was not one man among the company
that was drilling on the parade

elsewhere.
Suddenly the sergeant called out:
"All men who are fond Of music
take two paces forwardw
Instantly half dozen soldiers, with
visions Of getting a cushy Job in the
regimental band, stepped forward.
Now" roared the sergeant, you

ment Of Arthur Oakley and Dorsey
Askew, head Of local commercial

The state Legislature recently
raised the retail sale >tax on gasoline

Oakley and Dorsey pointed out that
ayiators not only receive no benefit

Evidence tending TO show that the
Gulf Coast railway has attempted to
hurt and destroy industries of Texas,
especially the sugar industry, was
given to the executive committee hand
ling San Antonio's fight, BIZ Z. a.
Yandell. general manager of the Cham
Der Of Commerce. in his address to
the committee Friday morning.
This was corroborated by L. a. Ell
bridge. owner Of the Sugarland and
part owner OF the s. A. L. q G.
railway. who stated that San Antonio
will never have fair play until an in
dependent line is built into the Rio
Grande valley.
Illness prevented the presence OF
both J. S. Pyeatt. president of the
Gulf Coast. and Jesse II. Jones. dircc-
Tor of the I.-G. n. but meeting
with these two officials has been ar
ranged by the chamber for Tuesday.
March %. at 10 80.
Cites From the Record.
sThe consolidation of the LEG. y.
and the Gulf Coast railway would
place the Rio Grande valley in the
death grip Of discrimination as prac-
ticed in that section by the Gulf Coast
in the past" Mr.. Eldridge stated. "The
only salvation will be the construc-
ton of an independent line. l am
opposed to the merger because i be-
lieye that it would operate to the det-
riment of the entire state. and do
not think that the time is ripe for
railroad monopolies in Texas. We need
&hav hO-ra
and we must not surrender our fu-
ture TO consolidation of railroad
power"
Some rather startling testimony was
given to the executive committee by
Mr.. Yandell. and the context of this
evidence will probably figure promi-
ncntly in the hearing of the merger
fight, in Austin. Officials of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce
have delved into history of the Gull
Coast Lines. as il appears on public
records. and have prepared evidence
attempting TO prove that the pollcy of
the Gulf Coast has been to destroy
Texas industry in favor. of New Or
leans. In part, the body of Mr.. Yam
dell's testimony follows:
Handicap and Harass.
'It is The purpose of the San An.
tonic Chamber of Commerce to allesC
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and 10 substantiate with the
records on file in the state railroad
commission. that the policy of the
Gulf Coast Lines is to handicap aul
harass the industries of Texas rather
than to assist in their upbuilding. On
