RE TA|[ERS ARE
BRANCHING OUT.
PREPARING TO DO GREATER
THINGS THE COMING YEAR
ORGANIZING STRONGER.

The Ardmore Retailers association
is preparing for better things the
coming year and are going to make
an effort to enlist every business
man in the city in the organization.
At the recent meeting the question
above referred to was discussed and
every member is pledged as a com
mittee of one to see that every mer-
chant ami business man in the city
becomes member for mutual pro-
lection.
The retailers are deeply interested
in the telephone rate controversy
now on before the corporation com
but as the case was delayed
for thirty days there was nothing
done about it at the last meeting.
The organization is gradually grow
ing and has been of jnestimable ben
eft to the members during the past

MEETING Of LAW
AND ORDER LEAGUE
ORGANIZATION is NOT DEAD BY
ANY MEANS. MEETING OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

For some time it has been whisper
ed that the Law and Order League of
the city was dead, but from the re-
ports that emanated from the meet
ing of the executive committee this
morning, it would seem that it has
been about the livest proposition in
the city for the past thirty days.
The session OF the executive com
mittee was held this morning and it
was decided to issue an order for
mass meeting of the citizens to be
held at the Broadway Baptist church
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. This
meeting is called for all the citizens
of the city, but boys and girls under
16 years of age will not be admitted
as the testimony they might be COM
PEELED to listen to might not do them
any good. A tthe mass meeting the
committee will present its report of
the work done by the league since
its organization and also the report OF
the secert service work done by de
tectives during the past thirty days.
From what little the committee
would give out this morning, it would
seem that the report of the conditions
made in the spring, would be tame
in comparison. The executive com
mittee aver that the town is alive
with lawlessness and that gambling,
whiskey selling and disorderly houses
have been permitted during the past
sixty days, and that their secret ser
vice men will report on these condi-
tions Sunday afternoon. 1t is stated
that the league has a mass of affi-
davits which will also be presented,
and they will present them to the
grand jury when it conyenes next
Tuesday.

affect articles covered under trade

DISSOLUTION IS

OIL COMPETITION NOT FORCED
BY DECREE. MORE PUBLICITY

Washington, d. c., Feb. l.. Curl
Gus and farcical results followed the
Standard Oil dissolution decree; it did
not enforce competition" Herbert
Knox Smith, former commissioner Of
corporations, told the house commerce
commission today at a hearing on the
Murdock trade commission bill.
With William Draper Lewis, dean of
the law school of the University Of
Pennsylvania, and d. r. Richberg of
New York, MIR. Smith favored the
Murdock bill, embodying the ideas
of the progressive party, as opposed
to the Clayton administration bill.
They declared the Murdock bill would
be more effective. Besides favoring a
uniform accounting system, Mr.. Smith
urged the possibilities Of cooperation
between a trade commission and cor
porations, and declared the publicity
that would follow would be of great
benefit.
There must be some administra
tive service" he said. "The courts
can not take its place"
Courts too Cumbersome.
The progressive witnesses declared
that nine out of ten dissolutions un-
der the Sherman law were useless that
controlling patent rights
or transportation facilities could not
be effectively broken up by the disso
luton procedure and that leaving the
administration of the present laws
to the courts was too cum
bersome and inadequate. They advo-
Gated empowering an interstate trade
commission broadly to stop unfair
practices.
Senators Oliver and Lippitt want
the trade commissions powers limited |
to prevent publication of the affairs
of any innocent corporation and would |.
have the law guard against illegal |
search or seizure. Chairman Newland 4.
asked Senator Oliver to draft such
amendment. Further conferences will
take up regulation of holding COM
panies.
I'VE have got to allow a certain d.
gree of concentration among corpora
ions said former Commissioner
Smith. There should be an automal-
C regulation of corporations and the
should be kept open for
but there should be no
attempt to force them to compete
igainst their will. We tried it in the
standard Oil case, for instance, and
lid not succeed. The oil monopoly
low is not based on the concentrated
control of the oil wells, the oil area,
out because the Standard Oil Com
lany owns the pipe lines, the Only
means of getting the oil away from
he wells"
