Protesting that In the faoa at -the assur-
ance of an enormous abnormal traffic
thla fall and winter higher freight ratas
' would unnecessarily exact $3000000 from
' Texas commercial enterprises Texa
Commercial Secretaries this afternoon
petitioned southeastern railroads to re-
consider their action in putting Into effect
: August 10 a horlsontal advance of 10
per cent.
Ia harmony with the action of the
Farmers' Union the secretaries advocate
the establishment by the State of a cotton
mill to use convict labor and manufacture
dog tall cotton Into cotton bagging.
Texaa capital Is urged to Invest in cotton
jknllls In Teras. The organisation of
farmers is strongly approved by the sec-
retaries. 1 The resubmission of the constitutional
amendment providing for special taxes to
build good roads Is sought and the work-
ing of convicts on public road raised
i After choosing Ban Antonio for the
next meeting place and before adjourning
finally the secretaries adopted a series
of resolutions embracing many important
propositions besides those mentioned in
the foregoing.
President Arnold declared the meeting
lust closed by far the most successful
ever held by the association. He accepts
It as a wakening of the business element
to their welfare and predicts great ac-
complishments In the future for the up-
building of Texas.
TWO IMPORTANT MATTERS. 1
Undoubtedly the two actions of the
three days convention that will create
the most public interest are those pro-
testing against the freight rate advances
and the recommendation of establish-
ments of cotton mills for making cotten
bagging.
Colonel O. P. Thomas of Abilene Intro-
duced the freight rate resolution and It
was added to the report of the resolu-
tions committee. "Some six months ago."
explained Colonel Thomas 'conditions
may have been such that caused the
railroads to fear Igreat loss of revenue
but now big crops are reported In almost
every section of the country and there
Is no apparent need for higher rates. The
fact Is there Is already talk of congestion
of freight traffic and all roads have
prepared for an enormous business. Bo
the railroads admit that -the fall and
winter promises a satisfactory business
yet they want 10 per cent higher rates to
continue to apply. We are against it
and will use every legitimate means with-
in our power to save Texas commerce
this annual loss of over WiOOO.OOO.''
Heretofore the charge has been made
ty some that the railroads were the
.principal backers of the Commercial Sec-
retaries association and the protest
against advanced rates will evidently
hare the effect of silencing that criti-
cism. At the same time the secretaries
hope to render a material service to the
State in this matter.
THE COTTON MW. MATTER.
The proposal for a State cotton mill
doubtless will Incur the condemnation of
organised labor of Texas which has al-
ready gone on record as firmly opposed
to this Idea. The farmers are In sym-
pathy with it It is claimed however
and the secretaries feel that the State
can manufacture cotton bagging and aid
the farmers in fighting the Jute trust
as consistently as It can manufacture
Iron. The urging of Texas capital to
Invest In cotton mills In Texas will please
the farmers Immensely and the general
trend of the actions of the convention
has been to bring the farmer and the
business man closer together.
Labor has no objection to the employ-
ment of convl 't labor on the puhlio roads.
The entire resolutions adopted by the
secretaries embracing numerous impor-
tant Idees follow:
To the Officers and Members of the Com-
mercial Secretaries' Association.
Your committee on resolutions having
duly considered ways and means for pro-
moting the material progress of Texas
Blong advanced and at the same time
conservative lines and in the Interest of
the general welfare of the State begs
leave to submit the following resolutions:
RIVER NAVIGATION
Whereas. It Is believed that the naviga-
tion of the Texas rivers Is highly neces-
sary to the fullest development of the
vast resources of the State; therefore be
It
Resolved. That the Texas Commercial
Secretaries association respectfully urge
our representatives In congress and the
Vnlted States senate to give all Texas
navigation projects their most careful
consideration and thnt they exert their
best efforts to secUre Federal appropria-
tions adequate to the purpose of estab-
lishing navigation thereby making these
natural resources valuable arteries for
the transportation of the products of
Texas farmers and factories and opening
extensive areas of fertile lands to agri-
culture. Resolved. That upon request the offi-
cers and members of this association ren-
der all assistance In the bounds of pro-
priety becoming their official station to
promote the objects mentioned herein.
GOOD ROADS.
Whereas a proposed constitutional
amendment providing for a levy of a
special tax In political subdivisions of
counties and the Issuance of bonds for
the construction and maintenance of
macadamized graveled or turnpike roads
or in aid thereof was submitted to the
people along with other proposed amend-
ments on August 6. 1907 and was de-
feated: and.
Whereas we regard the defeat of this
measure and also the one providing for
Improvement districts in cities as being
a great misfortune to our State which
has been so seriously handicapped In
making public Improvements and retard-
ed any Improvement made possible; be It
Resolved. That It Is the sense of this
convention of Commercial Secretaries that
These proposed amendments should be
submitted to the people at the earliest
possible time and that we memorialise
the Thirty-first legislature to do so.
pledging our support of the measures In
tuir respective localities We further urge
the consideration of ways and means of
providing State aid. and especially the
employment of convicts on public roads
where permanent construction Is under-
taken. Convicts are being successfully em-
ployed In this work ami we commend tills
suggestion to the legislative committee
EDUCATION AMKNDMKNT.
Whereas the Texas conference on edu-
cation composed of the leading educators
of the State are striving to secure the
adoption of an amendment to the con-
stitution relative to the Improvement of
our schools; and.
Whereas we realise the importance of
providing every possible facility for the
education of our young.
Resolved. TliHt we Indorse the effort
now being msile and pledge our support
of the amendment proposed.
UTILIZING WATER POWER.
Believing In the utilisation as well as
(be conservatism of all natural resources
We call public attention to the possibili-
ties of manufacturing and the creation
of unlimited and Inexhaustible electric
energy by the development of the lm-
rrtense water power now allowed to go
to waste In the rivers or Texas. At
Various points along the most Important

ment of material Interests and the ad-
vancement of civilisation.
PROTECTION AGAINST RIVER OVER-
FLOWS. We direct public attention to the enor-
mous loss In real estate farm Invest-
ments and growing crops annually re-
sulting frony overflow of the main water
courses la Texaa and the lack of natural
protection against such damage. Be-
lieving It .o be the duty of legislators
to devise protective measures In relation
to economlo matters as well as to pro-
vide for the peaceable and equitable gov-
ernment of society sre call on the Thirty-
first legislature to enact appropriate and
effective laws whereby the State may
safeguard its oHlxeoe . from property
losses of this character or that will en-
able those directly affected to emplov
means necessary to checkmate these
overflows and thereby save millions of
dollars worth of property to the BtaHe's
taxable value and prevent a waste of
labor and capital to an Industrial class of
cltliens.
STATE AGRICULTURAL
MENT.
DEPART-
Resolved That It la the sense of the
Texas Commercial Secretaries' association
that the agricultural department of the
8tate of Texas has been hampered by lack
of funds necessary to compile statistics
of the agricultural products of Texas and
to disseminate proper agricultural Infor-
mation; therefore be It N
Resolved. That the Thirty-first legisla-
ture be and Is hereby memorialized to
Provld sufficient appropriation to en-
able the department of agriculture to
collect necessary statistics and otherwise
make Itself useful to the agricultural and
commercial Interests of the State. And
we further urge the establishment of ex-
perimental stations in different sections of
the State. We further urge the re-estab-llshment
of the bureau of mineral survey
with sufficient support to make it ef-
fective. EXHIBIT AT ALASKA-YUKON EXPO-
SITION. After dne consideration of the advan-
tages and necessity of Texas being rep-
resented on a scale commensurate with?

Cim1.rCl?' ecrearlea' association reaf-
firms Its Indorsement of yesterday with
nW1' """""on. and In view
of the need of early action In the prem-
ises we respectfully refer the subject to
the executive committee of this associa-
tion urging the Immediate assembling of
that boa in .peel for th))
mulgatlon of effective working plana for
carrying out the purposes of This resolu-
tion. And In the event of the Inability
of the executive committee to convene at
once that we recommend the appointment
of a special committee by this associa-
tion for the purposes herein named.
SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL SECRETA-
RIES INDORSED.
We heartily approve of any organized
movement having as Its primary purpose
the development of the Industrial Inter-
ests of the country whether for tle own-
ership the States or the nation therefore
the Idea of a Southern commercial con-
gress s s proposed by the Southern Com-
mercial Secretaries' association meets
with our indorsement as being a legiti-
mate movement of this character and we
respectfully commend same to the consld-
.Z.0t . " v"rlou; 'Ol organizations
In Texas leaving the adoption of the
Plans suggested to their IndTvldual discre-
tion. W e also Indorse the plans and pur-
poses of the 8otithem Commercial asso-
ciation recently organized at Chattanooga
Tenn. '
KURT HER ORGANIZATION ADVISED
Seeing the good results already attained
through organized efforts we urge upon
all cities and towns where no commercial
flV .rK slmllRr tidies are now main-
tained the Importance of immediate or-
ganization for the reason that In the new
era of tndustral and commercial develop-
ment the quickest and most substantial
benefits will accrue to those communities
which maintain such organizations and
are prepared to advertise their local ad-
vantages and other Inducements to people
from other sections to locate with them
and aid In their material progress.
ORQANIZATIONOF FARMERS AP-
PROVED. The common good of society can beet
be subserved through Intelligent and pa-
triotic co-operation In matters of eco-
nomics therefore we rejoice to note- the
growth of the Idea of organization and
co-operation among the farming classes
in the management of their business af-
fairs and pledge our support to their un-
dertakings wherever can be most consist-
ently given.
COTTON MILLS ADVOCATED.
Believing that the progressive and public-spirited
citizens of this State Indorse
the work of the Texas Commercial Secre-
taries' association ami approve the ef-
forts made for public progress and the
securing of a square deal whether Indi-
vidual or corporate Interest so long as
the majesty of the law Is respected we
look to the future with renewed courage
and determination to make the record for
the ensuing year such that added recog-
nition may be accorded our efforts and
added force given those things we stand
for. to the end that our great State may
go forward In all lines of mnterlal and
substantial progress and positive develop-
ment at a greater speed than heretofore
attained since the State Is already en-
gaged In manufacturing.
We strongly favor the establishment by
the Stste of a mill to manufacture what
is known as dog tatl cotton Into cotton
bagging to the end that extended usei
of cotton In every possible manner shall
be encouraged and aided. We point with
satisfaction to the report In the Texas
press of this date recommending that cot-
ton manufacturing In the South Is for
the first time In t fie history of our coun-
try In advance of cotton manufacturing
in the North giving evidence thst our
people realize the advantages of manu-
facture as near the cotton fields as possi-
ble. We respectfully suggest that whnt
the older 8outhem States have done
alons this line can not only be duplicated
in Texas but not ne trebled and quad-
rupled and we call our people of all
classes and sections to take tinder serious
cnralderatlon the establishment of cotton
mills to manufacture Texas cotton. An-
other evidence of the progressive spirit
of this State is the epenlng of freight
steamship lines between the ports of Gal-
veston and Jamaica.
FREIGHT RATK REDUCTION RE-
QUESTED. Whereas the railways of the South-
west through the action of the South-
western Traffic association ha made a
horizontal Increase In the freight tariffs
of 10 per cent claimed to have bee jusH-
fleld by depresesM conditions prevailing
some six months ago and.
Whereas since that time there hna
been a commercial revival and especially
In Texas which the railroads recognlzo
In restoring their suspended employes and
In Installing new trains to handle the
enormous traffic assured for this fall;
therefore be It
Resolved That the betterment of the
outlook and conditions prevailing elim-
inates the necessity of higher rates apply-
ing to traffic Into Texas and we therefore
petition the railroads to reconsider their
sctlon and lift this unnecessary burden
of 13.000.000 loss from the shoulders of our
people.
TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR FACTORIES
Whereas. The need of additional fac-
tories for the manufacture of farm prod-
ucts and believing that the vigorous fao-
tory campaign should be Waged In very
town and community and la ordar taa
if I f
" Ma'kde '
Model LJr
the greatest possible Inducements may
be offered those seeking locations In
Texas be It
Resolved That It Is the sense of the
Texas Commercial Secretaries' associa-
tion that a Joint resolution should be
passed by the Thirty-first legislature
submitting to the people of Texas an
amendment to the constitution allowing
municipalities to remit taxation for a
term of years to manufacturing concerns
under Txns charter locating In their
limits. This resolution to be along the
lines of the Nelms resolution defeated In
the Twenty-ninth legislature by one vote.
And further It is recommended that the
legislative committee of this body take
up the matter and secure. If posslblo.
the presentation of such an amendment.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
Statement of Result of Inspection by
Dr. J. H. Wilion.
(Houstcn Post Special. i
SAN ANTONIO. Texas. September 11
Tuberculosis among Texas cattle Is of
exceedingly Infrequent prevalence ac-1
cording to Dr. J. H. Wilson of Quanah
chairman of the State live stock sanitary
board who Is in this city. During the
last eight months Dr. Wilson has Inspect-
ed about ZKOO dairy cattle and by his
studies In this particular has established
the fact that less than 1 per cent of the
cattle of the' State are suffering from this
disease. The official considers this show-
ing an excellent one.
Dr. Wllaon came here on business of
a private nature and left last night for
Washington where he goes as a delegate
from Texas to the annual meeting of the
Interstate Association of Live Stock
Boards which begins next Monday. The
meeting he says promises to be of un-
usual Importance both because of a very
interesting program mapped out and be-
cause of the synonymous convening of
the International tuberculosis congress.
Consideration of tuberculosis among
cattle will. Dr. Wilson believes occupy
the attention of the live stock men for
the greater part of their session and In
addition to their own discussion they will
be able to add to their supply of knowl-
edge on the subject by attending the ses-
sions of the congress. Glanders anthrax:
and tick fever will be other diseases of
cattle that will be carefully considered
by delegates to the coming meeting.
