Matamoros Branch.
Of National Railway Now Receiving
Attention Of Builders.

H. n. Taylor, superintendent
OF construction, and J. NJ. Reid,
chief engineer of the construction
department Of the National, are in
Monterey, where they have gone to
make arrangements for the opening
of the work on the line which the
National will build from Monterey
to Matamoros, to connect with the
now isolated line which runs from
MatamorOs to San Miguel, on the
border.
Surveying parties have been in
the field there for some time past
and the final surveys have made
for portion of the distance, and
the work Of construction will be
commenced within a few days.
The distance from Monterey to
San Miguel is about 800 kilometers
or 10 miles, and the line which is
already in operation between San
Miguel and Matamoros is 100
kilometers long.
1. is thought that it will take
about eighteen months to complete
the work as several large bridges
will be needed. 1t Will now be but
a short time until the National will
have large force of men at lis
command as the work of rebuilding
the road into this city Is rapidly
nearing completion and when it is
done the men Will be transferred
to the work between San Miguel
and Monterey. The extension has
not yet received the approval of
the government but permission has
been granted the road to start the
construction AS soon as desired

RAILROAD TO BROWNSVILLE.
Projectors OF Rice Belt Road Are
Confident 1t VIII Be Built
Soon.

Dallas, Texas, March 3O.-Ross
L. Clark of Post Lavaca, Texas,
who was recently elected president
OF the Rice Belt Railway Company,
came to Dallas on business today.
Mr.. Clark, who is a prominent rice
grower and ranchman, said:
"The Rice Belt railway will be
built from Galveston to Browns
vile, distance of $50 miles, just
as soon as money and energy can
lay the rails. The new road will
supply an urgent want, and meet a
long felt necessity. We have all
the money we need, and the line
will be properly constructed and
splendidly equipped. The people
along the proposed route are so
pleased with the proposition that
they have made us very liberal Of
fers. We expect every foot of the
right-of-way to be donated to US.
In addition, every county through
which the line will run will give Us
a bonus ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000. The line will cross Mata-
gorda Bay, at the old Indian ford
just below Port Lavaca and will
keep close to the shore line all the
way to the Mexican border. Much
of the route has been surveyed and
the reason we are not at work now
Is due to the recent heavy rains.
Actual construction is to be COM
menced Just as soon as the ground
will allow. The cost of the right
ol-way, if we had to pay it added
to the bonus and that are being
raised, would build an ordinary
railway. In addition to these
advantages, we lave behind us
foreign trust company whose direc-
tors are more than willing to
furnish every dollar we may need.
Texas railroads slept en- their
opportunities when they did not
avail themselves OF the ore we have
caught hold OF The Rice Belt road

VE'T0ES REPEAL OF OC-
CUPATION TAX.

Governor Lanham has given the
Lawyers, dentists, merchants and
ariyate bankers a cold douche, by
uetoing the bill to repeal the state
TAX upon these occupations. 1t is to
re regretted that he found it neces-
<4ry to do 50, and will probably
cause him to lose popularity to
some extent with the advocates of
Ghis measure. However, it cannot
sc denied that his explanation OF
his course IS very reasonable, and,
IN all fairness, the governor is
entitled TO admiration for having
che courage OF his convictions, and
doing what he believed to be his
sEuty, even though it was not a
popular thing 10 do. As Governor
Ganham has pointed ont several
aimes lately, the revenues of the
state under existing laws are in
adequate for the support of the
Iariou5 branches of the state gov
asrment, and state institutions, the
expense Of which continues to in
crease, and for this reason he has
Selt constrained to veto some bills
making appropriations which the
state treasury could not afford. His
-reason for vetoing the repeal of the
occupation tax IS on similar lines,
rs ne explains in his veto message,
lfor its passage would cause q very
large reduction in the revenues Of
ahe state, while it carries no pro
vision for raising revenue by any
ether means to make up such defs
cit. The governor further points
,sut in the same message that the
state revenue are already being
greatly reduced by the adoption of
prohibition in many counties,
which cuts of the tax that is col
ected for the sale Of intoxicating
liquors. and says that any further
deduction Of taxes, in the face Of
.lhe growing expenditures Of the
state can only cause financial
disaster He further says:
at seems to me that it would be
erell for US to be candid with
our selves and the country, and
look the situation squarely in the
6ace 1t it is necessary to increase
lakes generally in order to meet
the expenses of an economically
administered Government, let US
eourageously DO so, and the people
cpill vindicate our action"
All fairminded citizens must
commend such advice to the leg
.slature. Some chronic grumblers
may object to any legislation to
add even a small percentage to the
present state taxes, and yet the
existing taxes are not burdensome,
and all patriotic citizens would be
willing to pay few cents more on
the 500 valuation, if the best
interest OF the state requires it.
