EFFECT OF RATES ON PRICES

Some of the railroads of Okla
homa have put out circular showing
what the increased freight rates which
went into effect August 29th, mean
to the actual consumer in the way
of contributing to the cost Of neces-
sary articles of clothing and stand
ard food products. According to that
statement the additional cost of a
shirt shipped from New York to Ok
lahoma City would be fourteen-hun-
drcdths part of one cent; A pair Of
shoes shipped from Boston Mass, to
Muskogce, Okla, should cost four and
One-tenth cents more since the freight
increase than they did before. The
purchaser of a suit of clothes will
have to cough up three and three
tenths cents more for his suit now
than he did the first of last month.
Packing house products will pay
two and thrce-tcnths cents addition
al freight from Chicago to Tulsa and
sugar will pay two and one-tenth cents
more per pound than they did before
tHt laws "Cut NiiCNe.
These illustrations, which are Of
articles and commodities taken at
Random, may BE- considered as fairly
of the addition to the
transportation cost Of articles used in
the Southwest which will result from
the increase in rates. Similar illus
trations could be made on almost
every article used in the household,
except coal, which, being shipped and
sold by the ton, will show relatively
higher transportation cost in proper
ton to its value.
From the figures given above it
may readily be seen that the actual
increase in cost to the consumer will
be very light, provided that the re-
taller does not see fit to add little
for the wear and tear on his mind
in figuring it all out.

THE CONDITION OF
STREET RAILWAYS

The Commission appointed by
President Wilson more than a year
ago for the purpose of investigating
the electric railways situation of the
country, has returned its report. The
Commission calls conditions by their
proper names, and it says that the
financial credit Of the street railway
industry has been lost, and that in
many localities the railways are not
performing their public function.
This condition is ascribed to the in
creased costs of labor and material,
early over-capitalization and financial
mismanagement, in the past; public
distrust and antagonism, failures of
the fixed five cent fare to meet eX-
i,ting conditions, extentiOns, into un-
profitable territory in furtherance of
real estate speculation, and failure of
employers and employees to properly
cooperate. The report estimates
that from $l75,OOO.OOO to 5000, ,OOO, 900
annually will be required to properly
carry out the future needs af the
industry and it emphatically declares
restoration of public confidence is one
of the vital necessities of restored
credit.
Assuming that the ailments of the
street railway industry have been
very clearly diagnosed, according to
the above summary of conditions that
are generally recognized, it is hard
to understand how these utilities are
going to be able to keep pace with
the growth of their communities and
the country, and raise the hundreds
of billions of dollars that will be
required as the years roll by, unless
they actually regain public confidence,
and get their affairs running along
smooth and easy lines.

GETTING COSMOPOLITAN

Last Saturday afternoon an auto
truck driven by Japanese who was
accompanied by his wife and child
stopped for a few moments at the
corner of Main street and the Katy
right-of-way and while the truck was
standing there the scribe noticed a
couple of negroes pass. There were
several Indians and Caucasians
standing on the walk at the time.
At that time, therefore on that
corner were gathered representatives
sf Europe, Asia, Africa and America
and all seemed to be on friendly terms
and very much at home.

ONE WAY TO BRING
FOOD PRICES DOWN

The restaurants and eating places
of Pittsburg, Penn, went on a peace
time price basis Wednesday, that is q
part of them did, and the rest will do
so by the end of the week, following
energetic action of the United States
district attorney Dennis J. Driscoll
and a score of federal agents. All
prices have been revised downward,
the cuts ranging from fifty to one
thousand per cent.
The federal attorney personally
visited over 100 places and told the
proprietors they must charge only a
fair price or they would 60 to the
penitentiary. Meat order charges
will generally be cut to one half for
mer quotations. Everything from
ham and eggs to pie and "sinkers"
are included in the price reduction.

EMPLOYMENT RULING ON
CHILDREN UNDER FIFTEEN

Boys or girls under Is years of age
may not be employed as telegraph
or telephone messengers, as messen-
gers in drug stores or other parcel
delivery service, in some shining
parlors, barber shops or hotels, ac-
eording to ruling made last week by
Claude Connally, State Labor Com
missioner. This is based OH q recent
opinion to Mr.. Conally from the At
t0rney Generals office in which he
sought to know just how far his
jurisdiction went in such matters.
Special letters were sent by Mr.. Con-
nally to employers in the State who
may be affected by such ruling.
The ruling is made and notice Civ
en- at this time for the purpose of
reminding employers and parents
Of children as well, that school will
begin in few days in all the cities
and towns of the state. 1t is sug-
Eested that children should he in
schools.
1t is also pointed out by MIR. Con-
nally that delivery service of any
kind is particularly hazardous for
children. He called attention to many
accidents reported to his department
where small boys had been hurt.
They were in some delivery service.
Employers to whom these notices
are sent are required to acknowledge
receipt of them, then they must be
responsible after that for any VIOLA
tion of the order.

COX TO VISIT OKLAHOMA

Democrats and other citizens of
Oklahoma, also, will no doubt be
gratified to learn that Governor Cox
has definitely planned to visit Okla
homa on his western trip and make
several speeches in this state. He
will make an address at the state
fair grounds in Oklahoma City, proba-
bly, on October /, and will speak at
Enid and possibly several other
cities and towns enroute here. This
will give the people Of Oklahoma an
excellent opportunity to get a per-
sonal view of the democratic nominee
for president and to hear him discuss
the issues of the campaign. Cover
nor Cox is coming to Oklahoma and
other states because he does not be-
lieve in front-porch campaign, be-
cause he is thoroughly convinced that
the American people have a right to
become more closely acquainted with
men who are running for president.
1t also is we'll known that Governor
Cox derives personal pleasure from
meeting people in all walks of life in
the various states. It seems there
fore that it will please Governor Cox
more to have large crowds of people
hear him and meet him than merely
to deliver long prepared speeches to
committees as Senator Harding, the
Republican candidate, is so frequently
doing. All who can do 80 should at
tend one of the Cox meetings.-Ok-

THE AUTO SLAUGHTER

Automobilists and drivers of mo.
tor-trucks, by reckless driving care
lessness, or unavoidable accidents have
killed 1854 men, women and children
in New York state during the last 3
years. This number about equals the
number of New York men killed in &C
ton during the war, and is more than
twice the number of New Workers who
died Of wounds. In New York City
during the same period 2, 524 persons
were killed by autos. The following

ENTERPRISING PUBLICATION

Frederick can probably claim a
distinctive newspaper feature. 1t is
the capital of Tillman county, where
the total population is only 2,433,
and the city has but 1882 people, yet
it has newspaper taking two full
leased telegraph reports, publishing
three additions daily. Much larger
municipalities within the state have
not even local daily publication,
and it is doubtful if another city with
in continental United States can make
similar showing.

IT'S A JOB FOR THE WOMEN

A very important piece of worl
is to be done in Oklahoma and will moi
be done unless the farm women dc
it.
Among the ballots to he voted al
the election to be held on November
2, 1920, will be on which contains
State Question No. los. Initiative
Petition No. 72.
This question proposes the follow
ing amendment to the state consti.
tuition:
Section ga, Article 10: For the
purpose of maintaining the common
schools of this state, the state board
rf equalization shall each year levy,
on an advalOrcm basis, a tax of not
less than mills and not more than
10 mills upon all taxable property
within this state not exempt from tax-
alton as public, church, charity, or
fratcrnal property.
Until otherwise provided by law.
such taxes when collected shall be
paid into the state treasury to the
credit of the common school fund Of
this state. and shall be apportioned
and distributed to the several counties
Of this state in like time and man.
ner AS is now provided for the appor-
tionment and distribution of other
common school funds of this state.
This means that on the basis Of
ten last assessment and school emu
meration, each school district will re-
ceive from the state $l495 for each
child in addition to the 1924 at pres
ent paid by the state.
That's the only feature of it which
the men seem to think about. They
figure it out and if this amendment
is likely to make them pay more
taxes, they are "agin" it and go to
fighting. If they figure out that it
may make their school tax a little
less, they hope it will pass. but do
nothing.
So it is up to the women to do
most Of the work. They have fuller
realization than the men of what it
means to have poor schools for their
children. If they are fortunate
enough to have good schools for their
own children, they still have an in
terest in all others not so happily |
situated.
The big thing about this measure |
is that it seeks to make the state |
in some degree recognize its funda- !
mental duty to provide for the ele-
mentary education of all children. |
Oklahoma has shamefully neglected
this duty. Under it's condition, many |
hundreds of school districts cannot
legally raise sufficient funds to pay
for a nine months term of school.
And yet we have spent millions on
institutions of higher learning!
Every woman should interest her
self in the adoption of this amend
ment. 1t is the one thing to he voted
on at the next election which will di-
rectly influence the lives and widen
the opportunities of many thousands
Of country children. And it will harm
no one. 1t is question of dollars
or children. Many country districts
have many children and few dollars.
The education of these children should
be recognized as the states business
and those communities which have
relatively more dollars than children
should be forced to help.--Oklaho-
ma Farmer.
