Battle Royal Within Borders of
Lone Star State.
How Taxaa Invite* the Railroad! With
One Hand and Clubs Them With
Hostile Legialation With
tha Other.
Texaa stands out In contemporary
dTii and Industrial history as a house
ilvlded A battle royal is being waged
arithin its boundaries. The warring
(actors are the Imperative need of
more railroads and the persistent
baiting tactics of legislative origin
which hamper railroad exteusion on
every band.
Mere apathetic indifference of a
community toward industrial advance-
ment can be readily overcome by the
enthusiasm and push of captains of In-
dustry But add to this indifference a
?onsftit«nt program of legislative har
assment, and the menace to the lndua-
Iries will become very serious. In
Texas, we behold the spectacle of hun-
dreds of towns far remote from any
railroad line, of their citizens clamor-
ing for railroad extension, but of per-
ilstent legislative moves that check
mate the fulfilment of the very need
which Is everywhere so strongly ap-
parent
There are struggling towns In
Texas that are over 100 miles from the
nearest railroad Little wonder that
commodities hauled overland by wag-
on to these remote little towns, are
forced up to frightful prices before
they reach the consumer. There Is
but one answer to the high cost of
living In Texas. Encourage the ox-
tension of railways
Pecos county. Texaa, Is over 100
miles in length and 75 miles in width.
In all this big territory there is no
railway except for the Southern Paci-
fic, which barely touches Its extreme
southeastern corner There is a vaat
atretch of territory, the width of six
counties, about 200 miles across, which
Is not traversed by a single railway
Between the Texas Pacific and the
Pecos Valley railroads, which bound
this stretch of lonely territory, there
are scores of struggling towns and a
great many counties lying miles and
miles by w #gon-jouniey, from the
nearest railroad
For the first time in half a century,
railroad construction Is practically at
a standstill in Texas Yet the great
state is suffering for 10.000 miles
more of railroad. Crop reports indi-
cate that there will be a;i unusually
heavy tonnage this year, but the ex
Isting railroads are known to be short
of facilities to move abnormal traffic,
and they are not financially able to
purchase the necessary equipment.
With the cities crying aloud for bread
the country over, it Is an Ironical cir-
cumstance that where raw products
are the most plentiful, facilities are
woefully lacking to move them whith-
er they are needed the most.
The Texas Railroad Commission,
which has hitherto confined Its efforts
lifrgely to the regulation of ratee and
service, and which ts to a consider-
able extent accused of the railroad
conditions In Texas, is now confronted
by responsibilities of large and grave
scope. It will require skilful and con-
structive work of a high order on the
part of the commission to correct the
errors of past policies, to provide ade-
quate service, and to properly encour-
age new railway projects
The gravity of the situation has led
to the work of the Texas Welfare
Commission, which at present Is be-
ing directed Into constructive trans-
portation channels. This commission
met on April 30th, to listen to a dis-
cussion of the railroad problem by
Frank Trumbull, chairman of the
board, of the Missouri Kansas and
Texas Railway Co. He declared that
Texas railroads were not prospering,
and that they could not secure money
to construct new lines or to better the
present service, unless they could pay
a dividend on the money already In-
vested in railroad properties
As a remedy, he suggested the
granting of permission to Issue bonds
for Improvement purposes, and a law
permitting consolidation of end-to-end
and lateral railroads, and equal taxa-
tion.
On May 15 the commission met
again In Dallas, where R S Lovett,
head of the Southern Pacific proper
ties, expressed his views on what was
the.matter with Texas
The addresses of these gentlemen
created great enthusiasm throughout
the state, and Mr. Trumbull's speech
at Houston l« regarded as embodying
a practical and fair solution of the ag
gravatlng situation
The city of Pecos has t*w n offering
large bonuses for railroad construc-
tion but the thinness of population
and the heavy grades make It difficult
to stimulate construction Favorable
legislation Is regarded as the only
measure which will remove the pres-
ent obstacles to railway extension,
and It Is to this end that the people
must direct their attention The mem-
bers nf the Texas Railroad Commis-
sion are gradually becoming convinced
that the present tariff on Interstate
business Is working a hardship on
Texas railroads. In thle connection.
Mr Trumbull has made n proposition
tbat the commission make a careful
and eibaustlve examination of the
books of the ,,Katy " with a view to
determine the fairness of the division
In rates on through business between
the "Katy" of Teias and the "Katy"
of Kansas
It Is also reported that Mr Trum-
bull baa suggested an amendment to
tbe existing stoek aM bond law that
wtn permit the Railroad Commission
co authorize railroad companies to la-
me securities equal to the value of
Lbelr propertlea. This change. If of-
footed. It Is declared, would provide a
?reat atlmulus to extenslou work. L<et
It be added. In this connection, that
tbe Railroad Commission values all
railroad properties in the state *t
1210,000.000, the Tax Commission at
M 10.000.000. and the railroads value
their properties at $550,000,000.
Gradually, the railroads of the state
are welding themselves Into a com-
pact fighting unit for a complete over-
throw of the present system of freight
rates, on the grounds that It does not
admit of an adequate return on their
Investment. One of the moves on the
part of the state, which led to this
tendency on the part of the railroads,
was the five-cent reduction In cotton
rates against the atrenuous protests
of the carriers.
The argument that the public should
be relieved of the higher freight rat#s
Is not pertinent In this case For,
though a bit of local relief Is thus
granted to certain shippers, and In
turn to the consumers, the whole pub-
lic Is thereby compelled to suffer the
®normous cost of total lack of railroad
extension The logical view to take
of the situation Is simply this—that
ALT. must bear part of the burden un-
til such a time as the railroads are
able to proceed with the necessary «x
tension work, for this is the Impera-
tive need, and Ita unfulflllment Is
blighting the biggest and one of the
richest states In the Union. The slight
advance In ratea which Mr Trumbull
and other railroad heads urge would
bring the finances of Texas railroads
up to the level of those of other states,
and would permit the necessary exten-
sion of credit and Improvement In
service
F A Vanderilp. president of the
National City bank of New York, ad
dressed a letter to the Texas Welfare
Commission. In which be said: "Texas
roads, as a whole, are not profitable
today. Such Being the case, It Is ob-
vious that railway extension will not
be carried on very rapidly unless some
more means are taken to make them
profitable Texas, a magnificent, fer-
j tile state, with Its pent-up resources
J and energy crying for outlets, should
be fully cognizant of the tremendous
Importance of railway development.
I Intra-state business Is rapidly lncreas-
' lng, but not to the extent that natural
laws would seem to warrant The
' laws of men must foster, not hamper
I railway business, must permit logical
and scientific financing, and must
j make development attractive and pro-
j tection ample."
| In Texas today there is but one track
| mile of railroad for each 19 square
| miles of territory, wheras in Illinois
i today there is one track mile for e;ich
I 4.6 square miles of territory That Is
| to say that before Texa* can increase
j her development to a point commen-
surate with that of Illinois, she must
Increase her railroad mileage four
I times, an Increase of the present mile
i age of 41,3">7 miles
When one reflects that Investment
of new capital In Texas, according to
i statistics, earns 17 per cent In manu-
factures 9 per cent In agriculture,
] and from 10 to 30 per cent In bank-
lng. It Is little wonder that railroad
! Investments netting 3. 4. or even 5
i per cent., do not entice new capital
| Into their channel-
One of the Inexcusable defects In the
I present Texas laws Is that which lim-
its the sale of railroad sec urities on
! the one hand, and raises the assessed
valuation for taxation purposes far
above that figure on the other hand.
At the close of the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1909. the last date for which
the figures are available, the valua-
tion of Texas railroads was placed at
$14,540 per mile, and on this basis
the ronds were compelled to Issue
their securities. For the same year,
the state tax board assessed the value
of the same properties at the rate of
$25,425 per mile, on which basis the
railroads were compelled to pay taxes
The shocking discrepancy of these
figures Is further aggravatpd by the
fact that It Is well known that neither
of the figures are even approximately
correct In Justice to the railroads to
the entire state and an its people,
these errors of governing bodies
should be corrected Thes*. blunders
are based upon the groundless as
sumption that capital Is crooked and
the enemy of the people rather than
upon a painstaking study of what rail-
road capital In Texas Is trying to ae-
compllsh
It Is true that In the lawless days
of railroad piracy there sprang Into
life an attitude of keen hostility be-
tween railroad heads and the public
But this was true only In Isolated
cases In railroading, as In any other
commercial activity the fundamental
object of operation Is that of service
to the people And for the official rep-
resentatives of the people of any state
to hurl from their legislative and exe
cutlve fortresses bombs and destruc-
tive shrapnel at railroad activity which
Is earnestly trying to give to the peo-
ple what they inoat need. Is foolhardl
ness incarnate
Legislative- activity must be based
on steadfast considerations of the
rommon weal
The lesson of legislative opposition
to the ultimate welfare of the Mate
which is to forcibly displayed In Texas
ttylay. will not have been enacted In
vain if other stutes, which stand at
the parting of the ways, will be guld
eded by It. and If thev will base their
legislative activity in connection with
the railroads ujton common sense and
the desire to work out the good of all
There Is no state In the country
which la not In dsnger of similarly
overstepping itself And In this re-
spect the lesson of Texaa la lmi>ort-
ant All that the railroad* aak la an
"•van break " Tbey hare hwen g tlty
of offenses of serious character in the
past. Some of them are being pun-
ished for Illegal rebating even today.
But to militate against them all. ev
erywhere. because some of them are
still guilty of offenses, is Illogical and
wrong
The tendency of railroad baiting, so-
called. Is simply a duplication of the
attitude of society toward the person
who has offended and been punished
by Imprisonment or otherwise Every
senteuce is a life sentence The ex
convict, like Victor Hugo's .lean Val-
Jean. la subjected for the rest of his
days on earth to the suspicion and hos-
tility of society. This Is a tendency
which must be overcome After so-
ciety has exacted the punishment pro-
vided by its laws, the past offender
Should be accepted on the basis of
what he is worth. He should be en-
couraged to put forth his efforts unmo-
tssted. and his past should be burled
and forgotten
8o It Is with tbe railroads, an Insti-
tution which Is still made everywhere
to suffer because of Its offenses In the
past The railroads, headed by men
of large Intelligence, have learned
their lesson. They should no longer
be eyed with suspicion. If tbey are,
their service to us will be Impaired,
and we will be the sufferers
AN APPEAL TO MOTHERS
WHEN man cam# lr.ro the world,
being unlike all other things,
his Intelligence gave him pow-
er over all things around him,
and he appropriated all things, great
and small.
Now, we have, since the beginning of
time, all other selvea to consider and
consider well. The most direct re-
sponsibility that we must face Is that
of the proper training of our chil-
dren How can we hope to have our
young grow up to be strong and brave,
and have a knowledge of all these
questions of self and what we owe
others, unless we teach them?
Do you, who are mothers, realize
your responsibilities? You are re-
sponsible for every breath drawn by
your child. You are responsible for
the formation of his traits, habits,
characteristics and attitude toward
life How can you In Justice to your
child shirk your responsibility to it?
You are the life-giving force, as It
were, and your child looks to you for
everything that is pure and noble, and
with you, and you alone, rests the fu-
ture of your child.
The noblest and greatest work a
woman can do is in her own home. Out
of that home steps our future citi-
zens, whos conduct will be determined
by the training and influence received
during formative years, and for wham
some day his mother will be weighed
In the scales of time. And mothers,
let me ask you, when that time comes,
will you be found wanting1'
How many a mother's heart is torn
with anguish because of the misdeeds
of her children, and wonders what she
has done to deserve such a punish-
ment ? But If Bhe would pause and re-
flect. she would face the knowledge
that she. and she alone is to blame
for their misdeeds Inasmuch as she
failed to realize the responsibility she
owes to her children
It behooves us to guMe and protect
the child as far as our ability enables
us to do so, and there is no end to
the development of ability. Ability
is the end which we ourselves may de-
termine
It must bs the betterment of all
things that we mus' direct our
thoughts and efforts and let sur
thoughts reflect through our young all
that is great and good An appeal goes
out to you, mothers, for the genera-
tions yet unborn. Le' us begin with
our children, now, today Let us so
instill the Golden Rule into their
little hearts that all their future acts
may be in accordance with it. and
"do unto others as yon would have
them do unto you" will guide them
and their thoughts and actions
through life, and this thought should
be with us always.
You cannot hope to accomplish good
without a good teacher, and the only
way to be a good teacher is to learn
life's way. and time will do much to
ild you In nurturing the seeds sown.
The obligation of developing them
nto strong, good men and women la
he mother's chief debt to the world.
Beside this task all other woman's
work pales Into Insignificance You
have a nucleus of a good work Cae
it well and protect and nourish the lit-
tle lives loaned to you. They are
with you today and gone tomorrow
Keep them, guide and protect them
for the betterment of all
But mothers, after all Is said and
done, let us not neglect the father Hla
strong coarse soul demands care and
attention, too. and every good moth-
er can mold the father In the molding
of the child.

FINAL OLYMPIC COUNT
18 AMERICAN TRIUMPH
Oklahoma Indian, Thorpe, De-
clared World's Best All
around Performer
Stockholm. July 15.—With the
Knifed States well in the lead in
total number of points in all
sports, with a sweeping victory to
the credit of Yankee athletes in
track and field events; and with
an Oklahoma Indian, James
Thorpe proved the best all-around
athlete in the world, the curtain
has fallen upon the Olympic
games of 1912. Never before has
there been such an assemblage of
athletes, never before have the
events been so hotly contested,
and never before have previous
records been bowled over so ruth-
lessly as in the fifth Olympiad.
Triumphs of the day were div-
ided for the most part between
the United States and the north-
ern nations. The latter, partic-
ularly Sweden scored a number
of points in wrestling and aquatic
sports in which the Americans did
not figure. James Thorpe, of
the Carlisle Indian school proved
himself easily the greatest all-
around athlete of the world in the
decathalon which proved a va-
riety of tests of speed, strength
and quickness, while Eugene L.
Mercer, University of Pennsyl-
vania. Oeorge L. Philbrook, Notre
Dame, and James Donohue, Los
Angeles A. 0., were prominent in
the second class.
American quarter-milers ran
away with the 1600 meters relay
as predicted. Shepard. Lindberg.
Meridith and Reidpath showing
their heels to their rivals. Eng-
land probably would have taken
seCond place instead of France,
but her first man. Nicol. went
latne.
The hop. step and jump proved
Swedish event. The Swedish took
the three leading places. Sweden
divided the cross country race of
8000 meters, which really was a
test of cliff climbing and ability
to penetrate underbrush. Finns
were second while the English
team was third. Americans for
the first time in this class of work
were absolutely outsiders.
Two events have ocured which
cast a shadow on the'Olmmpic
games. The Portuguese runner.
F. Lazarre. who ran in the mara-
thon, died today from sun stroke
nnd Lieut. Lawrence, a British of !
fieer of the 18th Hussars, was
thrown into a ditch during themil-
litary competition suffering con-
cusion of thebrain and other seri-
ous injuries.
It seems marvelous that any en
pacity to shout was left in Stock
holm after the last nine days, but |
the votersgot al due .them when
they received their laurels. Pre-
sentation of the prizes at 5 o'clock
this evening was a spectacle near-
ly as theatrical >is the opening
< "f« mony. Thre h tndsoine tasnds
were placed on the- grensward and
I the winners of S'iisl. second mid
third prizes inerch°d into the a
i era and assembled in thre:-
grt;ups before the stands. Flit*
.liiiletes and gymnasts and ol'lie-
er- of the various nations who
competed in the military events
v< re iu uniform while the woman
I•••iy.e-winners wer • variously at
t.ird.
The kinu confered on the win-
ners of each first prizes au oak
wreath, a gold medal and a chal-
lenge cup. Crown Prince C its-
tave Adolpli presented a silver
medal to each member of the se-
cond group and Prince Charles,
brother of the king, handed
bronze medals to each of the third
group. A herald in medieval
costume ealed the name of each
who then stepped forward and re-
ceived the prize
The procesion into the arena
was a remarkable sight. Every
sort of military costume figured
from ful tires military with plum-
ed and shining helmets and much
gold lace to simple khaki, and
from frock coats and silk hats to
running tights.
Roosevelt Men at Tulsa
Tulsa, Okla., July 13.—Two
hundred Roosevelt supporters,
mostly business men ami politic-
ians of this city, signed the call
for the county convention of the
new party to be held here on
July 20. at which time delegates
to the Roosevelt state convention
will In* selected. The petition was
filletl with signatures in an hour
and a half. Two-thirds of the
delegates to the Third District
Republican convention held in
Tulsa last spring were Roosevelt
men. and so large a crowd in ex-
pected to attend the convention
of July 20, that the Grand opera
house, the largest hall ill town,
has been secured for the occasion.
FRUIT
During the warm weather I will receive bananas twice a
week. Oranges and lemons will be kept on hand. Whenever
you need fresh fruit, you cannot do better than see me.
HATS
All the old hats are gone, but I have just received a new
line that will please you when you need a hat.
More Shoes
I have bad such a sale on shoes, that I have had to buy
more. A new shipment has just lately arrived. They too
will soon be gone, for everybody appreciates a good shoe at a
cheap price.
GLOVES
You can find a good line of work and dress gloves at my
store. Prices right.
