THE feasibility of establishing some form OF
quasi official organization which shall act
medium between the railroads OF the country and
the federal government is being seriously Consid-
the Interior and Commerce and Labor and the
Solicitor General, to whom the President has con-
tided the responsibility of working out his plans
with regard to federal control of the railroads
This President has called the attention OF his ad-
visers TO the fact that a single body charged
simultaneously with quasi-judcial and admins
trative functions. as is now the with the In
terstate Commerce Commission, is constantly ham
pered In its efforts 10 ascertain the facts by the
antagonism which IS inevitably. engendered a
result Of It's being compelled TO conduct prosecu-
tons. Another proposition which is being consid-
cred IS divorcng the administrative and judicial
functions Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
vestgating functions OF the commission TO another
body, probably the bureau OF corporations OF the
Department OF Commerce and Labor. thus leaving
tho commission with only judicial functions
What's this talk about lowering the size Of

As the result Of corner in May wheat whereby
Patten, Chicago speculator, cleared millions OF
dollars. the price OF -four advanced and the bakers
advanced the price OF bread in Chicago at the
same time making the loaves smaller. There was
a sharp drop in July wheat. and Patten stopped a
slump by heavy buying. Many small SPECTATORS

Oklahoma City Jan. II, 1908.
Il. E. Burt, Esq,
Chickasha, Okla.
Dear Sir: Owing to the recent snow
storms and general bad weather, we
find that # is going TO be Impossible
for US to open our new $4,000 Metro
politan Theater here on Jan. "A as
we expected. which we are building
as permanent home for the Metro
politan Stock Company
This compac~, headed by Miss Jes-
saline Rogers. for several years lead
ing woman in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston stock companies, has been
engaged, and rehearsing in New York
for The past four weeks, and will ar
rive here Jan. p, expecting to open
the new theater
As above stated, our opening will
have to be postponed for one week,
and rather than allow them TO grow
stale, as 1t were, we have decided to
keep the edge right on their present
efficient condition, by going en- tour
for one week only This is certainly
a very unique condition Of affairs, and
win give the people Of your city an
opportunity to see this crack organiza-
ton before Oklahoma Cityians them
selves
The play selected for the opening
is entitled The Three Of Us II had
run Of a solid year and half at the
Madison Square Theater in New York.
It was originally booked to play at the
Overholser opera house on Sunday,
Feb. !, at prices ranging from % cents
to $3.50. AS our prices here (Which
viii never change) range from 25
cents to IS cents''st is our intention to
play you at the same prices, in order
that your patrons may never subse-
quently learn the difference, and come
back at you with the accusation of
having stung them by charging 81 and
S1.5O, which you might easily do con
sidering this attraction was originally
booked throughout the state at these
! prices.
You need have no hesitancy in
heartily indorsing this play, or com.
pany, as 1t is strictly first class in
every sense Of the word, and gives
You one Of the opportunities which
local managers SO rarely get, and that
Is giving their patrons a bully good
show at reasonable prices. Unfortu-
nately the public are apt to confuse
the idea that if the show does not
charge $3.50 It cannot be any good
and this is where sincerely trust
you viii exercise al the influence i'm
your power III our behalf.
Yours very truly,
Geo. H. Jordan
