What must be regarded as sensible; view of the railroad situation is that which has been taken by the interstate commerce commission in allocating SIPS, 100000 of the railroad revolving. fund for the purpose of purchasing roll- ing stock for the trunk line railroads.
 This. takes into consideration the fact that the railroads are in need of fair treatment if they are. going to. be able to respond to the needs of the country that they have not been properly supplied with new equipment for the past several years and that if the big transportation prob lens today are going to be solved there must be the provision of the locomo- tives and cars that are so much needed in order to handle the business.
 It is useless to expect that the rail roads, eramped as they have been for a number of years are going to be able to make immediate response to the sit uation without such help as the govern ment thus gives. It is not to be for gotten that they have been held under such strict and unjust regulations for considerable time before the war that they were prevented from doing those very things that the government imme- diately put into effect as soon as it took control From that time on it has been recognized that the railroads of the country were not being given the fair deal entitled to in order to improve their service, make extensions and prepare foi business development.
 With the governments failure to main. tain and increase tire rolling stock oi the roads while they were under its control it could hardly be expected tf1a' the roads upon the resumption of con trol could be expected to handle g much larger volume of business with al equipment that had not been kept uI with the transportation demands. Ever with this handicap recognized before thu congestion due to the series of strike:
 that aggravated condition served to em phasize it it's glaring realities.
 ! A certain part of the help the road need has thus been furnished and it i
 unfortunate that they will not be abl
 to get the equipment as quickly as tn,
 money was aIlocated.

OBREGoN's TASK.

Good reason is there for the concern which is being manifested among the eaders of the revolutionary forces in Mexico over the manner in which Car 'anza has been put out of the way. Changing government by means of as- lassination has serious disadvantages It ioesn't set we'll with other nations and very new government understands the importance of getting the recognition sf other nations for the help and the !avors that may later be sought
 Thus it Is readily realized that the revolutonists want to have it understood that they were in no way responsible for the murder of the deposed presi- dent This accounts for the explana- tions that are being offered, for it is desired to avoid the endorsements that accrued to Huerta following the murder of Madero and 1t is necessary to show that the promised offer of protection tc Carranza was not trap to hasten his end
 Obregon is therefore facing the i'm. portant duty of presenting a convincing statement relative to the manner ir which Carranza met death. Much de. bends upon it in connection with the government &hich he expects to head. | will be remembered that there was nc desire to shoulder the responsibility when Huerta faced a similar situation He denied any part therein and it wa, not for some time that the real stor, of the affair was disclosed.
 For that reason Obregon, even thougl ne claims the revolutionists are in n, way involved but that Carranza me ieath due to the treachery of his owl followers, recognizes the importance o setting up positive proof to that effect There is need of eliminating all doub and of clearing away all suspicion tha he whole affair may have been the re suit of well laid plot to have it appea hat Carranza's friends turned on hir when such was not the case. Obrego shows that he understands the positio In which he has been placed. whethe he can prove that he was in no way ir plicated remains to be seen.

The REPUBLIC RUBBER corporation
of Youngstown, Ohio, manufacturers of
the famous Staggard Tread REPUBLIC
Grande Cord and Fabric Tires and RE-
PUBLIC Inner Tubes, has enjoyed such
large and rapid increase in its business
in Oklahoma, that factory branch in
this state has become necessity, to prop
erly handle the growing business and to
render the usual high order of REPUB-
Lie Service.
Likewise, the NATIONAL AUTO
SUPPLY CO., of Oklahoma City has
out-grown its former connection as state
distributors for Greyhound Tires n d
Tubes-and for the sake of its business
future, as well as to increase its oppor-
tunity for Service to the community and
the state, has felt it necessary to make
arrangements for line of tires and tubes
SO good-and produced on such large
scale-that the connection cannot be
out-grown.
Nothing is more natural, under the
circumstances, than for the Republic
Rubber corporation and the National
Auto Supply Co. to "join forces," in SO
far as the state of Oklahoma is con-
cerned. Therefore the Republic Rubber
corporation has contracted with the Ma
tional Auto Supply Co., to act as it's Fac
tory Branch for the state of Oklahoma.
This company, acting as a factory
branch for Republic Tires and Tubes,
will carry complete stock here in it's
Oklahoma City warehouses at all times.

mentS viewpoint on representation.
The league, it was understood, is anx.
ious that an American representative
be appointed to act on the commits
sion.
From French sources it was learned
that publication of the councils ten
tat1ye economic program is doubtful
The French, it was said, are bitterly
opposed to the plan advocated by
Premiers Nitti and Lloyd-George for
alienation Of Germany's economic
conditions.
France, it was said, will oppose to
the end any plan for allied sanction of
loan to be floated in neutral nations
for Germany, to he guaranteed by
German revenues. Such a plan, the
French pointed out would necessitate
taking German revenue from control
OF the reparations commissions set
up by the treaty of Versailles. The
lending nations they believed natur-
ally would insist on payment of their
loan be guaranteed through a. COM
mission appointed by themselves,
which, in the belief of the French,
would supplant the reparatioAs COM
mission.
Such action, which the French init
mated, was the plan advocated by the
premiers, would be considered by
Frances destroying the indemnities
clauses of the treaty and as practical
ly neutralizing Frances power to con-
troll reparations.
Before Premier Millerand will con-
sent to the tentative agreement as re-
ported here, he will insist upon many
changes, including a provision of the
power of the PREPARATIONS commission
shall be unimpaired and that it shall
have supervision over any loans that
may be made to Germany, the French
observers asserted.
