Oklahoma City Ok. Aug. 13. Prob-
ability of settlement of the express
refund and express rate issues In
Oklahoma seems to be recognized
in statehouse circles today. This ex-
press case is almost as old as state-
hood. It is pending uoth in the Fed-
eral court and in the Corporation
commission. The commission has as-
certained that about ?46T000 is due
the state on account of the tariff
maintained by the express companies
in this state despite the commission
rates while the case was on appeal in
the Supreme Court. Supersedeas
bonds were filed by the express com-
panies but these bonds were insuf-
ficient in some instances.
The basis of settlement will be
about $425000 cash to be paid to
the commission for the benefit of
shippers most of which will ultimate-
ly escheat to the state for want of
claimants and the adjustment of rates
on a basis that will be more fair to
the express companies.
Such a settlement has been pro-
posed by the express companies and
lias been under consideration for
some time. That it will be made in
the next few weeks seems to be the
opinion of 'members of the commis-
sion and other state officials who
are in touch with the situation.
A settlement would have been
made several months ago but for the
refusal of Chairman J. E. Love of
the commission to enter into any con-
sideration of an increase In rates
pending settlement iu full of the
claim for overcharges. Colonel Love
took the arbitrary position that the
cases were separate and must not be
mingled. He said the refunds must
be paid and then the commission
would consider making a new rate.
The express companies did not see
any advantage to their position in
paying the refund claimed while the
Issue is pending in the Federal court
as to the liability of the companies
to make such refund unless the pay-
ment thereof should lead to a modi-
fication of the admittedly too rigid
depression of rates by the commis-
sion. The situation a few weeks ago as-
sumed a phase that promised longer
delay and trial in the Federal court.
That conferences have about changed
this position to one where there
seems likely to be a compromise that
will profit the state give the express
companies justice in inatter of rates
and settle amicably a controversy
that is hoary with age and covered
with the dust of courts' delays i3 the
present understanding in this city.
COTTON FUTURES ACT.
Measure Reenacted With Few Changes
as Part Annual Appropriation Act.
Washington I). C Aug. 14. The
annual appropriation bill for the De-
partment of Agriculture just passed
by congress contains a rernactment
effective September 1 1916 of the
L'nitod States cotton futures act with
a few changes. Section 11 of the
present law which taxes orders sent
abroad for the making of future con-
tracts on foreign cotton exchanges
unless certain conditions were com-
plied with will be omitted.
A new section known as 6a is in-
serted in the bill which provides an
optional contract under which parties
may by agreement w ithout being sub-
ject to tax contract that under ccr-
taiu specified conditions the buyer
may demand delivery of the basis
grade named in the contract.
Another modification which will be
of interest to the trade is the au-
thority conferred on the Secretary of
Agriculture iu case of disputes to in-
clude in bis findings even though
only one question be referred a com-
plete classification of th cotton for
the purpose of delivery on future con-
tracts under the old law the au-
thority of the secretary was confin-
ed to a determination of the speci-
fic question of grade quality or
length of staple referred to him by
the parties. In other words if the
dispute involved grade only and cot-
ton was found to be gin cut which is
a question of quality the secretary
had no authority to Include a state-
ment as to gin cut in Ms findings.
Government officials in charge of
the matter call especial attention to
the facts that the new act will not
become effective until September 1
1916 and that the old act of August
IS 1914 will ivmain tn full force un-
til the beginning of next month.
The rules and regulations of both
the treasury and the agricultural de-
partments with slight modifications
and additions necessitated by the .
changes made in the law will be r-j
issued shortly after approval of the .
bill by the president so that there
will be no disturbance whatsoever
to the trade. The official cotton '
s'andard of the United States here-
tofore established will be readopteJ
and promptly promulgated so as to

operative.

These assertions were investigated
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and a number of tests have
shown that the Stoner wheat is not
so good as some of the wheats now
grown in the eastern half of the Uni-
ted States but is somewhat better
than others. On the whole it Is of
average value in comparative tests

other varieties and many other var-

Washington Aug. 12. The Federal

ground that if the price fixing were
