HEARS ARGUMENT INVOLVING
TELEPHONE RATES.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. AR
guments were heard today before the
&c crporation commission yesterday up
on the application of Assistant Attor-
rey General Moore asking that the
Pioneer Telephone company be re-
ouired to make an accounting and
refund of about $4,000 to telephone
subscribers of Oklahoma City for al
legged excess charges over those au-
thorized by the commission.
The arguments were directed to
demurrer filed by attorneys of the
company setting up among othef
things that the corporation commits
sion is without jurisdiction to require
the accounting at this time because
the original order of the commission
affirmed by the supreme court and
under authority of which the account
ing is asked was not an order pre-
sCribing rates or charges. 1t was
further argued by the attorneys that
the rates now in force are just, that
hone of the subscribers of the COM
ranv nor the city have objected TO
present rates, and that the company
is losing money under the present
schedule of charges. Arguments We're

T6ny.
The order of the commission un-
der which the attorney general is
claiming a refund required the tele-
phcne company to file notice with
the corporation commission and Sc
cure its permission if rates in excess
or different from those in force Oct.

A fine was imposed on the company
for alleged violation of this order
and the fine was upheld by the SUI

BY reason of this action Assistant
Attorney General Moore is claiming
that portion of any rates charged by
the company in Oklahoma City in
excess of those specified in the order
and put in force without consent of
the commission should be refunded to
subscribers.
The attorneys for the telephone
company also contend that no change
was made in the rates that were in
force for the same service at the time
this order was made.

PLEADS FOR MERIT
IN APPOINTMENTS
PRESIDENT ELIOT OF REFORM
LEAGUE DEPLoRES EVILS OF
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. Fill al
government offices on the merit
system through careful original Sc
lections and careful promotion, and
no civil servant will have any patron
to serve. Require all civil servants
to abstain from partisan political
activity and there will be no Office
holders management of either nom
nations or elections said Presi-
dent Charles W. Eliot, OF the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League
at an address at the thirty-third
annual meeting here tonight.
President Eliot said in part:
President Cleveland ard his re-
publican successors have been
friends Of the merit system and
have helped forward this most fun
damental of all reforms; but all
have made use of the higher civil
Offices which are still filled by the
patronage method, and all have
used the patronage officeholders to
pack and dominate party committees,
caucuses and conventions. All these
presidents without exception have
made appointments for political pur-
poses.
The public is no longer tolerant
of the appearance of officeholders
in the management OF political COM
mittees, caucuses and conventions.
The recent presidential campaign
has made this fact very clear. The
republican party, which has been in
power sixteen years, using to the
full its patronage officeholders as
political managers. has just been
Overwhelmingly defeated by two
parties which had no such office
holders 20 use.
For the first time in the history
of civil service reform president
of the United States has recon-
mended that all the national Offices
be filled on the merit system, ex-
cept. of course, elective positions,
cabinet officers and the assistants
attached 70 capiet offices. To this
recommendation the present con
gress has paid no attention, thus
showing either that the senators
and members of the house do not
understand the great change in pub
lie opinion concerning the civil ser
vice, which has already taken place.
or that they propose to fight for
their patronage as necessary to par
ty or their own political fortunes
The democratic party soon COM
ing into power has a precious op-
portunity. 1t can turn back from
the capitol the horde of hungry
democratic officeseekers that will
inevitably muster there. 1t can re-
fuse to turn out competent and
faithful officials in the higher civil
service although they were in many
cases republican PATRONAGE appoin-
tees 1t can refuse to disturb con-
suls selected by the halfway merit
