STATEMENT OF EXPLANATION.
TO Whom il May Concern:

want TO state to the people OF
Guthrie that our differences were not
caused by Geo. M. Frazior's killing
beef that was unfit for slaughter as
! am in a position to know that all
cattle inspected by me for Mr. Frazier
were as good as can be bought in the
state.
Our differences did not arise from
the quality Of the cattle which he
slaughtered

up TO SUPREME COURT

Members of the state supreme court
may be called upon to settle constitu-
tional questions that bother members
of the legislature, under terms OF q
resolution in the house today by Rep
resentative Jones. The resolution pro-
vides that the court shall act as adj
visers to the lawmakers in all mat
tiers where a constitutional question IL
involved.
The Jones resolution was offered by
request. A similar resolution has
been offered at former sessions of the
Legislature The Jones plan would
permit either branch OF the state leg
islature to call upon members of the
supreme court to interpret c0nStitu-
tionaE questions before they are passed
upon by the law makers. Through
the provisions of the resolution, 1t IL
claimed that litigants would be saved
thousands of dollars annually through
the legal fights to determine the con-
stitutionality of legislative enactments.

Declares Ida Tarbcll Before In-
dustrial Relations Conmlttee.
tBy John e. Nevin.l


New York. Jan. 1o.-Scientific man-
asement Is = silent revolution aiding all
workmen, in the opinion of Ida Tar
bell, original muck-raker. She testified
today before the federal commission ON
industrial relations. Several OF the
commissioners took exception. Commits
sioner 0arretson heckled Miss Tarbell
somewhat severely but she held her
own well. in the face of q series OF
questions designed to show that the
democracy and better relations between
employer and employed, really created
individual despotism that threatened
the humiliation of the entire labor
movement
Mos Tarbell admitted she realized
that in tn, past bonus systems had
been used to increase production and
reduce wages. But she insisted under
the present system the American em-
ployer is rapidly taking the position
that the more wages q man earns for
himself the more dividends he pro-
duces for his employer.
Miss Tarbell enthusiastically de-
Tended the steel industry which she
said, was one Of the Industries Of the
nation that has seen the writing" al
she. tearfully admitted that at the
present time women. stripped nearly
to the waist, stocked cock furnaces In
Pennsylvania and other states. She
declared, however, this was one Of the
abuses that are rapidly being elimi-
mated by the new day" In the steel
industry. It was the steel men. she
said, that originated the ; slogan.
