BE NOT TOO HAsTY IN CHANGE.

| Probably every intelligent adult in the civil
| lied nations has wondered how conditions were
| to be changed as result of this war. All see
that changes are inevitable and have already
begun and it cannot have escaped attention
that they all in the direction of iberalizing
institutions, popularlzing governments and the
more general diffusion of wealth and power.
Instructed by history, many must perceive, as
does Premier Lloyd George, that the matter of
vital concern for the nations now is to keep the
movement in hand, within wise limits, and by
Ia we'll advised reconstruction avoid both revo-
luton and reaction. The great danger has al
ways been that such movements are too violent
and go too fast and far This not only invites
reaction but works fearful injustice and destruc
ton as once in France and as in Russia today.
The tendency ever is to go from one extreme to
the other. Peoples to whom liberty has been
denied lose their heads and institute rel GINS of
lawlessness and license The English revolution
which overthrow James III and made the mon
archy constitutional is about the only one in
history that was held within bounds and did not
go unduly far. The people, wisely guided,
complished their purpose, secured their hber
ties and stopped. Whether Germany will be
able to iberalize her institutions without de
structive frenzy remains to be seen.
Our danger here in America is that theorists
and demagogues who see panacea in every
novel proposition will demand the sudden social
ization of the state. Not content with govern
ment regulation of monopolies and great in
dustries privately owned, they will clamor for
government ownership of railroads, wires,
waterpowers, coal mines, and no one knows
what else. Seeking by legislation hastily fran
ed to rebuild society on foundations, they
VIII attempt to do all at once what could come
safely only as a gradual growth, and would
thus bring confusion and disaster on the land.
Some of our problems, rehabilitation, the sus-
pension of war industries and the return of mil
lions to vocations of peace, will face other ma
tons also. But each will have problems pecul-
iarly its own; and in all of them the peril is that
reconstruction will be so radical as 20 be de-
structive of much that is OF value IN the world.
A lot Of Americans who were in arms eighteen
to forty-five years ago will soon begin all over
again under new management and with bot
ties barred.
There is one objection to the allies taking so
many German prisoners. a great majority Of
them may resist being sent home after the war.

Flint Moss, Tulsa attorney. who rep.
resented theNcity at the meeting In
Oklahoma City Il week ago the
company has engineers at work now
and expects to present "A petition

domestic gas.
The present petition, Mr.. Moss
said last night, is based on the COM

the estimated cost Of tho line is

Representatives OF the cities OPP
posed to the increases will attempt
to show that the new line is not
necessary and that the company can
get all the gas needed from wells ad-
jacent to their lines, provided they
will pay reasonable price. The
will pay only 3 cents, and
at this price can make plenty of
profit at the present rate of IL cents
and an increase is unjustified. said
Mr.. Moss. Development, is hindered
because the company will not pay
moro than 8 cents, producers
finding 1t Improbable to develop

Mr. Moss charged that last winter
while Tulsa was freezing, the Okla
homa Natural was buying gas from
fields within six miles of Tulsa for
3 cents and selling 1t to the Kan
sas Natural for 10 cents. That Is the
reason Tulsa was without sufficient
gas supply during the winter, he
said.

Tulsa and Sapulpa could supply a
large quantity Of gas to the com
pany at a reasonable price, he says.
Sapulpa is supplied from this field
and the company there pays the pro-
ducers 5 cents. The contention of the
towns in fighting the increase is that
tho gas company can afford to pay
u price of cents and still make
reasonable profit and that by paying
the price, production will be In.
