on Strengthening the Power OF tns
Executiyes."s He reviewed the condi'
tons In his state. discussed ihe
early constitutions Of revolutionary
times and declared there was 9 crying
need in most states for their amend

Two methods In which the powers
of state executives throughout the
Union ought to be strengthened were
discussed by Governor Edwin L. NOT
ris of Montana. He agreed Win Gov
ernor ONeal that the first vital step
to be taken is to bestow upon COVER
nors the power to remove inefncient
state officers charged with the en-
forcement of the criminal and RENE
dial laws. The second Is to grant the
governor the right to initiate and re-
fer legislation to the voters for their
approval or rejection.

There was no mincing Of words IN

strengthen executive authority. ana
that is the system Of initiative, refer

no power to veto or amend a law ini-

the courts; and where the system OF
recall of judges prevails. overthrow
ing as 1t does the independence OF the
judiciary. the courts would degenerate
into tribunals organized chiefly to
register popular Judgment on all legal
questions"
Governor Wilson did not reply I'M
til several western governors had
spoken. Among other things be said:
What would urge az against the
views Of Governor O'Neal Is that
there Is nothing inconsistent between
the strengthening Of the powers OF
the executive and the direct power Of

Speaker Believes Unpurchasable Ma

rion-Mass Of People Honest.

Louisiana, Mo. Speaker Champ
Clark Of the house OF representatives
was entertained here by the home
folks. the greater part OF the popula-
ton Of the Ninth Missouri congress
sional district Joining to greet him on
his home coming from Washington.
In his address the speaker asserted
that upright and honest politicians are
the rule. and not the exception in
America
Instead Of there being too many
politicians, there are not enough"
he said. TN a country whose insti-
tutions are based upon popular suf-
frage every man should be politi-
clan, and every man owes a portion
of his time, energy and talents to the
service OF the state. do not mean
by that that every man should run for
Office That Is poor business at
best
What do mean is that every citi-
zen should, so far as In him lies,
study the problems which confront
us, and help. SO far as he can, to solve
them, for the betterment of govern
ment, the Improvement Of society. and
the perpetuity Of the republic.
ut sometimes urged that there 10
so much corruption In politics that
good men are defled by participation
therein That excuse is not tenable,
In fact, It is preposterous.
The probabilities are that there
is not a congressional district In
America where there is majority
of purchasable voters; and the unpur.
chasable voters can control every one
of them II they would only do their
duty.
THE vast majority Of American
voters Of all parties are absolutely
honest. The majority OF public men
are Of high character and patriotic.
The corruptionists are only the ex-
ceptions, and the voters Of the land
without regard to political preference
Of af1liation, are more and more de-
manding perfect integrity as a con-
dition precedent to a public career.
That's the truth, and 1t ought to be
preached necessarily to our own peo-
pie and to these newcomers into our
midst"
