GASOLINE ALLEY—Safe and Sane
That two mighty forces are making
viaus tor - chanza in laws, which, if
put in effect, would wreck the con-
stitution, was the warning of S. P.
Freeling to the Oklahoma State Bar
association Friday night. Freeling
was principal speaker at the associa-
tion's annual banquet.
Strange volcea are demanding
things that would take away the pow-
er of the supreme court he declared.
If the plan la adopted, advocated by
these strange voices of having seven
of the njne justices concur in passing
on ths constitutionality of a law, then
the power of thia matter practically
would be placed in the handa of three
men, Freeling warned.
Change in Goverament Talked.
Other forces, headed by LaFollette
and Brookhart, are advocating a
change in government which would
permit congress to repass a measure
after the court had held it unconsti- '
tullonal and It as a consequence would ,
become a law in spite of the court
ruling. ,
If there is to be a return to consti-
tutional government the lawyers of
the country must take the lead in the
movement and educate the people to
it, Freeling declared.
The association elected Walter A [
Lybrand of Oklahoma City, for ten
years secretary of the organisation,
president; Mont F. Highiey, also of
Oklahoma City, secretary, and W. L.
Eagleton Jr. of Tulsa, treasurer.
Executive Committee Named.
Lybrand, Eagleton, Highly, N. A.
Gibson, James IL Tolbert, Charles
O'Connor, J. Q. Ralls, and J. D.
ICarmichal, were elected members of
the executive committee. Gibson, C. |
W. King, of Oklahoma City, and E.
T. Noble, of Okmulgee, were chosen
delegates to the national convention
of the American Bar association.
