MAJOR BONDS ARGUMENT ON THE
TEXAS PACIFIC BILL.


argument before the Senate Committee
on Railroads, on the Texas and Pacific
question, was continued to-day by
Mai. Bond, Vice. President of that
company. He called special attention
to the twCnty-twO feet of water in the
San Diego harbor in comparison with
the shallow water of San Pedro Bay,
which the Southern Pacific, of Califor-
mia, proposed to make the western ter
minus Of their road, where everything
has T., be Iightened.. He showed that
the entire llDe on the 32d parallel, from
me Mississippi river to the Pacific was
but, III mites or $50 miles shorter
<hl6 Rresent line, and that the
G6NerpmSe1t and the public, while
having the advantage of this great re-
duction on the haul, would also have
the immense additional advantage of
having to pay but 1914 ,OOO,OOO OF
capital AS against 1921 ,OOO, 600 on the
present line. He claimed that in no
way could the country be benefited by
being compelled to use Mr.. Hunting
toms present line, from Fort Yuma to
San Francisco, as it alone was repres-
ented by a capital account of $67 900,
600, the interest on which must be
paid by the traffic passing over it, be-
ing more than the interest on the en-
tire Texas and Pacific line from the
Mississippi toSan Diego. Major Bond
contendetl that the best evidence of the
good faith of the Texas and Pacific
Company was tho offer to place the
control of the entire rates in Congress,
not only on the line to be constructed
but on the four hundred and fifty
miles already built. He quoted from
the reports Of the Central and South
ern Pacific Companies to show that her
main line to San Francisco had been
satldled with 1 900 miles of subsidiary
branches, SO that the 1000 miles oper-
ateti in that one interest was represen-
ted by over one hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars, and on this enormous
sum of trans-continental traffic the
country was now required to pay tri-
butte. Maj. Bond also claimed that not
ouly was the Southern Pacific of Cali
fornia in default in not having built a
continuous line between Yuma and
San Francisco, but that even the part
of the line it had built was without au-
thority Of law, that company having
failed to comply with the require
ments of California legislation; and
that until they had so complied with
the California statutes, and also with
the acts of Congress, they We're not in
Ia position to appear before the COM
mittee and assert the rights of the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The House Of Representatives, on
Monday, unseated souer, Of Avoyelles,
and seated his contestant, Judge Bar
bin. The reason, and the only one,
given for the decision was, that as
Souer was ineligible at the time Of his
election, Judge Barbin, having received
the next highest number of votes, was.
therefore, entitled to the seat.
There is no such law in the United
States only, a few presidents and these
are happily all Radical. II Souer was
ineligible, then there was vacancy.
Barbin was not elected, it was admitted
on. the floor by his friends; Souer
could not qualify; consequently, there
was no election. The decision Of the
House il undemocratic, dangerous and
utterly indelensible In either law or
equity. It Is the will of the minority
and not Of the minority which the
House must respect. II the majority
choose to elect woman to the legfsla-
ture, that does not elect man who re-
ceives the minority vote. They can
~ SAAAVkAS90ASSCA ~ SsSOy pACAOte 0uO ACT
them do 1t, II they prefer, father than
the House Of Representatives shall
elect members to seats In that body.
Let the House rescind its action, or
else confess that George F. Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,, is q better Democrat
than the supporters of this decision,
since he in a case from Kentucky, pre-
cisely similar, made a strong report
against the Identical doctrine urged to
seat Barbin, when its application
would have seated u Republican. The
House, then largely Radical and bitter
ly hostile to the South, sustained the
report, and the election was sent back.
We commend Hoar's report-the book
is not in our library-to the Democrats
of the House who voted to seat Judge
Barbin.
