The Trades Council Gives
Grounds for Their
Position
I!y a unanimous vote the Chickasha
Trades Council la.-it night adopted a re-
port of a special committee which con-
denins the proposed city charter.
The full report of the committee set-
ting forth the reasons for the position
j taken Its as follows:
j We your committee appointed to in-
vest.igate the merits of the proposed
j ciiarter'for the city of t'liirkasha
be submitted to a vote of the
for 'their adoption or rejection
eentber 13 next beg leave to
the following report:
In the outse we wish .o state that
we have rt studied the i.rooosed
- ;;
u .er froivr any partisan or class
standpoint whatever bat it has been
our object all through our investiga-
tion to determine if possible the effect
which its adoption might have upon
'he population at large and the wel-
fare and future growth of the city of
j Chickasha as a w hole.
j We find that the freeholders elected
to write a charier for Chickasha ad-
opted the .McAlestcr ehar.er as a
whsie with a fev changes some of
which are aa follows: Where khe
word MeAlester appeared it was
erased and Chickasha written in its
stead. Where the McAiester charter
provided for the election of a police
judge the office was made appointive
for Chickasha; where the MeAlester
charer required twenty-live (20) per j
cent of the number of votes cast at the
last preceding general election to in-;
Mitite rt call prccei'dings against a !
conniti-sioner it was changed to thir-1
'ty.flve (3S) per cent of the number of j
vo es cast at the last preceiling elec- j
" ion lor state and county officers in i
f h-ickasha.
Two sections were added to the Mc-
etiarter. viz: beet ions 10 and
j11 - r!'' ' Following are a few
I cf objectionable features of the
charter as proposed:
Public service corporations are
more favored than the people;
(Art. ! section 2 1 as. thirty-five per
cent of the number of votes cast at the
I last preceding general election for
stole ar.d county ofiicers are required

! her of votes cast at the last preceding j

I required to call a special election to

. Articles 1 section 2 -makes 'the re- '
call almost an impossibility by requir- j
lug thirty-five per cent of the number;
; of votes cast at the las; general elec-
tion for state and county officers. j
! It is also in conflict with the spirit j
I of the state ecus itution which re-1
; attires only twenty-five per cent of the ;
number of votes cast at the last niu-
j sloipal elertior. on a petition to se- J
jrure a referendum vo e on any phase j
of municipal legislation. J
Should one or more of the cynuuia- j
isioncrs be recalled the people are de-j
prived the right to elect their ancces- j
j sors. (Art. 3. section 0) but the re-1
jmalning commissioner or commission-j
i ers shall fi!t the vacancy by appoint- j
j menl thus carrying the appointive j
: power to the extreme limit. If all i
I three of the commissioners should be
'recalled or their offices become va-
cant through any cause the city
I would be without a government as no
: provision is made to elect a comn.'-v
1 sloner except at a general election.
Article 10 section 10 discriminates j the seven licensed Indian traders that

The bitter speech of Representative
i Cornell was pract ically the only active
; opposition which developed today to
the Thompson-Durant capital hill which
i provides for a capital commission
j which shall have the power to locate
j the capital building. All amendments
'Substituting the names of other towns
in place or that of Oklahoma City were
voted down. Among those towns bur-
- gested in amendments to the capital !
' bill were Chickasha. Shawnee Ard-
i more. Enid and Guthrie.
' That the legislature will not adjourn
i until the middle or latter part of next
; week despite the statement of Presi-
. den; J. Elmer Thomas president pro
tern of the senate Thursday afternoon
; ij the effect that it was the desire of
the members to adjourn Saturday was
i-evideucetl Thursday af.ernoou by thej
action of the house and senate in fail-
ing to pass the capital bill. It will be
t impossible at this time for the s-peeial
; session to adjourn before next Monday
! night.
A unique situation prevails in the
senate. Thus far five bills have been
introduced. Senate bill No. -I' by
Thompson- provides for the immediate
location of the capital in Oklahoma
; City and the creation of a board of
; capitol commissioners to have full
: charge of the erection of the .build-'
i logs
j Senate hill No. 2 by Senator Red-
; wine provides for the location of the
j capital and the appoitnment. of
; a committee from the senate
and house to report upon a suitable
I site for the state buildings. Both of j
j these bills are in the hands of the J
senate capital commi.tee consisting of j
' Senators Thompson. Eggerman Echols '
Newell Barefoot Anderson Vander- j
' venter. Landrum. Stewart Hendricks j
Hatchett. Denton Pcrter Brownlee I
' and Beeler. j
If the house had passed the capital!
' bill Thursday afternoon it is probable 1
i that the capital committee would have
reported upon the Redwine and Thomp-
son bills but as matters now stand it 1
is doubtful if the committee will sub- l
init a report before Saturday. That
' Senator Reriwine's measure .meets with
; opposition is apparent. Senator Thorn p.
; son's measure is more generally liked.
The introduction of a resolution I
: Thursday afternoon by Senators Wil- -iliams
and Coffy providing for the ap-
' pointment of a joint committee from '
; t he house and senate is 'practically -the
; same as Senator Redwine's bill in tha
: it gives the committeemen full authori-
ty to select and pass upon the sites ot
fered. This resolution was tabled an- :
other indication of the fact that the
senate does not wish to act until the .
house lias made a move.

speaking campaign of Oov-elect Eu-
gene N. Pors of "Massachusetts against
the return of Henry Cabot Lodge to the
United tSa.es senate was opened- here
Thursday.
In beginnine his address Mr. Foss
said that the verdict cf the people of
the Cape Cod district in electing him
to congress last spring "sealed the
doom of Cannonism" compelled the
national administration to seek' reci-
procal trade relations wilth Canada
caused Senators Aldrich and Hale to
"abdicate 'their eats in tthe United
Slates senate id gave the country a-
large the flrst real hope of tariff re-
vision." Speaking directly of Senator
Lodge Mr. Foss said:
''Work'.ig on in silence and secrecy
he resorts to his self-constituted ma-
chine the machine which had domi-
nated Massachusse' ts 'politically for
years. He is seeking the counsels of
those whom be serves the privileged
interests and has ignored the verdict
of the people. He has ignored the fact
that he should represent the people
and considers that he is the representa-
tive of special interests believing that
their endorsement is all-sufficient for
him."
"What legislation in the interests of
the'people bears his name?" asked Mr.
Foss. who answered his own question
by saying: "Only one bill 'that I re-
call bears his name and that is the
Force bill a measure that caused ev-
ery honest -man to blush."
Senator Lodge's attitude toward the
Payne-Aldrich tariff was condemned
by the governor-elect who devoted
considerable time to a detailed anal-
ysis of Mr. Lodge's position regarding
the tariff on wool and woolen goods.
