A S THE RAILROADS declined in influence and
political power, they were supplanted by tile
oil industry which owns the T.xas legislature and
will own tlv U. S. Congress if John Connally stays
in Washington 1 mg enough. Of course, Connally
has plenty of help from both parties, 'pecifically
the Republicans allied with the "conservative Dem-
