legislature toward capital has a
great deal to do with forming the
attitude of capital toward pro-
posed investments within a state.
Experiences Texas and other
states have had in the past, when
unwise legislation drove out
large corporations, ought not to
be forgotten at a time when there
is a disposition among the more
progressive cities of Texas to
seek new industries.
If this movement cannot be

create wealth, provide employ-
ment and contribute to human
progress. The natural resources
of Texas would still be to a large
extent underground and unde-
veloped if foreign capital had not
provided means for developing
and using these products. Why
not give both local and foreign
