The petition states that the presi.

CONTEST IN OFFICE;

Correspondents Predict
Who Will Succeed
Two Mayields.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 24.-Newspaper
correspondents were given a chance
Saturday by Governor Neff to guess
VINO the two new members of the Tex
as Railroad Commission will be, when
he called the news-gatherers into his
private office and announced that he
would name the two new commission
ers Monday, for at that time Earle
b. Mayfield is to tender his resigna-
ton as one of the commissioners.
Each correspondent was given
card, on one side Of which was type
written: .
"who do you think the governor
will appoint as members of the CONS
mission?"
On the reverse side was written
~Were you governor, who would
you appoint?" IT,
The newspaper men each wrote his
choice and made guess as TO who
are to be the lucky ones. The gov
ernor glanced at each card, smiled as
much as to say, "all wrong
He then proceeded to describe the
two men who are to succeed the two
Mayfields. One was a salaried man
about 40; the other heavily inter
ested in the shipping business, about
$50. Both were available; neither
one had ever held or sought public
office. and both were relinquishing po-
sitions that netted more than the
$4,000 that is paid annually to each
Of the members of the Railroad Com
mission.
The governor kept the cards on
which the newspaper men had made
their guesses for future reference.
The appointment of the two new COM
missioners will be made effective on

TEXAS WOOL PRICES
MAY GO TO so CENTS
PER POUND IN 1928
Texan Appears Before |.
c. c. in Behalf of
Orient Railroad.

;, San Angelo, Tex. Feb. 24.-ANool
commission men in Boston and Phia-
delphia believe that the 1928 spring
production of long, twelve months
wool in Texas will bring an average
of so cents pound, with. choice lots
considerably higher. The wool grower
should fare better than since 1920,
when long wool was bringing IS cents
a pound before the market entirely
disappeared in May.
T. This is the report brought back by
Col. c. c. Walsh, who spent several
weeks in the East in the interest of
the Central National bank, OF which
he is president, and the Wool Growers
Central Storage company. He says al
most prohibitive tariff continues to
steady the market. Business in gen
eral in the East is'booming, with mills
running full blast, buyers numerous,
prices higher, particularly on cotton
and wooden products, and money
plentiful, though better collateral is
being demanded and interest rates
are q fraction higher than six months
ago.
Permanent relief to the Orient
railroad is expected TO result through
the bill introduced last Saturday by
Senator Sheppard and Congressman
Hudspeth in lieu Of the Lynch David
son plan for the rehabilitation of the
crippled line, which the Interstate
Commerce Commission turned down.
Colonel Walsh left his business in
New York and appeared in Washing
ton before both the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the /. c. c.
committee of the Senate. He empha-
sized the vitalness Of action to save
the Orient from the junk pile and
says that the /. C. c. members and
many congressman said they recogniz-
ed the plight Of the country served
by the Orient and appeared willing
to take any reasonable steps to keep
trains running in the public interest.
IL the measure outlined by Chair
man B. NJ. Myer of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and introduc-
ed a week ago is adopted, the /. C. c.
will be authorized to loan the Orient
$3,O00,000 and remit interest on il
and on a loan of 81, 100000 made in
1920, for period Of twenty years.
There appears no possibility of the
measure being adopted by this Con-
gress, Colonel Walsh says, unless the
rule of unanimous consent is invoked

HIGH RAILROAD RATES
WILL NOT BE CHANGED,
ACCORDING TO ice.
Nations Carriers Must
First Earn S "a Per
Cent on Valuation.

Washington. ID. C.. FEB. 24.--Pres-
ent high railroad rates must continue
in effect until the nations carriers
earn approximately "a per cent on
their valuation, the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission declared today in
its annual survey of railroad opera
ton.
Declaring that in 1922 the roads
failed to earn enough, despite great
increase in net earnings over 1921,
the commission held that present
rates, combined with a continuance
of the great Flow of traffic which COM
menced late in the past year, was the
only hone of the roads attaining the
reasonable return in 1923.

NEW ORGANIZATION
TO ENABLE FARMERS
TO CONTROL PRICES
Gigantic Combination Will
Put Agriculturist
in Saddle.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Feb. "a
Farmers may control prices on their
own products under an organization
launched by A. @. Townley, here to-
day.
A gigantic combination under the
name of the National Producers Al
lance is proposed. Twelve states will
be organized at once.
The purpose of the organization, it
was made known, is to enable farmers
to cooperate in controlling produc-
ton and marketing Of grain in par
ticular, and other products when. de-
sirable. Precinct, county, state and
national units would be resumed.
Through quarterly conferences farm
ers would be able to engage acreage
Of all crops. Farmers would keep
the most accurate possible statistics
of acreage and production costs. These
figures would be sent to headquarters
where statistical information and ad-
vice would be framed and broadcasted.
Plans also were laid TO prevent
farm loans coming due on October /,
as is the general practice. The fact
that notes generally must be paid then
forces farmers to dump huge quanti-
ties of grain on the market on that
date. Under the Townley plan, ar
engagements would be made whereby
notes would come due over q period
of time extending through the winter.
This would enable the farmers to sell
their crop whenever there was good
market.
The eleven states where organiza-
ton will begin at once are : Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Montana,
Arkansas, Idaho and Colorado. One
man from each of these states was
appointed to the national executive
committee

ant Gilruth was aide to Brig. Gen.

and evidently had a bunch that he

every time he overheard statement

of the C. NJ. 7. c. students regarding
their military training, he made note
of it. He overheard quite few Of
such statements, and has compiled
them in a bulletin that is being dis
tributed widely over the Eighth Corps
Area among prospective c. NJ. Il. c.
students for the 1923 camps which are
to be held at Fort Sam Houston, Fort
Sill, Oklahoma Fort Logan, Colorado,
and Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
Some of the statements printed in
the bulletin are:
