GENTLEMEN TO
 TRY TO SOLVE
 N|EATPR0BLEM

FORT WORTH, Texas, March (by Associated Press) When the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, often termed "the richest organization per capita in the world" meets in Hous- ton on March 16, in annual session, a solution of the meat price question will be offered by a committee headed by President w. w. Turney of Ell Paso.
 This committee is at work on a meat market plan, modelled on market conducted at Amarillo last fall by cat tlemeen, and which was declared a success in so far as it reduced the price to the consumer and helped the cattlemeen, too. It was this Pan handle experiment that led Marion Sansom of Fort Worth, formerly presi- dent of the Texas association, to sug- gest the experiment for the entire state.
 Sansom also laid his plan before the American National Livestock Associa- tion, which met in yearly conference recently at Spokane.
 It is the intention of the cattlemen's committee to recommend that a chain of retail markets be distributed through Texas and that the cowmen sell direct to them from the range, the butcher shops doing their own slaughtering.
 Should the plan be adopted at the Houston convention a committee must be appointed to carry out the sug- gestion.

THE BUS VETO

COME of the objections expressed by
~ Mayor Moore yesterday when he
vetoed the ordinance designed to permit
the establishment of a notorious line on
Broad street are valid. Some are not.
But on the whole the veto was justified
because the terms proposed by the bus
company were unfair and unreasonable.
Under the terms of the ordinance a
fifteen cent fare might have been
charged for a single ride and the city
would have been required to take over
the lines and the equipment If the ven
ture did not prove financially success
full for its hackers. No such guarantees
are usually asked by financiers seeking
the benefits of valuable franchise. And
few bus lines ask or receive fifteen cent
fares.
1t ia in his references to conditions
of traffic on Broad street that the Mayor
reveals a lack of enthusiasm for motor
lines in general. 1t will be regrettable
IL the tone Of his veto message discour-
ages others who may desire to provide
a greatly needed service in this city. If
there isn't room on Broad street for n
modern motorbus line room ought to be
provided, even IL some of the heavy
commercial traffic has to be diverted.
IL the Mayor is in a mood to bar all
such projects because of sympathy for
the =. X. T. he will find few people TO
understand or excuse his state of mind.
