guest of her uncle at Maybrook.
With two younger children Bertha
had been fishing in a brook, when a

OF the proposed amendment Of article
9 Of the state constitution which is to

ator Kendrick in a speech on Second
and chickasha avenue last night The
senator was introduced by T. H.

in the band concert. a large crowd be
ing present
That the people rather than the cor
porations would benefit by the pro
posed change was the statement Of
Mr. Kendrick, who declared that the
trunk line railroads were not in favor
OF the amendment which is now before
the people
1t was pointed out that Ia the
event the law forbidding railroad con
solidation is repealed, small lines Ike
the Oklahoma Central and the Wichi.
ia Falls G. Northwestern would be alb
sorbed By the larger systems, which
would make it possible for the corpor.
alton commission to order two cent
fares and reduced freight rates on
those roads and at the same time the
property would be assessed for taxa
ton on the same basis as the trunk
lines.
The speaker said there would be it,
tie railroad building in Oklahoma un
der present conditions because none
Of the domestic lines were paying ant
financiers we're unwilling to inyesf
more money in such enterprises. II
was further shown that the interest.
of the public would be amply safe
guarded under the powers given to tbs
corporation commission by the pending
amendment.
Before closing his speech, senaio
Kondriek offered some arguments il
opposition to the repeal Of the mininl
law adopted by the last Legislature
which is also to be submitted to TIL
