Editor Hetperian :
The blind howlers for the pres-
ent railway commission law seem
to think they have created some-
thing new under the sun. For
their reward they modestly claim
a monopoly of office.
The plan of a dictatorship had
its origin in the crudest ideas of
government. The Greeks had
their tryants; the Romans had
their dictators, and the last of
these, Cffisar, held over and be-
came emperor.
The French at one time created
three dictators, Robespierre,
Dantou and Marat, called "a com-
mittee of public safety."
We of the sooth had a taste of
a dictatorship on a small soale in
the shape of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau.
The problem of transportation
is perhaps the greatest with which
modern society is forced to con-
tend. It does not settle or eluci-
date the subject to turn it over to
three commissioners with power
to do as they please. What they
may do is as uncertain as the
length of their feet or the size of
their heads.
A commission, or dictatorship,
has been created with full power
to do as they like. They can
even prescribe the weight, length
and width of a bale of cotton.
Three school boys could have
originated the idea of solving the
transportation problem by con-
ferring absolute power upon three
men to do what they should think
best, and conld have drafted the
bill in three lines.
The governor says he called to
his old sly Thomas Brown and
slippery Alex Terrell.
Upon that occasion Terrell wore
a white rose, emblematic of purity
and innocence. Brown wore his
usual affidavit face. Between the
three they drafted ten pages of
jargon to say that the governor
should appoint three commission-
ers with power to do as they deem-
ed fit in all matters relating to rail
roads or transportation.
Tne governor said the people
are not competent to elect the
three commissioners, for they can
be imposed upon and misled.
They can, however, always be de-
pended upon to elect a wise and
patriotic governor and represent-
atives. You and I, Terrell, are
shining examples of this. As we
will always have a wise and patri-
otic governor who will use his
high office ior the public good,and
not to further his selfish ambition,
we will not allow the people
to select their dictators in mat-
ters of transportation, but we will
let the governor appoint whom be
pleases and remove them at his
discretion. In this way, too, we
can lug the commission ques-
tion into every race for gov-
ernor, and, as heretofore,
play upon the prejudice of
the people against railroads, which
is our only merit.
Hogg, Brown, Terrell & Co.
claim thai the people owe them a
lasting debt of gratitude for form-
ing this law, which can only be
paid in office. Hogg, they say, is
a greater man than Sam Houston.
Sam Houston risked his life in
defending Texas against the tyran-
ny of Santa Anna, the Mexican
dictator. Hogg risked his health
speaking in the open air while
playing the demagogue for the
sake of office.
As soon as he got into office he
olaimed that the people who bad
elected him did not have sense
enough to elect anybody else. He
threatened and intimidated the
legislature by telling them that
unless he was given the right to
nsme the commissioners the peo-
ple should have no commissioners
at all.
How wonld that grand old pa-
triot, Sam Houston, have acted
nnder the same circumstances f
What wonld have been the acts
of Santa Annaf .
Who does Hogg most resem-
ble, Sam Houston; the patriot, or
Santa Anna, the dictator f
Whether wisely or unwisely, the
legislature passed a commission
law giving the three men abso-
lute power. Even the opponents
of the measure are willing to give
itafairtriaL No one wants to re-
peal the law. If the people
are competent to select their gov-
ernor, their congressmen and their
supreme judges, they areeertainly
competent to elect their three
railroad commissioners. They de-
mand this right, and will have it
in spite of Hogg and his gang.
Hogg is a shrewd demagogue
and has gauged well the ex-
isting prejudice in the minds of
the people against railroads and
other corporations. He has sur-
rounded himself with a gang who
will do anything for office. This
is their only stock in trade. They
want to pose as the striped back-
ed haters of railroads by going
further than any wise man would
go, or any conscientious man
conld go.
All intelligent people who do
not seek office under Hogg have
measured him correctly, and have
contempt for him as the most un-
scrupulous demagogue in the
state.
It is enough to make a sensi-
b'e man sick to read in thepublic
prints communications of M. A.
Stamper and other political dream-
ers. Such men as Stamper make
the success of demagogues like
Hogg possible. Stamper ought
to realize that if be hasn't got
capacity enough to vote for a rail
road commissioner, he hasn't
judgment enough to vote for gov-
ernor, and ought to remain
silenL Stamper has taken up
with every hobby for the last
fifteen years. He was one of
the most ardent advocates
of the fiat money greenback hob-
by. Hogg makes his speeches to
catch just such men as Stamper,
and beyond donbt if Stamper and
his crowd are in the majority
Hogg will be the next governor
Stamper says he has taken Clark's
advice and "soaked his head," but
evidently he has not soaked his
head in clear, cool water, but in
sour buttermilk which has addled
his brain worse than before.
