To Oppose the Differential

A statewide organization has been formed ana
Is being financed for a finish fight on the lreight
differential in all parts of Texas.
The organization is being sponsored by U. s.
Pawkett. traffic manager of the South Texas Cnam-
her Of commerce with offices at Corpus Christi
The differentiai is an extra charge adoeo 10
freight. rates. Theoretically for the purpose OF en-
abline railroads to earn a fair return on business
which comes from sparsley settled terriCory' u
theory is that this business usually IS In sucn VOLUME
and is hauled such great distances that tne resuiai
ton-mile charge will not enable the carriers 70 op-
crate at a profit.
A differential was applied to Valley products and
r. SHIPMENTS into this territory when the st. Louis
brownsville and Mexico railway was completed INTO
Brownsville in 1904.
Then there were only a few scattered small settle-
rnents and agricultural development had barely pc
gun. Consequently there were few cars OF lrighC
coming into the territory and probably even fewer cars
going out.
Then it is doubtful If any railroad could have
Generated without a differential charge and continued
Ito exist.
quite lkeIv the total income of the ST. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico was far below its costs OF
|operation In those days. However. there has ceen
Ia rapid and continual change in these conditions.
Today the traffic rensity out of the Valley is said
Ito con1pare favorably with any agricultural section
LOT the United States and to lead the density created
lin many urban centers.
The freight traffic into the Valley made a ike
increase during that 25-year period.
It is doubtful If collection of a differential on any
VALLEY commodity can be defended by any reason
able argument.
The removal of this charge would enable Valley
produce to compete with other fruit and vegetable
Iproving centers in a much wider radius. 1t would
mean q saving of many hundred thousand dollars
and would decrease the spread between the price
paid to the grower and the grice paid by the con-
|sunier for Valley truck.
The Valley has been asked to subscribe $4,000 to
|khe fund which will be used to seek removal Of the
differential. On the surface 1t appears this would
be o splendid investment.

Washington Letter
Nv G.. NJ

WASHINGTON, April 22.-When the department
of agriculture's new administration building is COM
pleted in May, 1880, a dream of 90 years will be real
lied and a persistent feud for as many years will be
ended.
Completion Of the beautiful structure will mark
the elimination Of the dream Of every secretary Of
agriculture since the time Of James Wilson, in the
Roosevelt administration. FINS will be written as
well to one of the liveiest scraps congress has ever
had with a department Of the government.
1t all started back in 1903 when congress appro-
priated ~s1.500,ooo for the construction of a building
to house the department of agriculture.
James Wilson was secretary Of the department at
the time. Under his administration two wings Of the
building were constructed. Objection was raised at
the time by several members Of congress to the way
the buildings were being erected. They contended
when the mall was leveled and improved the struc-
ture would suffer.
AS a matter Of fact the mall, the government park
area extending south from the White House to the
Potomac river, has not undergone such Improvement.
s
HALTED BY
Construction Of the administration building, de-
signed to connect the two wings, was halted during
the controversy. 1t was not until 20 years later that
the work again was taken up. Plans for the build
ing drawn in 1908 were cast aside and new ones sub
stituted.
Az AS(AOSNAAS ~ AOOS S@6S
building when completed will have cost the govern
ment 100000. This is s5oo.ooo more than congress
appropriated for the two wings back In 1903, and
there is nothing like the same amount Of floor space.
1t was rather an expensive bit Of pickering.
There was another disagreement that arose when
the two wings of the building were being constructed,
and although Of a minor nature is worth mentioning.
ss
LATIN S. ENGLISH
Inscriptions on the building were to have been in
Latin. Secretary Wilson couldn't reconcile the fact
that an American government building should bear
inscriptions in a dead language, and ordered them
carved in English.
A feature of special interest on the facade of the
administration building will be the entablature, the
long panel resting upon the capitals of the columns.
On this will be engraved three Inscriptions selected
by ex-Secretary Jardine as appropriate to the nature
of the purpose for which the building exists.
The first is by st. Paul:
THE husbandEnan that laboreth must be partaker
of the fruits"
The second is by Abraham Lincoln:
mo other human occupation opens so wide a field
for the profitable and agreeable combination of labor
with cultivated thought as agriculture"
The third is by George Washington: With refer
lence either to individual or national welfare, agricul-
'ture Is OF primary Importance

The Once Over
OPENING THE TROUT SEASON
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

Dear Editor
Well, I was among those participating in the open
ing of the trout season and as a survivor, who was
trampled on in the rush, I can assure you that
the attendance, as they would say in the BASEBALL
world, broke all records. I never saw the brooks
so filled with people. I was a long time finding
a brook I could enter as most of them had capacity
attendance at sunrise.
The brook had started out to fish was described
to me as being in a place called Easton, but I couldn't
locate it until I finely knocked on a farm house
door and asked the lady if she knew of any trout
brook in the vicinity. There's a little one down
the road a piece" she replied, but you'll never be
able to get into it. There was a steady stream OF
and buses by here as early as sunrise
and I've seen a lot of fishermen coming back. They
said the brooks were filed and there was no room
for any more fishermen"
ss
Wei I went along by the brook and found 1t so
packed with anglers that the state fish wardens
had been called to s~traighten out the traffic con-
gestion. They finally got some semblence OF order
and after a hard fight Strengthened things out by
ordering the fishermen to move in two lines OF traf-
-fic, all fly fishermen moving four abreast upstream
and all worm fishermen moving four abreast down.
I kept on all monring along roads packed
with parked cars until along about noon I found
a stream in which there was a little standing room
for a thin man. There had been a big crowd here,
too, and some fishermen had stood in line all night.
I heard, but at this particular moment one or two
fishermen were about to quit, and a Spectator was
offering their space to newcomers. The bidding was
lively but I won and managed to squeeze in be-
tween two fishermen who were having a hot argu-
ment, one of them claiming that the other was
standing on his foot.
"Quit your showing" one Of them said to me as
I tried to make a cast.
who's shoving?" I demanded. Why don't you
move up and let somebody else have a CHANGER"
- .
Well, one word led to another, and there was a
pretty hot argument. Other fights were going on
all about us and the noise was deafening. Finally a
member of the state constabulary came along the
road on his motorcycle and shouted to the mob In
the brook that If they didn't make less noise he'd
arrest them. The neighbors had complained.
ss
day hoping the congestion would ease up, but 1t
didn't and about dusk I quit, with a twisted ankle
and a scar where another fisherman had punched
me in the nose. When I got out of the brook and
started to take my rod apart I discovered 1t wasn't
my rod at all. In the confusion some other fellows
rod had got into my hand and mine had got into
his. AS it was a better one than mine I said nothing.
sss
This going trout fishing the first day the law is
off is no fun and 7 am off it until they limit the at
tendence to something like 10000 per brook or widen
the stream.
