Destruction of Texas Industries

John Davis, attorney, chairman com
mittee on Federal railway regulation,
Linz building. Dallas has been flooding
the State with circulars urging Texans to
write their representatives in congress
and instruct them to vote for measures
aiming at the establishment of Federal
control Of intrastate a. well as of inter-
state commerce., and the destruction of
State rate regulating agencies.
Mr.. Davis does not take the public into
his confidence and show il the springs
that energize the machinery of the ''com-
mittee on Federal railway regulation
But, inasmuch a. his circulars bear the
signatures of certain concerns which take
orders in Dallas for implements and sup
plies that are manufactured in other
States and shipped to Texas consumers
from the factory, it j. easy to fathom the
committees" motives. ? Federal control
of common carriers as eyemplified in the
freight tariffs based on the interstate
mme commissioners orders in the
Shreveport ease, which went into effect
on November /. is exactly what Mr.. Davis
and his committed want

ifs are not cancelled. Texas distributors

have to give up much Of the trade they
have heretofore enjoyed. All of which
