WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

LOus Cobolini is a most eloquent
man as a mathematician. He has the
knack of convincing people when he
starts in to cipher. To any man who is
willing to use his brain in matters that
concern him Mr.. Cobolini's article in
yesterdays Herald should carry convic-
ton as to the need Of deep water at
-BraZos Santiago. Conviction on that
point must carry with it conviction as
to the need of a tiddwatcr railroad from
Brownsville to the harbor al Point Is
abel.
Assuming We secure the needed har-
Dor facilities at that point. what may
we expect for the valley.
To get one hundred pounds Of freight
from New York TO Brownsville at. this
time costs all the way from $l.Sl to
ST. is, according to Class.
To get 100 pounds Of freight from
New York to Galveston, costs, III this
time, all the way from - cents. first
class. to IS cents. fourth class. involving
a difference. acccdine 10 class Of 100
cents to 20 cents. Can any Brownsville
citizen who knows anythign of the
freight business of the town-to say
nothing Of the valley at large. imagine
what hat difference would mean to the
town and the valley? For be it obServ-
ed it is actually as near. if moi nearer
by sea to BraZoS from New York than
it is to Galveston. 1t is not i saving
like that worth fighting for. forth huSt-
ling for? In that connection, let us not
forget that whatever is worth While is
worth fighting for.
Freight in carloads from New Norl
TO Brownsville costs from 81 cents &c
50 cents, according to class. From the
same point to Galveston a carload oi
freight costs from - cents to q ccntS
according to class. With deep water tho
ate should he the same to BraZos a>
to Galveston. Think what thai saving
of from 80 cents to - cents must mean
to the town to-thc Valley. Is il worth
fighting for? Is it worth busting for?

the railroad companies.
The dissolution Of certain large cor
porations like the American Tobacco
Company and the substitution for IL
of a number Of smaller companies was
a strong factor during 1912 in increas-
ing the amount of listings on the New
York Exchange. Almost equally IS pro-
nounced in this direction was the in
corporation Of business undertakings,
as. for example. the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works and Woolw orth Fiye-and-
Ten-Cent stores, which had previously
been conducted on a private basis. The
dissolution Of several voting trusts. as
of the International Mercantile COM
pany and the Seaboard Air Line Hold
ing Company. also increased the hota-
lion of new securities.
One of the most striking facts de-
veloped by the statistics is the large
growth in the listings of the securities
Of electric railway and lighting COM
panies. The issue for Richmond of $780,
eco. 900 was among the largest hota-
tions for this purpose during the past
year. This class of securities, together
with other public utilities. will prob
ably be considered favnrably by in
vestors in the immediate future. Rail-
road stocks and bonds will. OF course
be comparatively unpopular until the
carriers are successful in securing the
authority to advance freight rates. and
the securities of large class of in
dustrial corporations Will be looked
upon with uncertainty until the pro-
posed revision of the tariff has been
accomplished.
