Merger of Revenue

The consolidation Of the revenue col.
lection districts OF Dallas and Austin.
Tex, into one at Austin, has aroused
the ire Of many Texans, and Senator
Culbertson today called on President
Taft to determine II It were possible
for the order consolidating the dis-
tricts to be revoked.
It appears that the President Is given
authority to consolidate districts. but
II Is doubted that he has the right TO
re-establish districts. This question will
probably be turned over to the Depart.
ment OF Justice for decision.
The decision Of this question Will
affect several places In the country. az
four other cancellations were affected
at the same time the order was issued
IN Texas.
In every case political strife followed
the orders, as they not only wiped out
lucrative positions. but reduced the
