Meeker Herald.
What reason is there why Ok-
lahoma should not have a law re-
gulating railroads? There is no
state in the Union but what has
found it necessary to equalize and
regulate rates, either through
the medium of railroad commis-
sioners or otherwise, and yet
Oklahoma, with all her boasted
progressiveness, with all her
clamoring for the privilege of
selfgovernment, has in her sta-
tute books not a line protecting
her citizens against the aggres-
sions of railroad corporations.
When it costs more to trans-
port freight from the Missouri
river to points in this territory
than it does for shipping the same
commodity from the Atlantic sea-
board to the Missouri river, some-
thing is wrong.
When the rates on grain from
points in Oklahoma are greater
to the Kansas state line than
they are from that line to Chi-
cago, five times as far, something
needs fixing.
When the freight on cral from
The Indian Territory fields to
points in Oklahoma exceeds the
amount charged for transporting
the same coal three times the
distance in other directions where
railroad commissions exist, it is
time for the people of Oklahoma
to demand that the Legislature
give them some relief.
Politicians have, during the
campaign, complained of a lack
of enthusiasm; yet the leaders of
both of the great political parties
knew that they could have in-
advocated railroad legislation. In-
stead of doing this the Republi-
can platform was discreetly silent
on the railroad question, while
the Democrats had enough cour-
age to insert a plank declaring
against the practice of giving
passes to public officials. This
declaration , however, lost much
of its force when it was consider-
ed that most of the candidates of
the party, whether they be run-
ning for congress or the ligisla-
ture, travel on passes.
Talking about strawberries,
what do you rhink of specimens
six inches in circumference?
Such, however, are a part of
the horticultural display of Colo-
rado at the World’s Fair,
thsse berries are recommended
as possessing lasting qualities in
keeping with their size. It is
evident that the Centennial state
can produce something besides
minerals and mineps’ riots.
