i RAILORAO EARNINGS
I According to the reports that the
railroads operating In Oklahoma are
making to the Corporation Comm is-
•Ion, their revenues In Oklahoma are
showing n constant Increase on op-
eration under the two cent passen-
ger fare compared with results of
operation under the three cent rate.
The passenger revenues of the
five leading roads In the state for
the four months ended October 31,
1914, a period of operation under the
two cent faro, shows a gain of more
that $267,000 over the coresponding
period of 1912, which was a period of
four months after re-lnstatenient of
bearing upon the contention pf the
for the period mentioned in 1912,
which was ap erlod of operation un-
der the three cent fare. The same
period for 1913, which was the first
four fonths after re-lnstatement of
of the two cent fare, showed a gain
of about $75,000 over 1912, while 1914
shows a gain over 1913 of about 4193,
000.
These figures are Important in their
bearing puon the contention of the
railways that the two cent fare is
confiscatory. The roads do not show
any relative Increase In operating
expenses under the two cent period
compared with the three cent period,
which means that their revenues, so
far as passenger traffic is concerned,
represent a net gain in operation on
business within the State of Oklaho-
ma.
The figures for the various roads,
for the period mnetloncd In 1912,
1913 and 1914, respectively are:
A. T. and S. F. 1298,664.96; $296,-
091.29; $328,391.45.
C. R. I. and P. $533,274.r,4; $554,-
828.63; $585,066.77.
G. C. and S. F. $ 59,054.57; $ 65,-
588.53 ; 9 74,971.89.
M. K. and T. $361, 346.51; $392.-
552.58; $428,441.72.
St. L. and S. F. $494,787.04; $512.-
107.23; $597,831.44.
Total for five roads:
1912, $1,747,121.62.
193. $1,821,168.26.
1914, $2.04.703.27.
Comparative period for St. L. and
and S. F. ends Sept. 30th each year,
figures for October, 1914, not avail-
able.
These figures bear out the conten-
tion of the Corporation Commission
that the two cent rate is more re-
munerative to the railroads than the
three cent rate, and that the object
of the litigation over the rate by the
railroads, coming up fortriai in March
lies In saving. If possible, all or a pare
of the accumulated fund of $6,000,000
excess fare collected by the roads
while the three cent rate was In ef-
fect.

Every business man knows the evils
of the present system of political ap-
pointment. Men are chosen as post
masters not because of their partic-
ular fitness for the position or their
facilities for rendering service, but
because of party loyalty and activity
in politics.
Merchants have seen post offices
removed from one end of town to the
other in spite of popular protest. In
order to locate the office in a Jjulld-
ing owned by an active supporter of
the party In power. They have seen
individuals not desired by a majority
of the people of the community ap-
pointed to conduct the office.
Former Senator Bourne believes
that postmasters should be selected
regardless of what party may happen
♦o be In control of the national ad-
ministration—that the people of the
country may have a Democratic or
Republican administration, as they
may choose, but that the people of
each community should have a post-
master of their own selection regard-
less of politics.
Post offices are established and
maintained for service, not as polit-
ical rewards, and the people of each
community are the best Judges of the
kind of service they want and the
men most likely to render It. Bourne
argues that If a postmaster must de-
pend upon the voice of the people of
his community for his retention in of
fice rather than upon this effective-
ness in politics or his "puH" with
political leaders, he will give more
time and effort to Improve the char-
acter of service rendered. Moreover,
popular eietion of postmasters and
other Federal officers, will take away
the principal power of the national
political machine which, through that
Instrumentality, is able In so many
instances to dictate local party pol-
itics.
Bourne proposes to strike at the
root of the matter by a constitutional
amendment divesting the President
of his appointing power and relieving
the Senate of Its duty and responsi-
bility of confirming such appointments
and leave the whole problem to the
several communities, which are chief-
ly and directly Interested In the
character of service to be rendered
by their public servants.

by all present. The afternoon was
spent lu a social good time, and as

sented Mrs. Lawsing with a fine rug

and Mrs. Lawsing many more similar

parted at 5 p. in.
STOCK MARKET LETTER
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. IS,
1915. Tile feature in the cattle mar-
ket here last week was the fact that
20,000 cattle, 60 pre cent of the
supply, went Into the hands of Stock-
er and feeder buyers. The bulk of
these cattle went out at prices 15 to
25 cents below Monday . The com-
paratively small number of killing cut
tie remaining sold 10 to 15 lower
first part of the week* but after Wed-
nesday there were signs of returning
strength. Receipts today at all
points are light, and the market is
strong to 15 higher here on killing
cattle, run here 14,000 head. Stockers
and feeders again make up a large
proportion of the run, and sales are
steady on the best, others unevenly
lower. It required powerful influ-
ence to keep cattle back today in
Chicago territory,, where many rend-
ers are almost forced to sell. Much
of the beef produced in the last few
weeks has come from low priced cat-
tle, a class that finds the best out-
let. Choice steers sold here last
week at $9, but high class steers are
