The railroad rate law is now in i
effect. It requires that that the (
various railway companies shall
issue no more passes except \q \
regular employees This stops ,
free traveling for an immense
number of people, mostly news- ,
paper men and politicians. The J
law also places the making of
rates, both passenger and freight 1
in the hands of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. *

In the opinion of a contemporary
when a cotton picker has
been perfected, the fleecy product
will be harvested by the acre
and the great undeveloped lands
of Oklahoma, Indian Territory
and Texas will easily produce
twenty million bales. It says
that it means ginneries in easy
rea;h of machines in the fields
with quick delivery much as the
great grain fields of the west and
that when it comes, the small
farmer will have to farm more intensely
or plant something else
tor profit.
