BROKER SAYS
ROCK ISLAND
METHODS G00D
CONDITIONS BLAMED FOR Re
OWNERSHIP HIGHER TAXES
AND COST OF MATERIAL AND
LABOR ARE CITED

Washington, June 6.-The RocE
Island railway receiyership and
changes in the directorate which ac-
companied it were the subject OF FUR
ther testimony Saturday al the inter
state commerce commissions inyes-
tigation OF the roads financial affairs
Samuel Untermyer, representing y
NJ Amster OF Boston, a director who
headed a committee which sought 10
elect an opposition ticket of directors
questioned J. Horace Harding, a New
York broker who organized the win.
ming ticket Untermyer wanted TO
show Harding was acting for W H.
Moore and Daniel G. Reid. Harding
insisted he had acted in behalf of
the public interest and the fact that
Moore and Reid were large clients
of his was a mere coincidence.
Commissioner Clements asked
Harding If the receivership could
have been avoided if the Rock Island
had not been compelled, since 1902,
to pay 81, 100000 as dividends on the
stocks and bonds of the holding COM
pany. Harding said that was a
minor matter, and he mentioned
other roads in receiyership, none OF
which has a holding company.
The increased cost of material
and labor and higher taxes in the
last three or four years has made the
good railroads cut mighty close and
has put the third grade roads very
close TO insolvency" said Harding.
So you would have the commission
believe that the Rock Islands sit
uation is not due TO the buccaneering
methods OF its management by which
its common stock, for instance, was
put into the hands of a holding com
pany, bonds were issued and stocks
and bonds were pyramide thereupOn
for the company 10 pay dividends on
but is due to the law of the land ~
inquired Mr.. Untermyer.
Mr.. Harding denied there had been
many buccaneering methods, at least
any of which he had knowledge.
Mr.. Amster told of his fight to elect
directors.

WAR AND SUPERSTITION.

War creates a revolution in the
thought Of the world. The tendency IS
toward religion or superstition. There
are many evidences that the present
war has materially changed the
thought Of the countries engaged and
that revolution is not confined exclu
siyely to those countries, but is more
pronounced there. Preachers no
longer talk to empty seats. Those
who can, go to the churches to wor-
ship.
In Victoria, Canada, a man named
Justin Gilbert is writing each week
on some scriptural text and mailing
his sermon to the press of the coun-
try. He is spending a considerable
sum with no hope OF any revenue
The man is in earenst. He sees as far
as he is concerned the fulfilling Of
much OF the scripture and he is
anxious that others see the same
prophecies fulfilled Pastor Russell is
out lecturing on his view of the Ar
mageddon and is attracting many TO
him
An echo OF the same kind OF senti-
ment which prevailed in this country
during the civil war is heard now
in Dallas In 1862 the law making
body of that state passed some very
rigid Sunday laws. Those laws
sprang from the sadness Of the
people when their men were being
slain in battle. When the war was
ended the laws were a dead letter,
but they remained upon the statute
books. When an effort was made to
close the Sunday picture shows the
laboring men who wanted to enjoy
the shows on the Sabbath resented
the effort In retaliation the laborers
dug up the old blue law statutes and
have taken them before the county
attorney. The attorney states that he
will enforce them As a result Dallas
will be closed very tight on Sun
days The laborers state that the
best way to get rid of an unpopular
law is to enforce it.

Exnect 1.ooo Cars Potatoes

Tulsa, Okla, June 6.-One thousand
cars is the estimate of the early po-
tato crop in the Arkansas valley,
which will be moving to market in
about two weeks. A week ago the
great potato beds at Fort Gibson, and
at other points along the Arkansas riv-
er were threatened by floods, but the
temporary dikes erected as an emer-
gency precaution held, and the crop
was saved. At Fort Gibson there are
2.2OO acres, and the acreage at other
points is exceptionally large, and the
prospect all that could be desired.

PAVING QUESTION.

To the Mayor and Board of Com
missioners Of the city OF Ardmore,
in general; Mr. W c. Dewitt, in par
ticular:
Gentlemen-Pursuing further the
matter of improvements of pave
ments. permit me to suggest that
you have the law enforced in in
stances where pavements have been
removed for the making of gas or
water connections, and that here
after before permit is issued for
such work, that he require a bond be
given to protect in the repair.
Properly cared for streets are to
the city what covering is to the par
lor floor or clothing to the body. For
beautifying of the city the proper
care of the streets are necessity.
The rate of taxation in incorpor-
ated towns in eastern Oklahoma is
too burdensome to Justify a further
extension of their asphalt pavements.

No Compensation for Assessors

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 6.-An
opinion from the attorney general
holds that county assessors have no
compensation for gathering statistics
for the board of agriculture as requir
ed by law. The letter was written to
President Gault of the board in reply
to a request from him. The county
assessor of Choctaw county had asked
Mr. Gault about the matter and it has
been passed on to the attorney gen
eral by that official. The attorney gen
eral holds that the pay provided for
assessing must be considered pay for
any other work that may be done by
the assessor as required by law.
