FFIC|ALS URGE
SALE Of TEXAS
STATE RAILROAD
Line Is Now Being Operated
at a Considerable Loss
and the Property Is In a
Run Down Shape.
tBy The Associated Press.l }

Austin, Texas, March s6.--Sale
of the state railroad, built, owned
and operated by the state of Texas
and lying between Palestine and
Rusk, has been recommended by
both Governor Pat M. Neff and
Lieutenant Governor Lynch David
son. Governor Neff recommended
the sale or lease of the road, while
Mr.. Davidson said that the rail-
road should not be abandoned, or
junked, but should be rehabiltated
and sold under terms that would
require its continued operation.
Communities and industries
have been built along this line and
the abandonment of the road would
leave them isolated and destroy
them" the lieutenant governor
said Texas should not set the
example of tearing up its own rail-
road and bringing financial loss or
ruin to the farmers, Industries, set
Elements and towns along its right
of way, and dependent upon it's
operation, when the state enforces
laws to prevent private corpora
tions from thus abandoning a line
or even disseminating single
train.
THE state has operated it's rail-
road at considerable and con-
tinuous loss and the property is in
IA rundown shape. However, the
taxable values incident to it's opera
ton have been increased and will
more than offset the amount which
will be necessary to put the road in
such shape that it can be sold and
kept in operation. Money neces-
sary to rehabilitate the road, if put
into it now, will not be lost, if the
road should be put into proper
hands and conducted on the same
basis as private business, but
such sums would be amply repaid
to the state in the increased taxa
Bile values resulting from its ope-
ration.
"The legislature should provide
sufficient funds to rehabilitate this
road and put in into such shape
that it can be sold. The contract
for its sale should provide that the
owners will never abandon it or
discontinue its Operation and fur
thermore it should be brought un-
der the present laws that forbid
other owners to withdraw their
train service from sections depend
ent on rail transportation.
1.-THE road should be taken out
of the hands of the, prison COM
mission and placed in charge of
the railroad commission or some
other agency under which it will
be put on an efficient footing and
kept on such a basis until the state
soils it. I do not consider it with
in the province of a states govern
ment to run a railroad under the
jurisdiction of any of its depart
ments or branches and the losses
and failure to make this road self
sustaining in a section that has
been built up since the road was
laid shows the fallacy of the states
undertaking to become a business
agency"

CONF FERENCE ON
TRANSIT To Be
HELD IN SPAIN
viii Plan to Eliminate Some
of the Difficulties Which
Hamper Handling Of Pas
SengerS and Freight.
fRx The Assnclnted Press.D

London, March 6-The chief
task of the international confer
ence on communications and tram
sit, which win be held al Barcelona,
spain, on March 10, will be to
draw up a series Of international
conventions intended to eliminate
some of the difficulties and re-
strfctions which now hamper in
ternatinnal transportation of pass
engers and freight. These con-
ventions, which are 10 be submitted
to the nations of the world for rat
ification, are expected to deal with
international transactions both by
railroads and by navigable water
ways and to define also the rights
of land-locked nations to have ac-
cess to seaports.
Needless National Barriers.
One situation with which the
conference will have particularly
10 deal is the transit of freight ana
passengers between two countries
across a third one. This affords
an opportunity for the middle
country. through which the traffic
has to pass, to collect a heavy toll
on such traffic. 1t is asserted that
the arrangement of European
boundaries since the war has made
this situation worse than before,
One of the main factors of the
present economic and financial
crisis in some sections of Europe
is the needless national barriers
which check international trans
portation, with the result that in
some districts the people starve
while factories stand idle in others
for lack of material.
It will be the purpose Of the Bar
celOna conference to put an end to
this unnecessary hampering of in
ternational transit by giving this
problem u recognized international
standard.
The conference will not be re-
striCted to discussion and advice
but win be composed of officially
appointed delegates Of various ma
tions and will be equipped with
considerable power Of initiative
within its own sphere.
A Permanent Organization.
The conference is expected to
lay the basis for a permanent or
ganization which will act as q re-
current legislative body to deal
with all questions within its field.
1t is expected to take its place be-
side such bodies as the internatiOn-
al labor organization, international
health organization and the inter-
national economic and financial
conference.
There will be a standing COM
munications committee with head
quarters at Geneva. This will be
a body Of experts for the double
duty of advising the council of the
league of nations, and the inter
national court of justice on all
questions of communication and
transportation and also of acting
as mediator in all disputes relat-
ing to such questions so that they
may not become subject to local
proceedings until all efforts of a
.amicable adjustment had failed.
Gabriel HanotauX, former min
lister of foreign affairs of Italy, will
preside and will be assisted by vice
presidents from Italy, Holland,
Switzerland and Great Britain.
