CORPORATION coMMIs


No public official ever mas been. able
to work fast enough to suit the most
exacting friend, and none will ever
attain that desideratum Hence there
need be 10 surprise that some criti-
tize the Cooperation commission of
Oklahoma. although those Of us who
understand the work done, and the
wonderful amount that was required
before the commission could even COM
mence to make a showing, marvel at
such criticism. A correspondent in a
recent issue of The Leeader asked
why rates on certain commodities OF
commerce we're not yet such tliat re-
cuction vas now in force and effect,
/ but. while the correspondent intend
ed no criticism in his query, such
might be inferred by the careless read
en-.
Less than two months ago The
Leader printed a page of rates, com,
pairing tnem with the rates charged
before the Corporation Commission
came into being and the same met
the appreciation OF almost ali the peo
PIE OF our state. The commission had
made the rates uniform; prohibited ex
cessive charges FOR short hauls or long
ones. making the roads carry freight
and passengers at fair rate to both
arties concerned.
1he rate on farm products was Civ
on attention first because the old
rate was SO unfair some changes were
forced by exigencies.
l'he commission has handled thou
