Advance Of Freight Raise

The Southwestern Traffic AS
ISOLATION, composed of the gen
eral freight agents of the rail-
roas operating in the southwest,
last week gave notice to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
of an advance of 5 to 10 cents
per hundred pounds on all COM
modities shipped from another
state into Texas. The rate does
not apply to interstate shipments
between other states than Texas,
and hence the motive behind the
move it not clearly revealed. Of
course the first object is to eX-
tort more money from the public,
but just why they tax it all
against Texas is not apparent.
Oklahoma, for instance, gets a
2.cent passenger fare, while
Texas pays 3 cents, and yet no
advance is made in freights in
Oklahoma to make up the differ
ence. Not that we think such an
advance should have been made.
On the contrary, we think con-
ditions do not warrant any adj
vance anywhere, and we believe
that a strong protest should go
up from every state in the south
west, and If tbs not made effect
n
i've before the railroads and the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, should be carried to the
ballot box.
There is a strong suspicion
that the motive for charging all
the advance made by the south
western roads to Texas is to pun
ish this state for the intangible
assets tax and to warn the pub
lie against any further anti-rail-
road legislation. Ii this is the
motive the game will prove a

Recently In glancing over the repub-
lican situation the Sentinel said 1t
looked like Taft for the presidential
nomination, although there remained
a possibility that he might lose when
1t came to an actual show Of hands, as
had been the case In numerous In
stances where the leading aspirant ap-
peared to be fairly sure OF the prize.
The situation In that respect remains
unchanged, with the national conven.
ton less than two weeks away.
On the democratic side the chances
appear to be equally favorable to VIII
liam J. Bryan, II not more so. The
democratic national convention will be
composed OF 1902 delegates. or this
number considerably more than three
fourths have been elected. and much
more than half of the 1902 are known
to be for Mr.. Bryan. A large pro.
portion have been instructed and will
stand by their orders, and others are
voluntarily but no less firmly In favor
of the Nebraskan.
So. Mr.. Bryan will 60 into the con.
vention with q decided advantage
over his rivals, who include Governor
johnson Of Minnesota and Judge Gray
of Delaware. But neither has more
than handful of votes to start with
no matter what they may develop
when the balloting begins.
It is perfectly plain that the oppon
ents OF Mr.. Bryan have been carrying
lon great game OF bluff. They have
rung the changes on the growing pop
|ularity of this or that candidate, ant
some Of them have made specia
lpretense Of enthusiasm for Governor
johnson. When the enthusiasm CANE
to be measured up by the cold ant
impartial standard OF actual votes tn,
showing was not impressive.
The two-thirds rule governs In tn,
democratic national convention. Al
lyet Mr.. Bryan does not seem to hav,
an actual two-thirds majority, but h,
Is so near that the other fellows can
mot hope to secure It. Mr.. Bryan an,
his followers will have great dea
to say, both about the man who shall
head the Denver ticket and the plat
form on which he will stand.--Grar
