We congratulate the Democratic
party for the inserting in Our consti-
tuition the two-cent fare provision on
railways in this state, and the placing
OF the same into practical operation.
Such operation shows that it has
come TO stay. The railway reports for
the fiscal year 1908 show that the pas
senger earnings under the two-cent
basis is IN excess of that Of the pre-
vious year under the three-cent fare
basis BY this provision alone, the
Democratic party has made an annual
saving 10 the people OF Oklahoma
more than the taxes necessary to sup
port the state government

BILLS CARRYING LARGE SUMS
TO BE SIDETRAcKED BY
THE LEADERS.
Appalachian Reserve and Drainage
Measures are to be Vigorously
n Opposed. They have tho Speak
or as Ally.

Washington, Feb. 18.-A plan was
evolved by Speaker Cannon and the
other leaders of the house who are
opposing increasing appropriations
by the present congress for sidetrack-
ing most of the measures calling for
large appropriations, notably the Ap-
pala chan reserve, drainage and kind
red matters by having the measures
referred to the committee on judici-
ary for report regarding the con-
stitutionality of these bills.
Attention is called to the fact that
that the United States supreme court
In a recent decision gave an intima-
tion that appropriations by congress
for irrigation and kindred projects
nnd no warrant In the Federal Con-
stitution. The question was not
squarely before the courts, and the
comment made was simply side re-
mark in deciding a contest between
two states regarding the control Of
. river.
The plan for submitting these ques-
tions to the judiciary committee has
already been adopted with reference
to the Appalachian forest reserve,
and it is now proposed by the leaders
to take the same step with respect to
the drainage bills.
Until the committee shall have made
a report, it is regarded as settled that
no measures relating to forestry,
drainage, or irrigation will have
chance in the present house if the
bills do not apply wholly to public
lands or Indian lands within the
different states. All bills which affect
private lands in the manner desired
through forestry or drainage projects
will be deferred until the legal ques~
tions involved have been determined
80 far as the judiciary committee has
authority to settle these legal pro-
blems.

and the forge.
He has carvings that he made from
wood picked up at Johnstown after
the great food; from wood that came
from the railroad wrecks at Shoe
makersville, Exeter and Ludwig's:
from wood used for building purposes
at the Pan-American exposition, and
from nearly every old church Of
