poration commission is attempting to
reOrganize express schedules in Okla

sion Tuesday. as ordered by the

1.-THE belief Tuesday that the court
would sustain the commission after
passing on the new matter.
1t was recommended by the COM
mission that the specific rates LOT
some distances be modified in the m
terest OF uniformity, and in those IN
stances the distances were increased
If the scale as now proposed BY the
commission Is accepted, It viii mean
4 reduction or approximately - l.
per cent from the present rates ehars
ed by express companies in TINS state
At that, the new rates would be
higher than those in many states
where commission-made rates are en-
forced.
Between $l00000 and 100000 will
be returned to shippers in Oklahoma
j. e4e commission is sustained by
the supreme icnrt. Since the appeal
was taken the commission has requlr-'
ed a report from the express compan-
les showing how much would have
been collected under the new rates
and what was received under the old

PRESIDENT VETOES
STATEHOOD BILLS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
President Taft, in a special message
to the house yesterday, vetoed the
joint resolution providing for the
admission of New Mexico and Ari'
zona to statehood. The reasfl for
the veto is based on his thorough
disapproval of the recall of judges
clause in the Arizona constitution.
The fact that New Mexico is
coupled with Arizona in the resolu-
ton metes out to her the same
fate, and neither territory can come
| into this Union at this time unless
the resolution is passed over the
veto. This may be attempted.
The recall feature of the Ari-
zona constitution. the president
said, would compel judges to make
decision under legalized terror
ISM"
The recall provision would oper-
ate against all elective officers in
Arizona, including both county and
state judges. When 25 per cent OF
the voters at a previous election
petitioned for a special election to
remove an official such election
would be compulsory.
This provision of the Arizona
constitution" the president says, "ir
its application to state and county
Judges seems to me so perniciou;
in it's effect, so destructive of in
dependence in the judiciary, so like
, ly to subject the rights of the in
dividual to possible tyranny of {
