CORPORATION COMMISSION
WANTS ITS POWER FIXED

Oklahoma City, Jan. SIN its an
nual report to the governor the cor
poration commission declares that the
policy Of railroads operating through
the state has had effect of retarding
.Oklahoma's growth.
The commission says that its policy
during the next year will be to press
the matter Of investigation and regula-
tion with such degree of rapidity as is
consistent With safe, reliable conclu-
sions.
The commission suggests that a law
be enacted making it a felony for news
papers to publish anything written and
paid for directly or indirectly by any
railroad or public utility owner with
out first stating that it is paid ad-
Iyertisement. and by whom the price
is paid. 1t wants jurisdiction to limit
the amount of stocks and bonds to be
issued on railroad and other public
service property and power to enforce
by order any public duty imposed upon
railroad companies by statutory or
common law.
Since the jurisdiction of the commits.
sion has been questioned by certain
public utility owners, such as gas. elec.
tric light and water works companies,
the commission asks that its power in
this respect be definitely fixed. 1t also
suggests that law be enacted giving
the commission jurisdiction of ice
plants.

The Civil Service Report.

Some important recommend atoms
are made 10 the annual report OF the
civil service commission, Just made to
the president, not the least interesting
Of which IS that which urges q reorga-
nizstion Of the salaries paid to en-
ployes 10 the classified service. The
present salary classification, accor.
ding to the commission, vas adopted
In 1853. One can only wonder how,
under the changed conditions, it has
been possible to secure employees in the
last ten years on q salary basis that
.wos established to fit she conditions OF
SO many years ago
But more significant even than this
salary Recommendation is the propo.
sal, made in Endorsement of the sug.
gestions of the president and the post
master general, that first, second and
third class postmaster be placed in
the classified service. The civil
service was established as q means to
insure efficiency in government posi-.
tons. Its result has justified its
adoption. Recently there has beer
steadily increasing complaint of the
postal service, and both the general
management and various local me.
thods have been subjected to serious
charges.
Chief of all the complaints has beer
the undeniable and undisputed one
that the postoffice system, though il

Mail Order Bait

Practically all mail order concerns
secure their customers by the judicious
use of ''bsrgain bait" in their adver-
tisements. The articles used for
"bait" are usually Of such inferior
quality that they can be offered at .
price that seems extremely low. The
other day one of our readers noticed
the advertisement of q mail order
concern Offering . piano for S175.
The instrument was described as very
handsome, extraordinarily we'll built,
with wonderful pure, sweet tone.
It happened that this man was think
ing very seriously of purchasing a
piano for his daughter; SO he wrote
to the mail order concern at once for
further particulars.
The catalogue came in due time &C.
companied by letter stating that he
undoubtedly wanted q better piano
than the one advertised at $175 and
urging him to buy one listed at $3.50.
The S175 instrument was merely the
"bait'' used to attract inquiries
The company never intended to sell
these cheap pianos at all. Luckily,
the party we refer saw through the
scheme and secured from the dealer
better piano than the one offered al
$3.50, ard he saved 800 on. the tran
sactiOn.

MERELY MATTER OF MONEY
Opening Of Great Lakes to Ocean tor
LARGE Ships.


Washington, March 1S.-"Openfng
the Great Lakes to the ocean for deep
water craft is merely matter of mon
ey: there is no obstacle in the way
that cannot be overcome" said Cen
eral w. H. Bixby, chief engineer OF
the United States army.
'In the Welland canal it is ques-
ton of making the facilities larger. In
the st. Lawrence river the enlarge
ment of the numerous canals and locks
would be impracticable, because canal
navigation is too tedious to pay. But
the rapids in that river can be over
come by means of series OF great
dams which will transform those
rapids into six or eight deep lakes
through which vessel ought to pass
at practically full speed"

Unwelcome signs of Spring.

Is this spring to repeat the dis
astrous phenomenon of last spring,
when most of the vegetation, having
become as far advanced in March as
it usually is in May, was killed by
heavy frosts and weeks ofcold weather.
Intimate observers of climatic
conditions fear just this. Never be-
fore, they say, was so anomalous q
spring as that of 1910 known in Mimi
esota, and their observ atoms tend to
justify the opinion that the present
spring will 60 to the bad in precisely
the same way.
For 10 days past, in some places
exposed to the allday sun, green grass
or yellow-green, has been noticed,
and people addicted to flower culture
make readiness on the part of the
buds to open their tender hearts to
the air 10 fashion untimely and pre-
mature. The first crocusses we're re-
ported in bloom Wednesday. Artifi-
cial means are being adopted in
some intances to delay the develop
ment of plants, but these means are
not entirely successful. More drastic
measures than any .yet discovered
musI be brought to bear if the sway
Of old Emperor Sol is to undergo the
slightest check.
The losses that would result to
Minnesota, should the experience OF
last years spring be repeated, would
aggregate millions of dollars, and go
not little way toward multiplying the
propular uphill fight in the cause of
less costly living.

A Lame Defense-And the Answer
St. Paul Daily News.

The legislature of Minnesota has
made the governor, the state auditor
aud the secretary of state q state
drainage commission.
The duties of the board are such as
might be gathered from its name.
Each member of that commission
has taken an oath to uphold the con.
stitution and laws of the state of Min.
nesota.
Yet, as the Daily News has shown,
q part, at least, of that board has
used its official position for its private
aggrandizement. "
The only member of the commission
as yet examined by the house investi-
eating committee is the state auditor,
who tries to saddle the blame for the
shortcomings of the commission on
its servant, George A. Ralph, state
drainage engineer.
The Investigations of The Daily
News indicate that Mr.. Ralph has his
own burdens to bear without carrying
any for faithless members OF the
drainage board.
To repeated inquiries by the house
committee State Auditor Iverson re-
piled: II don't know. I don't know"
The people of the state have been
paying him and his colleagues to
know.
They took their jobs with full
realization of what they involved.
They should have attended to the
work.
It is in order for the members of the
house of representatives, on the show
ing already made, to prefer charges
for the impeachment of some, at least,
of the members of the state drainage
board.

ment funds, has been made the plum
tree OF political interests; that "pull"
and the ability to swing votes hsve
been the prime factors in determining
appointments to the higher positions
in the postofice. The spoils system
has been the bane of the postal service
and this recommended OF the COM
mission, If carried out, will mean that
efficiency will take the place of politics
in determining who are to be the head
men ia that service.
For many years the postoffice has
been losing proposition for The
government. Recent writers have
pointed out the means by which it
could be made into Q source Of reve.
nue., or at least be made self supper
ting, and one of the most practical of
these suggestions 10 that it be made
self-supporting, and one of the most
practical of these suggestions is that
it be made Is efficient as private busi-
ness is to-day. AS long as the men
in charge of the business get their
appointments through politics instead
of for marked ability, there can be no
such efficiency. The proposed extern
sion of the classified service in the
postotfice would change all this.
Perhaps it would be we'll to extend
it even futher than is proposed, and
make the postmaster general himself
show particular fitness for his work.

When the Court of General Sessions
opened this morning Reuben Satterth-
waite asked that Simon Albion be pa
rolled. Albion was indicted on a
charge Of maintaining a gaming table
in his house No. 100 East Sixth street
It was alleged that Albion allowed
poker TO be played and that he goi a
share of tho money won. Attorney
General Gray said tho police had been
after the man for two years.
Judge Woolley reviewed tho parole
law and drew attention to the parol-
ing of prisoners and the circumstances
connected herewith. So many mo-
tions are being made to parole prison
ers that the law would annul the pun
ishment clause if allowed 10 go too
far. he said.
The court said it did not have a
right 10 parole a defendant owing to
the distress. While recognizing the
hardship i'm this case the court did
not see any extenuating circumstances
and imposed a sentence Of $500 fine
and in default to be imprisoned for
one month.
