sary In the transaction OF the business
of a foreign corporation" replied, II
will answer you frankly that in my
opinion as lawyer it would be left
to the judgment and discretion OF the
managing officials OF the foreign
railroad company" This msR favors
the amendment, too; a virtual adn.is-
sion that he does not believe In State
regulation. Dorset Carter, the cham
pion Of the amendment. answered the
same question in 3 public meeting
recently, In about the following Ian
guage: 1T may be apparent from
the language Of the bill that discretion
would be left with the railroad com
pany 20 say what books and records
were necessary in the State in the
transaction of its business, but it
could not bar the authority OF the
courts 70 determine what were really
necessary" The question was asked
him, IL it would not DO necessary uR-
der this construction for the Corpora
tion Commission to wait upon special
reports called Tor until the courts
determined In each instance whether
or not the Commission necessarily
required them, he replied that it need
not take long to get these questions
determined. II the Commission
should have to go into court to get a
specific report every time Que is CALEB
fer, it would bankrupt the State in a
short while, and the Commission
would still, In all probability, fail TO
get the Information necessary, as 1t
may Think, to properly regulate the
business OF the foreign railroad com
pany; tor If it should be LETT to the
Federal courts. the favorite tribunal
of the big railroads, the Commission
would never get It.
The chief exponent OF the Elusive
advantages to be derived thoruEh the
Carter amendment to Article OF tho
Constitution 20 be voted ON June 1lth
tells q pathetic story OF freight con-
ductor. 50 years old, who has been on
his present Job sixteen years waiting
for more railroads to be built. so he
could get . passenger run. The nan
La In line for promotion, but there is
no place for him to 80 an passenger
conductor until soma one dies. This
champion OF this pernicious proposed
amendment appears to think that rail
road building should progress rs fast
a. men can qualify for the higher
positions. A chimerical tale OF woe
indeed. Don't be dupsd into voting
for anything as dangerous to home
rule and State regulation OF railroads
By any sentimental stories like that.
No one likes more to see deserving
men promoted than do We. but roads
cannot build as fast 'as American
Citizens can qualify to run trains.

The Legislative Proposed Amendment

(From Corporation Commission
Guthrie.)
The public should remember that
there are two proposed amendments
to the Oklahoma constitution inyoly
ing the regulation OF corporations.
The following is the proposed sub
stitute for Section 9, Article 9, OF the
constitution, submitted by Joint reso
luton OF the Legislature at the regu
lar 1909 session:
Section 8. II any railroad com
pany. transportation company OF
transmission company organized un
der the laws OF this state. shau con
solidate by sale or otherwise, with
any railroad company, transportation
company or transmission company
organized under the laws OF any other
state or Of the United States, the
same shall not thereby become for
eien corporation but the courts OF this
state shall retain jurisdiction Ia al
matters which may arise, as II said
consolidation had not taken place"
The above proposed amendment Is
different aud distinct from the one tc
bs voted upon June IL. The above
proposition will be voted upon at the
general election in November, by the
terms OF the resolution proposing Il
and is not opposed by the corporation
commission. The interests favorins
the amendment to be voted upon June
II have initiated It because the legis.
lative proposition does not go far
enough to suit them.

Pare PERDUE NOTES.

The weather was very favorable
last week for the winding up of
the cane harvest here. 1t has
been one of the most remarkable lie
seasons for taking Of a cane crop
of which there is any record. The
farmers have no complaint to
make as they have had only two
rains of any consequence, since
the grinding season began and
only a few days have been lost
out of the fields. The good
weather and the splendid condi-
ton of the roads and fields,
which prevailed during the rolling
season have enabled the farmers
to take off their cane crop at
minimum Of expense compared
with other seasons.
The good prices paid for cane
this season have enabled the far
mers to cancel good part of
their debts contracted during the
year.

New Iberia viii undergo a thor
ough crusade against the degrade
ton of young girls and boys WHO
are under the age of sixteen years

Early Thursday morning. DR..
and Mrs. A. S. Orne, with head
quarters at Chicago, arrived III
the city and began their lab RS
among the poor and helpless and
delinquents Of the male sex wa
are not more than sixteen years
of age.
DR.. Orne comes not as man
who hopes to land the reckless
lads of New Iberia behind thu
prison bars. but as one who IS
hopeful of their doing better and
Heading a purer life. In this hi
has the earnest endorsement OF
every official of every city IN the
United States in which he has
sown his seed of labor.
Yesterday morning, shortly al
ter his arrival, he interviewed
Mayor Power and Chief of Police
Miguel who gave him the liberty
of the city and informed him that
should the help of their depart
|ment be needed it would be at the
command and also that they
would assist him in every Other
way they could as well as co-ope
rating in his work of stra:ghten
ling up young boys who roam the
streets.
DR.. Orne came to this city a
the request of several of its lead
ling citizens in order to invest
gate and visit the houses of pros
titution and ascertain whether O.
not the White Slave traffic is il
vogue in this city, though hi
most earnest effort is that Of say
ing the rising generation. Hi
text is. "Take the boy from hi
Christian home and, there is moth
ing that binders his being de
. jlinquent; which means a crook o
criminal; take a girl from
Christian home and there is moth
ing that keeps her from the si1
of prostitution or white slavery
Either a delinquent or a prost
tute is detriment to the Chris
tan organizations of today"
It is DR.. Orne's hope that h
may secure the ratification, en-
dorsement and assistance OF tn
!; . pastors and parents of the city a
