by a very decisive vote, resolution
providing for submission of section D.
article 8. of the constitution to pop
ular vote as to whether 1t shall re-
main a part of the constitution or be
eliminated
No unfriendly criticism of the con-
stitution is INDUCED in by those who
are most earnestly urging submission
Of this section to a vote; they agree
generally that the intention of the
section was to prevent consolidation,
which it does, but while it does that
it also prevents the building of any
more lines of road Another section
prevents consolidation of lines which
are competing, so that this particular
seems to add nothing to the strength
of the constitution in any particular
and certainly furnishes a valid obiec-
tion to capitalizing new railroad lines
in the state. For that matter, railroad
consolidation is entirely immaterial
SO far as the public interest is con
cerned, so long as there is a corpora
tion commission with power to adjust
rates and prevent discrimination On
the contrary, the only evil Of consoli-
dation, as it affects the public, is that
monopoly which enables prices to be
raised or service to be reduced. The
power of corporation commissions to
regulate these things has resulted III

there is no necessity for such string

solidation

ne nrice What difference can It pos
sibly make to the public whether one
man or a dozen deliver the goods?
Who will say that forty struggling
independent short lines OF railroad
can furnish better service for less
cost to the people Of Oklahoma than
a few large systems with through con
nections. that start from some place
and go somewhere?
At this time Oklahoma people have
an illustration of this in the fact tnat
on one new, independent line such
a showing was made to the corpora
tion commission that the commission
reinstated a 3-cent fare, and the rail
road presented figures proving that 1t
had actually lost money from its oper'
alton. Who pays this difference in
rates? The public. If this road were
a part of one of the large systems
doing business in the state it would
not only furnish better service and
equipment, but it could collect only
the 2-cent fare. From the larger, con
tinuous railroad systems the state OF
Oklahoma and the counties through
which they run collect taxes on val
uation of $4,000 to $4,000 per mile,
while on the. new feeders and inde-
pendent lines the valuation runs as
low as $4,000 per mile. 1t Is there
fore, to the obvious interest of the
neople of Oklahoma that the railway
mileage should be valuable and in
crease in value is impossible unless
the line pays interest on the invest
ment. In no manner whatever can
the people benefit from being served
by poorly equipped, struggling lines
even if it were possible to get money
to build them under such conditions
1t is to be confidently hoped thai
the house will follow up, without de
lay, in passing the resolution to sub
nit this matter to a vote, and there
appears little doubt that the section
will be eliminated by a majority ex
preston of the voters of this state
To say the least the majority in thu
senate for the resolution was so de
cisive that if it is in any degree eS
pressive of the sentiment among tn
people an opportunity ought to b
presented for plebiscite without fun
ther hesitation-Ok Oklahoman.

LET ME TELL YOU.

AS the noise of the gavel, last Thurs
day night, was heard in the hall of the
Jewish Literary Society, calling to OF.
der the literati, that constitute the
Board of Directors of this most not
able and noble organization (where
the resonant sound of the call of our
real motto: Literature, Culture and
Judaism has SO often awakened the
smoldering fires of enthusiasm in the
breasts of some of our members af
flicted with inertia), certain gravity
seemed to pervade the atmosphere
gravity heretofore unknown at these
meetings.
The "thusness" for this was occa-
stoned by an article appearing in the
Jewish Herald, written by the erudite
Chofshi-a veritable Jeremiah, lament
ing the preclusion of Jewish thought
in misnamed child, that had strayed
ION the Faith of Yehudah Halevic
philosophy, to the secular realms of
the Immortality of Washington AMI
Lincoln.
In all the bright galaxy the bright
est star is our noble President who,
after taking up all the space in last
weeks issue of the Herald, delivered
himself of a BETTING eulogy Cat the

not that careless. Just spoiled his

a motto right along, and we shall have

rock of righteous living and find peace

A good poem we'll read and read in

the preamble of our constitution. Cul-

the bravery of our gallant soldiers,
and will relate to you their heroic
deeds, if you are seeking for facts.
