Worthy of Consideration

Somebody has proposed a House
of Governors with the idea of the
States getting together on their
laws. If the Governors of all the
forty-six States were annually
to meet for two or three weeks
to discuss all subjects from the
liquor trade to the influence Of
weather upon elections, State leg.

on a better basis. The Governor
who can't tell the difference be.
tween the private tip of a corpo.
ration and the mandate of the
people might be inspired and in.
structed by more progressive and
intelligent Governors. And wher
a given law has been approved
it might at once be proposed t.
twenty or thirty or even to for
ty-six separate Legislatures. W.
hope that this "E pluibus unum
idea will take root, and that lone
