Oklahoma City. Ok. Dec. 31.-on
producers In the Oklahoma fields are
preparing to ask the legislature 20
give the corporation commission a
greater power over the pipe lines OF
the state. The theory OF the pro-
ducers who have been studying this
matter is that the legislature can az
ford all the relief that may be rn-
quired by exercising It's power TO
change some definitions in the Con-
stitution which are by that document
placed within the legislative power.
The general opinion IL that the Con-
stitution was very carefully framed
to avoid giving power to the Corpora
tion Commission in so far as the pipe
lines are concerned. save In very
vague and indefinite manner
Section 4. Article TX OF the Con-
stitution. is as follows:
"All the pipe line companies shall
be subject to the reasonable control
and regulation OF the Corporation
Commission. and shall receive and
transport each others tonnage. or
oils. or commodities. under such rule
and regulation as shall be prescribed
by law, or such commission.
This is the only constitutional Jur-
isdiction conferred upon the corpora
tion commission with reference to
the pipe lines. There is a section in
the Constitution. however, that Of
fers way out. II is as follows:
After the Second Monday In Jan
uary, 1909. the legislature may, by
law. from time 10 time, alter, Rn-
end, revise or repeal sections from 3
to 80. inclusive, of this article, or
any OF them, or any amendments
thereof; provided that no amend
ment made under the authority OF
this section shall contravene the pro
visions Of any part OF this Constitl-
tion other than said sections last re-
ferred to above. or any such amen l.
ment thereof"
The suggestion has oeen made q
amend the definition of transport 4
"As used In this article the term
transportation company shall u,
clude any company, corporation. trus
tee. receiver, or other persons, own

tendent Wilson favors the adoption
OF such a policy. Superintendent VII.
son favors the adoption OF non

ing the state superintendent OF public

OF the county schools.
The election OF the state superin-
tendent. he thinks. should be made
by the district judges OF the state and
the tenure Of office heightened suffic
iently TO make Il attractive 20 men OF
high attainments. superintendent
Wilson would have the law so franz
cd that this electoral body might 60

der TO get efficient men for the posi-
tions.
For the election OF teachers he pro
poses the county unit system ~
which the teachers will be examined
and elected by county central board
Of education. This would eliminate
all favoritism and all personal and all
political policies in filling the posi-
tions In the public schools. All pro-
motions and all appointments would
be made upon merit and under the
civil service scheme OF appointment.
He also suggests that some scheme
OF electing the county superintend on .
should be adopted that would entire
ly eliminate political considerati m
in their election. There Is no reason
why the same high standard set by
the city boards of education in select
ing superintendent OF city schools
should not be followed IN electine
a county superintendent of schools
Our rural schools are too sacred Ia
be handed over bodily to some poll
tician simply because he is a popular
man and a good vote getter.
State Superintendent Wilson is ic
be strongly commended in his stand
for clean and efficient schools. The
whole state will rally to his support
in pushing through the legislation
necessary to bring about these re.
forms. See that your county repre-
sentatives vote right when these
questions come up before the legis
lature this winter.
