That astute manager, Mr.. A. H. Woods
whose theatrical successes are legion, has
surely picked another winner in Robert
w. Chambers, The Common Law" a
dfamatization OF which was presented
last season by Mr.. Woods in such man
ner as to leave no doubt regarding its
future as an entertainment well calculat-
ed to rivet the attention OF that class of
theatregoers who will give serious
thought to something substantial. as
against the multifarious offerings in the
lighter vein Of stage presentations.

widespread interest in witnessing the

spared no pains nor expense in making
the production complete in every detail
and has gathered together company OF
players who may be absolutely relied on

In the report to Gov. Cruce that is
to be made this week by the Corpo
ration Commission. recommendations
are made for law that will be
unique. This purposed law will re-
quire all manufacturing companies
to file with the Corporation Com
mission a complete list of all parts
of their machines and implements
that are sold in Oklahoma, with tho
price of each part fixed. The total
of the parts shall not be of greater
cost than the completed machine or
implement. The Corporation Com
mission will be given power to pro-
vide penalties for any sale of any
part of the machine or implement at
a price in excess of the filed list.
This idea has been evolved by
Commissioner Henshaw as result
of investigation wherein he has dis
covered that the average cost of any
farm implement, automobile or any
other machine in use generally by
any class of Oklahoma people 10 four
times the selling price of the ma
chine when it is bought part at a
time. In the matter of farm ma.
chinery and automobile there is con-
slant demand far parts to replace
broken or worn pieces. Should such
al aw be- enacted 1t would be possi-
BILE for the owner of any. machine
sold in Oklahoma to secure any part
OF that machine at the prorata cost
of the whole machine. No machine
would be permitted to be sold in this
state unless the manufacturer filed
the price list OF parts as provided,
and the sale of any part at a price
greater than it's proportion to the
price of the whole machine as shown
in the list would result in revocation
of the license to sell the machine in
this state.
This is the only item of legislation
that is to be included in the annual
report Of the Corporation Commits
sion at this time. The commission.
Mr.. Henshaw says, has found its
machinery for performing its func-
tions very satisfactory.
"There is no sound argument" /"
said Commissioner Henshaw. "sup-
porting the practice that machinery
manufacturers have of charging from
two to four times as much for a ma
chine that is sold as parts as is
charged for the complete machine.
This is crying evil that ought to
