TWO CENT RATE IN TEXAS.
Commissioner Colquitt VIII Take Ini-
tiative 70 Establish Low Fare.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 90 B. Col
quit. one Of the railroad commits
sioners of Texas, stated yesterday that
he would make a motion. as MEM
Der of the commission, to reduce the
passenger rates in the state to cents
z mile
Il have always advocated a 21z-
cent-per-maLe rate" he said, but
now 1 have determined that cents
per mile is justified, and therefore viii
advocate such d rate"
When asked whether the commits
sion mad the power to make such re-
ductlon in the passenger rate of the
state, Mr.. CoIquitt answered that it
had. and mentioned that since his in
ductiOn into office as one of the rail-
road commissioners the child's rate
had been reduced by the commission
from cents to z cents
If either one of the other COM
missioners." he said. will concur in
my motion for a passenger-rate reduc-
ton. we can put in force in Texas
within thirty days 2-cent-per-mile
rate
In the opinion of Mr.. CoIquitt, the
question of a 2-cent-per-miIe rate will
be made an issue in the race for the
legislature next year. and he believes
that unless the commission puts in the
low rate the next legislature will
When asked about the newspaper
story originating in Waco relative to
poll of the members of the Iegisla-
ture on the question of a 2-cent rate,
MT Colquitt said that he did not be
heve that Governor Campbell would
cali special session for the purpose
OF reducing the passenger rate, but
tnat he would demand the passage OF
such an act by the legislature at its
next regular session
The dispatch referred to indicated
that there was some controversy or
between Governor Campbell and Com
missioner CoIquitt as to who should
get the credit for advocating the re-
duced passenger fare.
Mr. Colquitt has long advocat ted a
Z cent fare, but now wants a 2-cent-
per-nile passenger rate.
Several months ago Commissioner
Colquitt predicted that the gross
earnings of the railroads of the state
would reach S100.000.000. and his
forecast has been proven correct
