PRAIRIE COMPANY DECLARED
NOT 4 COMMON CARRIER

Oklahoma City, July Tn reply to
citation from the corporation COM
mission, ]. E. o'Neil, vice president
and general manager of the Prairie
Oil & Gas Company, appeared before
Col. Jack Love, chairman of the COM
mission Thursday afternoon. His tes-
timony was for the purpose of show
ing that the Prairie is not a public
service corporation. not a common
carrier, and does not transport oil
through its line for hire. w. S. attor-
new general and Judge John II. Bur
ford of Guthrie appeared for the
Prairie. Assistant Attorney General
Charles L. Moore represented the state
with A. |. Thompson, engineer for the
corporation commission, as complain
ing witness. The Prairie was cited for
contempt of the commissions order
requiring the filing of plats showing
the size and location of pipe lines, the
purpose of the order being TO ascer.
tain whether the Prairie is making
more than a fair return in its invest.
ments and whether its capacity is suffi.
Client to handle all the oil offered IL
for transportation.
Attorney Fitzpatrick moved that
the Prairie be discharged for the rea'
son that the record showed that the
Prairie had no actual knowledge OF
the issuance of the order, that the
record failed to show that it had ac
tual knowledge of publication of the
order or notice of the proposed order
or its being made final, that the record
failed to show that the Prairie had
any actual or constructive notice oi
the issuance OF the order for the order
did not fix any time within which its
terms must be complied with, that the
order showed on its face that it re
lates only to transportation companies
| anu puUllC oClFlSO wi poi oliOhS
neither or which the Prairie admitted
Itself to be. Colonel Love overrulet
the motion of Vice President 0'Nei
gave the testimony on which the com
pany relies to secure liberation from
| the commissions orders.
In answer to direct questions b!
Attorney Fitzpatrick, O'Neil said tha
the Prairie was not public servic'
corporation, that it had never en-
gagged in any service for the publ,
or any other firm or individual; tina
lit had never advertised its pipe line
nor had been asked to carry oil fo
Iothers. He asserted that all oil car
ried by the Prairie was the absolut,
property of hat company. O'Neil ad
ded that his company had never con
Isidered itself to have the right of emf
lnent domain; had never exercised th
right in any of the states in which /
loperated. He testified that out of tn
entire production of the state 1860
barrels of oil daily, the Prairie pre-
Iduced $4,000 and bought 10000.

GOOD PLAN FOR AID.
 VERTISING STATE

c. o. Baughman, who accom-. panied the Nashville and Howard county exhibit on the trip of Ar kansas on Wheels" has made a suggestion for future advertis- ing campaign which we believe would be the best plan that could be adopted.
 Mir. Baughman's plan is to make a round of the state fairs of the northern states, with exhi- bits and literature. While he does not underrate the good ac- complished by the trip of the ad- vertising train, he points out that only people residing along the lines of the railroads travelled could be reached, and only part of them, as the stops made by the train were too short to admit all the people who gathered to the train.
 By exhibiting at the various state fairs of the north, practical ly all the people of those states could be reached with much bet, ter results than those attained by the advertising train.
 We believe that the counties of this section could go into such an enterprise to their mutual ad, vantage, as no other section of Arkansas can make a showing to compare with Howard, Hemp stead, Nevada, Pike, Little River and Sevier counties.
 Let's get together and show the world what Southwest Ar kansas has. Nashville News.

FRANCE GETTING STINGY.

The list of gifts made in France to public bodies and charities in 1910 has been published. They amount to $9,346,O0O, as compared with S2o,272,00o in 1909. The to- tai of 214 million dollars below the average for the last ten years, and the decrease is ascrihed to the in- crease in taxation, more especially Tn legacy duties. M. Chauchard's iegacies head the list, his works of art given to the public being valued at $1. .420.000.

THE CONDITION OF
 THE STATE TREASURY

UUlO hOCH, NOV. J.-J u
 what is the condition of the Ark
 ansas state treasury is the ques-
 ton that is being asked by many.
 mat It has struck bed rock, |"
 that there is deficit, that "the
 bottom of the pan has been
 scraped," is known in a general
 way. The facts are these:
 There is nothing in the general revenue fund with the exception of few dollars that come in from insurance and corporation fees through the office of the
 secretary of state. This is small and oe little consequence, and it is gobbled up as quickly as it
 reaches the tills of the treasury.
 No funds of any consequence will be received until after Jan.
 l, when about $75,O0O will come in on liquor license, but by that time there will be outstanding
 warrants against it of about $15O,OOO.
 There is now in the treasury in actual cash about $175,O00 in
 various funds, none of which is available for general expenses.
 There is about $56,OOO in h e
 Morrell fund, which is for the
 use of the University of Arkan-
 sas, and will keep that institu>
 tion going for short time. A
 requiSition was recently made
 upon the general revenue fund
 for teachers salaries at the uni
 versity, but it was not honored,
 as there was no money with
 which to meet it. There is some
 money in the fertilizer and feed
 fund, which can be used only in
 paying the expenses of that de-
 partment. There is about $5000
 in the automobile fund for which
 the legislature made no diSposi- tiOn. There is considerable
 amount yet in the pension n d school funds, but these can be used for no other purpose, a n d are being rapidly withdrawn by the counties.
 There is no money at all with which to pay salaries, of govern or, or the most humble employe, and even those who are furnish ing the supplies for the state in StitutionS must carry the war. rants until there is some money. The banks are diScounting the warrants from three to ten Ter cent, and officials, employees and furnishers are forced to hawk the states obligations about to the highest bidder to get any money at all. The penitentiary which is taken care of out of the penitentiary fund, IS about S90,- GOO behind, but it is estimated that the sale of cotton will about clean up it's indebtedness by Jan. 1, and leave it free, but out of funds as we'll as out of debt. This will be, however, about 30 days ahead of last year, as some of last December's bills are only being paid.
 Although the state will receive during January about S15O,00C in liquor license and insurance fees, it will not be permitted to stay in the treasury long enough to get cold, and by Feb. 1, the if nances of the state will be worse than they are now. As usual the sheriffs will begin to advance the state on their collections, but the principal revenue from this
