THE COMMERCIAL USE OF
TEXAS HIGHWAYS IS A
PRIVILEGE, NOT A RIGHT
# The highways of Texas are the property of Its dti/ena. They constitute
a system of nearly 200,000 miles of road of which 20,000 miles are desig.
nated as State highways and the remainder are county roads. All types of
road are represented In this system, less than 5% have so-called "perma-
nent" surface.
The total cost of these highways is unknown but it amounts to many
hundred million dollar*. From 1917 to 1930, inclusive, counties and road
districts of the State issued $248,592,834 in bonds for the construction and
improvement of roads and bridges. In the two-year period ending August
31, 1930, the State Highway Commission expended $89,032,825, of which
$22,488,426 was for maintenance of State highways.
In view of these tremendous costs the preservation of our highways from
rapid wear and destruction is a matter of very vital interest to their own-
ers, viz., the public. It is especially Important that they be made to outlast
the life of the bonds, whleh run from 20 to 30 years.
The use of the public highways for commercial purposes is not a right
but a privilege which may be withheld or granted subject to such restric-
tions, regulations and charges as the Legislature may see fit to impose.
Such regulations are intended to promote safety, preserve* the highways
and safeguard the interests of the public.
Texas Railroads, which pay the entire cost of construction and mainte-
nance of their own roadbeds and, in addition, make substantial contribu-
tions to the cost of Texas highways, are thoroughly regulated with respect
to their services, rates, methods and practices. There Is no good reason why
commercial users of the highways, built and maintained at the expense of
the public, should not likewise be regulated to such extent as the public
interest requires and pay such charges as will represent proper compensa-
tion for the privileges granted them.
• The statutes governing highway transportation as enacted by the Forty-
second Legislature represent the wishes of the citizens of this State and
express their desire to give equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
These statutes shoufd be given a fair trial and their value ascertained.
UnlMs this Is done, a ehaotlc condition in transportation as a whole will
surely enne.

QUICKER, BETTER
RELIEF from use of
Black-Draught
"I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty-
five years, for It is easy to take,"
writes Mr. George T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. "I take It for con-
stipation and when I have that
dull, tired feeling. I take It for
colds and other complaints where
a good laxative Is needed, and 1
believe It gives me quicker and
better relief than any other medi-

been a help to me."

Man Hears Own
Funeral Sermon
Austin, Texas, August 8--
When "Uncle Jim" Elam, 83,
dies it will not be necessary
to have any funeral, as funeral
services for "Uncle Jim," who
is still alive, were held yester-
day with him as the most in-
terested observer and he
could now finish his days in
peace, knowing what some
men never know, that his
community thinks well of him.
Yesterday "Uncle Jim" sat
with scores of friends and rel-
atives at the Agnes Baptist |
church and heard Rev. J. B. I
Denison preach Uncle Jim's
funeral.
The Rev. Mr Denison used
as his text for the funeral ser-
mon the words of the Apostle
Paul. "1 have fought a good
fight, I have kept the faith."
The services had been plan-
ned by Elam several weeks
ago. He told friends he want-
ed to hear his own funeral and
that if they had any flowers to
give him he wanted them be-
fore his death.
