Defeats of Former Bills,
Tfcerr is no question ^ut that the
strenuous opposition of the corpora-
te® commission in 1910 defeated the
Initiated bill, and the work against
such a constitutional amendment of
Col. Jack Love, chairman of the cor-
poration commission, at that time
also bore fruit in the subsequent
elections. There is considerable)
difference, however, between those
proposed changes, and the Rexroat
: proposed amendment, and there has
1 been considerable change also in
I the views upon the subject.
The fact that the corporation com-
mission is supposed to have given
its approval to the form of the Kex-
n.it resolution was, in fact, tho
chief reason for substituting hin
ntfObure for that of Senator Rod-
die. And at least one member of
iho corporation commission openly
i n lori es the present plan.
Case of O' I.therm Central.
The necessity for such a change
In the constitution is said to i..
best illustrated by the case of the
Oklahoma Central, Dorset Carter:
railroad, which railroad expero
generally admit wduld be n profit-
able and prosperous branch of a
general system, but which operated
as an indepndent line has had a
time so hard that no newspaper
reader in Oklahoma is unfamiliar
with it It is pointed out, that ii
is a practical impossibility to op-
erate a short independent line with
profit to tho builders, and that th-?
only hope of the domestic railroad
builder is to sell to. some of the
large interstate systems, and that
if theer is no market, there is n
incentive whatever, and nothing but
the possibility of bunkruptcy in con-
structing short lines of railroad in
Oklahoma.
The Rexroat resolution does not
give the domestic lines unlimited
powers in selling or leasing to the
big systems, but puts the matter of
such sale or consolidation in the
discretion of the corporation com-
mission. The proposed amendment,
in full, is as follows:
Section 9—Upon tlio consent of
the corporation commission in writ-
ing, first had an dobtained, any for-
eign or domestic railroad, transpor-
tation, or transmission company or
corporation, may lease, sell or oth-
erwise dispose of its property and
franchises to, or may lease, buy, cr
otherwise acquire, and operate, the
property and franchises of any like
companv or corporation.

This demure little turban Is pro-
nounced just the thing for Easter
wear. The crown Is covered with
polsles in that lovely shade of
cerise pink that Paris favors. The
crown Is small arid rests close to
the head. The ribbon fancy Is the
color of the flowers, quite tall and
slender. In the favorite manner of
the up-to-date hat It slants to the
back, although It would be equally
fashionable If it weer In front, or
at either side—the main thing in its
tallness and slenderness and the
dash it gives to the hat.

CHUCK SEEKS REPORTS.
Oklahoma City, March 11.—Gov-

message to the legislature inform-
ing that body that he had not been
supplied with a copy of the testi-
mony, nor a copy of any committee
report, with one exception, of the
investigations that have been made.
It is suggested by the governor that

be impossible for him to proceed
intelligently or fairly If there Is
anything for him to do in the prem-
ises.
The one exception tf that relative
to the efficiency committee Investi-
gating the school land department.

ing to the message, nor has any of
