ment. Thia government i* a dele
gation of power* by the people to
the executive, tl^e legi*lalive and
judicial brauche*. TllO*e powers
not enumerated are reserved to the
people. The peopl« are the prin-
cipal; the legislature in one of the

constitution* except this one, re-
tain* power over the legislative
agent. In the Oklahoma constitu-
tion the principal nurrender* all
power over eoi poration* to the
agent When that was done the
constitution cessed to he cons', itti
lion.
There are sixteen section* devot-
ed to the rule of corporation*
These are tundeinental rules. They
are written a* basic principle*. And
aft r the constituti m ha* recited
them it than provides that the leg
isUture may repeal, alter, amend,
change them at any time, may
change in other word* the fnnde
mental law regardless of the people
It is an odd document, written
for political effect, and it is no
certain thing that it will ever be
a constitution in fact. Roosevelt
will have his say, and he will have
the help of the great cnnstitntional
lawyer* ol the country. — Wichita
