportation COM
panies, where the futile attempts to
prevent combinations has given
place to legislation fixing rates,
reciprocal demurrage, etc. In the
case of the paper trust a temporary
remedy could be applied by remov-
ing the tariff on paper and the ma
terials it is made from. And there
are other trusts where an applica-
ton of the same remedy would be
far more effective than bushels of
court injunctions.
