From Fit. Worth Record.
Washington, Aug. 25.-The shippers
of the Panhandle of Texas and of the
Pecos Valley Of New Mexico have won
one of the most sweeping victories
in the history of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, after a protracted
hearing, the members deciding that
the Santa Fe, as the principal defend
ant and key to the rate situation, had
bottled up the Pecos Valley and was
retarding it's development by about
as exorbitant a system of freight rates
as the commission has mad to deal
with in many a day.
AS a result sweeping order has
been entered by the commission re-
quiring wholesale reduction in the
rates on almost every commodity re-
quired by human beings 20 sustain
life and to promote the welfare of
communities and to forward progress.
Not in recent years, at any rate, has
the board found such a wholesale pol
icy of taxing the traffic all that it will
bear, and the case is declared to be a
shining example of what communi-
ty may expect when dependent on one
railroad, unless federal authorities in
terfere.
The commissions finding is all the
more astonishing because the Santa
Fe road claims to have made an espe-
cial effort to colonize the sections re
ferred to and has spent large sums of
money for years advertising the val
ley, which becomes a veritable gar
den when irrigated.
Now it would appear from the deci-

MEETINGPOSTPONED
Republicans Have Decided to Wait
Until Constitutional Convention
Completes It's Work.

Guthrie, July 2-The Republican
state convention will not be held at
Tulsa July l2, but will again be post
poned. Such move is favored by
Gov Frantz, Delegate Bird Mcclure
and Secretary Filson, who gave au-
thorized interviews yesterday. The
constitutional convention meets in
Guthrie July 10. IL will probably not
complete its work for a week or ten
days. The Republican convention
would be forced either TO adjourn or
adopt a platform condemniug or en-
dorsing constitution without knowl-
edge as to what the constitution will
contain. The delay will be brief, ex-
tending only until the convention
completes and files the constitution
"We have it from reliable sources
that the constitution is to be chang
ed, said Secretary Filson, land we
can't afford to get out on a limb by
acting on the constitution until it is
completed"
