Mr.. RAGS suggestions.

In the practice OF public regulation
from the constructive standpoint Mr.. Rae
made these suggestions:
First--That the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be materially increased
and so organized as to he able to deal
promptly with the very important railroad
questions affecting all parts of this large
country. and thus conserve the time and
energy of railroad officers. the public and
the commission The additional members
of the commission should be selected from
men having experience IN railroad man
aGement, operation, trafNC and finance.
and If men of broad business experience
were also added 1t would be very helpful.
Second-That the positi,n should be
placed beyond political influence, by "a
long tenure Of office. and with comptnsa-
ton sufficient to attract and retain men
OF the widest experience and greatest
ability.
Third---That the regulatory power OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should be clearly extended to the super
vision and control OF all rates and prac-
;ices which directly or remotely affect in
tcrestate transportation or commerce
Fuurth--That the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be given the power to
interfere, by appropriate action, whenever
necessary to maintain rate structure
approved by or satisfactory to II. even
though, to accomplish this, IL should be
necessary for the commission to prevent
reductions OF rates which would have a
contrary effect. or to compel advances Of
rates found by the commission 10 be I'M
reasonably low. An unreasonably low
rate may be beneficial to some one or
more shippers. but the rates OF some other
shippers are sure TO be dsa dvantas eously
affected thereby.
Fifth-That for the existing repressive
policy OF public legislation a construc-
tive policy should be substituted, and ex-
isting legislation should be so modified
as to permit the railroad companies to do
their full share in the development OF
the country's resources
SiXth-That. as another necessary re-
suit Of constructive and equi, able

ment regulation not merely 10 sec that
the public is properly served by those rail-
road managers but also to see that the
owners of the properties are fairly COM
pensated and that their revenues are suiii-
cient to properly discharge their duties TO
the public
But apparently the interests OF every
one have been safeguarded under pub
lie regulation except the interests OF those
who furnish the money for the public SER
vice, and we must protect these investors
upon whom we must rely for future cap
ital
Failure in the last decade to protect
the railroads aud railroad investors has at
last produced a lack of confidence In pub
lie regulation. and we now know that
through the weakness OF the railroads the
whole country is suffering"

MONEY PANIC
DANGER GONE,
SAYS HAMLIN
Law Checks Bank HOarding.
Reserve Head Tells Cham
her of Commerce.
SAMUEL REA GIVES
RAILROAD REMEDIES

The meeting OF the Chamber OF Com
merce of the State of New York held
Yesterday was largely attended by bank
ers, railroad men, merchants ana others
who showed unusual interest in the list
OF speakers which included Charles ),
Hamln Of the Federal Reserve Board.
Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. and Arthur II. Marsh,
former president OF the New York Cotton
Exchange and editor OF the Market World
and Chronicle.
The meeting although the regular
monthly gathering OF the chamber. was
Intended to take the place Of the annual
dinner of the organization. which was
omitted 10y reason of the war, the cost
of the dinner having been contributed TO
the various relief funds.
Mr.. uanlin was introduced by Seth
Low. president of the chamber, and re-
ceived a warm greeting from the nun
dreds in the great hall.
Panics and the New Law.
"J have noticed some comment upon
q remark OF the governor OF one of our
Federal reserve banks recently that the
new system will relegate panics TO OBJ
SECURITY" said Mr.. Hamln. 81 believe this
remark was intended to be applied only
in "A limited sense, that is to financial
as distinguished from commercial pancs.
II IN the future business expands unduly
under the spirit OF speculation the day
% reckoning will surely come in the fu-
ture as 1t has In the past
Undue expansion will correct itself
lust as the air bubble will ultimately
burst I believe however. that the Fed
tral reserve system will materially check
undue expansion by making banks con-
servative as to their loans because OF
the knowledge that any departure from
strictly commercial transactions will take
away their ability to liquidate such in
yestments 10y rediscounts in the Federal
reserve banks.
at il a fact. however. that. even under
the Federal reserve system. or to speak
more accurately entirely outside the Fed

it In their power to permit. II not to en-
courage, undue speculative activity, and
II they do this the inevitable result
commercial stringency--must follow.
When the State bank and trust COM
panies of the United States join the Fed
eral reserve system. I hone in the near
future. even that possibility will be greatly
mnimzed.
There is one form of panic which I
believe the Federal reserve system Will
relegate to its proper place. the museum
Of antiquities. and that is the panic gen
el'afed by distrus in our banking system,
leading to a Struggle for self-preservatlon
between bank and bank and individual
and individual and ultimate boarding by
the people.

been one-fourth Of an inch.
Wheat growers throughout this sec

deal OF forage viii be sown after this
rain, and <he farmers state that there
Will be no scarcity Of feed stuff, not
withstanding the fact that the corn

THE DISTRICTS
MAY ' D 7 {
EXTRA LEVY.
SEVERAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WANT MORE MONEY THAN THE
REGULAR 5-MIlL LEVY WILL
GRANT. MUST VOTE ON 1T.

Several school districts in the coun-
ty are requiring more money than the
regular five-mill levy plus the ten
mills that the excise board can grant
them under the law and for that rea-
son several of the districts are plan
ming to hold a special election to vote
on an extra levy for school purposes.
One school district in particular sent
in their estimate that would require
a levy OF siNty-fye mills to meet ac-
cording 10 the assessed valuation of
the district. Several school boards
have asserted that they would hold
elections for this purpose as they were
anxious for good schools and were
willing to make the necessary sacri.
flee to get them.

BAD INDIAN
RUNS AMUCK.
KILLS WOMAN
FENDER, is IN COUNTY JAIL
WITH CHARGE OF MURDER
AGAINST HIM.

Near Provence, six miles east oi
Ardmore, last night between eight
and nine o'clock, Hickman Willis, an
indian with a bad reputation, shot and
instantly killed Rena Davis, an Indian
--~'"" and perhaps fatally wounded
historical sos,.,, of about
sixteen years VI -, ID now in
the sanitarium, suffering from a gun.
shot wound in the head.
1t seems that the Indians were at
the home of the Davis woman near
Provence, and had just finished the
days work, when Willis drove up
very drunk, and carrying shotgun.
According to witnesses, without any
provocation, Willis began shooting,
with the above result. The first shot
took effect in the person of the wom-
an, killing her instantly. He then
turned the gun on her son, and shot
him in the head.
Sheriff Garrett was notified and
with Deputy Fred Williams, went to
Provence and placed Willis and an
other Indian, Robert Lee, said to be
implicated, under arrest, and they are
now in the county Jail, awaiting de-
Willis, when seen by the county
attorney this morning, stated that he
did not have any recollection of his
act, that he was drunk, had shotgun
in his hands, and began shooting, but
further than that, had no recollection
of the affair. He said that no one
tried to fight him, and he blames the
whole affair to the fact that he was
drunk
Willis has had a long police court
record and also he has been mixed
up in several cases of more serious
nature 1t will be remembered that he
was tried and acquitted in the dis
trict court of this county some time
ago for killing another Indian with
4 knife. When sober he is docile
but once liquor begins to
lddle his brain. he is a bad Indian
and one that it is we'll to shun.
AS soon as the condition of the boy
S ascertained, Willis will be given a
hearing.

To HELP CAUSE
OKLAHOMA PANAMA EXPOSITION
COMMISSION WILL SELL TAGS
ALL OVER THE STATE TO AID
BUILDING FUND.

A novel scheme that ought to be
successful, has just been outlined by
the Oklahoma Panama exposition COM
mission in a letter to the mayor of
every town and city in Oklahoma.
Governor Cruce recently designated
Saturday, August 18th as Exposition
Dollar Day" and the commission is
making it Tag Day" throughout the
state They have written every mayor
urging his cooperation and enclosing
a few tags to be sold at $100 each in
tend TO the matter personally if pos
sible, but if too busy, to get some
ladies to attend to the matter, and
have arranged to publish August 23,
tributing, name of party superintend-
ing the Tag Day" in each town, and
be published of those towns that do
not contribute anything. Only a small
town and it is expected that the full
amount will be sold in every instance,
and thus assure the early success of
this big movement.

SELL. TAGS
FOR OKLAHOMA
BUILDING
NEXT SATURDAY DESIGNATED BY
GOVERNOR AS TAG AND DOL
LAR DAY TO RAISE FUNDS FOR
APPROPRIATE BUILDING.

Next Saturday has been designated
by Governor Cruce as Dollar and Tag
Day in every city in the state in order
to raise funds to construct an appro-
pirate state building at the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
next year, and it is believed that in
one day the good people of the state
will raise the amount lacking to build
structure the state will be proud
Of. A committee of ladies suggested by
the secretary of the chamber of com
merCe has been named by the COVER
nor, and they are expected to work
diligently on that date and see that
no one passes through the streets of
the city who does not bear a tag.
Judge Jesse Dunn, former chief just.
ice of the supreme court of Oklahoma
but now a resident of Oakland, Cali
fornia, has returned to Oklahoma for
the purpose of delivering a series of
lectures and assisting in raising the
necessary fund to build this proposed
structure, the site of which has al
ready been selected so that Oklaho-
mans visiting the exposition next year
may view building representing one
of the youngest states of which they
can be justly proud.
All ladies whose names have ap-
peared in this paper as members of
the committee should communicate
with President Mullen or with Secre-
tary West of the Chamber of Com
merce, and any desired information
will be given them. Oklahoma must
have the money raised and the work
on the building started by October
/, otherwise the site will be forfeited.
Carter County's pro-rata share is $500,
and the women will raise that amount
by assessment and selling tags next
Saturday.
