roads In Oklahoma. The state cor
poration commission has called
upon the roads to file verified bills
and vouchers showing the cost of
building, betterment and road
equipment. The order requires a
statement of the cost of the small
est details of railroad building and
operation, even down to the price
paid per yard for moving dirt and
the delivery price of ties and rails.
III the railroads do not come
across with the figures the COM
mission will put a force of engi-
neers to work inspecting the rail-
roads of the state to determine
just how much the roads have in
vested in the state.
The railroads declare that it
costs 100000 a mile to lay track
in Oklahoma. Their rates are
fixed with view to getting "rea-
sonable returns" on that basis of
investment.
Disinterested experts say that
1t doesn't cost cent more than
100000 a mile to build railroads
in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is going to find out
for sure Just what 1t does cost.
And If she builds her state rail-
road the rates will be fixed in ref
erence to the actual cost of con-
struction and operation, not with
a view to paying dividends on
three times the actual investment.
That would fix basis for charges
on privately owned railroads also.
J. Luther Langston, secretary of
the Oklahoma federation of labor,
who has led the fight against the
railroads proposed amendments,
is one of the leading spirits In the
movement for a state railroad.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 81
The state of Oklahoma is prepar-
ing to build a railroad. That will
be her answer to Wall street.
The Wall street owned lines
crossing Oklahoma objected to Ok
lahoma's progressive constitution.
Consequently they have persistent
| ly and consistently given the citi-
zens of Oklahoma the worst of 1t
| ever since the constitution went
| into effect. They have refused to
build mile of new track in the
state until the constitution is
amended. They have discrimnat-
ed against Oklahoma shippers in
the matter of freight rates. Thus
they have hoped to worry the peo-
pie into amending the constitution.
They have worried the people
all right-but no into amending
the constitution. Twice the peo-
lple have voted down amendments
proposed by the Embellishments
ments that would have enabled
the railroads to get out from I'M
der the thumb of the state court
had they passed. And now they
are so worried that they are mad,
and they are going about it to
build them a railroad of their
own.
1t seems likely that the present
Legislature will initiate a bill call
ing for the floating of $40, 1000
In bonds for the building of a
railroad $50 miles long through
the heart of the state. Commit
tees of both houses are now con-
sidering the matter thoroughly.
Meanwhile the state authorities
are putting the screws on the rail-
roads with view to finding out
just what it costs to build rail-

Ernesto Nathan, an English
born Jew and a Mason, is mayor
of Rome. He thoroughly believes
in modern ideas and seems to have
little regard for the antiquities of
Rome.
Nathan has decided, against
the protests of the antiquarians,
to unite by means of wooden
bridges the three capitoline pal
aces, so as to change them into
one large building. The munich
pality will give several large en-
tertainments during the exposition
year and the mayor says that the
three separate palaces are not
large enough for the entertain
ments. The claim is made that
the change will disfigure the cap
ital square and the wooden bridges
erected on great historic spot
are regarded by many as profan-
alton.
The work Is under way for the
fiftieth anniversary of the procla-
nation of United Italy, near at
hand.

GAMBLER SCHWRB

1t cannot be but with feelings of
great regret and sorrow that the
people of the United States will
hear that that great expert juggler
in steel. Mr.. Sch lab, who is now
soiourning at Monte Carlo, objects
to having ibis play at that great
gambling hell designated as

vulgar trem CRATES on his super
sensitive nerves because it seems
to class him along with the COM
mon herd of humanity, when in
fact he is OLA very different order.
Mr.. Schwab explains as follows:
"a gambler is a man who risks
money (which is needed, for his
necessities or his business.
With himself there is no question
Of need as he inferentially points
out. Necessities do not enter into
his scheme of life and his business
Of steel manufacturing is one of
the favored occupations that do
not have to stand on their own
bottom but are under a special
diApensation Of government pro-
lection. If MIR. Schwab gets any
pleasure out of playing the wheel
at Monte Carlo he thinks he should
be allowed to indulge that passtime
Without being called gambler and
thus being classed with people
Who have need of money. Nobody
can dispute his conclusions SO
=" far as his immunity from need is
concerned. One premise that he
neglects to put in is the fact that a
q recent Investigation discl ,sed
painful conditions of child labor
and over work and underpay at his
Bethlehem steel works. This
would serve somewhat as explana-
ton Of his circumstances, but of
course it is not necessary to the
argument he makes. He is in q
spe cial class and if we were trying
to think of a name for him offkand
we wouldn't call him a gambler
no not much. Joseph Observer.

deafness, and that is by consti-

caused by an lnfamed condition of

you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result unless the infmation can be
taken out and. this tube restored to

be destroyed forever; nine cases
