THE STATE RAILROAD
MEASURE.


Apparently the state railroad bill
by which it is sought to secure the
use of the uermanent school fund
TO build an extension of the state
penitentiary railroad-will be de-
feated. Not only does the prevailing
sentiment appear to be against tying
up the school fund in what may
prove an experiment of doubtful is
sue but the question of state owner
ship of railroads is becoming involved
in the discussion, and Texans are hard
iy prepared to give endorsement to
that even on limited scale. As to the
use of the school fund in the manner
proposed. it is, in The Heralds opin-
ion quite doubtful whether it would
be wise 1t might, indeed prove disas-
trous. Every cent of the states per-
manent school fund can easily be
placed to good advantage in the pur-
chase of interest bearing bonds
throughout the state, and none of it
need or should be jeopardized by
lending it to any doubtful enterprise
As to the state ownership problem,
however. there seems no harm in al
lowing the experiment to be tested
by the state if the means can be OBJ
tanned otherwise. Already owning
the Rusk penitentiary road. by for
tuitous chain of circumstances. the
state cannot be criticised for attempt
ing to build needed extension. Some
condemn the proposed move as being
the entering wedge of an attempt to
bring about state ownership of all
railroads within the state. This is
nonsense. The ownership of the
Rusk road was forced upon the state.
as it were. and, being operated for
the necessary transportation of the
product and supplies of the peniten-
tiary foundries, it appears to be quite
legitimate for the state to own and
operate it. If, by expanding in a ma
tural growth it become a public car
rier operating possibly in competition
with other railroads. it may present
a more complicated aspect. AS state,
or government, ownership is consid-
cred an undemocratic policy and, in
any event. might involve far reaching
consequences which few thoughtful
persons are ready to endorse offhand,
and to which many refuse to lend an
ear at all. it may be seen easily how
the people of the state in general
would view any move looking to ulti-
mate state ownership of railroads
with apprehension In the present
not the slightest danger of any sys-
Eematic move for the adoption of
such a policy On the other hand, it
might prove interesting if the state.

Associated Press dispatches from
Mexico City announce that, among
other great railroad undertakings
planned by E. H. Hartman in Mexico
to be built within the next five years,
is a trunk line from Matamoros to
Tehuantepec. The wonderful and
totally undeveloped resources of the
region lying south of Matamoros. in
Guiding extensive petroleum deposits.
have already attracted the attention
of leading northern capitalists and
developers. and the report that the
Hartman system will enter this field
is both plausible and probable. The
construction of a great trunk line
southwark from Matamoros to Te-
huantepec has been considered "a
certainty for years by those who have
studied the situation in this part of
the world Its consummation will
naturally make of Brownsville and
Matamoros the two most important
gateways on the Texas-Mexican Dor
der.

DEMOCRATS IN
FRACTIONAL ROW
CAUCUS .REBUKES BOILERS;
LATTER REPLY
CHAMP CLARK CENsURED BY
TWO CONGRESSMAN
Consideration Of Tariff Measure Con-
tinues with Small Attendance.
Payne Answers Many
Questions

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Feeling
among the Democrats in the house was
at fever heat today as a result Of the
rebuke the Democratic caucus delivered
| last night impersonally to the twenty
three "bolters" who voted for Fitz-
| gerald amendments to the rules COM
mittee.
|, Representative, Kelliher of Massa-
chusetts, one OF the recalcitrants, said
| that henceforth he would not recog-
nize Mr.. Clark as his leader.
Amy one who approves the appoint
ment of Representative Harrison to
| the ways and means committee one
day and two days later criticises the
appointment cannot be my leader,
said Kelliher.
Representative Fitzgerald said:
81 shall leave 1t to the country to
judge which of the two Democratic
members of the rules committee CLARK
or himself) more accurately, properly
and capably represents the true De-
mocracy of the country"
Meeting an hour earlier than usual,
the house continued consideration of
the tariff bill. 1t was expected that
Chairman Payne would consume sew
eral hours time in completing his open
ing speech and that Mr.. Clark of Mis-
souri,, the minority leader who would
follow, would likely continue the re-
mainder of the day. The senate was
not in session today.
When the house met there was a
slim attendance, which led Mr.. Macon
of Arkansas to suggest the absence
of quorum. AS Mr.. Payne was about
to continue his explanation of the tar
if bill the Arkansas member said he
should be given a full hearing. The
point was not pressed, however, and
Mr.. Payne took the floor.
Mr.. Payne was piled with questions
from all sides. Again he was asked,
this time by. Mr.. Moore of Pennsyl-
vania, If there would be an opportunity
to offer amendments to the bill in the
house "or," Mr.. Moore, added, must
we look elsewhere?" meaning the
senate.
"That," Mr.. Payne replied, sis en-
tirely in the judgment of the house
and in it's control"
In his replies, Mr.. Payne was de-
cidedly more aggressive than yester-
day. He became highly indignant
when Mr.. Garrett of Tennessee In
auired if, taking the bill as whole,
it wassnot revision upward"
",rhe gentleman has no right to say
that" the Republican leader sharply
announced. st is not fair to say that
as an honorable man."

SACRAMENTO, March 23.-The COM
mittee substitute offered by the senate
committee on federal relations asking
congress to enact a general Asiatlc eX-
clusion law Qncluding Japanese) was
favorably reported in the assembly
this afternoon by Chairman Johh

Roosevelt, moved the adoption or the

down to failure.
The fight for the direct primary has

Altogether the success of the direct
primary measure may be said to be
the hardest blow dealt by the closing
legislature at the S. p. and its vener-
able political gang.
Both branches devoted the morning
to motions for reconsideration and to
third reading file. There was barely
q quorum in each house.
The substitute offered by the COM
mittee was passed late this afternoon.
Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento,
author of the Japanese school segrega-
ton bill, that aroused vigorous opposi-
ton from President Roosevelt, moved
the adoption of the resolution.
Lieutenant Governor Porter appointed
this morning Senators e. 1. Wolfe, John
p. Hare and Richard J. WEIGH, all of
San Francisco, as members of COM
mission to investigate the increase in
the price of food and the cost of living
in California.
The appointments were made by au-

Senator Wolfe.

man Wheeler, only we want to beat
Alexander In ordinary times none OF
us would be caught voting the Socialist
ticket as their beliefs are not for us
but right now there is only one thing
to be done, and that is beat Uncle
George as the recall people name him
If we succeed in electing Wheeler, then
we can turn to the people Of Los An
geles and tell them to look what the
recall has done for them-put a So
cialist at the head of the city govern
ment.
THE word has gone down the line all
right, and we are out for Wheeler.
There is another thing. The gang
couldn't hope to beat Alexander by
writing in the name of another man on
the ticket. That would split up the
vote, and besides there are several hun
dred or maybe thousand of the machine
voters who can't; write their names.
Those fellows will be rounded up bright
and early, under the new orders, and
will be taken to the polls. Although
they can't write they will be able to
stamp a cross in the circle opposite
Wheeler's name. In that way the big
boss has great hopes of defeating Alex

world that the recall has resulted IN
the election OF a Socialist mayor OF
Los Angeles.
Assurance is given by the. machine
leaders that all the pro-vice influences
will be lined up behind Wheeler IN the
election Friday. While this assistance
NAV not be particularly acceptable TO
the Socialists, one of whose tenets or
