Thirty democrats voted against the
Ross bill, and twenty-seyen for It.
Thirty.four republicans voted for the

The Kansas City Times, by it's Guth-
rie correspondent tells the following
story OF a new spoilers game" play
ed at the capital:
The hotel Hobbies and other places
in Guthrie where men congregate are
without their, oldtime freedom of dis
course and hilarity. In other days i
was the custom, especially Of the rural
visitor, TO discuss freely and in loud
voice, that he might be heard by ey-
erybody, the issues that disturb pub
lie welfare. and as noisily suggest
remedies for popular Ills
In the hotel Hobbies two men now
make a crowd. And the lobbies are
filled with crowds OF two. The crowds
of two talk in whispers and glance
Ifurtively from time to time to see that
no one else Is within hearing distance.
The lobby atmosphere is murky with
suspicion The story is current that
detectives are spying everywhere to
keep Governor Haskell informed as to
the movements Of those whom he sus-
poets may be unfriendly to him.
"Hist!" ezclaims the crowd Of two
upon the approach of third man. The
latter may have no other motive in
his approach than TO tell how he won
three straight" at pinochle from the
hotel clerk. yet he finds himself an.
swering questions of what he thinks
about the weather. Should he begin
talking about politics or public Off
clals he is scrutlnized with mieros-
copic gaze Some of the unsuspeeting
country visitors, knowing nothing Of
the rumors OF detectives, complain
bitterly Of the change in demeanor Of

certain classes of service at less than
cost, thus to charge the loss against
the balance OF the service. sucn a
principle is contrary to public policy.
ANY discrimination by public
service company, which consists in
rendering a service below its cost, is
unjust discrimination and unlawful. II
is inconceivable that test of reason
able rates will be adopted by the court
which would compel carriers 10 do
the very thing forbidden by law Any
just rule therefore of rate regulation
must preserve to the carrier both the
right and the ability to render all
service at remunerative rates.
"If the regulation compels a carrier
to render a portion of its service al
less than cost, said the counsel n
closing, inevitably this loss must be
distributed over the balance of It's
business unless the carrier can refuse
to render the service. The latter al
tentative Is impossible. All ssrY'ce
rendered at a loss results In burden
ing the balance OF the carriers serg.
iee;a and considering that railways are
subject to regulation Of many stat1s
as we'll as to that of congress, the
necessary result Of one state requiring
service to be rendered at less thar
cost is to impose the loss on citizens
of other states and on the business
Of the country at large"

CORPORATION TO
PLANT PECAN TREES

Little Rock, FEB. 3.-There IS be-
no formed IN Little Rock a company
which viii plant 230 acres of bottom
lana in the central part of the state
in pecans. The corporation will plant
the thin sheiled varities, but it will
ha,dly beSin shape to begin the plant
inc until fall. The corporation figures
the returns after the trees begin to
bear, seven wears after they are plant
ed, will soon make up for the lost
time, and as the major portion of the
land which is to be planted, is not in
cultivation, this can be cultivated just
the same, so there will be no loss
whatever. The men who are going
into the new enterprise are all inan-
ciers who figure a pecan grove as a
permanent IN sUment, as the trees
are known tr .e sood for from $50 to
200 years aiter they begin to bear.
