Auditor Asks About Claims.

State Auditor Joe McClelland has
asked Attorney General West for an
opinion as to whether he can approve
claims for work previously done in
connection with drilling artesian wells
In Beaver Texas and Cimarron eoun-
ties when the claims are filed sub
sequent to the approval by the gov
ernor Of the bill which repealed the
act authorizing the sinking of the
wells. The 1911 legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for digging wells in
search of artesian water in the Okla
homa panhandle. The experiment
proved to be failure, but not until
all but about $25, 200 of the appropria-
ton had been expended was work
stopped The legislature during the
recent regular session passed an act
intended to stop all future expendi-
lures The legal question which the
attorney general is asked to solve is
whether claims filed with the auditor
since the bill became law can be ap-
proved when they are for work done
before the act became effective.

AFFECTS RURAL RATES.
Corporation Commission Order Settles
Telephone Controversy.

An order issued by the corporation
commission, which becomes effective
April 4, seeks to solve a controversy
of long standing relative to telephone
interests in Alfalfa county aud other
territory in the northwestern part of
the state. The commission has been
working on the matter. for some
months and because numerous inter
ests were concerned complications
arose in the effort to take care of the
interests of all concerned.
The case decided is a consolidated
one, involving the Cherokee Rural and
the Byron Mutual Telephone COM
panies complaining against the
Pioneer Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany. In 1904-5 when the Pioneer
built it's long distance lines through
that portion of the state, contracts
were entered into between the two
complainant companies and the Plo-
neer naming a switching charge OF
25 cents per phone on rural lines, or
a minimum charge of $l.5O month
or a maximum of SO month. Then
when clear wires were later erected
between Lambert and Cherokee the
Pioneer changed the rate from MIN
imum of SO a month to Sc. The con-
tention of the Pioneer was that the
previous contract provided for free
service for rural subscribers only and
in town
to talk with rural subscribers in an
other town; that all business from
town to town were strictly long dis
tance business.
The condition that thus existed is
that subscribers in the small towns
were not allowed, except with extra
charge, or the regular long distance
toll, to talk with subscribers in other
towns on a clear wire. In the opinion
of the commission, the subscriber
would be paying more than the serv
ice was worth to be confined to talk
to only those subscribers in his own
town
The order Of the commission is that
the Pioneer Telephone Company shall
without additional charge, permit
semi-rural subscribers of all rural tele-
phone exchanges located within
radius of fifteen miles on an air line
distance of Cherokee to talk to all OF
the subscribers of the defendants ex-
changes in the town Of Cherokee, and
to the subscribers of all rural lines
switched at the central office in Chero-
kee and to permit all subscribers at
Cherokee, rural or commercial, to talk
to the subscribers of all rural ex-
changes subject to the above rule.
This reciprocal service shall only be
required of the defendant when the
same can be done over the clear
wires of the rural companies. The de-
fendant is ordered to make physical
connection with all clear wires con
meeting any rural exchange within M
teen miles air line from Cherokee.
The defendant is not required to
connect two rural telephone ex-
changes through the Cherokee central
office without reasonable charge
therefor not to exceed five cents per
message. The arrangement shall be
continued and the order shall only.
apply to what is termed semi-rural
subscribers.
