Texas Railroad Decision
Boosts Bonded Warehouses

Recent action Of the Texas State
Railroad Commission, by which the
cotton concentration privilege was ex-
tended so as specifically to include
Federally bonded warehouses, should
serve as a stimulus to warehousemen
operating in Texas tafA place their
warehouses under til: asal ware
house act. Under this pre- the rail-
roads are required to apply the ex-
pense bills covering the local freight
from point of origin to the warehouse
to the bill of lading when the cotton
is shipped from the warehouse, on all
cotton moving between points in
Texas and originating within 100
miles of any Federaly-licensed ware
house in which the cotton is to be
stored, when the bills of lading bear
the notation "for warehousing."
The operation of the rule is best
explained by an example. Cotton
originating within 100 miles of Dallas
may be shipped to that city for stor-
age. A fiat short haul rate is charged
from the originating point to Dallas.
Later the cotton may be shipped to
Galveston for export When this ship.
ment Is made, the incoming expense
bill is applied to the outgoing, ship
ment, the charge being the through
rate from original shipping point to
Galveston. Thus credit is allowed
for the short haul charge from orig
inal shipping point to Dallas. The
rule is therefore to the shippers ad-
vantage since the through rate from
original shipping point to Galveston
is lower than a combination of rates
from original shipping point to Dal-
las and thence from Dallas to Calves
ton.

house of the chief of police of Hell.

Then he returned to Petrograd to be-
come proletarian dictator of Russia.
The story is told in the Moscow
Pravada by A. Schotmann, Finnish
Communist, who was delegated by the
central committee of the Soviet party
to find Lenine safer hiding place
than the haystack.
Schotmann writes that lie visited
Lenine in his haystack headquarters
each day carrying provisions and
newspapers. Leninc, he says. occu-
pied himself in writing documents for
world revolutionary propaganda and
drawing up resolutions to be adopted
by the Communist Party Congress
which held frequent meetings IN
Petrograd.
The police chase was becoming hot
and it was decided to move Lenine to
Finland. The future Premier shaved
off his beard and mustache and bought
a wig to hide his bald head. Schot
mann arranged with Il friend, an en-
gineer, to give him passage as fire
man on his locomotive.
After long march through the
swamps, they reached the railroad
and Lenine rolled up his sleeves and
fed firewood into the firebox while the
other members of the party tracelled
as passengers on the same train. At
the last Russian station on the Fin

detached the locomotive and took it
behind the station to take in water,
while the passengers passports were
examined. Just before the signal for
the trains departure, the locomotive
returned and in Is minutes Lenine
was safe on Finnish soil.
