CITY TO APPEAL
THE LIGHT CASE
Judge Hatchett Granted Mandamus
Petition, Requiring Vote of the
People ON Sale of the Light
Plant, Last Week.

Judge Jesse NJ. Hatchett last Fri
day granted the petition in mandam-
us of c. r. Donaldson, which has the
effect requiring a vote of the peo-
pie to sanction the sale of the city's
light plant to the Durant Ice & Light
Company The city has given notice
of appeal and will carry the case to
the Supreme Court of Oklahoma.
When the city council closed a
deal last July with the Durant Ice &
Light Company for the sale to the
company OF the city's idle light plant,
for consideration of $1S,500 bus
mess men expressed the belief that
the council had made good deal and
secured the best end of the bargain.
The contract provided that thirty per
cent of the purchase price be paid the
! city in electric current for street
lights. and the balance i'm cash, and
the deal was closed. and the property
changed hands.
Alderman Frye got up and present
ed to the council and the mayor pc
tition asking that the people be per-
mitted to vote yea and nay on the
proposition, which was denied.
Then came c. r. Donaldson who
/ filed petition in mandamus in the
district court asking that the council
| be compelled 10 submit the PROPOSE
tion to the vote of the people, and
another case was filed in which the
same plaintiff asked that further
/ proceedings. or the use of the money
received be enjoined.
The court granted the mandarin;
petition last Friady The petition
contended that the vote of the peo
pie was necessary for issuing tn
bonds with which to equip the plant
and hence was necessary before the
plant could be disposed Of

Of course when we consider raw products we
must carry the subject further on into the
matter Of the prices we get and the prices
We must pay for finished products We shall
confDe our consideration, too, TO those products
which have their origin ON the farm either in
the raw stale or finished and manufactured
into edible wearable articles.
Let as take wheat. for example. We all
know that the war has put the price OF wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country; city, town and rural population
we'll are paying more for their hOur--there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which Il costs him
no more TO raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money.
Bot wait a minute-there are other things
80 consider in this matter OF growing rich on
OF the war, Cotton aud wool aud meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too,
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product. he Is also paying
some other agrculturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat on the profits the
war II bringing to the farmer. Then Il would
seem that the best way to keep ahead OF the
game Is for the farmer 10 pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the Increased prices that
the war has brought shout and when buying
