quite so tenderly sentimental as the
poem because there seems moro ~ a
tendency 10 fight than to weep over

An excellent example Ia furnished
by the proposed grouping of the rail
roads running north and west out of
Chicago. The Ripley plan would take
the Great Northern Railroad and the
Northern Pacific Railroad and put
them in enc big system. 1t also would
take the Chicago. Burlington n

thrown in with each merger.
The Great Northern and the North

terstate Commerce Commission and
protested bitterly against this ar
rangement. They declare that they
are eager TO consolidate but they
want 20 consolidate into n system
which also Includes the Chicago. Bur

statements by witnesses and lawyers
and printed briefs they have shown
that tho Great Northern and tho

World war.
There are sections of land in okla

/ am in favor Of giving these soldiers
the wealth produced BY one section Of

bonus bill be again submitted to the
people at u special election which it
Is the power Of the legislature to do by

The state bonus bin advocated by Gov
ernOr Walton during the campaign pro-
yIded $50 a month for ex-servlce men
for each month of service during the
World war Although the bin had the
united opposition Of all interests that
would he taxed, nearly $4,000 more
voted FOR the measure than against IT..
but It lost by approximately 4,500
votes, lacking that number of having
majority of all votes cast in the
election.
The American Legion Of Oklahoma
was neutral, taking no stand for or
against the measure. Governor Walton
recommended resubmlssion of the
same bin with the elimination of the
tax on oil rehneries.
In view Of the large favorable vote
cast, the American Legion took ref
erendum vote OF its membership to see
whether they favored a reasonable
state adjusted compensation measure ="
At a meeting Of the department ex-
ecutive committee the vote was can
yassed and showed a large majority In
