position of the flag also fixes the
charges on the dial so that you can
cuss them without being charged for

to use cab simply to travel a GER

Senator Owen of Oklahoma made
splendid impression in the senate
when he debated the Aldrich bill,
says a Washington correspondent.
Mr. Owen exhibited a perfect COM
mand of language and a fine pres
ence when he made his maiden
speech. Later, however, he unfor-
tunately advocated an amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill which
would operate to remove all the re-
structions which congress has placed
around the transfer of his lands by
the Indian, legislation based on the
idea that the Indian is not yet COM
petent TO deal with white men and
part bloods without getting cheated.
Mr. Owen took the ground that mas
much as the Indians of the five civ
ilized tribes had been absorbed by
the state of Oklahoma, they were no
longer Indians, but citizens of the
United States. The unfortunate
feature of the affair was that Sena-
tor Owen has secured options on
about 5000 acres of the finest land
in Oklahoma which he is seeking to
purchase from the Indians at prices
which the secretary of the interior
maintains are merely nominal. I'm
der these circumstances the new sen
ator lost in one day all the ground
he had gained in the senate on the
day previous.

Precautions Passenger Ought tt
Take in Using Them.

Some people do not yet under
stand dial rates" said an officer of
the cab company, land so cannot CO.
operate with US in our efforts to have
their rides cost just the specified rate
For one thing, the meter is absolutely
accurate in its measure of distance
and time for a stop. If the cab runs
even foot over a quarter of mile,
1t will charge for the next fraction.
Moreover, II at the end Of trip, the
little flag is not thrown into the
payment position at once, the meter
must go on charging for time stop
at the rate of 2-3 cents a minute.
1t may be that the trip is just one
minute short of the fare for the next
quarter-mile and this delay may
make 10 cents pop up on the dial.
Cab users should see that flag is
rightly set. These rules are import
ant.
"On entering a cab at stand, SEE
that the dial is blank. The driver will
then turn the flag. which rings UP sc
cents-the initial charge. II but one
or two passengers are to use the We
hicle, see that the flag is where 8
O'Clock would be on a regular clock.
This will show the figure 1 on RED
indicator at the tariff part Of the
dial. This insures the charging of
the tariff for two persons only, or
tariff number one. II II be a four
passenger vehicle occupied by more
than two persons, the flag should
point straight down where s o'clock
is indicated on a clock dial. This
will cause a black indicator with the
figure two marked on IL to appear
on the dial under the word tariff.
