# Texas Aeronautics Commission

The Texas Aeronautics Commission (TAC) was a Texas government body established in 1945 by the Texas Aeronautics Act with a remit to promote and establish aviation within Texas, including assisting with the construction of airports and other aviation infrastructure. Amendments to the act in the 1960s increased the size of the commission from three to six commissioners and broadened its role to include, among other things, acquiring land for airports and the economic regulation of intrastate airlines operating within Texas. The TAC was reorganized out of existence in 1989.

## Role in the foundation of Southwest Airlines

The TAC played what might be its most prominent role in certifying and regulating Southwest Airlines as a Texas intrastate airline. For the first eight years of operation, Southwest flew solely within the state of Texas. In doing so, and taking certain other steps to minimize its participation in interstate commerce, it escaped then-tight Federal economic regulation. Without the alternative of TAC intrastate regulation, it is unlikely Southwest would have started at all, as Southwest was explicitly modeled on Pacific Southwest Airlines, a successful intrastate carrier operating within California. TAC oversight gave Southwest far more freedom to operate as it saw fit than did then Federal regulation.
TAC hearings for Southwest (then styled "Air Southwest") were held in 1967, and in February 1968, the TAC voted to grant the necessary certificate and give Southwest the economic right to fly between Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. There then followed two-to-three years of legal challenges to that decision, with Federally-regulated airlines flying within Texas determined to stop Southwest before it started. This included two successful appeals to the Texas Supreme Court on the part of Southwest and one unsuccessful appeal to the US Supreme Court by those determined to stop Southwest.
Under TAC economic oversight, Southwest successfully started operations in 1971 and expanded across Texas by 1978, from Harlingen in the south to El Paso in the west, growing from three aircraft to 13. By that time Southwest had come to dominate intra-Texas air travel, having dropped fares significantly and stimulated markets substantially.
Southwest's prominent success in Texas ultimately helped inspire the deregulation of the US airline industry starting in 1979. This would leave the TAC with no airlines to regulate, since under US deregulation, Federal economic airline regulation was effectively abolished. This meant there was no longer any advantage in being an intrastate carrier. Starting in 1979, Southwest converted its certificate from state to Federal and started the process of expanding outside of Texas.

## Demise

The remaining functions of the TAC were reorganized into the new Texas Aviation Department in 1989, which in turn was folded into the Texas Department of Transportation in 1991 as the Aviation Division.

# Home Rule, New South Wales

Home Rule is locality in the Central West region of New South Wales. Little remains of the 19th-century gold rush era village of the same name, which lies within the locality.

## History

The area now known as Home Rule lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people.
Prospectors worked progressively from Gulgong (gold discovered in 1870), through Canadian Lead (gold discovered in 1871), and found gold at Home Rule, in May 1872, in deep lead deposits.
On 9 July 1872 The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser reported that:
   "The scene at Home Rule is a busy one, and very few people can form an idea of it unless they go and see for themselves. A township is in rapid formation, and streets are being made close to the golden holes. One digger refused £500 for a share in a claim on the right spot. Everyone appears sanguine. The storekeepers and publicans look remarkably pleasant, as if they anticipated rich harvests, and even John Chinaman smiles graciously on meeting you. It would almost be an impossibility to give an account of the different claims, as they extend for miles; and until the dispute as to the frontage and block system is settled, many men will prefer to be idle."
The mining village at Home Rule came into existence immediately after the discovery of gold there. Home Rule had about 3,000 inhabitants when, on 15 July 1872, Charles Bayliss took a series of photographs of businesses in the village, together with those owners, staff and customers who happened to be there at the time. These glass plate negative photographs form a part of the Holtermann Collection.
Around 1904, there was a revival of deep lead mining in the area.
There was a public school there, from November 1874 until December 1957. It was first called Home Rule, until December 1874, Mobellah until May 1913, then Wyaldra, before reverting to its original name of Home Rule in December 1913.

## Remnants of the village

The names of three streets of the old mining village, Commercial Street, Stanley Street, and Britannia Road are still applied to modern-day roads. The portion of Commercial Street that runs east-to-west corresponds to the old main street of the mining village. Britannia Road running north-to-south corresponds to the original street, where the old school building survives.
There is a water-filled mining pit lying to the east of the eastern end of Commercial Street.

Hume Shire was a local government area in the eastern Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia.
