Austin. Tex, oct. sO.-The railroad
commission was without a quorum
this morning. but some or the routine
business went on all the same.
The only matter OF Interest that
came up this morning was cOnsulta-
ton with Commissioner Foster over
matters concerning the Red River.
Sabine and Western Railway COM
pany This So a road that was pro-
jected some time ago TO run from
Nacogdoches to san Augustine and
90 Palestine from one Of these points
It had for one OF its objects an ex-
tension into the state OF Louisiana
and eastward After grading some
ten miles out Of Nncogdoches the
company met with reverses and the
road was sold under execution for a
nominal sum. In addition to other
difficulties the road had its charter
forfeited and the present owners COM
template getting out q new charter
and making preparation for renewed
work
Mr.. A. 3. Blevens OF New Birming-
ham was one Of the purchasers OF the
road at the aheriNs sale. and Il was
he who consulted with Mr.. Foster this
morning about the steps to be taken
TO rehabilltate the franchises lost by
the forfeiture OF the charter

gallty Of the title claimed by Blevens
and others.
San Augustine citizens are those
who provoked the forced sale OF the
road and Mr. +. w Blunt Is one OF
the parties Interested
There Is one point raised which de-
serves notice to-wit: when the Red
River, Sabine and Western railroad
failed TO pay the franchise tax re-
CURED BY law the secretary OF state
proceeded to forfeit the charter. The
law provides that such falling upon
the part OF corporations to pay the
franchise tax VIII DO followed by q
forfeiture, but this pre-supposea some
action by the Encouragement in some
district court of the state
II seems that the secretary OF state
inteprcts the law TO provide that upon
the failure to pay franchise taxes cor
porauons must have their charters
forfeited Immediately by the head OF
that state department. While this
department takes such n position Il
would be impolltlc and unwise for the
railroad commission TO agree TO the
Issuance OF bonds upon the properly
OF any such doubtful or uncertain legal
entity, and the commission would not
place Itself in the attitude OF being
In conflict with the secretary or state.
Hence the owners OF the Red River.
