Oklahoma is indulging in far too
many elections for the good of the
people. Every few weeks an exren-
sive election is pulled off and the cost
is heavy. Let us combine the eiee-
tions and save expenses.

There is vague dread in the minds
of many people that the enabling act
under which Oklahoma became state
of the union is to be ignored and that
we are to break faith with its provi

ordered it reduced to $40. The present
rate of S12 for an upper berth was or
dered reduced to $3.50
a short nights journey, the commits
sion holds, should not carry rate of
more than $3.50 for a lower berth and

the company has maintained from ST.

vailing upper berth rate of s1.50 is re-
duced to S1.10 between st. Paul and Su-

The report written by Commissioner
Franklin K. Lane is brief, and does not
disclose the exhaustive examination
that was made of the Pullman COM
pany's affairs, but the record revealed
annual dividends amounting nearly to
$50, O0O from 1899 to 1909, inclusive.
Big Annual Dividends.
The investigation showed that the
amount carried in surplus annually did
not fail far short of the annual divi-
dends of per cent; that in 1898 a cash
dividend OF $1,000 900 was paid out of
accumulated surplus; in 1899 a special
stock dividend of so per cent amounting
to SlS,0O0,00 was declared; and in 1907
another of SO per cent, amounting to
S26Ol5,256, were divided. During eleven
years $5l 100000 in special cash and
stock dividends were paid in addition
TO the annual ones.
In 1898 the stock Of the company was
increased from S36. 0O0,O GOO to 500 0O0, coo.
of which $50 600, 0G0 is accounted for by
the acquisition of the Wagner Palace
Car company. The rest of the increase
of S44o00000 represents capitalization
of surplus. The record shows that no
additional capital was put in.
