Mr. ". II, Thft, #3&
Hastings, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of May 81. in which you
assume to speak for the Democrats
or at least & great pgtion Of .them,
which was given to the press before
being mailed to me, was received at
this office during my absence from
the city and by me upon my return.
! have noted its contents carefully.
/. Your first question asks whetn-
er the foreign railroads do not now
do SO per cent OF the railroad busi-
ness Of Oklahoma, whether those
Dads do .ot now haze an absolute
monopoly IN this state, ana assuming
this TO be tue, why these roads
should want the amendment of Ar
ticle TX OF our constitution.
Your question might be easily
evaded, as it is not specific as to
what amendment it lefers to, there
being two pending amendments to
Article. TX, one to be voted upon in
November, which repedls Section y
sof Article TX and provides substi-
ltute thetefor, without at the same
TIME sllfrendering all control of cor
porations to the corporations them
sselves, ana the other to be voted up-
on at the special election June II.
which as this commission contends
goes far enough to give the foreign
corporations all they would have ac-
crued II they, instead OF the people
nad written the constitution in the
first place. | take it, however, from
the general tore of your letter that
you are referring to the June, or
Carte amendment, and will answer
your interrogations upon that as
sumption.
Whether the foreign railroads CON
rol 9s per cent Of the railroad bust
ness OF this state | do not Know, hav-
ing had iether occasion or oppor-
tunity to 'nvestigate the matter. II
the proposed amendment is not adopt
ed this commission can ultimately
answer THIS question if you are in
terested at that time. II the amend
ment is adopted we will have no ac-
cess to records from when this In.
formation could be. secured
Assuming this to b. true. that the
foreign roads have such JS per cent
OF the business, would answer you
que ;tion as to absolute monopoly in
the negative. They would seem to
have & prectical monopoly but not
an absolute one and each mile OF the
260 miles Of now Independent road
built 3ince statehood has reduced
monopoly, and each mile OF the 500
miles now actually being built and
the additional 1886 miles chartered
this year. 1910, up to May /, will fur
ther reduce it.

Of this amendment would enable the
foreign roads to secure this two per
cent and by buying up all indepen-
dent projects stop the. gradual dissou.
