PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ROBBED
EN0IIGH.

It is probable that the government
will take charge of the coal mines and
dictate all prices from the mine to the
Y consumer, allowing a reasonable prof
lit only. If the scheme works well
will the people of the country ever al
low themselves to be robbed by the
coal barons again? No one has a
right to monopolize common neces-
!: s:sity and amass millions out of the
needs Of the poor. If the war has
2 taught US better and fairer system
the people ought to insist that such
system be continued. Treat the big
interests fairly. Give them reason
able profit, and then hold them to it.
When the public discovers that it
doesn't have to be fleeced by the rail-
roads, the coal barons, the big pack
ers, the food gamblers, the grain
spectators, and the steel trust, the
paper trust, the, oil trust and the
thousand and one other big combines,
that is going to be new day for the
United States Of America. When you
vote for candidate for congress next
time don't vote for a man simply be-
cause he wants to go, or because he
can make a spread-eagle speech.
Don't vote for man because he be-
longs to some particular party. There
are just as many slippery eels in one
party as in another. There isn't a
cents worth of difference. But vote
for man who is sound and honest
along these important lines; who will
not let all the grabbers and grafters
slip back into their old places now the
war is over.

"John Smith junior YOU act like

ESaspefatcd mothers have been
known to shout this at their careless
offspring when they track mud across
newly scrubbed floors
But at least two Oklahoma City
mothers will have good reasons for
bringing such an indictment against
their small boys, according to ]. J.
Dwyer president Of the Oklahoma
City Real Estate board Dwyer says
tina, there are two fairly weilto-do
families IN Oklahoma City OF whom
he knows who are living IN barns to-
day because they have been unable to
find suitable houses. The barns have
been remodeled and repaired until the
families can build homes OF their own.
In other parts Of the country and
abroad the situation IS much worse
than here, Dwyer says. Congestion
and lack OF homes in London, Eng
land, is said TO be so acute that fami-
lies are living in box cars, garages,
old buses and automobile. bodies.
Some Of the wealthy class have trans
formed garages into temporary homes,
the report runs.
The fact that difficulty is expert
enced now in finding suitable homes
here should not discourage prospec-
tive home buyers from coming to the
city, Dwyer says, because II is ex-
pec,ed that the campaign TO build
1000 homes will afford almost i'm
mediate relief.

BOYLE 0|L-CAS
DISPUTE ENDED
BY HIGH COURT
Application for Rehearing Is
Denied Mine Inspector,

The supreme court this morning
ended the controversy between Ed
Boyle, state mine inspector, and the
corporation commission, when Boyle's
application for rehearing Of the case
wherein the court upheld the constitu-
,ionality OF the oil and gas conscrva-
tion department was denied.
The oil and gas department Of the
corporation commission was created
by an act f the legislature in 1915,
Boyle contended tthe act creating the
department was unconstitutional be-
cause, he alleged, it took away from
him certain inalienable duties con-
ferred by the constitution upon his de-
partment Boyle contended that the
chief mine Inspector had exclusive
jurisdiction over all masters relating
to the conservation Of oil and gas in
Oklahoma.
