THE RAILWAYS.
*++++

The influence OF OklshomsS col
poration laws and oklahoma's cor
poratlon commission is already he
ginning to be felt 1t was noticeable
in the first place in the promptncss
with which tho railroads entering the
state put the 2-cent passenger fare
into effect. Up to two days before
the time when the constitution was TO
go into effect, carrying with 1t the
2-cent fare provision, only one rail-
road and that a small one, had an
nounced its intention of putting the
low fare into effect in accordance
with that provision, President Win
chell of the Rock Island was in Okla
homa at the time and was the first
to announce that his road would
comply with the provisions of tho
constitution, declaring at the same
time its intention to take advantage
of tho clause which allows tho rail
roads to make a showing before the
commission that they cannot make a
reasonable profit on the 2-cen basis
and allows the commission to restore
the Scent rate on any road which
makes satisfactory showing of that
sort, His announcement was speed
ly followed by others of similar pur-
port from the Santa Re, Katy and
Frisco officials All of tho roads will
undoubtedly follow the Rock Islands
lead in appearing before the COM
mission and cudeayoring to make a
showing to the effect that they arc
making no money on 2-cent fares,
and that feature of the law alone will
make business good for the commits,
sion.
