RAILROAD LAWS.
The present railroad law should be
as contemplated by what
was known as the Jones bill, and
which WAS defeated In the Texas Sen
ate last winter. No legislation should
stand in the way OF railroads giving

toriep in the State. The prevailing re-
strictions in this regard go y very
great way toward keeping our inter-
nal resources undeveloped, besides
bringing about enforced idleness of
