The Texas Legislature has been
ridiculed for years because it once
made a law providing that when
two trains approach crossing from
opposite directions both shall come
t. q full stop, and neither shall pro
coed until the other has passed" It
was about the limit in hasty legis-
lation, but it was nearly equalled in
the United States Senate the other
day, when an amendment to the
revenue bill was introduced under
which large incomes would have
been subjected TO a tax Of 1O5 per
cent? The Senator had merely
overlooked the fact that incomes
were already subject TO taxation.

Price fixing can hardly fail to
benefit the railroads. 1t is estimated
that the saving in their coal bills
alcne will amount to more than $780,
100000. while if, as is expected,
Jrices for steel are greatly reduced,
the saving on purchases Of equip
ment and supplies would be enor-
nous. With traffic at capacity, ef-
ficiency in transportation gaining
every day, and much unnecessary
and wasteful passenger service elm
mated, the outlook for the railroads
was, to say the least, decidedly
promising. The reduction Of prices
adds another factor making for
period of prosperity which proba-
bly, will exceed anything ever wit
ressed in the past.

the amount Of this country's Internal
annual commerce could be known some
idea could be given Of the amount o.
real commercial paper which could be
based upon such tremendous volume
Of transactions. II the big credits or
open book accounts of the country
were converted into trade acceptances,
il would make an enormous total and
this credit in negotiable form would
greatly strengthen the credit re-
sources Of the country.
at is estimated that from two 70
three times the volume OF business can
be done on the same capital by the
use OF trade acceptances instead o:

done safely and conservatively, all OF
