Oklahoma

Of this aspirant for State authority.
This finds its expression in the consti-
tuition which, il will he remembered,
was formulated in months of debate
and has Just been approved by,a tre-
mendous vote No matter what its
characteristics, it expresses the delib-
crate viewssof the ablest men in Okla
homa and is the sentiment of the en-
tire territory
The Constitution prohibits the
monopolization or consolidation of
competing public service corporation;
absolutely divorces railways from the
control of oil or coal lands; creates
railway commission with powers as
ample as those now lodged in the Inter
state Commerce Commission adopts
the initiative and referendum, and
gives trial by jury to person accused
of contempt or violating an injunc-
tion. 1t goes to the very limit, in fact
along the lines advocated by men Of
the Bryan school for curbing corpora
tions and limiting the powers of the
courts.
