CENT FARE ORDER.
Officials Notify Corporation Cimmis-
sion to This Effect.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 19-Telegraph-
ic dispatches have been received by
J. II. Hyde, secretary of the State cor
poration commission, verifying the
press dispatches carried Sunday
morning that effective at midnight
Saturday the Missouri, Kansas & Tex
as railroad would not further resist
operation of the Oklahoma two-cent
passenger fare for interstate passen-
gers to an Oklahoma destination.
Under the promulgations of the
State corporation comission deriving
authority from the State legislature,
passengers are given the privilege of
stepping off at the first station with
in the border of Oklahoma for the
purpose OF purchasing tickets for tho
rate of 2 cents per mile. The Katy
railroad alone held out against the
order ahd insisted that interstate pas
sengers. destined fer Oklahoma points
should purchase through tickets from
point of origin to destination at the
rate of 3 cents per mile.
Recently several alterations have
occurred between Katy passengers
and conductors on account of the
latter refusing to obey the commits
sion's order and several fines were
assessed against the road for its dis
obedience of the corporations order.
The telegram received by Secretary
Hyde is as follows: Saturday night
at midnight all existing instructions
will be cancelled and train auditors
and conductors of the Missouri, Kan
sas q Texas railroad in Oklahoma or
dered to accept in good faith the pas
senger's declaration as to the char
acter of his journey, whether it is in

the old agitation against the improve

prominent citizen of the street, a
heavy property owner, and a promin-
ent business man, who asks that he
be not given publicity in the matter,
makes statement substantially as
follows:
Il am feeling out the sentiment to-
wards paving the street, and if q
clear majority favor it, | am for it,
and will put forth every effort in be-
half of the paving. The progress OF
the times demands that such improve
ments as street paving, ETC., be made
without some expense. Towns cam
not be built and made into cities with
out cooperation. We must put our
shoulders to the wheel and boost"
A petition asking for the signatures
of the property owners who favor the
paving will probably be circulated in
the near future.
