FREIGHT RATES
70 BE Advanced
MAY AFFECT ENTIRE SOUTH
WEST As WE'LL As TERRI
TORY FURTHER WEST.
new CLASSIFICAT|ONS. TOO
Schedule OF the Railway Commission
WIN Probably BE Given Out Some
Time Next Month.

Shippers In Tulsa and IN all the
Southwestern states may expect n
general advance In freight rates In
the new classification of rates that
has been under preparation for more
than three years and which Will prob
ably be announced IN Decembers ac-
cording to w. V. Hardie, manager OF
the Oklahoma traffic bureau.
The new classification Is being made
by commission composed Of fifteen
Of the principal railroad men OF the
United States. This commission was
created at, the suggestion of the In
teTstate commerce commission that "A
new classification OF freight rates on
all railroads and for every section OF
the country is "a practical necessity"
For more than three years the COM
mission has labored although II was
expected the work would be COM
pleted within a few months. II is the
purpose OF this commission to classify
rates in such manner that they Will
neither be too low for the transpor-
tation companies to make a profit, nor
eXhorbitant for the shipper, and estab-
ish fair basis for all shippers all
over the country.
In as much as the commission was
created at the instance of the inter-
state commerce commission, II is very
probable, says Mr.. Hardle, that the
new classification will be adopted as
a basis for rate making in the future.
II is believed that harmony will be
brought about among the various con-
tending forces that are continually
seeking lower rites in a specified ter
rtory that will give shippers of that
section an advantage over shippers
of another section.
The new classification is considered
Of great importance to every shipper
In the United States. Mr.. Hardie is of
the opinion that the rates on a large
per cent of the commodities shipped
will be affected. in some Instances low
cred, while In others, raised, A basis
of rates for every commodity must be
stablished, first of all, then the rates
from point TO point, or per mile, fixed
accordingly. Mr.. Hardie expects the
rates throughout the Southwestern
states will be increased generally. but
not so much that will give a notice
able disadvantage to oklahoma ship
pers.
At present time there are three gem
eral classifications Of rates in the
United States, namely, the eastern,
which includes the territory west of
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio
rivers; the southern, including the
territory west of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio rivers, and the
western, which includes territory west
OF the MissIssi" vi river.
Although the new general classifi-
cation will not be published before
the latter part of December or the
first of January 1T is expected the
rates for the western classification
which is distributed in December, will
be the same as those to be published
for the same classification by the com
mission.

LUNDERNEN deny A
Combine IS FORMED
PURCHASE OF FOUR YARDS BY
OTHERS GAVE RISE TO
NUMEROUS REPORTS.

The simulta seous purchase of four
OF the largest and oldest retail lum-
ber companies in Tulsa by a similar
number OF leading lumber concerns
of the city gave rise to the report that
a combine was being affected among
local dealers,
w. r. Chastain, when asked about
the purchase, said:
THE Minnetonka company is buy
ing out our business here. because
there are too many lumber yards I'm
town for all OF us to make money |
have been twenty-five years in the
lumber business. and know that very
little money is being made by the
dealers here now. We will stll hold
our yards at Wichita and Bartles-
ville however"
Tho heads OF the other firms that
are out talked along the same
I'm ?. Chastaln.
y. yes. who Is one OF the very
few Lumber dealers in town who is
not connected with long chain of
houses, Indignantly denied the exist
ence Of combine in the city, al
though he was not associated with the
recent -four way deal.
There In no association, under
standing or combine among the local
dealers" he said. 'and I am positive
that under the present conditions
there will be no immediate advance
In the price Of lumber. notwithstand-
ing the fact that four houses have
been eliminated from the field.
There are still ten houses here.
when there should not be over six.
The competition here is strong. I
have not made one penny's profit In
the last ten months. and ! would well
come enough OF an advance TO bring
me a little profit That no combine
exists is shown by the fact that any
dealer m town san testify that time
after time he has been greatly out
bid by a competing firm In the city"
At the Minnetonka company office
instant denial was made Of the ex-
istence Of combine or trust In the
city. They said that there was little
II any difference In the price Of lum-
Der now and a year ago and that II
was 20 per cent lower now than two
years ago. The Minnetonka company
owns i+o yards throughout the south
and several mills Of its own.

This is the way the Kansas CITY
Journal sizes up the late election in
Kansas:
'Following closely upon the em-
phatic defeat of the Stubbs candi-
date for congress In the Second Kan
sas district comes the even more de-
clsive rout of the governors organ
ization in the contest for nominee
TO succeed the late Congressman
Madison In the Seventh district II
was not only u surprise to the insur-
gent leaders that Lieutenant-G Govern
or Hopkins, the ultra progressive"
was beaten, but he was beaten worse
than even his most earnest opponents
had expected. Former-Mayor Martin
of Hutchinson, the nominee, while
having somt slight tendency to pro
gressveness," was considered the least
radical of all the candidates. and
therefore his success is In reality an
unmistakable victory for party regu-
larity.
In the fight of the Second Kansas
district which swept the insurgents
been a political "frame-up" in order
TO avoid a primary. Guyer, the Stubs
candidate was nominated 10y little
coterie Of Stubbs personal friends
and followers and there was no posi-
BILE chance for regular to get into
the race. The result of that dis
graceful trickery was the election
of Joseph Taggart II Democrat. IL
was In the nature OF Republican
protest against the interference OF
Stubbs in Second district politics. In
the Seventh district a primary was
allowed and there were four candi-
dates Judge Frank l.. (trtin, for
mer mayor Of Hutchinson, and former
judge of the Ninth judicial district;
Lieutenant Governor Il. j. Hopkins OF
Garden city: Judge Gordon Finley OF
Dodge City and w. d. Harry of Kins-
ley.
"The whole progressive" strength
of the district and OF the state ad-
ministration was behind Hopkins. As
In the case OF Guyer IN Kansas Ct!
Kas.. Hopkins relied upon the power
OF the Stubbs machine. lie had sur
rendered himself wholly to radicalism
and his campaign received every aid

could give IT, 1t was a contest I'm
tied to Republicans and was fair
fight between Insurgency and regu-
larity Regularity won handsomely
and Stubbs was dlsastrously defeated
for the second ting In two weeks
These recent campaigns In Kansas
have far-reaching significance. They
show beyond any question that in
surgency" is losing its strength In
Kansas. They indicate the waning In
fluence Of Governor Stubbs and his
coterle OF progressive" helpers in n
state that IL normally regular and that
is unquestionably for Taft. The issue
In both congressional campaigns was
squarely drawn between radical pro
gresslveness" and party regularity.
