administration of tho city's affairs
must be shaped up and all the machin-

Once this is done It will be easy sail-

WATCHING LEGISLATION.
5lore and more it is being brought
home to the minds of thinkins? people
that some steps ruuat be taken to safe-
guard the many diverse interests and
especially those of the i>eople them-
selves from legislation that is harmful.
An effort is being made to do this In
Wisconsin and New York and it Ua
meeting with success.
Under the heading "The People's
Lobby," the San Antonio Express In
a recent Issue said:
Experiments have been made in
Wisconsin and New York in maintain-
ing in the legislature a "people's lob
by** to look after the laws proposed
and keep a check on the lawmakers.
The plan has worked out most success-
fully and bids fair to becomc one of
the checks on legislation Justified both
by efficiency and expediency.
The People's Lobby la New York is
maintained by the Citizens' Union of
New York City, and looks after legis-
lation affecting that city especially.
The lobby consists of a uhr.lrman and
secretary and clerks and stenograph-
ers. Their business is not to button-
hole members an'l force legislation
through, but merely to study the exact
meaning of each bill and each amend
ment. and to act as a bureau of public-
ity to Inform the public of the con-
tents of the same.
Legislation I? a highly technics!*
matter and the average citizen has
time only to skim the out*Ides of the
proposed, laws. He often lacks the
technical training to unravel its real
meaning.I The same is Into of the
average member of the Legislature. As
a result (In many legislatures there
are numbers of "blind bills" passed
which are Innocent enough In appear-
ance but which, behind general terms,
carry concealed deep some special
privilege. Which If made public the
people would not allow to pass Into
law.
Within an hour after any bill Is In-
troduced the People's Lobby In New
York has pretty clearly unravelled its
meaning and has typewritten explan-
ations of It waiting for the newsppper
correspondents. The lobby has also
sent the bill to a committee of fifteen
lawyer experts In New York Cltv, who
further seek to ferret out all the hid-
den ramifications of the proposed law.
It Is turning the search light of train-
ed Intellects upoii legislation, and Is a
powerful engine for preventing blund-
ers as well as corruption.
Of the bills condemned bv tho Peo-
ple's lyibby of Ni v York during Its
two years of ej>i<?'enco not n single
one has passed, al'hough bitter fights
were necessary to defeat sonif of
them. Th-"- report published rfhniially
also sets fo*-th the record c4 e'n:h
member of the legislature, stating
truthfully whether he has been absent
frequently and negligent, whether he
has supported condemned bills and
whether he is worthy of re-election
Condemnation hy the People's I^ibby
has defeated a number of members
for re-election In the opinion of
many thoughtful men, the People's
Lobby Is a step In tho right direction

receiving a hot treatment at ih« hands
of the dailies of the state, both morn-
ing and afternoon and /particularly

ture slopped over ba^ly In charging
these country papers with Imbecility
and lack of Influence and they will
find It so when they come to face
their record at borne. A legislature
elected solely ^Tom the editors of the
country papers of Texas would be a
real Improvement over the present
one.

plicity and usefulness being its chief
recommendations. Try It.—William-

by the apple growers and truck grow-
ers of Illinois for lower freight rates
on their garden and orchard products.
These grower# contend for a rate on
apples equally us low as that quoted by
the roads for l|ve stock, and in the
truck products at a rate not to exceed
33 per cent In advance of stock rates.
The rrtads contend that this is Impos-
sible as the perishable nature of the
shipments and the refrigeration neces-
sary laregly Increases the cokt or ship-
ment beyond tHe rates proposed by the
orchardlsts and the truck growers.
This question of freight rates to mar-
ket, by fast truck train, is one of the
utmost Importance to the shippers, as
a very little change in the rate means
all the difference between profit and
loss In their marketings The grower's
association ann the railroads are mu-
tually interested In making these rates
the best possible for both, as upon
this depends the extent to which the
market garden and the orchard shall
develop, and upon the extent of this
development will the volume of ship-
ments rest.—San Antonio Light.

HOG RAISING IN TEXAS.
Tho Journal has heretofore mention-
ed that one of the most attractive
'deas yet advanced for the pleasure of
Beaumont people Is a good macadam-
ized road extending from the court
house In this city to the gulf beach be-
low Sabine. The plan Is feasible and
when undertaken It will open up a
magnificent area of farming and gar-
dening country, and besides, will be a
speedway and automobile driveway
unparalleled In the state. There's a
chance of getting the road, too, but
more than this the Journal Is not per-
mitted to say.—Beaumont Journal
An effort should be made by Corsl-
cana to Interest farmers in the 8P"t-
log drag.—Corslcana Sun.
Good roads Is the Lamar County slo-
gan. and co-operation in their construc-
tion must be made .the watchword.
Good roads only are necessary to put
Lamar County at the very head of the

FAST TRUCK TRAINS AND RATES.
! Th,1 fast truck train for Southwest
| Texas is ordered over the lines of the
Kntv. from Galveston north. "This will
j necessarily be followed by the Santa
Fe. along whose lines there Is more
land to the growing of berries and
truck produce, In the vicinity of Hous-
ton and Galveston and between these
cities, than there Is along the lines of
the Katy In thai section. In this end
of the state coast' Hne the .Sop will
have the bulk of the shipments and
that road can always be depended on
to meet the wants of Its shippers by
affording the best facilities for
ling perishable products to their mar-
ket. In this connection It la interest-
ing to note the contention that is made
Much has been written and much
has been said about the demand for
Texas hogs in the local markets and
the profit which Is sure to accrue to
the farmer who engages In hog raising
even to a limited degree. There are
not enough hogs raised in Texas to
•supply the local demand, and the pack-
ing houses have been pleading, with
small response to their entreaties, for
an Increase In the offerings of native
hogs.
The farmers of Texas are proud of
the packing house Industries of the
state, nnd they boast of the volume of
business transacted annually, yet they
fail to embrace the opportunity that lg
not only afforded, but presented to
them at their very doors with an In-
vitation to embrace It, to share in the
prosperity which they know the
packing houses enjoy.
It Is time for the Texas farmer to
awaken to a realization of the value of
the chances which he is now thought-
lessly throwing away. If the enter-
prise of hog raising involved any
great expenditure the farmer might
have some excuso for failing to em-
bark in it, but It costs very little to
provide good blooded stock at the be-
ginning and the profit comes surely
and quickly. There is enough wasted
on every farm in Texas to fatten a
bunch of hogs every year. By the
feeding of this waste to pigs the pro-
cess of growing money will be estab-
lished. A very little corn to round off
the fattening will be an advantage,
and one that will bring more for the
corn tban if it were to be hauled di-
rectly to market. From every stand-
point the raising of hogs should ap-
peal to the farmer for from no other
source can he secure such financial
returns.
As with everything else In the pro-
fession of farming, the hog grower
should make It a point to secure the
best stock A little inquiry and expe-
rimenting will reveal which Is best.
Under no consideration should the far-
mer waste his time and his feed on In-
ferior stock. A raiorback or one of
his descendant# will eat more and
make less flc«h than a thoroughbred
hog. and he la not worth so much,
pound for pound, on the market. Ob-
servance of 'his difference will be the
means of swelling profita.
In any event the Texas farmer
should engage In hog raising right
now. If he can't get blooded stock
then let him raltie the best he can,
but raise hogs—Fort Worth Record.
During lt 06 the wealth of the South
Increased $7,300,000 for every day of
the year,, .Sunday* included, or a total
of $J,f>'*i.?mli0.iVlO. The actual increase
in assessed values was $1,076,479,788,
and this was on the average 40 per
cent of the true value. The amazing
magnitude of this gain of |7.300,000 a
day is strikingly shown by the state-
ment of the I,ondon Express, which,
bemoaning the inability of Great Brit-
ain to keep pace with America's
growth, put the Increase in Great Brit-
ain's wealth at S7.000.000 a week.
Contrast the South s Increase of 17/
300,000 a day with Great Britain's |7.-
OOO.OOO a week, and then think of the
future.
Greatt Britain, with comparatively
few natural resources, dependent upon
the outside world for nearly all Its
foodstuffs, for much of its iron ore,
for all of Its cotton, and (a large pari
of Its lumber, and with Only 10,000
square miles of coal, of which a large
portion has been worked out, has 40,-
000.000 )>eople crowded Into an area
equal to that of less than half of Texas.
On the other hand, look at the
South, with the world's cotton trade
in Its absolute domination, with 62.-
000 square miles of virgin coal fields,
with iron ore sufficient to duplicate
for years to come the whole iron and
steel trade of all Europe, with almost
limitless soli capabilities already pro-
ducing over 800,000,000 bushels of
grain a year, and several hundred mil-
lion dollars' worth of diversified farm
products, able to produce foodstuff#
