YOAKLlM, ARDENT BELIEVER
 INV FUTURE OF SOUTHWEST

It is only few years since BIZ. Yoakum came to New York from Texas his native State. says The New York World. He lives on his farm on Long Island, on which he raises big crops, and incidentally operates about 15.000 miles of railroad in the West He works without looking at the clock, and never forgets that. big as New York is. the great empire west of the Mississippi Is bigger still. Now and then, besides running his farm, writ ing for the magazines and operating his railroads. he is induced to make . speech. He does not call them speeches, but just common-sense talks He has recently returned from Okla homa, where he talked to an audience of farmers at Shawnee. He came back full of enthusiasm over Oklahoma, what has been done out there, what the State now is. and what he thinks Is the great destiny awaiting her In the future. He believes in her splendid possibilities in the patriotism of her lpu bile men. who are engaged In work- Ing out her problems. and. above all, in her farmers. He thinks that some mistakes have been made, but that all these are due to the fact that Oklaho- ma put on her crown of Statehood at a time when the whole country was in turmoil of hostility against rail roads, partly the railroads fault and partly stirred up by tli-informed politicians who were playing to the galleries. When called upon at his farm on Long Island Mir. Yoakum was asked:
 'Mr. Yoakum. if you owned farm like this in Oklahoma and wanted to make 1t worth $50 an acre more than it Is now worth, what would you recom- mend in the way of changes in the jaws of that StateT'
 What Followed in Iowa.
 T will answer that question In this way" replied MT. Yeakum. The value of farm lands all over the United States depends on the relation of the railroad mileage to the numbers of acres of land in a given State. Take Iowa, for example. She has 36,000.000 acres of land and 10000 miles of rail- road. Try >to buy 6 farm there and you will find s125 an acre the usual price. Why? Simply because every farm in the State has the service of railroad within e few miles of 1t. Wig orous men are living today who re member when you could buy the best land in Iowa at s5 an acre. The men who owned these lands encouraged the building of railroads and framed their laws accordingly. The result Is thai Iowa is a net work of railroads, ana the farmer can shoot his live stock, his grain. his milk, and his other products into the big markets of the country and get city prices for country produce"
 "Don't you believe in railroad reg ulation?"
 q certainly do. and I have gone on record in ravor of it a hundred times. But remember that Oklah oma Is not Massachusetts nor New York. In other words, Oklahoma, by her laws ought to bid for railroads. and when they come she will know how to regulate them. Speaking as an Oklahoma farm CT. since you have asked me to assume that role, if were farming in Okla homa I should stand for laws which would cover the State with railroads With this accomplished there would be no trouble about their regulation.
