Oklahoma City, Aug. THAT coun-
ty assessors and excise boards in
some counties are planning to neglect
making raises in valuations ordered
by the state board of equalization was
the charge made in a motion offered
Friday morning at a session of the
state body by Fred Parkinson, exam
iner and inspector.
Mr. Parkinson suggested that in or
der to compel the counties to comply
with orders of the state board, the
auditor be instructed to withhold as
sessments of all public service cor
porations until the excise board fol-
low out instructions.
Information that some of the eX-
else boards intend to evade the state
body's recommendations was received
in letters to members of the board of
equalization, Mr.. Parkinson said.
Whether Oklahoma county is one of
those Mr. Parkinson referred to, is
not known.
The motion was not acted upon by
the board, but was left pending and
will be considered later.

WOULD PUT TEETH IN ACT,
Todd Advocates Administration Bill
Before House Body.

An argument for the passage of the
administration bill designed to put
teeth" into the commodities clause
| OF the Interstate commerce act was
| made before the House Committee on
Interstate Commerce yesterday by As
sistant Attorney General Todd. Of the
Department of Justice. The purpose
of this bill is to prohibit railroads from
owning or controlling. directly or in
directly. companies producing articles
that enter into interstate commerce.
The administration takes the posi-
ton that this was the intent of the
commodities clause. but that the act
was so loosely drawn as to defeat its
purpose.
The present law as il has been con-
stirred by the courts" declared Mr.
Todd, does not accomplish the separa-
tion of production from transportation
II does not prohibit the transportation
by common carriers of coal actually
produced by the carrier, but in which
the railroad disposes of its property
interests just before transportation is
begun. A railroad is not prohibited
from controlling a mining corporation
by stock ownership, and there Is moth
ing in the present law to prevent a
manufacturing concern from owning a
common carrier"
Chairman Adamson indicated that no
attemP would he made to pass this
proposed Legislation tat tie current.
session. He said that il the commit
tee decided to press the measure at
this time railroad representatives op-
posed to the bill would be heard by the
committee.
