cent below the tarifi' of rates
charged by the members of the
traffic association, which is nothing
more nor less than a pool and a
"trust,'" in which the roads forming
it have banded together and organ-
ized a conspiracy and combination
to rob and extort excessive freight
O
rates from the people and business
men who are compelled to patronize
one or other of the roads forming
the pool and are at their mercy.
Nearly every trunk line railroad in
the state; with the exception
Aransas Pass road, is a member of
the pool, and no doubt it was
thought that when the Fort Worth
and Denver road was opened for
business it could be easily forced in-
to it also. It was natural to expect
that at the start this new road
would make rates a tiiie less than
were established by the pool in or-
der to advertise it and to establish a
business. But the pool gave itself
no trouble about this, believing that
it could easily meet the reduction
and force the road eventually to
come up to its rates and join the
pool. It appears, however, that
Manager Meek had anticipated all
this and started in with the deter-
mination not only of not entering
into the "combine,"' but of making
such low rates that the pool could
not afford to make a corresponding
reduction or duplicate the rates, and
thus save himself the disadvantage
and embarrassment of taking a sec
ond stand. Therefore, instead of
making a reduction of about 10 per
cent, as was anticipated, he made a
reduction of 35 per cent, which the
pool, although vastly stronger, can
not afford to meet except at a great
loss. When Mr. Meek published
his freight rates a great sensation
was created. Two meetiius of tLe
pool hare been held—one at Fort
Worth and one at Galveston— a;:d
Mr. Meek has been earnestly labored
with by the "combine" in the en-
deavor to teach him the error of his
way in establishing such low rates.
Mr. Meek fails to see that he is in
error in refusing to entsr into the
conspiracy. In point of lc cation
and mileage his road has greatly
the advantage of any road in the
pool, and as long as he has the. ad-
vantage and can afford to make low
rates and di a v the traffic from the
other roads he declines to consider
any scheme to rob and plunder the
public. As a consequence, these
banded cormorants threaten to car-

It is probable that the present
management of the state lunatic asy-
lum will be the subject of an investi-
gation by a committee of the legis-
lature. The bickerings and internal
dissensions in that institution justify
the suspicion that there is something
dead up the creek.

failing to open the territory lawfully
