OPPOSED. TO MERGER.
Hariingen Residents Vote to Stand
Back Of San Antonio i'm Fight.

posed to such merger and proceeded
to inform the valley that if such n
merger were attempted that the peo-
from start to finish. l.. j. Hart, San
Antonio business man. said that San
Antonio stands for ono thing and that
the interests back of the merger stand
for another and that the battle is not
new one in any way.
Ochse Voices DisfavOr.
William Ochse and John Cunning
ham of San Antonio. both voiced that
city's disfavor of such a merger. The
officials of the Gulf Coast Line pres
ent would not say much. They stated
that the Gulf Coast Lines is forming
the consolidation not 10 hurt the val
ley but to help it. In case the merger
is approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. the Gulf Coast
Lines will extend its present system
from Laredo TO Rio Grande City. con-
Meeting with present Gulf Coast
branch lines and thus encircle the val
ley.
Officials say that this will make
the investment of bonds for another
railroad very unattractive and would
prevent its being financed. The meet
ing formed itself into a debate between
the parties for and against the pro-
posed consolidation.

ADMINISTRATION TOO
EXTRAVAGANT, SAYS
JUDGE J. M. SCOTT
Too Many Men on Payroll
of This State, He Tells
Insurance Men.

The state administration is too ex-
travagant and carries too many men
on the payroll, in the opinion of Judge
John NJ. Scott. commissioner OF in
surance. who was one of the principal
speakers at the Life Insurance Sales
Conference which is being held here
under the auspices Of the Life InSur-
ance Managers Club of San Antonio.
More than 200 life insurance men
from all over Texas were in attend
ance Friday morning. The conference
lasts through Saturday. W. T.. Bill
heimer. nationally known salesman
ager and salesman of st. Louis, is
conducting the conference.
Texas insurance companies are pay
ing too much TO the state in compari-
son with the service they are receiv-
ing. declared Judge Scott.
Mr.. Bilheimer. who began the in
surance business in Texas 22 years
ago, and who is here to conduct the
two-day sales conference. gave the
visiting insurance men some valuable
lessons in selling insurance. He spoke
on Fundamentals OF life insurance.
how TO get money with the applica-
ton, when TO get man examined,
three ways TO double your business.
and soliciting life insurance in coun-
try districts.
That most statesmen can not last for
more than seven minutes without re-
peating the same subjects. was one of
the things of interest brought to mind
by Mr.. Bilheimer. Instructions as to
overcoming obstacles when selling in
surance, were given by the speaker.
Eighty per cent of the statesmen of
insurance quit school in the grammar
school grades and % per cent of them
Bilheimsr. He illustrated this by ques-
tioning Che audience.
Mr.. Bilheimer convinced the audi
ence that n man hardly ever carries
too much insurance.

MANY DISCUSS PROPOSAL.
Gulf Coast Officials Perturbed Over
Situation.

Brownsville, Tex. March 1.-THE
vigorous campaign conducted by G. b.
Yandell. manager of the San Antonio
Chamber of Commerce, To crystalize
valley sentiment in opposition TO the
proposed merger of the Gulf Coast
Lines and the I.-G. N, has caused the
proposed merger to be the principal
topic for discussion, and valley resi-
dents declare in unequiyocal terms that
if the merger will prevent the building
of a railway connecting San Antonio
and the valley it must be defeated.
Road Paramount Issue.
1t is conceded in every community
that a San Antonio Rio Grande rail-
way is the paramount proposition be-
fore the valley. and that any move on
the part of the Gulf Coast Lines which
would jeopardize plans for the con
struction of such a line is inimical to
the valleys interests.
That the Gulf Coast Lines execu-
tives are greatly perturbed over the
situation was evidenced by the fact
that they appeared Mt eech Of the Yam
dell meetings. and sought TO make
defense OF the merger plan, stating

Brownsville. Tex. March IA
Noicing the sentiment of the Rio
Grande Valley as opposed 70 any move
which, would endanger the valley s
chance TO secure direct rail connec-
tons with San Antonio. the valley
wide meeting at Weslaco. after hear
ing n prolonged and sometimes heated
DEBATE between c. i. Yandell. man
ager of the San Antonio Chamber of
Commerce. and executives of the Gulf
Coast Lines, passed the following reso-
luton:
Oppose Merger.
"Resolved that we will oppose the
purchase of the I-G. \. railway by
the Gulf Coast Lines, if the purchase
will in any way hinder or interfere
with obtaining new railroad into
the valley. A resolution previously
introduced and passed pledged the val
ley-wide meeting to cooperate with
any group of capitalists who will
build a railroad into the Rio Grande
Valley"
W. G. Choate. general manager of
the Gulf Coast Lines, made the adj
mission that his company will oppose
any plan for another line into the
valley. and created something of a
sensation when he stated "if / were
in your place would want new
road, too" He asserted. however.
that the merger would not affect the
building of line from San Antonio
to the valley.
Committee to Meet.
Brownsville is the only point in
which meetings were held that has not
definitely gone on record as being
against the merger, but it is under
stood that the committee appointed at
the meeting Tuesday night will call
a general meeting within a week to
pass resolu ions. Petitions have been
circulated here setting forth the city's
opposition to the merger plan. and
these have been generally signed by
business men.
