CONE JOHNSON AT coRsIcANA.
| Special to the Gazette.
| CoRsICANA, TEX, June Ex-senator
| Cone johnson OF Tyler addressed about
| 400 citizens in the opera house here this
| afternoon in advocacy of Fl gig and
| commission. He ridiculed the idea that
railway regulation by state commission
would be unjust, unfair or uneonstitu-
| tional. When a railway wants to run
| through farmers land and the farmer
objects. the railway authorities go to the
courts and have a commission appointed
rs a board of survey to condemn the
property and hand it over to the road.

across river to accommodate the
public to make money for themselves the
county commissioners grant the privi-
| lege andsfix the rate to be charged, and
If twenty men complain that the rate is
, too high the commissioners can reduce
| it. All these facts of law are guaran-
tee of the justice and legality of a COM
mission to fix railway freights at a fair
percentage on the capital invested, and
no fair-mlnded business man should OBJ
iact to such commission when he con-
siders the legal rights. the great privilege
and uninterrupted sway which the rail-
ways of Texas now enjoy. The speech
was fine one, and created great en-
tfusiasm among the friends of Hogg and
