TEXAS RAILROADS AROUSED.
THE STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION
NAY ORDER A SLAsHING OF RATES.

Ex.eenator Reagan Thinks There OuGht
20 ne = Reduction OF 40 TO SO Fer Cent.
1T Means Bankruptcy, tho Roads Say.
Tho State Railroad Commission OF Texas. OF
which ex-senator Reagan was recently ap-
pointed Chairman, has Just announced 10 the
railroad companies OF that State tho flrst OF .
series OF reforms which it proposes to carry
out. Out OF curiosity. perhaps. tho commas
sion issued circular to the companies. asking
them what they thought OF the first plan.
"wewer thunderstrnck," snid arepresenta-
tive Of ono OF the Texas roads yesterday. We
shouldn't hive been moro sur prised II the Com
mission had suggested that We nil so into
bankruptcy, for that is what the new reform
means. This Commission intends to cut down
commodity ratios from a third to one-half on
all Important products. such rs cotton. lum-
ber, -four. grain. and salt
They haven't got 10 class rates yet. but am
told they intend TO mako tho samesveepinR
reductions in that line also.
Sce how this affects rates. Tho rate for
cotton from Dallas to Houston. 2G5 miles 10 ca
cents q hundred pounds. The Commission
PROPOSES to reduce il to SO cents. From CAL
vert to Houston. 1913 miles. tho rate on cotton
would be reduced from 62 cents to 81 cents.
In other words. 1t is a slaughter Of from 40 to
so per cent. The worst Of 1t Is that rates will
have TO be reduced correspondingly to all in
termediate stations
Tho Commission goes still further and says
that allowance shall he made whore cargo
IL handled by several roads. No allowance Is
10 be made for transfer from ono road TO au-
other. II a carload of lumber has to 60 over
three roads in order to roach its destination
forty miles away. oil that each company gets
out of 1t will be consumed BY switching
charges, Tho reduction is to be made on a
mileage basis" ,
Tho railrond people are verv much worked
up about tho matter. and they have not hesi-
tatsd to toll tho Commission what they thin
about it In consequence. before the order for
the reduction was Officially issued the Com
mission invited tho managers Of the roads to
attend q conference today Mt Austin. whom
they will ha,o n chance 10 state their oblec-
tons.
A few days npo tho Commission sent of q
long list OF questions relating to traffic. which
II requested tho railroads to answer In detail.
The companies didn't comply to suit the Com
mission. md tho threatened reform 1. the re-
suit. Those whom u Sun reporter ta!ked with
yesterday said that the scleme originated In
tho brain 81 ex-senator Reagan. who: they
said. was bent on carryin ont some OF his I'm
prncticnblo theories. Tie other mem ers OF the
Commission are Judge ". i. Mclean. ali ea-
Cong essmnn. and l.. l.. Foster. wbo Is known
rs a politician.
The railroad peoplo deny that rates are any
higher in Texas than in most other states.
They haven't yet mndo up thoir minds why the
Commission haa taken such II radical stand.
