SAYS OKlAHOMA'S CAUSE
WAS ABLY PRESENTED
Railroads Not Allowed to Pre-
sent Both Sides, From Their
Own Standpoint

Col. Jack Love. chairman of the
corporation commission who attend
esl the hearing at st. Louis. returns
home with deep conviction that the
state will win its cases before the
Federal court at ST. Louis, argument
In which was concluded last Friday.
The cases referred to are those
wherein the M. X. a. T. Santa Fe and
Midland Valley railroads ere seeking
to preyent the state authorities OF
Oklahoma from enforcing The two
cent passenger fare rate and II or
ders OF the corporation commission
affecting commodity rates through
cut the state. The railroads have
been claiming that the freight and
passenger i.les were conliscatory
and unconstitutional.
Aruument inconsistent
The statements OF the railroads
that these rates a'e confscatory are
not entirely consistent with the state
ments filed by them with the commits
slohers, and the facts ascertained by
an examination of their books at the
railroads head offices" said Col.
Love. according TO the figures sub
mitted by them TO us, the railroads
nre making more money per train
mile in Oklahoma and running at a
smaller cost per mile than in any
other state through which these roads
run. They carry more passengers,
make more money on the passenge-
trade and carry them for less cost
than they do in any other state they
I'm through.
"The main object OF the suits in
my Judgment. is TO test the rights OF
the states to regulate the railroads
They could hardly have any other OBJ
iect when il is remembered that thei1
statemenfs 10 the corporation COM
mission show the roads are paying
\ vsore than 6 per cent on investment
in Oklahoma. They a'e bringing
these suits especially to get into the
courts before they have to report un-
der the commissions accounting or
der and before the establishments OF
their offices in the state, which the
commission has ordered them 10 do
by June l. 1910.

are brought, into this state and plac-

Miss. Jennie crocker has inherited
More Than 10 Million Dollars.
(Boston IIeraldl


Miss Jennie Crocker of San Fran
cisco is the real heiress OF the West,
and all other young women OF money
and millions are merely factional lu-
minaries Miss Crocker has ten mil
lion dollare plus probably million
or two mare--and some pearl neck
laces.
Miss CrOcker inherited five million
dollars from tahe estate of her faith
e. the late Fed CrocEer. On the
death OF her sister, Mrs Mary Crock
Harrison, she inherited nearly two
million dollars and now from the es-
tate OF her uncle, George Crocker who
died in New York ten days ago she
will inheri; beeween two and one halt
and thre million dollors. That makes
Ten million dollars easily.
But added to that is the matter OF
the increase, what the British par,i-
nentarans are now, in the language
Of Henry George, calling the uneril-
ed increment" The unearned and
hard eaIned increment OF Miss Crock
er's fortune is several millions for the
Crocker estate company shrewdly in
vests its money where it will earn
idenGs, and the properties it divide
dividends and the properties il holds
Ia San Francisco and elsewhere ale
busy multiplying the fortune OF the
Califarnia Hetiress.
So Miss Crocker can afford TO lose
pearl necklaes with impnity. Even il
the necklaces were not found on the
following cay Miss Crocker could disc

months ago and still have few mil

observation-disclosures has spread so fast,
not only In this city but throughout
Ohio, that the first effect came in the
announcement Of a straight cut OF
two cents on certain kinds of meat.
Further reductions are expected. The
meat dealers are alarmed, and a Sc
cret meeting Of the Butchers Protec-
tive Association was held to devise
means of formulating a movement that
threatens to become national in scope.
Many OF, 1.-THE dealers say their Or
ders have been cut in half in the past
two days, and they fear some will be
forced out Of business. Over 10000
men In Cleveland factories have al
ready pledged themselves to abstain
from eating meat for at least thirty
days, and 1t is believed that fully
100000 people in this city and sub
urbs will be in the vegetarian class
before the week ends. Other cities
of the State are following the idea.
and Senator Williams suggestion that
the entire State boycott meat till
Easter Sunday Is being taken up with
an earnestness that means business.
Big meat dealers here and the agents
of the packers say If the boycott
reaches New York City it will surely
force a decided drop in meat prices
throughout the entire Central and At
lantic States.

The South is coming into its own.
No section of this great country is
getting more favorable advertising.
Everybody has a good word for it.
The unprecedented internal improve
ments within the last decade and a
Ialf have attracted the attention OF
he entire country.
Recently Secretary Wilson, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, made a flying visit to North
arolina, the occasion being the an
.ual meeting of the National Farm
ers' Association, and was so impress
ed with what he saw that he has
wer lost an opportunity to speak
( it.
"Why," he said, "the boys of the
South have pulled their coats off
and are at work. They are farming,
manufacturing and trading. You
have great cotton mills and still
greater tobacco factories. White and
colored people are at work, earning
good wages, building homes and bank
accounts and developing the country.
In every way possible, said Mr..
Wilson, his department was going to
help the South. This does not mean
that he is going to- single it out for
that purpose, but, IS a part Of the
Union, it is to have its share OF at
tention, He spoke of the progress of
the boil weevil and the necessity for
diversified farming, so when the lit
tie insect makes cotton growing un-
profitable the lands can be turned to
something else. The corn crop for
1909, he declared, was greater than
for any other year. More hogs and
more cattle should be raised. DR..
Seaman A. Knapp is organizing the
government forces in Dixie with a
view to improving the methods of
producing corn, beef and hog meat.
His efforts so far have been very sue
cessful.

DEPARTMENT GOING TO HELP THE SOUTH

The New York Sun, summing up
the "Ballinger-Pincho Controversy
among other things says:
"What probably will continue to,
be known under its present designa-
ton Of "The BaIlinger-Pinchot Con-
troversy" has been constantly astir
in official circles since August IL,
last, when the Chief, Forester hastened
to the White House to urge the PRESS
dents direct Intervention against his
Secretary of the Interior. 1t sim
mered through the Presidents period
Of rest at Beverly, broke out afresh
in what are known as The CLAWS
Charges and finally reached its first
crisis on September Is at Albany.
"With the meeting of Congress q
resolution was introduced calling for
a Congressional inquiry into the
whole situation. And then came a
step that had not been anticipated
and was out of the government rou-
tine, and apparently was aimed at
making the conflict as dramatic as
possible. Mr.. Pinchot succeeded in
having read upon the floor of the
Senate a letter rejecting upon the
President ard enforcing his own dis
missal as the only possible conse-
quent act. A days session of the
Presidents Cabinet preceded the de-
cision to dismiss. And that leaves
the possible 'Ballinger-Pinchot IN
vestigation now merely a question of
investigating a single officer Of the
government on charges which the Az
torney-General has ridiculed and on
which the President has passed judgS-
ment."
