Guthrie. Okla. May lS.-To compel
all public utilities to recharter is the
latest method advocated IN Oklahoma
TO control such concerns and to pre-
vent the creation of monopolies, The
originator of this plan is former State
Senator David p. Marum Of Wood
ward. who, as chairman of the griey-
ance committee of the Oklahoma State
Bar association made khe suggestion
in the committees oiIigal report that
the state Of Oklahoma build its own
railroads. Senator Marina is promin-
ent In Oklahoma state politics. at the
present time being chairman of the
state committee that has charge Of
the democratic press bureau.
Senator Marums suggestion, that
all public utilities be rechartered, was
made in a supplement, which has just
been issued by him, to the report of
the committee Of the state bar asso-
citation. He says that after adyocat-
ing that the state build its own rail
roads, this additional idea presented
itself, and therefore he incorporated it
in supplement form to the original
report He maintains that under the
state constitution Of Oklahoma, when
the provision is yitalized by an act
of the legislature or by law initiated
by the people, the state can build her
own methods Of transportation with
her own money, now loaned at low
rate in eastern cities
Relative to his new plan for pre-
venting monopolies. Senator Marum
said:
"The first duty OF the state is to the
invaded by wiIdSHRDLUI
thereof Should any commun
ity be invaded by a wild and danger
ous beast, running at large, the peo-
pie would at once destroy it. Should |
the same OF similar beast be brought |
to the same community in a strong |
cage, so that it could not injure any
one. there would be no desire to de- /
stroy it, On the other hand, it would
be admired for some of its qualities,
and efforts would be made to tame
and utilize 1t. So with the corpora
lions or combinations of capital-it is
either good or bad, as it is given un-
limited license or properly controlled.

KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.

T.
Kansas City Stock Yards, May IT,
here was a light run of quarantine
cattle here last week and the market
made a small net gain for the week,
active every day The condition of
the meat trade is satisfactory. con
sumptive demand is expanding, and
the situation is much better than a
few weeks ago. Supply of quarantines
here today exceeds anybody's expecta-
tions, reaching a total of 145 car loads
but the market is active, steers steady
to 10 lower, cows steady. Three diff
ferent lots of Oklahoma steers sold
at S6.4O today. others at $6.25 and
$6.35, and Texas steers brought $5.65
to $500 for most sales, weights from
1895 to 1920 Some fancy Oklahoma
heifers sold at $6.40 in quarantine
division today, plain cows at $4.70 a
string of Texas cows at $4.25 several
car load lots of veal calves from both
Texas and Oklahoma at $3.50 to $3.50.
The good run of quarantines today
was sold and weighed up before noon,
as demand from buyers is keen for
medium priced steers, with which to

natives AS general proposition,
feeders are holding on to their un-
finished cattle better than a few
weeks ago, having gained confidence
from the firm undertone which the
market continues to exhibit
The nog run last week was 10000
head, decrease Of 10000 head as
compared with same week a year ago
The market advanced 10 cents during
the week. but prices are to 10 lower
today. supply $4,000 head. The bear
feature today is a run at Chicago ten
Thousand head greater than estimates
for today. General conditions are
favorable to the trade demand for all
kinds of meats heavy, stimulated by
the fact that pork is cheaper relative
ly than either beef or muttons. Heav-
ier receipts later this month and in
June may cause some losses in the
hog market, but no serious damage
can be done to prices until grass cat
tie and sheep come freely and the
only thing that can cheaper these

LAKE ICE BREAKS UP
ON APRIL 20

Launch owners are looking wistfully at

ice will leave earlier than usual There
are many people in the town who own
boats of one kind or another, and to
whom the boating on the lake is the
main attraction of our local life.
70 those who are unacquainted with
the fact, it can be stated that the ice will
disappear on or about the 20th day of this
month The Pilot has not been consult
ing fortune teller to get this informa-
ton, but we are taking the statement of
old-timers who have taken note of this
event for years, and who say that the ice
goes out of the lake every year at or near
the goth. There has been years when
the ice disappeared few days earlier
than this, and sometimes a few days
later, but it usually occurs within day
of the Goth.
