Iieen mnidi in evidence in the good
roads movement and develop-
ment of the last few years, and the
proposal to join together these two
commonwealths with a substantial
highway is logical and timely
Its inception has been sinmltan-
ious in the two states, and the plan
is taking definite form. Already
considerable correspondence has
passed between various commercial
organizations in Oklahoma and the
Colorado Springs ('handier of Com-
merce, which has taken the initiat-
ive insofar as Colorado is concern-
ed.
Plans are now being considered
for an automobile trip from Colo-
rado Springs to Oklahoma probably
in May of this year. This lias not
been definitely decided but the
Colorado Springs Chamber of Com-
I meree is collecting road data to en-
able it to get a clear idea of the
most feasible roads and to decide
whether such a tour is feasible.
The route will not be determined
| upon until road data has been re-
ceived from various communities
Monday night the District Court
room was packed to suffocation by
citizens of Norman to hear the In-
terurban proposition discussed.
.1 udge Shartel of the Interurban
company was present and repre-
sented the company. Judge Eagle-
ton made the report of the Com-
mittee of the Chamber of Com-
merce, which was sent to Oklahoma
City to take up the matter with the
Interurban company and Chamber
of Commerce of Oklahoma City.
Dr. Brooks of the university
made a short address on benefit
Interurban would be to the univer-
sity. Judge Shartel assured the
citizens that the company was more
than anxious to extend the line
into Norman but had been unable
to do so for lack of finance.
Recently they had taken the mat-
ter up with their bankers in the
east and after much persuasion had
succeeded in getting them to furnish
some money to make this extension
of the line, but they were unable
to get enough to fully construct BlVTOl lluul
line and were forced to call upon ju oklahonu
the citizens of Norman and the
('handier of < 'ommcrce of Oklahoma
City to lend the company some fi-
nancial assistance and the help from
the citizens of Norman the com-
pany asked for was as follows:
To procure the right of way for
the line from Moore twp. to Norman,
three lots on Main street for depot
and 4 lots within the city for a
switch and freight depot and a
franchise over the streets for car
line. No particular lots were des-
ignated.
By a unanimous vote the citi-
zens present expressed themselves
ready to co-operate with the com-
pany and do all they possibly could
lo comply with the request of the
company and will hasten to as-
certain and see about securing right
of way through the country from
Moore township to Norman.
Within the corporate limits of
the city the franchise and lots re-
quired by company will not be dif-
ficult to secure, but how the farm-
ers will view the line and what
right of way to city limits will cost
is not not known; but the citizens
of Norman feel that the line will
lie of much benefit to the farms
and will enhance the value of the
same much more than any incon-
venience or damage the line may
do by reason of its running through
farms that the right of way
for the most part if not for the
whole distance can be procured
without much cash.
It the farmers will co-operate as
expected the company will soon be
informed that what it has asked of
Norman will be forthcoming.
The expense of securing the lots
in the city and the franchise will
not be so great that same cannot
be raised by the citizens by a cash
subscription.
Some of the people in Normam
fear the effects upon business that
the building of the line into this
city may have and have never been
very enthusiastic about the build-
ing ill ilie line. While the immed- > weilds a

The above is certainly a splendid
corps of teachers tor the high school
and we can expect a most success-
ful school year, as all are experienc-

of satisfaction.

I remain any doubt, then, $s to over-
capitalization's being one reason, a
sister reason to high tariff", for the
ever increasing cost of living?
Watered stock is not only one of
the prime causes for increased pric-
es of commodities, but it is also an
important cause of the present un-
satisfactory condition of labor. To
pay these dividends on watered
stock, the trust magnates must
either hold down wages abnormally
low. or raise prices artifieally high.
The fact is they are doing both.
Over-capitalization, therefore, is
obviously one of the most import-
ant problems confronting the
American people today. Politicians
for some reason, refer to it less
than they should. The subject
ought to be one of the foremost po-
litical issues.
Five hundred glaring illustrations
of the crime of over-capitalization
coujd be cited. They would aver-

Ninth Interscholaatic Meet to
Ecli|>sc All
All indications show that the Oth
annual high school athletic meet
which is to fie held on the univer-
sity campus on Aprill ■ and lib
will be the most successful ever
held in t he liiston of the Oklahoma
Interscholasf ic Truck and Field
Meet. .Since its inauguration nine
years ago the athletic carnival has
been growiiiK in popularity Ironi
year to year until il lias now reached
such proportions that the number
• of entries run into the hundreds
and the visitors are estimated by
the thousand- The State Univer-
sity holds the meet for the enter-
tainment of the scholastics and
does all il can for their pleasure
and enjoyment on those two days.
The committee- having the meet
in charge stated their arrangements
early,and iu such gigantic propor-
tions that it cannot fail to be an
unqualified success.
Hess for member of the school
board from.ird. ward was defeated
by his republican opponent M r.
Charles Standlcy .
The republicans did not put a
full ticket in the field, choosing
rather to center their energies in
an effort to elect Mayor, City At-
torney and Treasurer ot the school
hoard. For these three offices
they selected three of l-lie very best
| men in the city and men who never
I tasted defeat before, two of .them
serving the city in an official ca-
pacity at the present time.

ocratic candidates to be defeated
by popularity" It was a hard
fought battle but one without bit-
terness and the arousing of hard
feelings and no unseemly jubilation
on the part of any one. It was a
clean contest and democratic can-
didates won simply because of the
numerical strength ol their party
in the oity and possessed equal
qualifications with their republican
opponents. Mr. Levy s defeat was
perhaps due very largely to the
fact that he is a member of the
,present city administration and it
seems the voters in tho city as well
as in the wards had fully made up
their minds to retire every man in
any way connected with the pres-
ent management of city affairs that
they could in this election. Mr.
Levy was one to escape slaughter
in the primary and the only one,
and in the election did not even re-

him in the primary. Mr. Levy was
