ope was not sealed when it was
turned over to the commissioners

box Griffin said six witnesses

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was back
today from a three months vaca-

Arriving with Mrs. Rockefeller
and their party aboard the Isle De

garding the removal of Col. Robert

THE action taken requires no
comment. 1t makes clear, however,
that the thoughtful investor esti-
mates the permanent and underly-

alone in terms of dividends, essen
tial as they are, but quite as much
in terms of the unquestioned in
tegrity and singleness of purpose

URGED
FOR COURT
SYSTEM

Three recommendation for mod.
ernization of United States law
courts were made by Alfred Bett.
man. of Cincinnati, in an address
to the American Judicature Society
at its annual banquet in the May
flower Hotel last night.
Bettman pied for the abandon.
ment OF short terms and small
salaries for judges: unification OF
the lower courts in the respective
states with the chief justice of the
State supreme court acting as a
supervisor, and the return to the
court of control over practice and
procedure.
Because of the work and the
variety Of duties judges are called
upon to perform, the courts are
crowded, BeGtman declared. The
mere addition Of more judges will
not relieve the situation, he declared,
and a reorganization of the court
structure is necessary.
The lawyers were urged to work
for control by the bar of admission
and discipline of members by Cur.
ney e. Newlin, Of Los Angeles.
The efforts of the American Law
Institute to bring about a "restate.
ment of the common law" were ex.

PROSPERITY AND THE RAILROADS

The railroads each year make an invaluable con-
tribution to the national welfare.
They furnish livelihood to one and three quarter
millions of employees.
They pay nearly three billions in wages which
purchase the comforts and necessities of life for a
tremendous number of American families.
They indirectly provide the employment for hun
dreds OF thousands OF other workers, who manufac-
tMe and distribute the products used in railroad
construction, maintenance and operation
They spend more than billion and quarter
dollars for materials and supplies.
They spend average of three-quarters Of a
billion for capital improvements
The social and industrial benefits resulting from
the expenditure of these vast sums hard to es-
innate. Every American citizen benefits, not only
from good transportation service that is the life
blood of commerce, but from the lines contribution
to the general financial existence of the nation Rail
road progress and prosperity are necessary to our
civilization.
It isn't the way we worship God that gets us in
bad with the Constitutions it's the way we serve
Mammon..
It shouldn't be difficult to find men that would
catch these liquor boats. We know plenty of them
who if they boatload of liquor going by, would
catch up with it if they had to SWIM

"Tom Cumming deserves medal

Persons who witnessed the rescue are endeavor

Cumming is rewarded.

While hundreds OF persons We're lined along the bank

Another Rank |. C.. c. Decision

A Santa Fe railroad extension project in Texas
calling for the expenditure of nearly 100000 and
the construction of 66 miles of line, failed to receive
the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. This commission was created by act OF con-
gress. It's members have been fed upon raw meat for
a long time. They have ~arrogated to themselves the
power of nine Mussoliris.
The Santa Fe had the money. the right Of way
and the endorsement of all the pepole in the section
calling for railroad facilities without delay. Why
should the I. c. C. be permitted to block the railroad
building game in Texas or elsewhere? Texas is an
empire commonwealth. Many sections need addi-
tional railroad mileage.
In this so-called land of liberty, builders who have
the money and who see rich dividends in the dis
lance should not be compelled to 60 to Washington
to obtain permission of a bureau, as autocratic as the
ancient Rornanoffs, to carry on their programs in
the interest and for the benefit of wealth makers
who have invaded a new country.
Texas isn't Vermont or Rhode Island or Delaware.

The End Of the Session

AS the session of the Texas legislature draws near
the close 1t Is becoming increasingly apparent that
many measures of great import to the state VIII Gle
on the calendar unless unprecedented enrgy IS dis
playd during the last days. And even in the event
the legislature can accomplish the major part OF the
work set out for them, many of the measures Will
contain numerous defects due to lack OF proper con-
sideration. And the next session will be called upon
to devote much time TO curing these defects.
The game of politics has proved more interesting
for some of the leaders than enactment OF legislation
From the day the legislature convened various sec
tional leaders have devoted their energies toward per-
sonal political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. There has been no
cooperation between leaders or sections. and 1t IS a
fact that the session has brought forth no leader ca
pable of securing the cooperation necessary to make
the session productive Of real results for the cltizenry
of Texas.
Thus far the accomplishments of the Forty-first
legislature have been almost negligible, and it is ap-
parent that the closing days will add very little to
that record. Never in the history of Texas has there
been a time when the state was In greater need Of
able leaders and wise legislation, and never before
have able leaders been so conspicuously lacking or the
legislature shown greater inclination to overlook the
