SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF

Pushing It's Investigations and Gath
erins Data Pending the settle
ment OF It's Legal status.
Special plspateh .

Special Disphtch.
Austin. Tex. Fob. THE railroad
commissioners second annual report has
made its appearance. 1t starts out by
recalling the fact that about year and
a half ago, one Of the judges Of the cir
chit courr of tLe United States enjoined
the commission from performing the du-
ties required Of It by the act of April y,
1881. and prohibited st and She attorney
general Of the state from instituting any
suit or suits for the recovery Of the
penalties prescribed by tie said act for
the violations Of It's provisions, so far as
related to the Texas and Pacific, Inter
national and Great Northern, 81 Louis
aud Southwestern, Tyler Southeastern,
Gulf. Colorado and Santa lie aud Gal
weston. Harrisburg aud san Antonio
railway companies. At 4 subsequent
hearing Of the case against the first Of
the above named railways, in order TO
obtain an early decision from the SUI
preme court Of the United Staes ON the
constindonality Of the commission law
fbe attorneys for the railroad commission
Withdrew their answers as 10 the fnct
in all cases and allowed Judgment TO
20 against them on the demurrers with
out contest and appealed the case Of
tho International and Great Northern
railroad, which appeal Is sill pending.
According 10 the report the injunction
has produced great deal Of confusion
and has iniuriousy affected thu inter

In the commissioners opinion the land
grants which the roads have received
from Texas should have some bearing on
their charges, and it makes that point
as follows;
In determining the equity Of freight
rates, the large donations Of land and
money and rights Of way made TO rail-
road companies by the state, counties,
cities towns and people should not be
lost sight Of As said by Governor Lar
rabee In his book on the Railroad Cues
ton THE patrons Of a road should not
be taxed to pay interest on their own
donations. or on public donations to the
road, as the donations were made for the
benefit Of the public and not for the bene-
fit Of private Individuals
1.-THE gift by the state to the railroad
companies of $500, 500 acres Of land
an amount equaling in territorial extent
the eight states of Massachusetts, New
Hampshire Vermont, Connecticut. Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Delaware and Mary
land, which. " valued at 81 an acre,
was gift of $500. 800, ought to count
for something in the adjustment of
equities between the state aud her peo-
pie and the railroads. And the fact,
IL IL. 81. h.a INg
part the rights Of way of the Texas roads
have been given to them without price
by the owners of the land over which
they passed, which If they had been paid
for would have cost other millions OF
dollars to the roads; and the fact that
the counties, cities and towns have paid
them subsidies Of q very large amount
IN the aggregate and that private moi
viduals have donated to them in the ag-
gregnte large sums of money and land
ought to have their influence in the ad-
justment Of those equities"
The report concludes by calling atten-
tion to the large issue Of stocks ana
bonds, aggrcgating 81, coo, which
resulted from the failure TO give the act
regulatin such securities immediate eli
feet. The large issues referred 10 oc-
CURED in the short space Of ninety days
and in regard to the resolution author
izing them to report says:
cit Is supposed that the filing Of these

an intention to issue bonds as proposed
was for the purpose of avoiding a com

regulating their issuance. no roads having

the information required by the railroad
commission law and the act of April s,

the iusuihciency of the appropriation in
the following language:
with a large appropriation we could
have put more engineers In the field to
collect the information necessary to en-
able the commission to fix the present
value of the railroads And If the pres
