displayed in the city this season was
placed In the office of T. H. Dwyer at
the Chickasha National bank today by

ton which according to his report will
prodce a good yield.

the action of the councilmen last night
in refusing to consider Mrs. Wilson's

Li
DISCUSSE
At Governors Conference;
Wilson Stands Up fcr
Direct Legislation.
Telegram by United Press.
Spring Lake N. J. Sept. 13. Lia-
bility and workingmens' compensation
were the subjects of discussion at the
governors' conference today. Gover-
nors Ray of Washington and Foss of
Massachusetts were the principal
6peakers on the Question of uniform
state laws on the subject of employ
ers' liability.
Governor Carey of Wyoming de-
clared that marriage denied after di-
vorce In one state should be illegal In
all states. 1
Gov. Hay told iiow Washington had
solved the workmen's compensation
problem asserting that no private en-
terprise can cope with the porblem.
He scores as "social parasites" the in-
demnity casualty and liability com-
panies and declared only one sixth of
tne money collected from Washington
employers in 1909 ever reached the In-
jured workman or his family. This
evil now is remedied in Washington.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New.
Jersey and Governor Emmett O'Neal
of Alabama measured swords over
the Initiative and referendum before
the conference of governors Tuesday
afternoon. Governor Wilson as cham-
pion of the measures replied to Gov-
ernor O'Neal who had previously de-
nounced them as "an insidious popular
vagary" and the southern executive
was on his feet in a moment with an
lmpassiorod defense of his position.
There was no mincing of words in
the Alabaman's denunciation of the
Initiative referendum and recall
which he complained left a governor
no'power to veto or amend a law If
It Is initiated by the people and adopt-
ed by referendum.
"If the law is in violation of the
constitution invades vested rights
or destroys individual liberty the only
remedy can be found in. the courts
and when the system of recall of
judges prevails overthrowing as it
does the independence of the Judici-
ary the courts would degfeerat
tribunals ordained chiefly to register
popular judgment on all legal ques-
tion." It was pleasing to know he
added (hat this "insidious popular va-
gary will meet with the almost unan
imous opposition of the American
bar."
Governor Wilson did not reply un-
til several Western governors had
spoken.
"It seems to me" he said "that on
the question of the initiative and ref-
erendum it is necessary that we car-
ry the analysis a little further than it
has been carried. A very Important
thing a fundamentally importpnl
thing is the source of the law. Soma
of the laws that we have are bad laws
and they are bad for the reason that
there is a suspicion as to their source.
The people of the United States want
their governors to be leaders In mat-
ters of legislation because they hava
serious suspicion as to the source of
the legislation and they have a serious
distrust of their legislatures.
"What I urge as against the views
of Governor O'Neal is that there is
nothing inconsistent between ths
strengthening of the powers of the ex-
ecutive and the direct power of th
people."
He then spoke of the caprice of the
majority.
"I have known of instances of tne
caprice of the ruobs" he said "but I
have never known of an Instance
where the vote of the population was
spoken of as a caprice.
"I don't believe there is any distrust
of the fundamental principle of demo-
cracy. I believe we are all democrats
if we use a small 'd.' "
