EXTENSIONS OF THE KATY.
Mr.. Rouse Intimatcd that the Com
solidntion BiM VIII BE Accented.

iur. Rouse Inttmatcd TINT the Con-
soIidntion Bill VIII BE Accepted.
Austin, TexSs, November 1s.-President
Rouse of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
was here today and called on the governor
and other State officials. With regard
to the proposed extensions OF his road and
the absorption OF the Sherman, Shreveport
and Southern on the terms prescribed by
the Twenty sixth legislature, he said that
the object of his present visit to Texas
was to determine what would be done
about both, and it may be deducei from
such talks as he INDUCED in on these
subjects that II satisfactory arrangements
can be made for terminsls at San Antonio
and at jefferson work on the extensions
will be promptly begun and the consolida-
ton will be effected. Furthermore, il was
gathered from Mr.. Rouse's remarks that
there is a strong possibility of the San
Antonio branch being built from Lockhart
and via Seguin, IL built at all. Mr.. Rouse
left for Lockhart and San Antonio this
evening. AT the latter place he will have
a final consultation with the San Antonio
committee. which has the matter of Sc
curing terminals in hand.

In Accordance with the con-
stitution of the state.

Austin, Texas November iS,--The re-
Gently given opinion OF the attorney gen
eral that there is statutory authority for
the assessment Of corporate franchises ami
that the county In which a corporation
may have It's principal office can assess
the entire value Of its franchise. regardless
OF the fact that 1t may be doing business
and owning property in other counties is
being pretty freely discussed and there
are those who are drawing the conclusion
therefrom that it is indicative of what
the tax commission will recommend in
tho matter at Issue. There is no room
for such conclusion, however. as Mr..
Smiths opinion was rendered without
reference to what the tax commission may
have to say on the subject and without
previous understanding with any member
of said commission.
The commissioners have devoted con-
siderable time to the study Of the question
of taxing corporate franchises and will
make pointed recommendations with re-
gard thereto, but 1t is safe to predict that
Sdiu VIII uVt SuiDIdNe
the proposition laid down by Mr.. Smith,
as no member Of the tax commission agrees
with him in the matter.
The assessment Of franchises as ap-
proved of by Mr. Smith will, 1t is under
stood, be resisted by several OF the cor
poratious assessed in Dallas county on
the ground that It is demonstrations The
constitution provides that properly shall
be assessed in the county in which it is
situated, and the contention is that II
franchises have any assessable value, said
value permeates the entire corporate prop
erty and should be proportionately esti-
mated Herewith and not assessed in its
entirety in one particular county simply
because the principal office of the cor
poration happens to be located in that
county. The absence of statutory provision
for the pro rata valuation of corporate
franchises by counties Is another question
and does not affect the soundness of the
proposition that the value of a franchise
depends upon the character and volume
Of the corporations business and holdings
as whole and not upon the location OF
its general Offices.

Division of Rates Caused the Trouble
Regarding Sugar Cane.
The differences heretofore existing be-
tween the Houston East and West Texas
railway and e. H. Cunningham & Co. at
Sugsrland regarding the routing of ship
ments of cane from Shepherd, Texas, have
been adjusted Reference was made to this
matter in The Post yesterday the sugar re-
finers having made a protest to the COM
mission asking that the Houston East
and West Texas railway be required 10
obey a routing order. The commission
could only file the protest, as IL is power
less to act in the matter. The whole ques-
tion was whether the shipper or conslgnee
had the right to route shipment, the de-
sires of the road interested at the poiht
of origin to the contrary OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
rhe question arose over large shipment
of cane from Shepherd, Texas. the firm
of e. H. Cunningham & Co. wanting the
cars routed via the International AMI
Great Northern and the Sugarland railway
after leaving Houston. General Freight
Agent Taylor of the Houston East and
West Texas was not satisfied with the
division Of rate offered by the roads men
toned. and knowing his own ROAD couia
profit better under its trafhc arrange
ments with the Southern PACING compah! !.
he declined to agree to the DIVISION OF
fered by the other reads. This brought
about difference of opinion as to whose
rights were being tramplcd on, and 1t is
understood that Mr. Taylor stated that he
had the right to dictate over what roads
his cars should be operated. Finally the
general freight agent and Mr. Cunnil=a
ham reached an agreement on the nusi-
ness the division asked for by MT. ray
Tor being allowed his road. and the snip,
ments are now routed as MI. cunningham"
directs.
