The sale of the st. Louis & San
Francisco railroad, which is sched.
uled to take place at the Chouteau
avenue roundhouse in st. Louis to-
day. will bring within sight the end
of the three year receivership, during
which the system has been divested
OF two important subsidiaries. the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the,
New Orleans, Texas & Mexico. The
sale under foreclosure was decreed in
the United States circuit court by
Judge Sanborn on March 81 and he
fixed the minimum price at s45,700,.
900, 1t is generally believed in finan-
cial circles that there will be but one
bidder for the property, the reOrgani-
Zation managers, who have submitted
to the public service commission of
Missouri a comprehensive plan roi
financing the road. The plan was
accepted by the commission, except
that feature providing for a voting
trust to hold the stock OF the road
for five years. This plan was allowed
to remain in the reorganization plan,
subject to a court decision as to its
validity under Missouri law.
A strong effort is being bade in in
terstate commerce and administration
circles to get the interstate commerc.

DEC,DENCE or LEGISLATURES.

Some people may contend that
legislatures have not dcteriorated
that our impression TO that effect
was simply a matter Of perspective
which emphasizes the evils of the
present and glosscs over the mistakes
Of the long past; but the people who
thus contend certainly have never at
tended a session OF the Oklahoma leg
lslaturc or sat in the present national
congress. Not to mention the lack
OF real oratory, which some people
love to refer to. there Is painful
tendency to do nothing unless 1t can
be turned to some partisan benefit
The people nowadays in other states
as well as Oklahoma do not trust
legislatures and do not expect them to

binding her to the merits of one of the
most revolutionary factors that has ap-
pesred in the realm of the drama in
more than a generation-Max Relnhardt.
In the March number OF Drawing. Sarah
inveighs against Reinhardt's art with the
visor OF a literary Amazon. II his pro-
ductions, she declares, did catch on for
time, 1t was only because the people
in the stalls were given a chance to get
a closer view Of the artists. Have no
fear" she exclaims, 1T was not out of
admiration for Reinhardts pseudo art. -
We have been too tolerant with them
(the Germans). We allowed them to blow
their own trumpet OF superiority so long
that We became intoxicated with the
sound Out of an excessive spirit of self
aonegation we foolishly placed them on a
pedestal. We unjustly decried our own
merits at the expense of our art We
have permitted them TO gain triumphs in
countries outside their own, not because
we lacked discernment of their artistic
infertority, but rather because our masses
were gulled by their business capacity
manifested by their persistently display
ing a gigantic poster advertisement and
engineering an extensive press campaign
