better pay for railway
mail clerks.
The Oklahoman has frequently
raised its voice in behalf of employes
in the postottice department and
would now say a word for the un-
derpaid and illiberally treated rail
way postal clerks who, like all other
Tmployes of govrenment depart-
ments are now forbidden to them-
«!"' «rg. their C. . I.r
compensation and improved condi-
ti0fhese men are not even permitted
to urge that safer cars be provided
for them, when in the present wood-
en mail cars wnerein they are em-
ployed render their vocation extrem.
ly hazardous, as the mail car is gen-
erally smashed to kindling wood
whenever a wreck occurs wT^ O "
ten the strong cars of steel construc-
tion that trail after the mail car
are little uamaged.
Persons v ho are interested n on-
half of these faithful public sav-
ants should follow the excellent
ample of Chief Justice Jesse
of the Okianoma superior court, wh
after reading our Washington coma
ponLnt s sfatement ot the railway
postal clern's case, was inspired 1 to
address all the members of the Ok^
lahoma delegation in congress to sup
port the measure before congress 'or
their reliet. In a letter to th* Ok-
lahoman Justice Dunn says:

the people satisfied first as las .
While everv good citizen admits tha.
paving is a good thing for the town,
and while the great majority of the
citizens are in faivor of paving, t iere
is a very general opposition to going
on with the paving provided for un-
der the blanket resolution recently
passed. Remonstrances have been ,
prepared and are being very general*
signed. In view of this it would ap-
pear the part of wisdom for the city
authorities to take this matter up and
straighten things out. It would be
better to do anything than to have
the whole matter of paving for this
year held up. The city needs the pav-
ing and the people want their streets
improved. Let's get together.

The sale ot a gas lease on fifty
acres of .and near Ramona, belong-
ing to Betsy Sunday, as told In the
Times-Democrat. Is evidence that gas
leases which a year a«o W^nl b®«"
ging, are now valuable. And the In-
dian agent is authority for the state
ment that the gas leases have ac-
quired their saie value since he
state has failed to make stick the
constitutionality of the law PWhlDi-
ting piping gas out ol Ok,aho™®-
Until recently a gas lease could not
; be sold at at all. unl^s close to some
| town where tnere was a demand for
I Kas. Oil men paid no attention to
1 gas on their leases and set no value
1 upon a gas well. In tact they con-
sidered they had lost their money
I when they brought In a gasser n-
1 stead of a gusner. Has meant noth-
! ing to them except a nuisance be-
cause of departmental regulations to
! take care ot the wells.
! Today, trom somewnere, there has
'come a big demand for gas land
evidenced by tne keen competition
among lease buyers. They are now
bidding for gas leases like they usea
to bid for oil leases. Q.liraiiv
[ The quest'on Nvny. naturally
arise*
I Who is it that is in the market for
gas land'.' it is evident from the
records at the mdian agency that
there are hundreds of buyers of gas
1 leases, in the case when $.7 50 was
paid for a gas lease on fifty acres
' of ground there were nearly a dozen
bidders, i nese men do not own gas>
pipe lines, they do not own gas fran-
chises in Oklahoma towns, thev have (
got to drill and consume the gas
on the leases.
Which leads inevitably to the
thought that these ouyers ^
| gas lease brokers. That they are
ouying leases and turning tnem over
' at a profit, to some great interest
| that is endeavor.ng to secure con-
trol of the gas sulpply of the state#
There may oe more than one crown
' trying to accomplish this end, there
! probaMy are, which has made a sud-
den increase in the demand for
I leases. But it all leads to the result.
I If any one company or group o
! interests succeed in getting control
I of the Oklahoma gas lands, Oklaho-
ma gas will become a mighty dear
proposition compared with its pre-
sent selling price.
And it does not make much differ-
ence whether one group, or three
: groups, there now Deing that num-
I ber in the running, get control, the
! result is likely to be a consolidation
! after all and then Oklahoma will
| be lobbed of Its great natura *:«
asset, to the extent that the price
<an be raised by the gas trust And
a gas trust controlling Oklahoma
'gas will be a pretty serious mat-
ter. Of course the object Is to pum,i
the gas to the big cities of sin-
rounding sta'es, but if th. gas pro-
duction is owned by a trust the price
.he price ot natural gas produce.!
in Oklahoma, is likely to be just the
same as the price of natural f"
pumped to St. Louis, nd that w.u
not be present prices, not by a Ion*
