EXCEEDING THE LIMITS OF REASON

Look over Texas from the Red
River to the gulf Picture the
millions Of fertile acres Of farms
and ranches. Observe the great
seaport at Galveston, SO near at
hand. Nature has provided every
blessing for our commerce. See
the big cotton crop awaiting ship
ment % the sea
But stop! The Texas Railroad
Commission says you cannot 90
there, that you can ship to Hcus-
ton, 80 miles inland, but II you
60 to deep water, you shall be
charged another rate-that It will
cost you heavily.
We are neither hitting at Hous'
ton, nor taking sides with Calves
ton in this matter. We are not
considering either Of those cities.
The Commission makes O rate
of l9c on cotton for over 100 miles
except south of Houston. From
there to Galveston they add a
dilIerential of &c per 100 he.
Farmers always have TO stand
the rate on cotton to the seabord
out OF what they receive. They
paid out for this unfair diileren-
tial the startling SUN Of S750,OOO
last season, which was a dead loss.
They are the losers by an immense
amount during past years, on ac-
count Of il.
There seems absolutely no justi-
iication for this differential. Let
Us explain briefly. Take MeSia
for instance:
MeSia 10 Houston $50 miles, rate 49c.
MexiaNo Galveston 229 Doe.
Dallas t0\Houston 26i Dc % i9c.
\ This plainly shows that Mexia
to-. GalvestoA is 80 miles shorter
than from Dahas to Houston, and
farmers have 10 pay 30c bale
more Tor less haul to Galveston,
which is absu1d. Or take Mexia
10 San Antonid $50 miles, rate 49c.
What is the SCI se in making a &c
diferential higher rate to Calves
ton for same distance. Again
compare.
Seguin 10 houston l7imiles, rate 49c.
Seguin tO/Galv't'n POI miles, rate Doc.
Seguint6 Beaumont 25smiles, rate l9o
segujn 10 Dallas 2O6 miles, rate i9c.
SeV6in 10 TeX'k'na iiS miles, rate 49c
L/Just look at that excessive rate
to Galveston. l. it reasonable
Again examine Temple TO Hous-
ton via Santa Fee 2l3 miles, rate
| 49c.
Temple to Galveston via Santa
Fe 2lS,3 miles, rate 55c.
Galveston is practically the
same distance in this case, but
farmers are made to pay &c differ
entail higher The same gross
/ injury is done to farmers all along
| the Santa Fe line in Texas.
Similar astonishing comparisons
can he made from all other points
/ like Ennis, Hillboro, Corsicana
etc, which are burdened with
arbitrary higher rates to Calves
ton. These figures divulge an
apparent outrageous abuse Of rate
making pnwerby the Commission,
/ in favor of railroads, which should
not be submitted to much longer
by deluded and damaged farmers
of the tate.-State Herald.
