CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
THE eRAVEsT ENeLIsHMAN.
BY a. w. MACY.


At c critical moment during
the battle OF Waterloo the sue
cess Of the allies seemed to de-
pend upon the Instantaneous
closing Of the gates Of the vii
lape Of Hougomont. They were
promptly closed In the most
courageous manner and In the
very nick Of time, by Sir James
Maedonnell. In after years an
English gentleman willed the
sum Of $500 ito the braVest
man In England" The execu-
tors Of the estate appealed to
the duks Of Wellington, who
told them the story Of Sir James
Macdonald, and said, "F1e 10
the man 10 whom you should
pay the 2 800" But when they
went TO Sir James he said, ~
cannot claim all the credit for
closing the gates Of HoUeo-
mont. Ny sergeant, John Ora
ham, seeing with me the irnpoF-
lance Of closing the gates,
rushed forward TO help me, and
BY your leave will share the
legacy with him"

Sues For Big Sums.

This little story may have present
day application. B. F. Looney, attorney
general of Texas, Is a staunch Demo-
crat but he believes in dealing in big
figures He adds ciphers to a sum
with a nonchalance that is appalling to
some corporations doing business In
Texas. He is suing the Standard Oil
company and its alleged Texas sub
salaries for Sos, 600, 600 and a few days
ago he filed q suit against the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas railroad for
SIS, 00o, 900. In both these cases, viola
tions Of the antitrust laws OF the
state are alleged. Besides these two
specially noteworthy suits, Mr.. Looney
has, during the period Of less than sew
en- months he has been at the head Of
the states legal department, instituted
proceedings in court against a number
of other corporations for penalties ag-
gregating several hundred thousand
dollars.
At the time Mr.. Looney became ac-
tive in his prosecution of corporations
for various alleged transgressions Of
the law, the state was beginning to en-
JOY a period Of rest from agitation OF
this character. The anti-corporation
political propaganda had its beginning
during the administration Of the late
governor James S. Hogg, more than 20
years ago. It continued with varying
degrees of intensity through several
administrations, but lost much of its
force with the election Of o. B. Col
quit as governor. three years ago.

stock and Bond Law.
The commission rigidly enforces the
stock and bond law which went into
effect in 1893. Under this law a rail-
road can not issue stocks and bonds
IN IN excess of its valuation as made by
the commission. There is attached to
the commission a department Of en-
cheering which is in charge Of
capable civil and mechanical engineer
whose duty it is to carefully inspect
and place value upon all railroad
property in thelstate. including tracks,
terminal facilities. depots, rolling
stock, etc. 1t is upon this valuation
that the bond issues are based.
Before the stock and bond law went
into effect stocks and bonds in exor-
bitant amounts were issued and stand
ing against the older roads in the
state. It kept these roads poor to pay
their fixed charges.
The stock and bond law requires that
all stocks and bonds issued by rail-
roads in Texas shall be upon author
ity and approval of the railroad COM
mission, and in order to legalize them
they must be registered in the office
Of the secretary of state of Texas
The limiting OF the stocks and bonds
TO the actual value of the railroad
property and the authority exercised
over all issues by the commission has
had the effect of greatly Improving
the standing of Texas railroad secur-
tiles in the stock markets of the
country.

stops RaIlroad RuIIdlng.

Irrespective of the court decision that
may be rendered in the case, the effect
upon the railroad situation in the state
is far reaching, 1t is asserted By the
business element. For several years
the people living in the broad stretches
Of territory in western Texas have
been clamoring for more railroads. The
settling up and development OF that
virgin region by farmers is being Sc
riously retarded by the lack Of rail-
road transportation facilities, 1t is
claimed. Under normal political con-
ditions there would probably be many
miles OF new railroad built in that
part Of the state. In the face of the
poratfons, as indicated in the suits
against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
and other railroads, it is not deemed
likely that capital can be obtained soon
for any great amount Of construction
work of this character.

other sum. 1t is commended by men
who are capable OF speaking authori-
tatiyely on the subject that all the
acts complained Of on behalf Of the
state against this railroad were sane
toned by the constitution and laws
Of the state. The outcome Of the suit
will be watched with no little interest,
however, not only by. many people in
Texas but by financial interests Of st
Louis, New York and other outside
cities. The same charges which are
made against the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas in this suit can be applied to the
Santa Fe, the Rock Island. the Frisco,
the Fort Worth & Denver City, the
Southern Pacific. and probably to 9TH
er roads of the state, 1t is claimed.
Should the pending suit result in the
FORGETTING of the charters of the de-
PENDANT company and its subsidies and
the collection of enormous penalties
as prayed for it would practically
bankrupt the property without the
state being the gamer. 1t is supposed
that such a result would naturally be
the forerunner Of similar proceedings
against many Of the other railroads of
the state.
