hood and being qualified for statehood
should be carefully distinguished.
Oklahoma has been qualified for
statehood for at least fourteen years.
IL has been promised sta;uhood for at
least twelve years.
Both political parties have had the
promise OF statehood in tho last three
, natlonal platforms.
During all these years a congress, a
majority of whose members are Re-
politicians, has quietly turned down
statehood for Oklahoma, ignoring
definite promises. Bill after bill has
been pigeon-holed on ilimsy excuses.
The people know the history of the
whole miserable affair by heart
Now we have a chance for statehood
that may not come against in eighteen
moro years
The point Is, VIII the people of Okla
homa lis;en TO any more siren songs

fore the Interstate Commerce Com

tons and combinations of carriers, re-
iations between railroads and commu-
nifty of interest therein, their rates.
facilities ard practices.
Special counsel for the government
made particular attack on the reorgan-
ization and financing of the Chicago K
Alton railroad by the Hartman syndi-
cate, and their action, with challenge
by counsel for the railroads OF the
right of the Interstate Commerce Com
rossion to inquire into the private
transactions OF an individual, consu-
1uted the two chief events of the days
proceedings.
Mr.. Hartman declined to tell what
proportion of the preferred stock OF
the Alton sold to the Union Pacific be-
longed to him individually, and the
way was paved for taking the question
into the Federal Courts. The point
laised involves a material Limitation
cn the inquisitorial power Of the com
mission, and is of serious importance
to the whole question of interstate cor
Loration investigation.
