while he was en- route to New Orleans.
President Taft extended an invitation
to the governors who were accompany
ing him down the river to attend Il
third conference.
This meeting is for the purpose of
taking up the questions discussed at
the previous conferenceS-cOnSer
the natural resources of the country
by preserving the forests, irrigating
arid lands and improving the water
ways. In referring to the omission of
congress TO make any appropriation
for the meeting of governors President
Taft told the state executives at Mem
phis that they need not stay away on
that account. as the White House
latchstring would be where every Wis
itor could put his hand on it.
The idea of conference of govern
ors did not originate with President
Roosevelt. but was the aftermath of
proposition made by William George
Jordan. formerly editor of the Satur
day Evening Post in 1907 The Jordan
idea was more farreaching than the
conferences already mentioned. and it

ings held in Washington. Mr.. Jordan
communicated his ideas to President
Roosevelt. who soon thereafter called
the conferences held during his admin

The Jordan suggestion was for an
organization to be called the house of
governors" and made up of chief exec
utiveS of each state. who were TO meet
annually and work for the country's
good. This plan met with the hearty
approval of the governors who came
to Washington last year. and after
their session they met and appointed
committee to arrange time and place
for a session of their own. This COM

not unmindful of the fact that if salts

made to substantially conform. Proba-

The National Association of State
Bank Supervisors and the American
Banking association have come to
agreement on certain propositions upon
which they desire uniform state legis-
