nection.

gressed to the stage of spreading the
rails in a few days, and running the
first standard gauge equipment over
the road. Mr.. Eldridge also said that
another $4,000 motor car is on the way

just looking over the country" He
mentioned E. Heller, prominent cotton
buyer of Switzerland. and said that she

How the bill was passed is told in
a special dispatch from Austin to the
Herald
The bill, known as senate bill 417
was taken up in regular discussion in
place Of house bill on the same sub
ject, which was killed some time before
the Legislative trip to the Valley.
Opponents of the bill first endeavor-
ed by various parliamentary rules to
prec de consideration. Representative
E. c. Grey of Lipscomb raised the point
of order that the bill was not being act
ed on in the regular order. He was
overruled. Representative W. D. Nc
Farlane Of Young stated that the pro-
ponenents of the bill were endeavoring
to bring the bill up and then move the
previous discussion. thus preventing
further discussion before the vote was
taken.
Faux Speaks
The discussion of the bill was opened
by Representative Faulk of Browns
vile, who brought to the attention o;
the legislature two points of law which
he said had been raised by members of
the house. The first question was the
constitutionality of such bill. "There
is no doubt of the contitutionality OF
this bill, for the reason that the supreme
court has passed upon this question in
the case of Aransas Pass versus Keel
ing" he stated. "Objection has fur
ther been raised by some of the mem
bers by reason of the fact that Cam
eron county has one of the lowest coun-
ty tax rates in the state. 1t is true
but ii must not be forgotten that Cam
eron county is developing not through
its county organization. but through its
district organization, and that when it
is considered that in addition to the
state and county taxes. the farmers of
Cameron county are paying drainage
bonds, school bonds, water tax bonds,
and water and drainage maintenance
taxes, it will be seen that they are
bearing the heaviest burdens of any
