ASKFAST TRAINS,
NOT CHEAP RATES
New Mexico Corporation
Commission Here to Get
Better Train Service.


Better train service rather than
cheaper railroad rates is what the peo-
pie Of New Mexico want. according to
Hugh h williams, Of the state cor
poration commission
Mr.. williams, with o. L owen, an
other member of the commission,
Ralph c. Ely, receiver for the New
Mexico Central railroad, and general
manager H. A CroOmer, are here TO
confer with general superintendent O.

service, If possible for the people OF
New Mexico, by getting a Ibetter con-
nection with the Southwestern trains
at Torrance, n. n
The members Of the New Mexico
corporation commission are making an
effort to obtain for the people Of their
state what they have repeatedly held
was more desired than a 3 cent rail-
road rates-a better train service
throughout the state When the legls-
lature passed a resolution calling on
the corporation commission for its rea-
sons why a 3-cent rate had not been
obtained. the answer was that the
commission was working for better
service, as it believed that this was
more desired at the present time in
New Mexicot than the lower rates per
mile.
Get Daylight Schedule.
To prove it, the commission is max
ing every effort to get better train
schedules Throughout the state, includ-
ing the connections TO Ell PssO from
Santa Fe and 70 th5 east The day
light train schedule from Santa Fe to
FL Paso over the Santa Fe railroad
was obtained by the commission and
has proved to be popular.
Accompanied by receiver Ely, who is
also a leading Republican politician
and former Republican state chairman,
and by geenral manager H A Croomer,
the two commissioners came to FL Paso
