RAILROAD REHABILITATION.
Dy L. M. IIEWIT.
To the close observer of railroad
manipulation It has been evident for
some time that rehabilitation must
soon begin or entire disintegration
would be sure. The entire American
system stands In drastic need of Im-
mediate Improvement. No place Is
this need so apparent to the entire
public as In Texas. The Interstate
Commerce Commission has recognized
the futility of ordering Improvements
without providing a rr.ans and after
long and careful Investigation has or-
dered an Increase In freight rates on
Eastern roads to provide this moans.
An estimate by experts In railroad
construction Is that a billion dollars
must be expended by the American
railroads In the near future In order
to bring the transportation facilities
up to the requirements of the present
need and future expectation.
In a re -etit address made by Chair-
mun E. E. Clnr!( of the commission to
the National Association of Railroad
Commissioners this significant truth
was propounded. He told his hearer
that the railroads could not provide
the transportation facilities asked of
them as to freight and passengers
unless their Income was increased and
their credit strengthened. This meant
he intimated a general If small ele-
vation of rates which was later al-
lowed. He admitted prejudice Against
such policy growing out of the past
high financing and abuses of the cur-
riers. But he said that If carriers are
to be penalized for their past sins the
commerce of the whole Nation would
be made the victim.
No one doubts that the railroads of
the whole country are In need of ex-
tensive standardization. Their equiit-
ment and facilities are entirely Inade-
quate to meet the dally demands upon
them not to anticipate any future In-
creased need. Again Is this deficiency
most apparent In the Texas railroads.
The condition cannot continue much
longer with any degree of safety. No
one realize the situation more keenly
than 'the average railroad head. Ills
greatest anxiety Is for improvement
but he knows that It Is Impossible for
the railroad to market bonds and se-
curities so long a Ita Income Is as
at present barely enough or less than
enough to meet actual fixed expenses.
This contingent ha partially been met
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and the remedy In Texas can
and we believe will be met by the
Texas Commission. It fias reversed
Its decision and will now give the rail-
roads publlo henrlng upon the sub-
ject If the railroads rould borrow the
money needed hypothecating their
securities In return the resulting enor-
mous expenditures would flow Into
every commerclnl and Industrial chan-
nel In the country. The prosperity
that now lucks a finishing touch be-
cause the rullronds are forced to stay
out of the purchasing market would
mount Into unprecedented proportions.
Despite it he temporary lull caused by
the European WmV. the country would
agnin enjoy one of its most prosper-
ous periods.
The public does not object to a
modest Increase In rates. If Increase
were made uniform and without dls-1
crimination. The people are quick to
recognize a crisis when they meet
one and they are beginning to under-
stand the folly of attempting to wreak
punishment upon railroads of today
for the offenses of the railroads of yes-
terduy. The public simply wants to
know that It la to get the needed
facilities recognizing the fact that an
Increase In rules to provide for the Im-
provement will be to the public a
profitable Investment The people of
this great country are Inherently fnlr.
They believe In' a Just recompense for
a Just service. They are willing that
nil Investments for public service
should pay a fair dividend. They do
not fear a repetition of olden days ex-
ploitation because they are safe
guarded but they do demand adequate
transportation and expect the roads
to receive a revenue sufficient to
how the capitalist an adequate re-
turn to tepipt the Investment
There was never a time when the
public and railroads were so closely
allied. The management Is of a dif-
ferent type. It recognize the claim
of the public to adequate service as
an Inalienable right. The public la
taken Into the confidence of the roads
as a public servant The public Is
brought Into a better understanding
of the Intricate working and magni-
tude of the service rendered by the
coniomn carriers. The Texas Commis-
sion itself seems Inclined to be re-
ceptive. In view of this crystallizing
situation the roads of Texas stand an
Increasingly excellent chnnce of dis-
posing of. their securities upon fair
terms and to administer the proceeds
strictly for the rehabilitation nf which
they stand so desperately in need and
for the extension Into new territory.

A LEAF FROM THE LIFE OF H06o.

When James S. Hong was Governor
of Texas there walked Into his office
one day stranKer who Introduced i
hlmseir and related one of the
strangest occurrences that marks the
pages of criminal annals. It was in
substances as follows:
When a boy this man had been
engaged by a cattleman In one of the
far western counties of Texas to as-
sist him with the cattle then on the
range. The cattleman had him round
up a bunch of cattle In one of the far
ranges telling him they were his. but
which proved to be the property of
another and the cattleman and boy
were arrested tried and both convict-
ed and given a term In the peniten
tiary for cattle theft. The boy escaped
Jail secured a pistol and made his way
to New Mexico. While on the road
he met a stage with one lone passen-
ger whom he commanded to alight
and throw up his hands which was
done In proper regulation time. He
took from the passenger a purse con-
taining Sl.'.O and after counting the
money returned $75 !o the passenger
gave him a receipt for 73 and took
his postofflce address and parted from
him with 'he assurance that as soon
as he could do so he would restore
the money taken which In due time
was returned as promised. He went
to one of the Northwestern Terri-
tories and there prospered and was
elected sheriff and subsequently was
appointed a United States marshal
and was held In high esteem by all
the neighbors. He had married and
f. that time had a daughter thirteen
years old and had come to the Gov-
ernor to surrender and serve out his
sentence if he required it. After the
man had finished relating the strange
tale of adventure ill fortune and suc-
cess Governor Hogg said to him: '"I
wish to ask you one question: When
you were courting your wife and asked
her to marry you did you tell her you
were an escaped convict!" This be-
ing answered In the affirmative the
big Governor replied: "Well by gat-
lins! you shall not serve a day In the
penitentiary; I will pardon you now."
So he did and a copy of the pardon
Is now In the Secretary of State's of-
fice at Austin with all the facts set
forth. State Topics.
DEVELOP NEW GRAIN MARKET.
(By Associated Press.)
Galveston Tex. Aug. 23. A new-
market for Southwest grain will be
developed it is believed by the paral-
ysis of the expert trade to Europe dur-
ing the war. According to local indi-
cations large quantities of wheat will
be diverted to South American coun-
tries which ordinarily grow enough
for their own consumption but which
need American grain for seed and mix-
ing. European export trade is expect-
ed to show a quick recovery after the
question of naval supremacy among
the Nations is settled.
