cIauoring for adding anything more 10
its unholy weight.
The Post knows the laws OF Texas
are not perfect. IL also knows that they
are about as good as those Of other States
and that they offer neither more nor less
adequate protection" to legitimate capi-
tai. VIII the Express say to the contrary
What The Post insists on for the laws
and legislative spirit OF Texas is that
they receive fair criticism here and
abroad. Meanwhile It will join she Ex-
press, or any one else, in an honest eff
fort for the good and glory OF Texas to
make our laws better. but 1t does not pro-
pose to permit the bankers, earning from
25 TO 60 per cent on every dollar of their
capital, nor foreign money, looking for
exorbitant profits and special exemptions
to make our laws Tor US. The people will
attend to that, and they are just as care
full and true and intelligent a people as
make tho strength and progress OF any
State in this good old American Union.

values and terms upon which lands may
be acquired.
Victoria citizens, aided by citizens from
surrounding counties, propose to establish
similar policy and have taken the hrst
step to similar success.
Thursday under the aegis Of the Business
Mems association at Victoria temporary
organization was effected on the part OF
real estate and business men to consider
the best methods of exploiting the sec
tion represented. II was resolved to fos-
ter the creation Of State board OF trade
to encourage immigration to Texas. These
citizens have created the hrst contribu-
tory organization by resolving themselves
into district committee charged with the
function OF presenting to the homeseekei
in practical and inviting form the advan-
tages offered by the several counties rep
resented in this committee. Each COM
mitteeman pledges himself to canvass his
individual county and to report to an adj
journed meeting to be held in Victoria on
June IL. Prerequisite to permanent or
ganization the committee demands mem
bership from the counties embraced OF 500
citizens who shall be in hearty sympathy
with this great movement to put their sec
tion 10 the public eye and before the mar
ket for settlement and development.
When every section OF the State shall
follow the example set by Victoria, and we
do not know a single one that can not be
materially benefited by such an organiza-
ton, then will come the State board which
has done so much for California and all
the people of Texas become concerned in
a practical common sense plan that must
result In general development of domestic
resource and IN the creation OF a tide OF
immigration that will build up the waste
places and make Texas reach out towards
the greatness which nature has destined
her to attain.

THE CANNING FACTORY NEXT.

We are told by man in the business
that there will be 900 to 1900 cars of Texas
fruit and vegetables handled for foreign
markets from the section OF country ac-
cessible to the international and Great
Northern railroad alone.
Ten years ago this fruit and vegetable
business was in its incipiency. People
saw no money in fruit and vegetables.
The horticulturalist and the truck grow
or had no place in our domestic economy.
The farmer who could cultivate the larg-
est number of acres in cotton and tho
cereals was the only tiller of the generous
soil who was considered worthy OF mer-
ton when one came to recount the produce
tive wealth OF the State.
All that is changed and tho change rep
resents the best step forward Texas has
made.
1t has been found that there Is money
there is gold in strawberries and in
peaches and grapes: that there is wealth
in cabbage and garden truck"-more OF
It in fact with less labor and per acre
than in the old familiar staples OF cotton,
corn, oats and wheat.
In all these discoveries some conception
OF the bounty of Texas to the man who
understands her resources and has the
good sense to profit by their utilization
has been attained.
But in these discoveries and in this
utilization OF native resource and oppor.
tunity we have gone too far in produc.
tion and not remembered the economic
necessity of taking care of the inevitable
surplus that always occurs when too many
producers and too many acres are de-
voted 10 the Same crop.
Fruit and vegetable growth, unless tn,
canning factory shall be on hand to ea
up ali which can not be speedily mar.
keted, can be oyerdone. The early varle
ties are first In point OF demand. II pro
duced solely to meet that demand tn,
market is speedily glutted and in the alb
sence of the canning factory the surplus
Is without value.
The soundest and most wholesome les
son TO be acquired in that economy which
makes the commonwealth great and 1t
people prosperous and contented is in tina
which avoids the creation OF surplu
without market.
Establish, then, the canning factor.
to preserve the surplus fruit crop of Texas
There is money in the canning factor
everywhere else. There Is money, toe
in It in Texas. Preserve the surplus. I
will create it's own market.
