R. W. (Chub) Wortham, a well
known lawyer of Paris, Texas, and at
one time one of the popular University
students, was here yesterday on buste
ness with the executive department.
Mr. Wortham has just completed a trip
to Mexico, where he has been in the
kind. It made no difference to him
what seclion of the* state any bill af-
fected; all he inquired about was
; whether its purpose was good before

I that those who had assaulted this bill
. would lay aside their prejudices and
consider it on its merits and divest
j their minds of the notin that it was
an East Texas political scheme. He
reminded Hill that Fast Texas had
voted for him for lieutenant governor
and was big enough to do so again,
and that he should be willing to give
that secton of the old state what it
deserves.
that ‘his measure would cause some
stir, it was’ not thought that it
would assume such proportions. For
two days the house has done practi-
cally nothing but debate on lids prop- .
osition and no effort has been made to
move the previous question on the bill.
Able arguments are advanced on both
aides of the proposition, incidentally
it may be said that the railroads are
not favoring the passage of this meas-
ure. This, however, dos not seem to
be the point. It is the question as to
whether this step would not lead ulti-

roads that have permission to use the
streets or the ci‘y that gave the per-
miission?
Both tha city and the railroads have
profited by -heir mutual contracts.
This being the case, it would .appear
that both should be responsible for
the cost of extraordinary means that
must be provLied in operating their
respective businesses without incon-
veniencing or harming each other.
In the beginning when the contracts
were made that were designed to be
mutually beneficial to the city and the
railroads, it was never contemplated
that both would grow so great as to
inconvenience or impede each other.
That condition has arisen. Who will
pay the cost to relieve the situation?
Viewing the matter. from a practical
standpoint, it would seem that .the
dictates of common sense and mutual
interest would cause them to get to-
gether and decide the question with-
out the pale of legal enactment. But
it seems this can not be done.
A' study of the rise of cities and
the expansion of transportation teaches
that in the early stages of a combina-
tion between a city and a railroad, the
city profits most, but when tha period
