it's second place to the sweet girl
graduates Of the San Francisco
High school.

The one I asked is pretty as a

She was very, very patient with

the very idea!

i am going to be a great news

murder trials, divorce cases, politi-

husband, but he needn't expect ME
to give up my work to look after

To OPPOSE the Differential

A statewide organization has been formed and
rs being financed for a finish fight on the lrelght
iifferential in all parts of Texas.
The organization is being sponsored by Y. .
,awkett. traffic manager Of the South Texas ChaHl-
Der Of commerce with offices at Corpus Chrlstl
The differential is an extra charge aooeo W
freight rates, Theoretically for the purpose OF en-
,b,inr railroads to earn a fair return on business
which comes from sparsley settled territory Inc
beorv is that this business usually is in such volume
ind is hauled such great distances that the regular
on-miIe charge will not enable the carriers to OPP
rate at a profit.
A differential was applied to Valley products ana
o shipments into this territory when the st. Louis
brownsville and Mexico railway was completed mVo
Brownsville in 1904.
Tber there were only a few scattered small settle
ns,t. end agricultural DEVELOPMENT had barely be-
yun. Consequently there were few cars OF 1rlght
coming into the territory and probably even fewer cars
going out.
Then it Is doubtful II any railroad could have
,nerated without a differential charge and continued
o exist.
Quite likely the total income Of the st. Louis
srownsv,lIe and Mexico was far below its costs OF
n~neration in those days. However, there has been
| rapid and continual change in these conditions
4 Today the traffic rensity out OF the valley Is SAID
O compare favorably with any agricultural section
IL the United States and to lead the density created
n many urban centers.
The freight traffic into the Valley made a like
Increase during that 25-year period.
It is doubtful If collection of a differential on any
Valley commodity can be defended by any reason
bile argument.
The removal Of this charge would enable Valley
produce to compete with other fruit and vegetable
,rowing centers in a much wider radius. 1t would
mean a saving of many hundred thousand dollars

he fund which will be used to seek removal Of the
)iifferential. On the surface it appears this would
be q splendid investment.
