Beckett; Hobby Tells of
Blue RIDGE Farm.

Austin. Texas. Nay 27.-The state
saved s52.717 by paying a part Of the
crop as rept on lands leased by the
prison system from 1910 to 1916. testi-
fied J. H. Beckett. a former prison
commissioner, before the Blue Ridge
investigating committee today. in
1917 money rent would have been con
siderably less than a share of the
crop. He said that the commission
did not exercise the option TO pay
money rent because on August ] Of
each year, when-the decision had TO
be given, crop prospect did not justify
It. Other testimony OF the witness
drawn out by questions by the com
mittee. was a comparison Of farms
bought with the Blue Ridge farm
Governor Hobby testified that he
did not approve the purchase OF the
farm as recommended by the prison
commission because he thought the
state owned sufficient land. He said
that he first time he heard OF oil
DEVELOPMENT on the farm was after
the wen came in and when Walter
]. Crawford said that he wanted the
governor to ask the prison commits
sion TO enter a release Of the opllon

ing the release Of the option.

wage interests be adjusted now rath- CT than under conditions which they cannot certainly foresee.
 But I do not think that their un- easiness is well grounded. I antici pate that legislation dealing with the future of the railroads will, in ex- plicit terms, afford adequate protec- ton for the interests of the employees of the roads.
 But, quite apart from that, it is clear that no legislation can make the railways other than what they are, a great public interest. and it is not likely that the President of the United States, whether in possession and control of the railroads, or not will lack opportunity or persuasive force to influence the decision of questions arising between the man agers of the railroads and the rail- way employees.
 He Promises Justice.
 The employees may rest assured that, during my term of office, whether I am in actual possession of the railroads or not. I shall not fail to exert the full influence of the ex- ecutive to see that justice is done them.
 I believe, therefore, that they may be justified in the confidence that hearty cooperation with the govern ment now in it's efforts to reduce the cost of living will by no means be prejudicial to their own interests, but will, on the contrary, prepare the way for more favorable and satisfac- l tory relations in the future I con- fidently count on their cooperation in this time of national test and crisis
