OKEAT SAVING BY THE
GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GENRAL
The State Capital has kept the people posted upon
tie freight conditions in Oklahoma throughout the
limitation covering months of time, and it is pleased
to note the outcome of the controversy which, is a
mutual understanding between Governor Kraut/.
Attorney General Cromwell and the railways, where
b.v the people of Oklahoma have been benefited many
thousand of dollars, and no violence has been done
any industrial interest.
It will he remembered that lifter n partial investi-
Ipition of railway rates, Governor Kraut/ instructed
Attorney General Cromwell to institute proceedings
• gainst several railways apd to prosecute them to a
tuccssful termination for all violations of the luw.
By direction of Governor Prantz, additional coun-
sel was also employed by the attorney general in the
person of Mr. Charles West, and suits were brought
in three classes of cases. Kirst, to enjoin companies
from charging and enforcing arbitrary rates; second
to enjoin companies limited by charter to the Kansas
local distance rates from charging ami collecting a
rate greater than tluit authorized by the lows of
Kansas; the third class of suits were suits of mjune
lion filed a^iinst the railroads built westward, out
of the state of Arkansas, seeking to enjoin them
from charging and collecting on coal in excess of the
rate authorized by the laws of Arkansas.
Complaints were filed before the interstate com-
merce commission against all the railroads operating
in Oklahoma, praying for a just and equitable ex-
pert rate 011 grain.
These proceedings brought the desired result im-
mediately and the legal representatives of the roads
asked for a conference of those concerned, nt Kansas
City, at which meeting the following were present
Governor Frank Prantz, Attorney (leneral W. 0.
Cromwell, for Oklahoma. The railways being repre

And, watching, shepherds here did yawn,
Drowuil.v waiting for the dawn.
Kiieh longing for the promised day

Whose glories scrnph choirs did sing;
Its radiance lighted all the Kast.
From whence the wise came to its feast.
Prom far they came, led of that light.
Which melted all the shades of night
And banished every anxious fonr,
Enthroning winsoinencss and cheer.
The watchmen, shepherds of the flock.

From voices, strange to human ear,

How great the dangers TTc did brave—
To ransom every helpless slave
Who, bound by habit's calling chain.
Were doomed to endless grief and pain!

Who died that we might heaven gain!

His life has brought to us the truth;
His death has brought eternal youth.
Then. l *t the Holy anthem rise
To Him who dwclleth in the skies;
Let all the ransomed shout and sing:

There are profitable lessons to he learned h\ the
outcome of this transaction, among which is the fact,
that after all. the interests of corporations and the
people are mutual and that, as time passes, this fact
is becoming more and more recognized.
It also demonstrates again, the fact thai the repub-

tect the interests of the people in every emergency
and to do it in a practical, conservative and just
manner.
This whole transaction reflects credit upon all con
