CITES N. JERSEY BILL
Declares Special Interests

There.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March G.
"The worlmen's compensation act as
IT passed the house is a reasonable
measure and now It is proposed by the
employers to hook on to it thirty
amendments If this is done, they
should change the title of the bill and
instead Of calling it workmon's COM
pcnsation act they should call 1t a
manufacturers compensation law"
Thus did Representative j. H,
Rcigner of Pushmatana county reply
TO a letter from H. Dittmer Of the
Canadian Mill a Elevator company of
Gl Reno, i'm which Reigner was asked
to support a number Of amendments
to the compensation act proposed in
the senate on behalf of the employers
Of the state.
Continuing Reigner wrote:
"You speak about the good COM
pensation law Of New Jersey. 1t is
not q good compensation law and if
it was it never would have gotten by
the New Jersey legislature. The New
Jersey legislature consists of a small
number of legislators in both
branches, and by reason of this the
special interests in the country have
a greater grip on that legislature than
any other one in the union. The spe-
cial interests own It, operate 1t and
control IL. II consists OF twenty-one
senators and sixty representatives.,
and has been that way since 1914.
Numerous attempts have been made
by the people to change it, but pro-
posed amendments must pass two
succeeding legislatures before they
can be submitted to the people and
the Special interests always see that
such a proposed amendment to the
constitution does not get by the legis-
lature The New Jersey Legislature
being n special interest legislature,
is the very reason why nearly all the
trusts In the country are Incorporated
under the New Jersey law.
The bill was thoroughly discussed
and carefully gone over and also
amended in the house in many par
tlculars, and II Is now only a cOmpro-
mise measure, we might say, but It
was the best we could get and get it
! through the house and the house will
never accept those thirty-three
amendments proposed in the senate by
the manufacturers. If the senate does
accept them, they should simply
amend the title Of the bill and call II

House Applauds Editorial
Boosting The
World.
A UNIQUE TRIBUTE
Kingrishcr Editor Declares
the Oklahoman Is
OutclaSsed.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March THE
reading Of Tulsa World editorials in
the house Of representatives has come
to be as regular an order of business
as the introduction of bills, but last
Wednesday the routine was inter
ruptcd when Representative Tom Tes-
terman OF Noble county sent up a copy
of the Kingfisher Daily Free Press,
containing an editorial from the pen
OF Editor Ed Ingram under the cap
tion, The Oklahoman OutClassed."
The members paid rapt attention to
the reading Of the editorial and at its
conclusion there was loud and liberal
applause, coming not only from the
minority side Of the house, but from
the Democrats as we'll. II was IA
splendid tribute to the states leading
newspaper.
The editorial follows:
The OklahOman OutClassed.
When the present legislature was
assembled and the leading newspapers
OF the state We're laying out repor-
torial plans, the Oklahoman polled
considerable friendly satire at The
Tulsa World, because 1T resolved to
have but one reporter for all the leBis-
lative news.
The job could not be done anywhere
near efficiently by one man, declared
the Okla homan, and it was preposter-
GUS for The World TO undertake It,
Now what has been the result
simply that The Tulsa World has had
by far the best daily legislative reports
Of any paper in the state. They have
been fun, comprehensive and enlight-
ening OF both senate and house pro-
ceedings, while the comments upon
the important measures, left nothing
| to be- desired.
The Oklahoman, with it's corps OF
reporters" has given nothing but the
bare outlines Of bills introduced and
bills reported from the committees
with an occasional comment on some
of the proposed laws. In fact The
Worlds reports have laid over the
Oklahoman's in every particular of
vim and spirit and intelligence.
The Tulsa World is about the best
daily paper published i'm the state, in
dicating i'm matter and make up, that
a thorough newspaper man is at the
helm.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
Nervous dyspepsia is q disease Of u

Nervous dyspepsia il disease of the
nerves, not of the stomach.
Indigestion one day and complete Free
dom from symptoms the next usually
means nervous dyspepsia, especially Il
the patient is OF nervous or highly
emotional temperament.
The attacks recur at more or less
regular intervals and are often brought
on by nervous excitement. A sick feel
ing after eating, sometimes vomiting, a
weak, shaky, "gone" feeling when the
stomach is empty-these are the usual
symptoms, but in the case of some highly
nervous people the sight of food or the
approach of meal-time may cause vomit-
ing.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are especially
useful to sufferers from nervous dyspepsia
as they not only build up the general
physical condition but also act directly
on the nerves, strengthening and revi-
talizing them. These pills, with proper
regulation of the diet, afford the most
correct and successful way in which ner-
vous and functional dyspepsia can be
treated.
