WHY NOTV
What reason is there why Oklaho-
ma should not have a law retfulatinir
railroads? There is no state in the
Union but what has found it neces-
sary to equalize and regulate rates,
either through the medium of rail-
road commissions or otherwise, and
yet Oklahoma, with all her boasted
progressiveness, witli all her clamor-
ing for the privilege of self-govern-
ment, has in her statute books not a
line protecting her citizens against
the aggressions of railroad corpora-
tions.
When it costs more to transport
freight from the Missouri river to
points in this territory than it does
for shipping the same commodity
from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Missouri river, something is wrong.
When the rates on grain are greater
from points in Oklahoma to tlie Kan-
sas state line than they are from that
line to Chicago, live times as far,
something needs fixing.
When the freight on coal from the
Indian Territory fields to points in
Oklahoma exceeds the amount charg-
ed for transportating the same coal
three times the distance in other di-
rections, where railroad commissions
exist, it is time for people of Oklaho-
ma to demand that the legislature
give them some relief.—Farmers
Magaz ine._*__
One of our exchanges stops to re-
mark that “whenever you get the
idea that you are absolutely necessary
to the welfare and general prosperity
of a community, just absent yourself
for a few months and see how well
things move along without you.”
Judge Parker accused President
Roosevelt in the campaign of working
in coalition with the trusts, and
Roosevelt denied it, and gave the peo-
ple to understand that he was against
the trusts. He had the opportunity
for three and one-half years to prove
his position, which is as mucli in the
dark today as ever before, and now lie
will have four more years in which
to show the American people that he
believes the great trusts of the coun-
try are a menace to the good of the
country in general, and that he is
ready to do what he can to overthrow
them. The Journal’s prediction is
that the trusts will have a greater
hold on the common people in four
years from now than they have at the
present time. Hope we are mistaken,
but we’re “from—from Texas’’ and
have to be shown.
Scarcely a week passes that we do
not hear of the launching of a new
battleship, with its huge guns, de-
structive machinery of all kinds, ac-
commodations for hundreds of ^men
and officers, and costing several mil-
lions of dollars. The object and only
object of a battleship is to destroy, to
kill, to menace other nations. We
would like to hear occasionally, by
way of contrast, of the launching of
some great merchant ^steamer, to car-
ry to distant lands the surplus crops
raised by our busy and industrious
farmers. It is pleasanter to read
about holds adapted to carry thous-
ands of cattle, millions of bushels of
grain and all the other products of
this teeming land of ours. Let’s
have a surcease of battleships for
awhile and something more of the
agencies of peace and civilization.
Hill City Reveille.
—The Medford Patriot last week
announced that just as it was ready
to go to press on Thursday, it had the
misfortune to “pi” one of its forms.
The place made suddenly vacant was
filled with “plates” and other matter
and the paper was received at this of-
fice on time, though not as newsy as
usual. If Bro. Palmer will use the
electric weld chase and exercise rea-
sonable care he will never again meet
with a mishap like this one. The
chase we mention is very expensive,
but we find them safest, cheapest and
run.
