DRIVEN INTO EARTH BY FALLING TREE has been a subject of much discussion ohlefly because of the nolltlcal con troversy over th question of it ap proval by the president whose approval and proclamation are necessary before Oklahoma can be placed on the state hood roil. While partisan bias baa caused considerable criticism of the constitution It has many features which are likely to commend themselves the publio without distinction aa political creed. Among these are the provisions against child labor, those prohibiting the Issuance of watered stocks and making the books of quasl publlo corporations subject at all time to Inspection, th employers' liability iaw, me eignt-nour law zor state, county and municipal work and the provisions for stringent regulation of railroads and other large corporations. xne constitution contains several fea tures that embody the latest Ideas on the subject of government by the people namely, th initiative and referendum and nomination of officers by direct primary Instead of through the party convention system.
