The report of the Texas railway
commission just made public shows
that the income from operating the
roads in the state increased in 1908
over fifty per cent over 1907. The
gross income of the roads in 1907
was $45, SOC, 1882; in 1908 it was
$4S, O07 ,045.51, an increase of ST.
O97, 1888 The operating expenses
for 1907 were s36,2OO.OOS.67 and
for 1908. they were $S3,352. 66S.15,
decrease of s2.S47,340.52.
The net earnings for 1907 were So
709, 2SL25 and for 1908, $14,654,-
1916. an increase OF $4,945. 096.1I
during the latter year 1t will be
noticed, however. that the greater
part of the Increase was due, not to
increased business. though there was
some increase in traffic, but to de-
creased operating expenses.

times-and | blush as l say it-this
scandal monger has a proposition of

full of mud to fling at every other

best. So much of what little mental
capacity he has is taken up in dodg-

terday that it may suit today's con-
venience, that he as a rule finds him
self almost ready for the institutional
bug house. He has his hammer
out for every line of progress from
one end of the valley to the other.
And he always gets in his knock
that's his speciality. The better the
proposition, the harder he knocks.
BY the way did you ever notice
that the most clubs are under the
trees that bear the finest fruit?
The knocker, however, is not only
here but eyerywhere-see to be

EQUAL TO THE S7TUA-
TON.

Brownsville's progressive citizens
are coming to the front with proper
spirit in support of the sewer enter
prise. The list which is being cir
culated for subscriptions to the stock
of the company, which it is proposed
to organize for the construction of
this highly essential public utility,
has already enrolled number of
names for amounts which do credit to
the enterprise of the signers.
The proposition which the promo
tiers submit appears to be a fair one
1t has the endorsement OF some of the
most progressive and public spirited
citizens, and The Herald believes that
the franchise which will be asked for
from the city will be so worded as to
safeguard the best interests of the
city. If it should not do SO, the coun-
Gil will assuredly refuse to grant it or
have it so amended as to insure the
welfare of the city. There is no need
of saying more of the necessity for a
sewerage system. Every intelligent
citizen is convinced that without it,
there can be no further progress for
the city. 1t is merely a question of
how to secure the improvement The
proposed enterprise shows the -t Wssy.
