"MOLNE.S AND mNENNs.n

when Governor Robertson entered the house
Monday Just after tho Legislature had convened
in extraordinary session. he found tho rcpub-
lican majority wearing ribbons on their lapcls
inscribed with the strange words wolves and
hyonas but not conyicts" thus giorifying tho
Characterization the governor had foolishly and
intemporatey bestowed thcm at the time
of his notorious ponitontlary speech.
We like very much that little by-play. Be
cause when the republican members snatched
up the governors impudent challenge and de-
ccrated their apels with his vulgar phrase. they
said to him and the state at large In language
much palmer and more emphatic than mere
words, that his plans for whccdling what he
could not command were hopeless indeed.
Clearly, we think, It means that the house
Is going to stand squarcly for the interests Of
the state and defy tho satehouse oligarchy to
do It's worst. And behind those ribbons on tho
apels OF tho house members every decent citl-
zen OF the state. republican and democrat.
should rally. Let the national political arena
produce what 1t may 1t all means little to Okla
homa. Here. within the confines Of this state.
in our own household, there is work for all and
honors for all. Hero no man can be master and
none dare to exercise tho functions OF boss.
Here tho republicans OF the state face not only
opportunity but solemn duty. For a wonderful
people looks to them to redeem the entire state
government next year from the blghtng de-
vastating hand OF machine that In unfit to

stand by the house. Let the ribbon -wearcrs
understand that they have the support OF the
people In general and those who call them
selves republicans in particular, 50 that they
may be given to understand that they are not
expected to do this special session the
constructive things they would like to do. Their
commission calls for blocking the machine and
holding the fort for the people. In the next
election, II they do this fairly and deoently they
viii be given sufficient authority to put into ct-
feet their constructive program.

A GENUINE RULE or REASON.

A recent decision OF the supreme court 10
tho effect that public utilities should not be
compelled TO render service at confiscatory
rates has been seized on by the utility interests
a excuse TO issue propaganda seeking an in
crease In the earning accorded them. one
writer suggests that the rate be Increased from
per cent TO 10 per cent.
The decision OF the highest court was in line
with the rule OF reason cnuuciated by that
tribunal some time ago Nor can there be the
slightest complaint against II " the rulo he ap-
piled to both sides OF the matter and in good
faith. OF course a utility concern ought not to
he required to render service ut confiscatcry
rate. Nor could it he under any circums ances,
so that is disposed OF.
But It Is folly to contend that anything in the
nature OF justice equity will follow II tho
courts other governmental agencies merely
adopt the rule OF granting utility certain
earning power and fail 20 exercise the slightest
supervision over investments and operating
costs
Nobody will offer objection to a utility being
permitted to earn oven 10 per cent on it's in
vcstment II the investment represented is neces-
sary to the conduct Of the business and n tho
operating costs of the concern are also within
the rule Of reason. Rut II the investments arc
outrascously unnecessary, as IL the case in nine
cases out Of ten and II the operating costs are
repugnant to every sense Of proprcty, then to
allow net earning Of 10 per cent is to force
the people to pay dividends and give value to
swollen fortunes and indefcnsibIo salaries
Why should the people be forced to submit TO
an increased charge for the service OF a public
utility when vast portions Of the stock do not
represent bona fide investment and when a vast
portion OF the operating costs are represented
in salaries OF gentlemen who have precisely
nothing to do with the conduct Of the business
That is not only question but it is the oues-
tion on which the entire rule OF reason rests
A real rule OF reason would require that anv
utility seeking an increased earning mower
should first file with the tribunal before whom
II pleads an itemized statement OF its actual
bona fide investments, it's complete salary ust
and other details OF its business And before
such tribunal decided to pass the burden on to

ter, reckless | knew he did not
like Mr.. Blake. that ne was jealous
of him. They had been hired by
Calding at about the same time, and
while Robert had been reprimandcd
because of his failure to sell goods.
Blake mad more than once won
praise from his employers.
'They won't fire you--at least, 7
don't believe they will" I spok .
with more certainty than felt. I
had begun to lose faith in Robert =
business ability before he went with
Calding. and their refusal to give
him his promised raise. their remark
that "he had not earned it," had in
creased the feeling that Robert was
someway lacking in business sense.
This did not make me love him
less. II only made me feel glad that
was capable OF earning a good
salary.
The next morning before left for
the shop the telephone rang, and
Robert answered:

patient, almost angry. Don't CON

at all sure I shall not take another

was coming.

That where the feet OF children run the grass

And should have to stretch a wire about

In time, beyond the slightest doubt, the ten

But oh 7 want the children near, and 10 I

when they are romping round the home,
Go somewhere else to play"
And though my lawn seems poorly kept, and
