their property without process OF law,
where there is room for argument
whether anything in the nature of con
liscation exists. This is, technically at
least. proper procedure in protec-
ton Of the rights of property.
But what is the public to tink of
the sort OF Justice msted out by our
federal courts when they create con
ditions that sh!eid such corporations
against punishment or any accounJa-
bility for placing their hands in the
pockets of private citizens and taking
therefrom money for services never
performed, and concerning which
there can be no possible dispute, as
now being done in Oklahoma
President Taft pleads that the
courts be not restricted in their pow
e's; and urges that the people stay
Il g hand that they are reaching out
for larger share in the management
OF their own affairs.
1t will be interesting to know
whether Judge Hook regards the i'm
posing of fines by the corporation
commission in cases like the above as
a contempt of his notorious writ; but
in the meantime it is gratifying to
note that Oklahoma has some public
officials who will not bend the knee
before the whip of court whose JUS
tice is hollow mockery.
