HERE LAST NIGHT
STOPS OVER EN- ROUTE TO OK
lAHOMA CITY ANND MEETS
FEW FRIENDS AT RANDOL.

Representative w. II. Murray
stopped over between trains last
night en- route from his home al
Tishomingo to Oklahoma City and
held an informal reception at the
Randol hotel. Quite a number of
local politicians and citizens were
on hand to meet him and give him
the glad hand.
Mr.. Murray discussed to some
length the currency bill recently
passed and also touched on the sub
ject of farm credits. OF the latter
he said that it was problematic as
to the extent of its benefits that
in all probability the same commit
tee that framed the currency bill
would write the latter and it was
doubtful if they were sufficiently
familiar with the conditions OF the
country to frame a bill that would
be of great and lasting benefit. Mr.
Murray spoke entertainingly oil
things political in Washington and
spoke a good word for the United
States Indian Commissioner who will
be in Ardmore next week. He left
last night at 1901 for Oklahoma
CITY but said that he would make
an effort to be back here next Wed
nesday to meet Commissioner Sells
and be cf what assistance he could |
to the citizens of this section of
the state.

RAILROADS, WIN AND LOSE
Flat Raise Of Rates Denied, But In
creases Of I to 5 Per Cent Are
"a Given Where Justified. ~

Washington, June 1.-THE salient
points Of the decision OF the interstate
commerce commission On the petition
OF the railroads of the eastern d.
vision Of the country for a five per
cent increase in rates are:
i. The commission will deny the
application for a, fiat increase Of three
per cent. \
q. However, 1t will grant increases
ranging from one to five per cent and
perhaps higher on commodities now
transported below cost. r.
9. It will decline to make advances
uncertain other commodities. 4
4. The public will be emphatically
warned that the increases ordered do
not Justify any advance in the prices
OF food or other necessities. IS
s. The railroads will be denounced
for engaging in a gigantic conspiracy
to create a public sentiment in favor
of! the five per cent increase and
against the commission. 5 II
The task Of making equitable rates
upon the thousand upon thousand
commodities is a tremendous one, and
ID responsible for the delay OF the
commissioner filing its decision. Ere
3quently a$change in the rate for the
transportation Of one commodity at.
fects the rates upon hundreds OF
others. "a
The commission has completed part
OF the work. But a vast amount re
mains to be done. 1t is not believed
the commission will be able to report
much before a month.
