RapS Federal
Constitution
Governor of Wisconsin Says It Pro-
vides Beautiful Scheme to Enable
Legislators to Do Nothing.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 29.-
The governors conference came to an
end here today with a majority of its
'Tentbers greatly perturbed over an at
tack by Governor McGovern on the
federal constitution. His utterances
followed a discussion of the desirabii-
ty and undesirabiliiy of reducing the
size of Legislatures, abolishing double
chambers and making the legislature
more responsive to the peoples will.
everal executives defended the pres
ent system, Governor Spry saying he
believed the trainers Of the constitu-
tion were inspired, and the constitu-
tion divine.
"I do not" broke in McGovern, of
Wisconsin. "It is the most beauti-
full scheme ever invented to enable
legislators to do nothing.
"I favor a small number of well
paid legislators with the members SC
directly responsible that they would
not dare disobey instructions. The
supporters of the present system virtu
ally say they are willing the people
should be poorly armed for the war be
tween the masses and organized capi
tai"
Governors Hodges, Hunt and Dunn,
agreed with McGovern. Others admit
ted state legislatures were inefficient
but opposed reduction in size.

SITE IS
SUGGESTED BY WEST
IN LETTER TO MAYOR
Tract Between Mission, Oak,
Church and Winter Streets
Suitable for Purpose.
STATE OWNS oNE-HALF
Believes Ownership of Other Part
Should Be Looked Up With View
Of Purchasing 1t.

Governor West today has written
the following letter:
"To the Mayor and Members of the
City Council of Salem:
"The state of Oregon owns about
one-half of the west tract Of land ly-
ing between Mission, Oak, Church and
Winter streets. The greater part of
the balance of this tract is free from
buildings, and it appears to be partic-
ularly well adapted for park or chill
dren's play ground purposes. The
creek runs through it, and it is well
covered with shade trees,
"My object in calling this to your
attention is to suggest that the owner
ship of this property be looked into,
and the price at which it can be pur-
chased ascertained, with a view of
eventually securing it for children Is
play ground.
"Much of the tract owned by the
state is suitable for such purposes
and, as it is not all devoted to the use
of institutions, might be used in con.
nectiOn with the other tract by the
children.
"It seems to me that this PROPOSE
tion that is worthy of the considera
tiOn Of your honorable body, as the
tract, through the cooperation of the
state and city, could be made into Q
beautiful park"

highest of all honors, while the ibis,

balmed. If anyone killed an ibis or

mediately put to death. Dangerous
brutes, however, were freely slaugh-

''What is the force that controls
the schools?"
The question was put to progress
sive public school teacher. In am
sweTing, he did not hesitate one mo-
ment. His reply was this:
THE white coIIar!"
That is it. The prevailing opinion
is that boys are sent to school to
seek their fortunes by the white col
lar route. They are sent to school
to be fitted for positions, in which
their hands shall not be soiled.
They get the positions, too. That
is the trouble. 1t is sickening sight
to see a young American boy, who
has nothing behind him in the way of
money, applying for a position in a
bank or in a lawyers office. The
sickening part of it is that he will
probably get the position. He thinks
that he is on the road to success as
a banker or as a lawyer, because
some of the gray-headed lawyers or
bankers of whom he has read have
made their way to success by that
route.
But times have changed and the
chances against him are oVerWheIm-
ing. -...
The plight of a great many boys
who study for professions is almost
as bad as that of those who aim to
become clerks. Each year an army
goes out of the professional schools
with degrees in their hands, only to
find that there is no place for them.
The average income of the profess
sionaI man in this country is little
above that of the digger of bitches.
And yet the force which controls
the public schools of the United
States is white collaTism." 1t is this
which demands of the teachers and
school boards that polish shall be the
main product of the schools.
